Chlorinated Isocyanurates From the
People’s Republic of China: Initiation
of New Shipper Review
Import Administration,
International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce
(the Department) has received a timely
request for a new shipper review of the
antidumping duty order on chlorinated
isocyanurates (chlorinated isos) from
the People’s Republic of China (PRC).
The Department determines that the
request is sufficient to meet the
statutory and regulatory requirements
for initiation. The period of review for
the new shipper review is June 1, 2011,
through February 29, 2012.
DATES: Effective Date: January 31, 2012.

AGENCY:
Background
The antidumping duty order on
chlorinated isos from the PRC was
published on June 24, 2005. See Notice
of Antidumping Duty Order:
Chlorinated Isocyanurates from the
People’s Republic of China, 70 FR 36561
(June 24, 2005). On December 30, 2011,
the Department received a timely
request for a new shipper review from
Puyang Cleanway Chemicals Ltd.
(Puyang Cleanway) in accordance with
19 CFR 351.214(c) and 19 CFR
351.214(d).
Pursuant to the requirements set forth
in 19 CFR 351.214(b)(2), in its request
for a new shipper review, Puyang
Cleanway certified that: (1) It did not
export chlorinated isos to the United
States during the period of investigation
(POI); (2) since the initiation of the
investigation, it has never been affiliated
with any company that exported subject
merchandise to the United States during
the POI, including any exporter or
VerDate Mar<15>2010
17:27 Feb 03, 2012
Jkt 226001
producer not individually examined
during the investigation; and (3) its
export activities are not controlled by
the central government of the PRC. In
accordance with 19 CFR
351.214(b)(2)(iv), Puyang Cleanway
submitted documentation establishing
the following: (1) The date on which it
first shipped chlorinated isos for export
to the United States and the date on
which chlorinated isos was first entered,
or withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption; (2) the volume of the first
shipment; (3) the date of the first sale to
an unaffiliated customer in the United
States; and (4) the volume of subsequent
shipments of chlorinated isos.
Period of Review
Usually, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.214(g)(1)(i)(B), the period of review
(POR) for new shipper reviews initiated
in the month immediately following the
semi-annual anniversary month will be
the six-month period immediately
preceding the semiannual anniversary
month (in this instance, June 1, 2011,
through November 30, 2011). Puyang
Cleanway’s first sale of subject
merchandise was sold two months
before, and entered one month before,
the POR specified by the Department’s
regulations for a semi-annual new
shipper review. Puyang Cleanway’s
request for a new shipper review was
within one year of this first sale, making
its request timely under 19 CFR
351.214(c). Its second sale, which took
place during the POR, had not yet
entered as of the issuance of this notice.
The Department has in the past
extended a POR forward to capture
entries for sales made during the POR
that had not yet entered during the POR
specified by the Department’s
regulations.1 Therefore, consistent with
19 CFR.214(f)(2)(ii), the Department is
extending the POR for the new shipper
review forward by the time necessary
for Puyang Cleanway to enter the
second sale, but not past February 29,
2012. If the second sale has not yet
entered by February 29, 2012, the
Department intends to rescind this new
shipper review.
Initiation of New Shipper Review
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(B) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act),
and 19 CFR 351.214(b), we find that the
request submitted by Puyang Cleanway
meets the threshold requirements for
initiation of a new shipper review for
shipments of chlorinated isos from the
PRC. See Memorandum to the File
1 See, e.g., Chlorinated Isocyanurates From the
People’s Republic of China: Initiation of New
Shipper Review, 76 FR 6399 (February 4, 2011).

AD/CVD Operations, Office 6,
‘‘Initiation of Antidumping New
Shipper Review: Chlorinated
Isocyanurates from the People’s
Republic of China (A–570–898),’’ dated
concurrently with this notice.
The Department will conduct the
review according to the deadlines set
forth in section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.214(i). It is the
Department’s practice, in cases
involving non-market economies, to
require that a company seeking to
establish eligibility for an antidumping
duty rate separate from the countrywide rate provide evidence of de jure
and de facto absence of government
control over the company’s export
activities. Accordingly, we will issue a
questionnaire to Puyang Cleanway,
which will include a separate rate
section. The review will proceed if the
response provides sufficient indication
that Puyang Cleanway is not subject to
either de jure or de facto government
control with respect to the export of
chlorinated isos. We will instruct U.S.
Customs and Border Protection to allow,
at the option of the importer, the
posting, until the completion of the
review, of a bond or security in lieu of
a cash deposit for each entry of the
subject merchandise from Puyang
Cleanway in accordance with section
751(a)(2)(B)(iii) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.214(e).
Interested parties requiring access to
proprietary information in this new
shipper review should submit
applications for disclosure under
administrative protective order in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.305 and
351.306.
This initiation and notice are in
accordance with section 751(a)(2)(B) of
the Act and 19 CFR 351.214 and
351.221(c)(1)(i).

public and other Federal agencies to
take this opportunity to comment on
proposed and/or continuing information
collections, as required by the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.
DATES: Written comments must be

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
I. Abstract
This request is for extension of a
current information collection.
The Marine Mammal Protection Act
requires any commercial fisher
operating in Category I and II fisheries
to register for a certificate of
authorization that will allow the fisher
to take marine mammals incidental to
commercial fishing operations. Category
I and II fisheries are those identified by
NOAA as having either frequent or
occasional takings of marine mammals.
Some states have integrated the
National Marine Fisheries Service
(NMFS) registration process into the
existing state fishery registration process
and fishers in those fisheries do not
need to file a separate federal
registration. If applicable, vessel owners
will be notified of this simplified
registration process when they apply for
their state or Federal permit or license.

Council’s Habitat Committee to
recommend management measures for
further development and analysis in
Omnibus Essential Fish Habitat
Amendment 2. Two types of measures
will be considered at the meeting: (1)
options to minimize the adverse effects
of fishing on Essential Fish Habitat and
(2) alternatives to protect deep-sea
corals from the impacts of fishing.
Note that this meeting was originally
planned for January 25, 2012 as the
second day of a 2-day meeting, but was
cancelled due to scheduling conflicts.
However, the management measures
listed above were discussed by the
Habitat Committee and its Advisory
Panel during day one of that meeting,
which was held as planned on January
24. The outcomes of those discussions
will be considered at this meeting, along
with any additional analyses and
recommendations prepared by the
Habitat Plan Development Team.
Although non-emergency issues not
contained in this agenda may come
before this group for discussion, those
issues may not be the subject of formal
action during this meeting. Action will
be restricted to those issues specifically
listed in this notice and any issues
arising after publication of this notice
that require emergency action under
section 305(c) of the Magnuson-Stevens
Act, provided the public has been
notified of the Council’s intent to take
final action to address the emergency.
