The Commerce Department began administrative reviews for certain firms subject to antidumping and countervailing duty orders with April anniversary dates (here). Producers and exporters subject to any of these administrative reviews on China or Vietnam must submit their separate rate certifications or applications by July 6 in order to avoid being assigned high China-wide or Vietnam-wide rates.
PCI Nitrogen filed a petition on May 25 with the Commerce Department and International Trade Commission requesting new antidumping and countervailing duties on ammonium sulfate from China. Commerce will now decide whether to begin AD/CVD investigations on ammonium suflate, which is used as a fertilizer as well as in industrial applications.
The Commerce Department published notices in the May 12 Federal Register on the following AD/CV duty proceedings (any notices that announce changes to AD/CV duty rates, scope, affected firms, or effective dates will be detailed in another ITT article):
The Commerce Department issued the preliminary results of its antidumping duty administrative review on fertilizer grade ammonium nitrate from Russia (A-821-811) (here), calculating a zero percent AD rate for JSC Acron and its affiliate JSC Dorogobuzh. If the agency's finding is continued in the final results, importers of subject merchandise from these companies entered between April 2014 and March 2015 will not be assessed AD duties, and future entries from Acron and its affiliate will not be subject to an AD cash deposit requirement until further notice.
A listing of recent antidumping and countervailing duty messages from the Commerce Department posted to CBP's website April 15, along with the case number(s) and CBP message number, is provided below. The messages are available by searching for the listed CBP message number at http://adcvd.cbp.dhs.gov/adcvdweb.

Deere asked the FCC to act on its waiver request from last summer that would allow the company to install TV white space devices manufactured by Koos on agricultural equipment (see 1508210035). Deere asked for a waiver to permit operation of fixed white spaces devices installed on non-fixed, off-road agricultural equipment, including tractors, self-propelled harvesting machines and sprayers. “This operation will make possible real time data gathering and monitoring of equipment and sensor status, dealer inventory tracking, as well as collecting agronomic data pertaining to the status of soil, planting, harvest, fertilizer, insecticide application and moisture levels,” said a footnote to a letter Deere sent to the FCC. “Armed with this real-time, specific information, commercial agricultural producers will be able to significantly improve the efficiency of their operations and streamline work processes, materially increasing crop yields and reducing costs associated with lengthy machine and labor downtime necessary to wait for equipment diagnostics, and repair, offloading and reloading, field management instructions, etc.” Deere said the FCC sought comment and there was no opposition to the proposal. Deere is comfortable with conditions NAB proposed, the company said. “While this Request remains pending, Deere has been unable to earmark the internal product development, financial and personnel resources that will be needed to make this innovative operation a reality,” Deere said in the letter. “The proposed product development is but one of many technology innovations that Deere is pursuing to meet present day and future needs of the agricultural community and rising worldwide demand for food.” Deere’s filing was posted Wednesday in docket 15-184.
