Solid Urea From the German Democratic Republic: Termination of
Changed Circumstances Review
AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
ACTION: Notice of termination of changed circumstances review of solid
urea from the German Democratic Republic.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On May 30, 1996, the Department of Commerce (``the
Department'') initiated a changed circumstances review of the
antidumping duty order on solid urea from the former German Democratic
Republic (GDR). The purpose of the review was to calculate a new cash
deposit rate using a market-economy analysis for any shipments of solid
urea from the five German states (Brandenbrug, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern,
Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt, and Thuringia (plus any other territory included
in the former GDR)) that formerly constituted the GDR (hereinafter
``the Five States'') occurring after May 1, 1995 and before May 31,
1996. On August 15, 1996, the Department initiated, based upon receipt
of a timely request from the Ad Hoc Committee of Domestic Nitrogen
Producers (hereinafter ``the petitioners''), an administrative review
covering shipments by SKW Stickstoffwerke Piesteritz GmbH (hereinafter
``SKW Piesteritz'') from the Five States for the period July 1, 1995 to
June 30, 1996. Because the time periods covered by the changed
circumstances review and the administrative review substantially
overlap, and because the Department would conduct essentially the same
analysis in both reviews, the Department is now terminating the changed
circumstances review.
EFFECTIVE DATE: September 20, 1996.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On May 30, 1996, the Department published in the Federal Register
(61 FR 27049) the initiation of a changed circumstances review in which
the Department stated that it would calculate a new cash deposit rate
using a market-economy analysis for any shipments of solid urea from
the Five States occurring after May 1, 1995 and before May 31, 1996. On
August 15, 1996, the Department initiated, in accordance with 19 CFR
353.22(c), an administrative review covering shipments of solid urea by
SKW Piesteritz from the Five States for the period July 1, 1995 to June
30, 1996 (61 FR 42416). This initiation was based upon a timely request
for review submitted by petitioners in accordance with 19 CFR
353.22(a). Because the time periods covered by the changed
circumstances review and the administrative review substantially
overlap, and because the Department would conduct essentially the same
analysis in both reviews, the Department is now terminating the changed
circumstances review. This notice does not affect the pending changed
circumstances review of the antidumping duty order covering solid urea
from the former GDR initiated on February 12, 1992 (57 FR 5130).
This notice is published pursuant to Sec. 353.22(f) of the
Department's regulations (19 CFR 353.22(f) (1995)).
Dated: September 11, 1996.
Joseph A. Spetrini,
Deputy Assistant Secretary, Enforcement Group III.
