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entered, or withdrawn from the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withdrawn from warehouse, for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:

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)
(NaCl2(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.
E:\FR\FM\24JNN1.SGM

Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 121 / Friday, June 24, 2005 / Notices
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. In the
Final Determination, the Department
found that Arch’s patented chlorinated
isocyanurates tablet is included within
the scope of this antidumping duty
investigation. See Memorandum from
Holly A. Kuga, Senior Office Director, to
Barbara E. Tillman, Acting Deputy
Assistant Secretary for Import
Administration, ‘‘Scope of the
Antidumping Duty Investigations of
Chlorinated Isocyanurates from the
People’s Republic of China and Spain,’’
dated December 10, 2004, adopted
without comment in the Final
Determination.
Antidumping Duty Order
On June 17, 2005, in accordance with
section 735(d) of the Tariff Act of 1930,
as amended (‘‘the Act’’), the ITC notified
the Department of its final
determination pursuant to section
735(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Act that an
industry in the United States is
materially injured by reason of less–
than-fair–value imports of chlorinated
isocyanurates from Spain. 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 instruction by
the Department, antidumping duties
equal to the amount by which the
normal value of the merchandise
exceeds the export price (or the
constructed export price) of the
merchandise for all relevant entries of
chlorinated isocyanurates from Spain.
These antidumping duties will be
assessed on all entries of chlorinated
isocyanurates from Spain entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after December 20,
2004, the date on which the Department
published its notice of preliminary

Spain: Notice of Preliminary
Determination of Sales at Less Than
Fair Value and Postponement of Final
Determination, 69 FR 75902 (December
20, 2004) (‘‘Preliminary
Determination’’).
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
the Spanish exports of subject
merchandise, we extended the fourmonth period to no more than six
months. See Preliminary Determination.
In the investigation, the six-month
period beginning on the date of the
publication of the Preliminary
Determination ended on June 17, 2005.
Furthermore, section 737 of the Act
states that definitive duties are to begin
on the date of publication of the ITC’s
final injury determination. 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 Spain entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after June 18, 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 the
date of the publication of the ITC’s final
injury determination.
Effective on the date of publication of
the ITC’s final affirmative injury
determination, CBP officers must
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 as noted below. The all others’
rate applies to all manufacturers and
exporters of subject merchandise not
specifically listed. The weighted–
average dumping margins are as follows:

SUMMARY: Based on affirmative final determinations by the Department of
Commerce (``the Department'') and the U.S. International Trade
Commission (``the ITC''), the Department is issuing an antidumping duty
order on chlorinated isocyanurates from Spain. On June 17, 2005, the
ITC notified the Department of its affirmative determination of injury
to a U.S. industry (Chlorinated Isocyanurates from the People's
Republic of China and Spain, Investigations Nos. 731-TA-1082 and 1083
(Final), Publication 3782 (June 2005)).

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)

(NaCl2(NCO)3). Chlorinated isocyanurates are available in powder,
granular, and tableted forms. This order covers all chlorinated
isocyanurates.
[[Page 36563]]
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. In the Final
Determination, the Department found that Arch's patented chlorinated
isocyanurates tablet is included within the scope of this antidumping
duty investigation. See Memorandum from Holly A. Kuga, Senior Office
Director, to Barbara E. Tillman, Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for
Import Administration, ``Scope of the Antidumping Duty Investigations
of Chlorinated Isocyanurates from the People's Republic of China and
Spain,'' dated December 10, 2004, adopted without comment in the Final
Determination.
Antidumping Duty Order
On June 17, 2005, in accordance with section 735(d) of the Tariff
Act of 1930, as amended (``the Act''), the ITC notified the Department
of its final determination pursuant to section 735(b)(1)(A)(i) of the
Act that an industry in the United States is materially injured by
reason of less-than-fair-value imports of chlorinated isocyanurates
from Spain. 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 instruction by the Department, antidumping
duties equal to the amount by which the normal value of the merchandise
exceeds the export price (or the constructed export price) of the
merchandise for all relevant entries of chlorinated isocyanurates from
Spain. These antidumping duties will be assessed on all entries of
chlorinated isocyanurates from Spain entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after December 20, 2004, the date on
which the Department published its notice of preliminary determination
in the Federal Register. See Chlorinated Isocyanurates From Spain:
Notice of Preliminary Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value
and Postponement of Final Determination, 69 FR 75902 (December 20,
2004) (``Preliminary Determination'').
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 the Spanish exports of subject merchandise, we extended
the four-month period to no more than six months. See Preliminary
Determination. In the investigation, the six-month period beginning on
the date of the publication of the Preliminary Determination ended on
June 17, 2005. Furthermore, section 737 of the Act states that
definitive duties are to begin on the date of publication of the ITC's
final injury determination. 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 Spain entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or
after June 18, 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 the date of the publication of
the ITC's final injury determination.
Effective on the date of publication of the ITC's final affirmative
injury determination, CBP officers must 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 as noted below. The all others' rate applies to all
manufacturers and exporters of subject merchandise not specifically
listed. The weighted-average dumping margins are as follows:
