Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 148 / Friday, August 1, 2014 / Notices
Accordingly, the NME entity will not be
under review unless the Department
specifically receives a request for, or
self-initiates, a review of the NME
entity.3 In administrative reviews of
antidumping duty orders on
merchandise from NME countries where
a review of the NME entity has not been
initiated, but where an individual
exporter for which a review was
initiated does not qualify for a separate
rate, the Department will issue a final
decision indicating that the company in
question is part of the NME entity.
However, in that situation, because no
review of the NME entity was
conducted, the NME entity’s entries
were not subject to the review and the
rate for the NME entity is not subject to
change as a result of that review
(although the rate for the individual
exporter may change as a function of the
finding that the exporter is part of the
NME entity).
Following initiation of an
antidumping administrative review
when there is no review requested of the
NME entity, the Department will
instruct CBP to liquidate entries for all
exporters not named in the initiation
notice, including those that were
suspended at the NME entity rate.
All requests must be filed
electronically in Enforcement and
Compliance’s Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Centralized
Electronic Service System (‘‘IA
ACCESS’’) on the IA ACCESS Web site
at https://iaaccess.trade.gov.4 Further, in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.303(f)(l)(i),
a copy of each request must be served
on the petitioner and each exporter or
producer specified in the request.
The Department will publish in the
Federal Register a notice of ‘‘Initiation
of Administrative Review of
Antidumping or Countervailing Duty
Order, Finding, or Suspended
Investigation’’ for requests received by
DOC case No.
the last day of August 2014. If the
Department does not receive, by the last
day of August 2014, a request for review
of entries covered by an order, finding,
or suspended investigation listed in this
notice and for the period identified
above, the Department will instruct CBP
to assess antidumping or countervailing
duties on those entries at a rate equal to
the cash deposit of (or bond for)
estimated antidumping or
countervailing duties required on those
entries at the time of entry, or
withdrawal from warehouse, for
consumption and to continue to collect
the cash deposit previously ordered.
For the first administrative review of
any order, there will be no assessment
of antidumping or countervailing duties
on entries of subject merchandise
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption during the relevant
provisional-measures ‘‘gap’’ period of
the order, if such a gap period is
applicable to the period of review.
This notice is not required by statute
but is published as a service to the
international trading community.
Dated: July 24, 2014.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping
and Countervailing Duty Operations.

Revised Factual Information
Requirements
tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
This notice serves as a reminder that
any party submitting factual information
in an AD/CVD proceeding must certify
to the accuracy and completeness of that
information.2 Parties are hereby
reminded that revised certification
requirements are in effect for company/
government officials as well as their
representatives in all AD/CVD
investigations or proceedings initiated
on or after August 16, 2013.3 The
formats for the revised certifications are
provided at the end of the Final Rule.
The Department intends to reject factual
submissions if the submitting party does
not comply with the revised
certification requirements.
On April 10, 2013, the Department
published Definition of Factual
Information and Time Limits for
Submission of Factual Information:
Final Rule, 78 FR 21246 (April 10,
2013), which modified two regulations
related to antidumping and
countervailing duty proceedings: The
definition of factual information (19
CFR 351.102(b)(21), and the time limits
for the submission of factual
information (19 CFR 351.301). The final
rule identifies five categories of factual
information in 19 CFR 351.102(b)(21),
which are summarized as follows: (i)
Evidence submitted in response to
questionnaires; (ii) evidence submitted
in support of allegations; (iii) publicly
available information to value factors
under 19 CFR 351.408(c) or to measure
the adequacy of remuneration under 19
CFR 351.511(a)(2); (iv) evidence placed
on the record by the Department; and (v)
evidence other than factual information
described in (i)–(iv). The final rule
requires any party, when submitting
factual information, to specify under
which subsection of 19 CFR
351.102(b)(21) the information is being
submitted and, if the information is
submitted to rebut, clarify, or correct
factual information already on the
record, to provide an explanation

