EFFECTIVE DATE: September 14, 2007. SUMMARY: We preliminarily determine that sodium hexametaphosphate (‘‘SHMP’’) from the People’s Republic of China (‘‘PRC’’) is being, or is likely to be, sold in the United States at less than fair value (‘‘LTFV’’), as provided in section 733 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘the Act’’). The estimated margins of sales at less than fair value (‘‘LTFV’’) are shown in the ‘‘Preliminary Determination’’ section of this notice.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: rmajette on PROD1PC64 with NOTICES AGENCY: Initiation On February 8, 2007, the Department of Commerce (‘‘Department’’) received a petition on imports of SHMP from the PRC filed in proper form by ICL Performance Products, LP and Innophos, Inc. (‘‘Petitioners’’) on behalf of the domestic industry producing SHMP. This investigation was initiated on February 28, 2007. See Initiation of Antidumping Duty Investigation: Sodium Hexametaphosphate From the VerDate Aug<31>2005 15:44 Sep 13, 2007 Jkt 211001 People’s Republic of China, 72 FR 9926 (March 6, 2007) (‘‘Initiation Notice’’); see also Notice of Correction of Initiation of Antidumping Duty Investigation: Sodium Hexametaphosphate from the People’s Republic of China, 72 FR 11325 (March 13, 2007). Additionally, in the Initiation Notice, the Department notified parties of the application process by which exporters and producers may obtain separate–rate status in non–market economy (‘‘NME’’) investigations. The process requires exporters and producers to submit a separate–rate status application. See Policy Bulletin 05.1: Separate–Rates Practice and Application of Combination Rates in Antidumping Investigations involving Non–Market Economy Countries, (April 5, 2005), (‘‘Policy Bulletin 05.1’’) available at https://ia.ita.doc.gov. However, the standard for eligibility for a separate rate (which is whether a firm can demonstrate an absence of both de jure and de facto governmental control over its export activities) has not changed. On April 3, 2007, the United States International Trade Commission (‘‘ITC’’) issued its affirmative preliminary determination that there is a reasonable indication that an industry in the United States is materially injured or threatened with material injury by reason of imports from the PRC of SHMP. The ITC’s determination was published in the Federal Register on April 9, 2007. See Investigation No. 731–TA–1110 (Preliminary), Sodium Hexametaphosphate (SHMP) From China, 72 FR 17581 (April 9, 2007). Scope Comments The Department also set aside a 20– day period from the publication of the initiation for all interested parties to raise issues regarding product coverage. The Department did not receive any comments from interested parties regarding product coverage during the 20–day period and subsequently, did not change the scope in the Initiation Notice. 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 NaPO3 units. SHMP has a P2O5 content from 60 to 71 percent. Alternate names for SHMP include the following: Calgon; Calgon S; Glassy Sodium Phosphate; Sodium Polyphosphate, Glassy; PO 00000 Frm 00007 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 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. Quantity and Value On March 6, 2007, the Department requested quantity and value (‘‘Q&V’’) information from a total of 38 companies identified by Petitioners as potential producers or exporters of SHMP from the PRC. Also, on March 6, 2007, the Department sent a letter requesting Q&V information to the China Bureau of Fair Trade for Imports & Exports (‘‘BOFT’’) of the Ministry of Commerce (‘‘MOFCOM’’) requesting that BOFT transmit the letter to all companies who manufacture and export subject merchandise to the United States, or produce the subject merchandise for the companies who were engaged in exporting the subject merchandise to the United States during the POI. For a complete list of all parties from which the Department requested Q&V information, see Memorandum to James C. Doyle, Director, Office 9, AD/ CVD Operations, through Christopher D. Riker, Program Manager, Office 9, AD/ CVD Operations, from Erin Begnal, Senior International Trade Analyst, E:\FR\FM\14SEN1.SGM 14SEN1
