An application has been submitted to
the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) Board by
the Port of Corpus Christi, Authority,
grantee of FTZ 122, requesting authority
to reorganize the zone to expand its
service area under the alternative site
framework (ASF) adopted by the FTZ
Board (15 CFR 400.2(c)). The ASF is an
option for grantees for the establishment
or reorganization of zones and can
permit significantly greater flexibility in
the designation of new subzones or
‘‘usage-driven’’ FTZ sites for operators/
users located within a grantee’s ‘‘service
area’’ in the context of the FTZ Board’s
standard 2,000-acre activation limit for
a zone. The application was submitted
pursuant to the Foreign-Trade Zones
Act, as amended (19 U.S.C. 81a–81u),
and the regulations of the FTZ Board (15
CFR part 400). It was formally docketed
on July 18, 2014.
FTZ 122 was approved by the FTZ
Board on September 5, 1985 (Board
Order 310, 50 FR 38020, 9/19/1985) and
reorganized under the ASF on July 16,
2013 (Board Order 1907, 78 FR 44523–
44524, 7/24/2013). The zone currently
has a service area that includes Nueces,
San Patricio, Aransas, Jim Wells,
Kleberg and Bee Counties, Texas.
The applicant is now requesting
authority to expand the service area of
the zone to include Refugio County,
Texas, as described in the application.
If approved, the grantee would be able
to serve sites throughout the expanded
service area based on companies’ needs
for FTZ designation. The proposed
expanded service area is adjacent to the
Corpus Christi Customs and Border
Protection port of entry.
In accordance with the FTZ Board’s
regulations, Camille Evans of the FTZ
Staff is designated examiner to evaluate
and analyze the facts and information
presented in the application and case
record and to report findings and
recommendations to the FTZ Board.

determine that Jiheng and Kangtai made
sales in the United States at prices
below normal value (NV). Interested
parties are invited to comment on these
preliminary results.

Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as a 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 Department’s presumption
that reimbursement of antidumping
duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping
duties.
We are issuing and publishing these
results in accordance with sections
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19
CFR 351.213 and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4).

DATES: Effective Date: July 25, 2014.
SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce
(‘‘Department’’) preliminarily
determines that calcium hypochlorite
from the People’s Republic of China
(‘‘PRC’’) is being, or is likely to be, sold
in the United States at less than fair
value (‘‘LTFV’’), as provided in section
733 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (‘‘the Act’’). The period of
investigation (‘‘POI’’) is April 1, 2013,

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 3487.
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 for convenience and
customs purposes, the written
description of the scope of this
investigation is dispositive.
Methodology
The Department conducted this
investigation in accordance with section
731 of the Act. Because all mandatory
respondents in this investigation either
withdrew from the proceeding or did
not cooperate to the best of their ability
with the Department’s requests for
information, the Department
preliminarily determines that the
application of adverse facts available
(‘‘AFA’’) is warranted for this
preliminary determination, in
accordance with section 776 of the Act
and 19 CFR 351.308.

following information: (1) The party's name, address, and telephone
number; (2) the number of participants; and (3) a list of the issues to
be discussed. Oral presentations will be limited to issues raised in
the briefs. If a request for a hearing is made, parties will be
notified of the time and date for the hearing to be held at the U.S.
Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue NW., Washington, DC
20230.\5\

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Department intends to issue the final results of this
administrative review, which will include the results of its analysis
of issues raised in any such comments, within 120 days of publication
of these preliminary results, pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the
Act unless this deadline is extended.
Assessment Rates
Upon issuing the final results of this new shipper review, the
Department shall determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(``CBP'') shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries
covered by this review.\6\ The Department intends to issue assessment
instructions to CBP 15 days after the date of publication of the final
results of this new shipper review.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Where appropriate, we calculated an ad valorem rate for each
importer (or customer) by dividing the total dumping margins for
reviewed sales to that party by the total entered values associated
with those transactions. For duty-assessment rates calculated on this
basis, we will direct CBP to assess the resulting ad valorem rate
against the entered customs values for the subject merchandise.
Where appropriate, we calculated a per-unit rate for each importer
(or customer) by dividing the total dumping margins for reviewed sales
to that party by the total sales quantity associated with those
transactions. For duty-assessment rates calculated on this basis, we
will direct CBP to assess the resulting per-unit rate against the
entered quantity of the subject merchandise. If an importer- (or
customer-) specific assessment rate is de minimis (i.e., less than 0.50
percent), the Department will instruct CBP to assess that importer (or
customer's) entries of subject merchandise without regard to
antidumping duties. The Department intends to issue appropriate
assessment instructions directly to CBP 15 days after publication of
the final results of this review.
Also, the Department recently announced a refinement to its
assessment practice in NME cases.\7\ Pursuant to this refinement in
practice, for entries that were not reported in the U.S. sales
databases submitted by companies individually examined during this
review, the Department will instruct CBP to liquidate such entries at
the PRC-wide rate.\8\ Additionally, if the Department determines that
an exporter under review had no shipments of the subject merchandise,
any suspended entries that entered under that exporter's case number
(i.e., at that exporter's rate) will be liquidated at the PRC-wide
rate.\9\

Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon
publication of the final results of this administrative review for all
shipments
[[Page 43393]]
of the subject merchandise from the PRC entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date, as
provided for by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For the exporter's
listed above, the cash deposit rate will be the rate established in the
final results of this review (except, if the rate is zero or de
minimis, a zero cash deposit rate will be required for that company);
(2) for previously investigated or reviewed PRC and non-PRC exporters
not listed above that have separate rates, the cash deposit rate will
continue to be the existing producer/exporter-specific combination rate
published for the most recent period; (3) for all PRC exporters of
subject merchandise that have not been found to be eligible for a
separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be the PRC-wide rate of
285.63 percent; \10\ and (4) for all non-PRC exporters of subject
merchandise which have not received their own rate, the cash deposit
rate will be the rate applicable to the PRC exporter(s) that supplied
that non-PRC exporter. These deposit requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.

Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as a 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 Department's presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping duties.
We are issuing and publishing these results in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213 and 19
CFR 351.221(b)(4).
Dated: July 17, 2014.

Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
