INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION

[Investigation No. 731-TA-894 (Final)]


Certain Ammonium Nitrate From Ukraine

Determination

    On the basis of the record \1\ developed in the subject 
investigation, the United States International Trade Commission 
determines, pursuant to section 735(b) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 
U.S.C. 1673d(b)) (the Act), that an industry in the United States is 
materially injured by reason of imports of certain ammonium nitrate 
from Ukraine, provided for in subheading 3102.30.00 of the Harmonized 
Tariff Schedule of the United States, that have been found by the 
Department of Commerce to be sold in the United States at less than 
fair value (LTFV). The Commission further determines that critical 
circumstances do not exist with regard to those imports of the subject 
merchandise from Ukraine that were subject to the affirmative critical 
circumstances determination by the Department of Commerce.

    \1\ The record is defined in sec. 207.2(f) of the Commission's

Chemicals, Inc., Allentown, PA; El Dorado Chemical Co., Oklahoma City, 
OK; LaRoche Industries, Inc., Atlanta, GA; Mississippi Chemical Corp., 
Yazoo City, MS; and Nitram, Inc., Tampa, FL. The final phase of the 
investigation was scheduled by the Commission following notification of 
a preliminary determination by the Department of Commerce that imports 
of certain ammonium nitrate from Ukraine were being sold at LTFV within 
the meaning of section 733(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1673b(b)). Notice 
of the scheduling of the Commission's investigation and of a public 
hearing to be held in connection therewith was given by posting copies 
of the notice in the Office of the Secretary, U.S. International Trade 
Commission, Washington, DC, and by publishing the notice in the Federal 
Register of March 14, 2001 (66 FR 14933). The hearing was held in 
Washington, DC on July 24, 2001, and all persons who requested the 
opportunity were permitted to appear in person or by counsel.
    The Commission transmitted its determinations in this investigation 
to the Secretary of Commerce on August 31, 2001. The views of the
