Sodium Hexametaphosphate From the
People’s Republic of China:
Continuation of Antidumping Duty
Order
Import Administration,
International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: As a result of the
determinations by the Department of
Commerce (the ‘‘Department’’) and the
International Trade Commission (the
‘‘ITC’’) that revocation of the
antidumping duty order on sodium
hexametaphosphate (‘‘sodium hex’’)
from the People’s Republic of China
(‘‘PRC’’) would likely lead to a
continuation or recurrence of dumping
and material injury to an industry in the
United States, the Department is
publishing a notice of continuation of
the antidumping duty order.
DATES: Effective Date: July 17, 2013.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Paul
Walker, AD/CVD Operations, Office 9,
Import Administration, International
Trade Administration, U.S. Department
of Commerce, 14th Street and
Constitution Avenue NW., Washington,
DC 20230; telephone: 202.482.0413.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
AGENCY:
Background
On February 1, 2013, the Department
initiated a sunset review of the
antidumping duty order on sodium hex
from the PRC, pursuant to section 751(c)
of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended
(the ‘‘Act’’).1 As a result of its review,

FR 7400 (February 1, 2013).
PO 00000

Sfmt 4703
the Department determined that
revocation of the antidumping duty
order on sodium hex from the PRC
would likely lead to a continuation or
recurrence of dumping and, therefore,
notified the ITC of the magnitude of the
margins likely to prevail should the
order be revoked.2 On July 5, 2013, the
ITC published its determination,
pursuant to section 751(c) of the Act,
that revocation of the antidumping duty
order on sodium hex from the PRC
would likely lead to a continuation or
recurrence of material injury to an
industry in the United States within a
reasonably foreseeable time.3
Scope of the Order
The merchandise subject to the order
is sodium hexametaphosphate. Sodium
hexametaphosphate 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. Sodium
hexametaphosphate has a P2O5 content
from 60 to 71 percent. Alternate names
for sodium hexametaphosphate 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. Sodium
hexametaphosphate 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, Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States
(‘‘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
sodium hexametaphosphate. The CAS
registry number is 68915–31–1.
However, sodium hexametaphosphate is
commonly identified by CAS No.
10124–56–8 in the market. For purposes
of the order, the narrative description is
dispositive, not the tariff heading, CAS
registry number or CAS name.
The product covered by the order
includes sodium hexametaphosphate in
