SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce
(‘‘the Department’’) is conducting an
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on chlorinated
isocyanurates from the People’s
Republic of China (‘‘PRC’’) covering the
period June 1, 2007, through May 31,
2008. We invited interested parties to
comment on our preliminary results.
Based on our analysis of the comments
received, we have made changes to our
margin calculations. Therefore, the final
results differ from the preliminary
results.

Administrative Review, 74 FR 27104
(June 8, 2009) (‘‘Preliminary Results’’).
On June 29, 2009, Clearon Corporation
(‘‘Clearon’’) and Occidental Chemical
Corporation (‘‘Petitioners’’), Petitioners
in the underlying investigation, and
Hebei Jiheng Chemical Corporation, Ltd.
(‘‘Jiheng’’) provided additional
information on the appropriate
surrogate values to use as a means of
valuing the factors of production. On
July 8, 2009, the Department received a
request for a hearing from Petitioners.
On July 13, 2009, the Department
received a case brief from Petitioners.
On July 20, 2009, the Department
received a rebuttal brief from Jiheng. On
July 27, 2009, Petitioners withdrew their
request for a public hearing. On October
30, 2009, the Department placed
additional surrogate value information
on the record of this review for steam
coal. On November 3, 2009, the
Department received comments from
Jiheng on the additional surrogate value
information. We have conducted this
administrative review in accordance
with section 751 of the Tariff act of
1930, as amended (‘‘the Act’’), and 19
CFR 351.213.
Scope of the Order
The products covered by this order
are chlorinated isocyanurates, as
described below: 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.
Chlorinated isocyanurates are
currently classifiable under subheadings
2933.69.6015, 2933.69.6021,
2933.69.6050, 3808.40.50, 3808.50.40
and 3808.94.50.00 of the Harmonized
Tariff Schedule of the United States
(‘‘HTSUS’’). The tariff classification
2933.69.6015 covers sodium
dichloroisocyanurates (anhydrous and
dehydrate 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

from both the 2004 and 2007 Coal India
Ltd. publications. See Issues and
Decision Memorandum at Comment 2

We revised the financial ratio
calculations using financial statements
from Kanoria Chemicals and Industries
Limited for the year ended March 31,
2008. See Issues and Decision

average rates of electricity supply in
India. See Attachment 6B of Jiheng’s
June 29, 2009, Surrogate Value
Submission and the Final Surrogate
Value Memorandum.

The Department intends to issue
assessment instructions to U.S. Customs
and Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’) 15 days

final results of review. In accordance
with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), we have

merchandise exported by Jiheng, the
cash deposit rate will be 20.16 percent;
(2) for previously reviewed or
investigated exporters not listed above
that have separate rates, the cash
deposit rate will continue to be the
exporter–specific rate published for the
most recent period; (3) for all PRC
exporters of subject merchandise, which
have not been found to be entitled to a
separate rate, the cash deposit rate will
be the PRC–wide rate of 285.63 percent;
and (4) for all non–PRC exporters of
subject merchandise that have not
received their own rate, the cash deposit
rate will be the rate applicable to the

Notification of Interested Parties
This notice also 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 the antidumping
duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping
duties. This notice also serves as a
reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective orders
(‘‘APOs’’) of their responsibility
concerning the return or destruction of
proprietary information disclosed under
APO in accordance with 19 CFR
351.305, which continues to govern
business proprietary information in this
segment of the proceeding. 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 violation that is subject to
sanction.
We are issuing and publishing these
final results of review and notice in
accordance with sections 751(a) and
777(i) of the Act.
