Chlorinated Isocyanurates From Spain and the People's Republic of
China: Final Results of the Expedited Sunset Reviews of the Antidumping
Duty Orders
AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
DATES: Effective Date: January 6, 2016.
SUMMARY: As a result of these sunset reviews, the Department of
Commerce (the Department) finds that revocation of the antidumping duty
orders on chlorinated isocyanurates (chlorinated isos) from Spain and
the People's Republic of China (PRC) would be likely to lead to
continuation or recurrence of dumping at the rates identified in the
``Final Results of Review'' section of this notice.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The Department published the antidumping duty orders on chlorinated
isos from Spain and the PRC on June 24, 2005.\1\ On September 1, 2015,
pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the
Act), the Department initiated sunset reviews of the antidumping duty
orders on chlorinated isos from Spain and the PRC.\2\ On September 11,
2015, the Department received a notice of intent to participate from
Clearon Corporation (Clearon), Occidental Chemical Corporation
(OxyChem), and Bio-Lab, Inc. (Bio-Lab), (collectively, the
petitioners), within the deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i).
Petitioners are manufacturers of a domestic like product in the United
States and, accordingly, are domestic interested parties pursuant to
section 771(9)(C) of the Act.

[[Page 462]]
On October 1, 2015, the Department received an adequate substantive
response to the notice of initiation from the domestic interested
parties within the 30-day deadline specified in 19 CFR
351.218(d)(3)(i). The Department did not receive any responses from the
respondent interested parties, i.e., chlorinated isos producers and
exporters from Spain and the PRC. On the basis of the notice of intent
to participate and adequate substantive response filed by the
petitioners and the inadequate response from any respondent interested
party, the Department conducted expedited sunset reviews of these
orders pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C).
Scope of the Orders
The products covered by the orders are chlorinated isos, which are
derivatives of cyanuric acid, described as chlorinated s-triazine
triones. There are three primary chemical compositions of chlorinated
isos: (1) Trichloroisocyanuric acid (Cl3(NCO)3),
(2) sodium dichloroisocyanurate (dehydrate) (NaCl2
(NCO)3(2H2O), and (3) sodium dichloroisocyanurate
(anhydrous) (Nacl2(NCO)3). The orders cover all
chlorinated isos. A full description of the scope of the order is
contained in the Issues and Decision Memorandum for the Expedited
Sunset Reviews of the Antidumping Duty Orders on Chlorinated
Isocyanurates from Spain and the People's Republic of China.
Analysis of Comments Received
The issues discussed in the Decision Memorandum \3\ are the
likelihood of continuation or recurrence of dumping, and the magnitude
of the margins of dumping likely to prevail if these orders were
revoked. Parties can find a complete discussion of all issues raised in
this review and the corresponding recommendations in the Decision
Memorandum which is on file electronically via Enforcement and
Compliance's Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic
Service System (ACCESS). ACCESS is available to registered users at
http://access.trade.gov and is available to all parties in the Central
Records Unit in Room B8024 of the main Commerce building. In addition,
a complete version of the Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly
on the Internet at http://trade.gov/enforcement/. The signed Decision
Memorandum and electronic versions of the Decision Memorandum are
identical in content.

Final Results of Review
Pursuant to sections 752(c)(1) and (3) of the Act, we determine

dumping likely to prevail are as follows:
