The Petition
On February 8, 2007, the Department
of Commerce (‘‘Department’’) received a
petition on imports of sodium
hexametaphosphate (‘‘SHMP’’) from the
People’s Republic of China (‘‘PRC’’)
filed in proper form by ICL Performance
Products, LP and Innophos, Inc.
(‘‘Petitioners’’). The period of
investigation (‘‘POI’’) is July 1, 2006,
through December 31, 2006.
In accordance with section 732(b) of
the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘the
Act’’), Petitioners alleged that imports of
SHMP from the PRC are being, or are

likely to be, sold in the United States at
less than fair value within the meaning
of section 731 of the Act, and that such
imports are materially injuring and
threaten to materially injure an industry
in the United States. The Department
issued supplemental questions to
Petitioners on February 12, 2007, and
February 21, 2007. Petitioners filed their
responses on February 16, 2007, and
February 23, 2007.
Scope of Investigation
The merchandise subject to this
investigation is Sodium
hexametaphosphate (‘‘SHMP’’). SHMP
is a water-soluble polyphosphate glass
that consists of a distribution of
polyphosphate chain lengths. It is a
collection of sodium polyphosphate
polymers built on repeating NaPO 3
units. SHMP has a P 2 O 5 content from
60 to 71 percent. Alternate names for
SHMP include the following: Calgon;
Calgon S; Glassy Sodium Phosphate;
Sodium Polyphosphate, Glassy;
Metaphosphoric Acid; Sodium Salt;
Sodium Acid Metaphosphate; Graham’s
Salt; Sodium Hex; Polyphosphoric Acid,
Sodium Salt; Glass H; Hexaphos;
Sodaphos; Vitrafos; and BAC-N-FOS.
SHMP is typically sold as a white
powder or granule (crushed) and may
also be sold in the form of sheets (glass)
or as a liquid solution. It is imported
under heading 2835.39.5000, HTSUS. It
may also be imported as a blend or
mixture under heading 3823.90.3900,
HTSUS. The American Chemical
Society, Chemical Abstract Service
(‘‘CAS’’) has assigned the name
‘‘Polyphosphoric Acid, Sodium Salt’’ to
SHMP. The CAS registry number is
68915–31–1. However, SHMP is
commonly identified by CAS No.
10124–56–8 in the market. For purposes
of the investigation, the narrative
description is dispositive, not the tariff
heading, CAS registry number or CAS
name.
The product covered by this
investigation includes SHMP in all
grades, whether food grade or technical
grade. The product covered by this
investigation includes SHMP without
regard to chain length i.e., whether
regular or long chain. The product
covered by this investigation includes
SHMP without regard to physical form,
whether glass, sheet, crushed, granule,
powder, fines, or other form.
However, the product covered by this
investigation does not include SHMP
when imported in a blend with other
materials in which the SHMP accounts
for less than 50 percent by volume of
the finished product.

Comments on Scope of Investigation
During our review of the petition, we
discussed the scope with Petitioners to
ensure that it accurately reflects the
product for which the domestic industry
is seeking relief. Moreover, as discussed
in the preamble to the Department’s
regulations, we are setting aside a
period for interested parties to raise
issues regarding product coverage. See
Antidumping Duties; Countervailing
Duties; Final Rule, 62 FR 27296, 27323
(May 19, 1997). The Department
encourages all interested parties to
submit such comments within 20
calendar days of publication of this
initiation notice. Comments should be
addressed to Import Administration’s
Central Records Unit in Room 1870,
U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th
Street and Constitution Avenue, NW.,
Washington, DC 20230. The period of
scope consultations is intended to
provide the Department with ample
opportunity to consider all comments
and consult with interested parties prior
to the issuance of the preliminary
determination.
Determination of Industry Support for
the Petition
Section 732(b)(1) of the Act requires
that a petition be filed by an interested
party described in subparagraph (C), (D),
(E), (F) or (G) of section 771(9) of the
Act, by or on behalf of the domestic
industry. In order to determine whether
a petition has been filed by or on behalf
of the domestic industry, the
Department, pursuant to section
732(c)(4)(A) of the Act, determines
whether a minimum percentage of the
relevant industry supports the petition.
A petition meets this requirement if the
domestic producers or workers who
support the petition account for: (i) At
least 25 percent of the total production
of the domestic like product; and (ii)
more than 50 percent of the production
of the domestic like product produced
by that portion of the industry
expressing support for, or opposition to,
the petition. Moreover, section
732(c)(4)(D) of the Act provides that, if
the petition does not establish support
of domestic producers or workers
accounting for more than 50 percent of
the total production of the domestic like
product, the Department shall: (i) Poll
the industry or rely on other
information in order to determine if
there is support for the petition, as
required by subparagraph (A), or (ii) if
there is a large number of producers in
the industry the Department may
determine industry support using a
statistically valid sampling method.

Analysis of Comments Received
The issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs by parties to
this administrative review are addressed in the Issues and Decisions
Memorandum for the Final Results of the Administrative Review of the
Antidumping Duty Order on Oil Country Tubular Goods (``OCTG'') from
Korea, February 27, 2007 (Issues and Decisions Memorandum), which is
hereby adopted by this notice. The Issues and Decisions Memorandum is
on file in the Central Records Unit (CRU), room B-099 of the Department
of Commerce main building and can be accessed directly at https://
ia.ita.doc.gov/frn. The paper copy and electronic version of the Issues
and Decisions Memorandum are identical in content. A list of the issues
addressed in the Issues and Decisions Memorandum is appended to this
notice.
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on our analysis of the comments received, we have made
changes in the calculations for the final dumping margin. The changes
are discussed in detail in the Issues and Decisions Memorandum and in
the Memorandum from Dara Iserson, Case Analyst, to the File: Analysis
of Husteel Corporation (``Husteel'') for the Final Results of the
Administrative Review of Oil Country Tubular Goods, Other Than Drill
Pipe from Korea, and Memorandum from Nicholas Czajkowski, Case Analyst,
to the File: Analysis of SeaH Steel Corporation (``SeAH'') for the
Final Results of the Administrative Review of Oil Country Tubular
Goods, Other Than Drill Pipe from Korea, dated February 27, 2007, on
file in the CRU.
Final Results of Review
As a result of our review, we determine that the following
weighted-average margins exist for the period August 1, 2004, through
July 31, 2005:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Manufacturer/Exporter Margin (percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
SeAH Steel Corporation.............................. 4.73
Husteel Co., Ltd.................................... 0.39 (de minimis)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Assessment Rates
The Department will determine, and U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries, pursuant to section 751(a)(1)(B) of the Act, and 19 CFR
351.212(b). The Department calculated importer- specific duty
assessment rates (or, when the importer was unknown by the respondent,
customer-specific duty assessment rates) on the basis of the ratio of
the total amount of antidumping duties calculated for the examined
sales observations involving each importer to the total entered value
of the examined sales observations for that importer. The Department
intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP 15 days after the date
of publication of these final results of review.
The Department clarified its ``automatic assessment'' regulation on
May 6, 2003. This clarification will apply to entries of subject
merchandise during the POR produced by companies included in these
final results of review for which the reviewed companies did not know
their merchandise was destined for the United States. In such
instances, we will instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed entries at the
``All Others'' rate if there is no rate for the intermediate
company(ies) involved in the transaction. For a discussion of this
clarification, see Notice of Policy Concerning Assessment of
Antidumping Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following antidumping duty cash deposit rates will be effective
upon publication of the final results of this administrative review for
all shipments of OCTG from Korea entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the publication date of the final results,
as provided for by section 751(a)(1) of the Act: (1) for SeAH, the cash
deposit rate will be the rate shown above, (2) since the dumping margin
for Husteel is de minimis (less than 0.50 percent), no cash deposit
will be required for Husteel, 3) for previously reviewed or
investigated companies not listed above, the cash deposit rate will be
the company-specific rate established for the most recent period, (4)
if the exporter is not a firm covered in this review, a prior review,
or the less-than-fair-value (LTFV) investigation, but the manufacturer
is, the cash deposit rate will be the rate established for the most
recent period for the manufacturer of the subject merchandise, and (5)
if neither the exporter nor the manufacturer is a firm covered by this
review, a prior review, or the LTFV investigation, the cash deposit
rate shall be the all others rate established in the LTFV
investigation, which is 12.17 percent. See Final Determination of Sales
at Less Than Fair Value: Oil Country Tubular Goods from Korea, 60 FR
33561 (June 28, 1995). These deposit rates, when imposed, shall remain
in effect until publication of the final results of the next
administrative review.
Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a final reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation
of the relevant entries during this review period. Failure to comply
with this requirement could result in the Secretary's presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of doubled antidumping duties.
Notification Regarding APOs
This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective orders (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a). Timely written notification
of the return/destruction of APO materials or conversion to judicial
protective order is hereby requested. Failure to comply with the
regulations and terms of an APO is a sanctionable violation.
These final results of administrative review and this notice are
issued and published in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and
777(i)(1) of the Act.
