SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On June 1, 2012, the Department and the ITC initiated the second 
sunset review of the Order on solid agricultural grade ammonium nitrate 
from Ukraine, pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 
amended (``the Act'').\2\ As a result of this sunset review, the 
Department determined that revocation of the Order on solid 
agricultural grade ammonium nitrate from Ukraine would be likely to 
lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping and notified the ITC of 
the magnitude of the margin likely to prevail should the order be 
revoked.\3\
