See Notice of Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value: Chlorinated Isocyanurates From the People’s Republic of China, 70 FR 24502 (May 10, 2005) (‘‘Final Determination’’). Scope of the Order The products covered by this order are chlorinated isocyanurates. Chlorinated isocyanurates are derivatives of cyanuric acid, described as chlorinated s–triazine triones. There are three primary chemical compositions of chlorinated isocyanurates: (1) trichloroisocyanuric acid (Cl3(NCO)3), (2) sodium dichloroisocyanurate (dihydrate) (NaClf2(NCO)3∑2H2O), and (3) sodium dichloroisocyanurate (anhydrous) (NaCl2(NCO)3). Chlorinated isocyanurates are available in powder, granular, and tableted forms. This order covers all chlorinated isocyanurates. Chlorinated isocyanurates are currently classifiable under subheadings 2933.69.6015, 2933.69.6021, and 2933.69.6050 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (‘‘HTSUS’’). The tariff classification 2933.69.6015 covers sodium dichloroisocyanurates (anhydrous and dihydrate forms) and trichloroisocyanuric acid. The tariff classifications 2933.69.6021 and 2933.69.6050 represent basket categories that include chlorinated isocyanurates and other compounds including an unfused triazine ring. Although the HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and customs purposes, the written description of the scope of this order is dispositive. On July 1, 2004, Arch Chemicals, Inc. (‘‘Arch’’), an importer, argued that its patented, formulated, chlorinated isocyanurates tablet is not covered by the scope of the investigation. On December 10, 2004, the Department found that Arch’s patented chlorinated isocyanurates tablet is included within the scope of this antidumping duty investigation. See Memorandum to Barbara E.

Antidumping Duty Order On June 17, 2005, the ITC notified the Department of its final determination pursuant to section 735(b)(1)(A)(I) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘the Act’’), that the industry in the United States producing chlorinated isocyanurates is materially injured by reason of less–than-fair–value imports of subject merchandise from the PRC. In addition, the ITC notified the Department of its final determination that critical circumstances do not exist with respect to imports of subject merchandise from the PRC that are subject to the Department’s partial affirmative critical circumstances finding. Therefore, in accordance with section 736(a)(1) of the Act, the Department will direct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’) to assess, upon further advice by the Department, antidumping duties equal to the amount by which the normal value of the merchandise exceeds the export price of the merchandise for all relevant entries of chlorinated isocyanurates from the PRC. These antidumping duties will be assessed on all unliquidated entries of chlorinated isocyanurates from the PRC entered, or withdrawn from the warehouse, for consumption on or after December 16, 2004, the date on which the Department published its Preliminary Determination. See Notice of Preliminary Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value and Postponement of Final Determination: Chlorinated Isocyanurates From the People’s Republic of China, 69 FR 75293 (December 16, 2004) (‘‘Preliminary Determination’’). With regard to the ITC negative critical circumstances determination, we will instruct CBP to lift suspension and to release any bond or other security, and refund any cash deposit made, to secure the payment of antidumping duties with respect to entries of the merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after September 17, 2004, but before December 16, 2004. September 17, 2004, is 90 days prior to December 16, 2004, the date of publication of the Preliminary Determination in the Federal Register.

At the request of exporters that account for a significant proportion of chlorinated isocyanurates, we extended the four-month period to no more than six months. See Preliminary Determination. In the investigation, the six-month period began on the date of the publication of the Preliminary Determination, December 16, 2004, and ended on June 13, 2005. Definitive duties are to begin on the date of publication of the ITC’s final injury determination. See section 737 of the Act. Therefore, in accordance with section 733(d) of the Act and our practice, we will instruct CBP to terminate the suspension of liquidation and to liquidate, without regard to antidumping duties, unliquidated entries of chlorinated isocyanurates from the PRC entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after June 14, 2005, and before the date of publication of the ITC’s final injury determination in the Federal Register. Suspension of liquidation will continue on or after this date. On or after the date of publication of the ITC’s notice of final affirmative injury determination in the Federal Register, CBP will require, at the same time as importers would normally deposit estimated duties on this merchandise, a cash deposit equal to the estimated weighted–average antidumping duty margins noted below. The ‘‘PRC–Wide’’ rates apply to all exporters of subject merchandise not specifically listed.

Scope of the Order

    The products covered by this order are chlorinated isocyanurates. 
Chlorinated isocyanurates are derivatives of cyanuric acid, described

Antidumping Duty Order

    On June 17, 2005, the ITC notified the Department of its final 
determination pursuant to section 735(b)(1)(A)(I) of the Tariff Act of 
1930, as amended (``the Act''), that the industry in the United States 
producing chlorinated isocyanurates is materially injured by reason of 
less-than-fair-value imports of subject merchandise from the PRC. In 
addition, the ITC notified the Department of its final determination 
that critical circumstances do not exist with respect to imports of 
subject merchandise from the PRC that are subject to the Department's 
partial affirmative critical circumstances finding. Therefore, in 
accordance with section 736(a)(1) of the Act, the Department will 
direct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (``CBP'') to assess, upon 
further advice by the Department, antidumping duties equal to the 
amount by which the normal value of the merchandise exceeds the export 
price of the merchandise for all relevant entries of chlorinated 
isocyanurates from the PRC. These antidumping duties will be assessed 
on all unliquidated entries of chlorinated isocyanurates from the PRC 
entered, or withdrawn from the warehouse, for consumption on or after 
December 16, 2004, the date on which the Department published its 
Preliminary Determination. See Notice of Preliminary Determination of 
Sales at Less Than Fair Value and Postponement of Final Determination: 
Chlorinated Isocyanurates From the People's Republic of China, 69 FR 
75293 (December 16, 2004) (``Preliminary Determination'').
    With regard to the ITC negative critical circumstances 
determination, we will instruct CBP to lift suspension and to release 
any bond or other security, and refund any cash deposit made, to secure 
the payment of antidumping duties with respect to entries of the 
merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or 
after September 17, 2004, but before December 16, 2004. September 17, 
2004, is 90 days prior to December 16, 2004, the date of publication of 
the Preliminary Determination in the Federal Register.
    Section 733(d) of the Act states that instructions issued pursuant 
to an affirmative preliminary determination may not remain in effect 
for more than four months except where exporters representing a 
significant proportion of exports of the subject merchandise request 
the Department to extend that four-month period to no more than six 
months. At the request of exporters that account for a significant 
proportion of chlorinated isocyanurates, we extended the four-month 
period to no more than six months. See Preliminary Determination. In 
the investigation, the six-month period began on the date of the 
publication of the Preliminary Determination, December 16, 2004, and 
ended on June 13, 2005. Definitive duties are to begin on the date of 
publication of the ITC's final injury determination. See section 737 of 
the Act. Therefore, in accordance with section 733(d) of the Act and 
our practice, we will instruct CBP to terminate the suspension of 
liquidation and to liquidate, without regard to antidumping duties, 
unliquidated entries of chlorinated isocyanurates from the PRC entered, 
or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after June 14, 2005, 
and before the date of publication of the ITC's final injury 
determination in the Federal Register. Suspension of liquidation will 
continue on or after this date.
    On or after the date of publication of the ITC's notice of final 
affirmative injury determination in the Federal Register, CBP will 
require, at the same time as importers would normally deposit estimated 
duties on this merchandise, a cash deposit equal to the estimated 
weighted-average antidumping duty margins noted below. The ``PRC-Wide'' 
rates apply to all exporters of subject merchandise not specifically 
listed. The weighted-average dumping margins are as follows:
