SUMMARY: Based on affirmative final determinations by the Department of Commerce (the ‘‘Department’’) and the International Trade Commission (‘‘ITC’’), the Department is issuing an antidumping duty order on sodium hexametaphosphate (‘‘SHMP’’) from the People’s Republic of China (‘‘PRC’’). On March 12, 2008, the ITC notified the Department of its affirmative jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES AGENCY: 1 Because 240 days from September 21, 2007, falls on May 18, 2008, which is a Sunday, the deadline for completing the preliminary results of this new shipper review shall be the next business day, May 19, 2008.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background In accordance with sections 735(d) and 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the ‘‘Act’’), on February 4, 2008, the Department published the Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value: Sodium Hexametaphosphate From the People’s Republic of China, 73 FR 6479 (February 4, 2008) (‘‘Final Determination’’). Scope of Order 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; 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 3824.90.3900, 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. PO 00000 Frm 00004 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 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, and whether or not in solution. 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. Antidumping Duty Order On March 12, 2008, in accordance with section 735(d) of 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 subject merchandise from the PRC. 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 constructed export price) of the merchandise for all relevant entries of SHMP from the PRC. These antidumping duties will be assessed on all unliquidated entries of SHMP from the PRC entered, or withdrawn from the warehouse, for consumption on or after September 14, 2007, the date on which the Department published its preliminary determination. See Preliminary Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value: Sodium Hexametaphosphate from the People’s Republic of China, 72 FR 52544 (September 14, 2007) (‘‘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 SHMP, we extended the four–month period to no more than six months.

Department must issue supplemental questionnaires to obtain additional

consumption rates of factors of production, and (2) the bona fides of 
its U.S. sale. Accordingly, the Department finds that additional time

shipper review by an additional 60 days, to 240 days from September 21, 
2007, the date of initiation, until no later than May 19, 2008.\1\ The

May 19, 2008.
