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 1, 1995, the Department of Commerce (``the

Department'') initiated a second changed circumstances review of the

antidumping duty order on solid urea from the former German Democratic

Republic (GDR). In the notice of initiation, 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 German states

(Brandenburg, 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 October 2, 1990 and before May 1, 1995. The Department

found that no shipments have occurred during this period and is now

terminating this changed circumstances review.

EFFECTIVE DATE: March 14, 1996.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On May 1, 1995, the Department published in the Federal Register

(60 FR 21067) the initiation of a second changed circumstances review

which stated that as of October 3, 1990, producers located in the Five

States have been operating in a market-oriented economy. In the

initiation notice 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 October 2, 1990 and

before May 1, 1995. The Department has found no evidence of shipments

occurring during this time period and is therefore terminating this

second changed circumstances review.

This notice is published pursuant to section 353.22(f) of the

Department's regulations (19 CFR Sec. 353.22(f) (1995)).

Dated: March 5, 1996.
