Solid Urea from Ukraine; Final Results of the Expedited Sunset 
Review of the Antidumping Duty Order

AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: On October 1, 2004, the Department of Commerce (``the 
Department'') initiated a sunset review of the antidumping duty 
(``AD'') order on solid urea from Ukraine pursuant to section 751(c) of 
the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the Act''). See Initiation of 
Five-year (Sunset) Reviews, 69 FR 58890 (October 1, 2004). On the basis 
of a notice of intent to participate, an adequate substantive response 
filed on behalf of the domestic interested parties, and inadequate 
response from respondent interested parties (in this case, no 
response), the Department conducted an expedited sunset review of this 
order pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and section 
351.218(e)(1)(ii)(B) of the Department's regulations. As a result of 
this sunset review, the Department finds that revocation of the AD 
order would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping at the 
levels indicated in the ``Final Results of Review'' section of this 
notice.

EFFECTIVE DATE: May 9, 2005.

for Import Administration, International Trade Administration, U.S.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background:
    On October 1, 2004, the Department initiated a sunset review of the 
AD order on solid urea from Ukraine pursuant to section 751(c) of the 
Act. See Initiation of Five-year (Sunset) Reviews, 69 FR 58890 (October 
1, 2004). The Department received a Notice of Intent to Participate 
from the following domestic interested parties: the Ad Hoc Committee of 
Domestic Nitrogen Producers, (consisting of CF Industries, Inc. and PCS 
Nitrogen Fertilizer, LP (collectively ``the Ad Hoc Committee'')), and 
Agrium U.S., Inc. (collectively ``the domestic interested parties'') 
within the deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(I) of the 
Department's regulations. The domestic interested parties claimed 
interested party status under sections 771(9)(C) and (D) of the Act, as 
domestic manufacturers of urea or coalition whose members are engaged 
in the production of urea in the United States. The Department received 
a complete substantive response collectively from the domestic 
interested parties within the 30-day deadline specified in 19 CFR 
351.218(d)(3)(i). However, the Department did not receive any responses 
from the respondent interested parties to this proceeding. As a result, 
pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2), the Department conducted an expedited sunset 
review of this antidumping duty order.
    Scope of the Order:
    The merchandise covered by this order is solid urea, a high-
nitrogen content fertilizer which is produced by reacting ammonia with 
carbon dioxide. The product is currently classified under the 
Harmonized Tariff Schedules of the United States Annotated (``HTS'') 
item 3102.10.00.00. During previous reviews such merchandise was 
classified under item number 480.3000 of the Tariff Schedules of the 
United States. The HTS item number is provided for convenience and 
customs purposes. The written description remains dispositive as the 
scope of the product coverage.
