Scope of the Investigation
The product covered by this investigation
is calcium hypochlorite, regardless of form
(e.g., powder, tablet (compressed), crystalline
(granular), or in liquid solution), whether or
not blended with other materials, containing
at least 10% available chlorine measured by
actual weight. The scope also includes
bleaching powder and hemibasic calcium
hypochlorite.
Calcium hypochlorite has the general
chemical formulation Ca(OCl)2, but may also
be sold in a more dilute form as bleaching
powder with the chemical formulation,
Ca(OCl)2.CaCl2.Ca(OH)2.2H2O or hemibasic
calcium hypochlorite with the chemical
formula of 2Ca(OCl)2.Ca(OH)2 or
Ca(OCl)2.0.5Ca(OH)2. Calcium hypochlorite
has a Chemical Abstract Service (‘‘CAS’’)
registry number of 7778–54–3, and a U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (‘‘EPA)
Pesticide Code (‘‘PC’’) Number of 014701.
The subject calcium hypochlorite has an
International Maritime Dangerous Goods
(‘‘IMDG’’) code of Class 5.1 UN 1748, 2880,
or 2208 or Class 5.1/8 UN 3485, 3486, or

Calcium hypochlorite is currently
classifiable under the subheading
2828.10.0000 of the Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (‘‘HTSUS’’).
The subheading covers commercial calcium
hypochlorite and other calcium hypochlorite.
When tableted or blended with other
materials, calcium hypochlorite may be
entered under other tariff classifications,
such as 3808.94.5000 and 3808.99.9500,
which cover disinfectants and similar
products. While the HTSUS subheadings, the
CAS registry number, the U.S. EPA PC
number, and the IMDG codes are provided

Therefore, all deadlines in this segment
of the proceeding have been extended
by 16 days.

Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in this review are
addressed in the Issues and Decision
Memorandum. The issues discussed in
the Issues and Decision Memorandum
include the likelihood of continuation
or recurrence of dumping and the
magnitude of the margins likely to
prevail if the order were revoked.

of these issues and the corresponding
recommendations in this public
document, which is on file
electronically via IA ACCESS. IA

The signed Issues and Decision
Memorandum and the electronic
versions of the Issues and Decision
Memorandum are identical in content.
Final Results of Sunset Review

The Petition
On December 18, 2013, the
Department of Commerce (the
‘‘Department’’) received a
countervailing duty (‘‘CVD’’) petition
concerning imports of calcium
hypochlorite from the People’s Republic
of China (‘‘PRC’’), filed in proper form
by Arch Chemicals, Inc. (‘‘Petitioner’’),
a domestic producer of calcium
hypochlorite.1 The CVD Petition was
accompanied by an antidumping duty
(‘‘AD’’) petition concerning imports of
calcium hypochlorite from the PRC. On
December 19, 2013, and December 24,
2013, the Department requested
additional information and clarification
of certain areas of the Petition, and on
December 23, 2013, and December 30,
2013, Petitioner filed a response to each
request.2
1 See
‘‘Petition for the Imposition of Antidumping
and Countervailing Duties on Calcium Hypochlorite
from the People’s Republic of China, dated
December 18, 2013 (hereafter referred to as the
‘‘Petition’’).

of China: Response to Supplemental Questions’’;
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 232001
In accordance with section 702(b)(1)
of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended
(the ‘‘Act’’), Petitioner alleges that
producers/exporters of calcium
hypochlorite in the PRC received
countervailable subsidies within the
meaning of sections 701 and 771(5) of
the Act, and that imports from these
producers/exporters materially injure,
or threaten material injury to, an
industry in the United States.
The Department finds that Petitioner
filed this Petition on behalf of the
domestic industry because it is an
interested party as defined in section
771(9)(C) of the Act. The Department
also finds that Petitioner has
demonstrated sufficient industry
support with respect to the initiation of
the CVD investigation that Petitioner is
requesting.3
Period of Investigation
The period of investigation (‘‘POI’’) is
January 1, 2012 through December 31,
2012, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.204(b)(2).
Scope of the Investigation
The product covered by this
investigation is calcium hypochlorite
from the PRC. For a full description of
the scope of the investigation, please see
the ‘‘Scope of Investigation’’ in the
appendix to this notice.
Comments on the Scope of the
Investigation
During our review of the Petition, we
solicited information from Petitioner to
ensure that the proposed scope language
is an accurate reflection of the products
for which the domestic industry is
seeking relief. Moreover, as discussed in
the preamble to the Department’s
regulations 4, we are setting aside a
period for interested parties to raise
issues regarding product coverage. The
Department encourages all interested
parties to submit such comments by
January 27, 2014, which is 20 calendar
days from the signature date of this
notice. All comments must be filed on
the record of the CVD investigation, as
well as the concurrent AD investigation.
Filing Requirements
All submissions to the Department
must be filed electronically using

Determination of Industry Support for
the Petition
Section 702(b)(1) of the Act requires
that a petition be filed on behalf of the
domestic industry. Section 702(c)(4)(A)
of the Act provides that a petition meets
this requirement if the domestic
producers or workers who support the
petition account for: (i) At least 25
percent of the total production of the
domestic like product; and (ii) more
than 50 percent of the production of the
domestic like product produced by that
portion of the industry expressing
support for, or opposition to, the
petition. Moreover, section 702(c)(4)(D)
of the Act provides that, if the petition
does not establish support of domestic
producers or workers accounting for
more than 50 percent of the total
production of the domestic like product,
the Department shall: (i) Poll the
industry or rely on other information in
order to determine if there is support for
the petition, as required by
subparagraph (A); or (ii) determine
industry support using a statistically
valid sampling method to poll the
industry.
Section 771(4)(A) of the Act defines
the ‘‘industry’’ as the producers as a
whole of a domestic like product. Thus,
to determine whether a petition has the
5 19 CFR 351.303(b)(1). Information on help using