identifying the information already on
the record that the factual information
seeks to rebut, clarify, or correct. The
final rule also modified 19 CFR 351.301
so that, rather than providing general
time limits, there are specific time limits
based on the type of factual information
being submitted. These modifications
are effective for all segments initiated on
or after May 10, 2013. Review the final
rule, available at https://
enforcement.trade.gov/frn/2013/
1304frn/2013-08227.txt, prior to
submitting factual information in this
segment. To the extent that other
regulations govern the submission of
factual information in a segment (such
as 19 CFR 351.218), these time limits
will continue to be applied.
Revised Extension of Time Limits
Regulation
On September 20, 2013, the
Department modified its regulation
concerning the extension of time limits
for submissions in antidumping and
countervailing duty proceedings:
Extension of Time Limits, 78 FR 57790
(September 20, 2013). The modification
clarifies that parties may request an
extension of time limits before a time
limit established under part 351 of the
Department’s regulations expires, or as
otherwise specified by the Secretary. In
general, an extension request will be
considered untimely if it is filed after
the time limit established under part
351 expires. For submissions which are
due from multiple parties
simultaneously, an extension request
will be considered untimely if it is filed
after 10:00 a.m. on the due date. Under
certain circumstances, the Department
may elect to specify a different time
limit by which extension requests will
be considered untimely for submissions
which are due from multiple parties
simultaneously. In such a case, the
Department will inform parties in the
letter or memorandum setting forth the
deadline (including a specified time) by
which extension requests must be filed
to be considered timely. This
modification also requires that an
extension request must be made in a
separate, stand-alone submission, and
clarifies the circumstances under which
the Department will grant untimelyfiled requests for the extension of time
limits. These modifications are effective
for all segments initiated on or after
October 21, 2013. Review the final rule,
available at https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/
pkg/FR-2013-09-20/html/201322853.htm, prior to submitting factual
information in these segments.

Letters of Appearance and
Administrative Protective Orders
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.103(d), the
Department will maintain and make
available a public service list for these
proceedings. Parties wishing to
participate in any of these five-year
reviews must file letters of appearance
as discussed at 19 CFR 351.103(d)). To
facilitate the timely preparation of the
public service list, it is requested that
those seeking recognition as interested
parties to a proceeding submit an entry
of appearance within 10 days of the
publication of the Notice of Initiation.
Because deadlines in Sunset Reviews
can be very short, we urge interested
parties who want access to proprietary
information under administrative
protective order (‘‘APO’’) to file an APO
application immediately following
publication in the Federal Register of
this notice of initiation. The
Department’s regulations on submission
of proprietary information and
eligibility to receive access to business
proprietary information under APO can
be found at 19 CFR 351.304–306.
Information Required From Interested
Parties
Domestic interested parties, as
defined in section 771(9)(C), (D), (E), (F),
and (G) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.102(b), wishing to participate in a
Sunset Review must respond not later
than 15 days after the date of
publication in the Federal Register of
this notice of initiation by filing a notice
of intent to participate. The required
contents of the notice of intent to
participate are set forth at 19 CFR
351.218(d)(1)(ii). In accordance with the
Department’s regulations, if we do not
receive a notice of intent to participate
from at least one domestic interested
party by the 15-day deadline, the
Department will automatically revoke
the order without further review.4
If we receive an order-specific notice
of intent to participate from a domestic
interested party, the Department’s
regulations provide that all parties
wishing to participate in a Sunset
Review must file complete substantive
responses not later than 30 days after
the date of publication in the Federal
Register of this notice of initiation. The
required contents of a substantive
response, on an order-specific basis, are
set forth at 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3). Note
that certain information requirements
differ for respondent and domestic
parties. Also, note that the Department’s
information requirements are distinct
from the Commission’s information

SUMMARY: On March 28, 2014, the
Department of Commerce (‘‘the
Department’’) published in the Federal
Register the preliminary results of the
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on chlorinated
isocyanurates (chlorinated isos) from
Spain covering the period June 1, 2012
through May 31, 2013.1 The period of
review (POR) is June 1, 2012, through
May 31, 2013. The review covers one
producer/exporter of the subject
merchandise, Ercros S.A. The
Department gave interested parties an
opportunity to comment on the
Preliminary Results, but we received no
comments. Hence, these final results are
unchanged from the Preliminary
Results, and we continue to find that
Ercros S.A. did not have reviewable
entries during the period of review
(‘‘POR’’).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On March 28, 2014, the Department
published the Preliminary Results of the
instant review.2 Ercros S.A. submitted a
timely-filed certification indicating that
it had no shipments of subject
merchandise to the United States during
the POR.3 In addition, in response to the
Department’s query, U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’) did not
provide any evidence that contradicted
Ercros S.A.’s claim of no shipments.4
The Department received no comments
from interested parties concerning the
results of the CBP query. Therefore,
based on Ercros S.A.’s certification and
our analysis of CBP information, we
preliminarily determined that Ercros
S.A. did not have any reviewable entries
during the POR.5 We invited interested
parties to comment on the Preliminary
Results.6 We received no comments
from interested parties.
The Department conducted this
review in accordance with section
751(a)(1)(B) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (‘‘the Act’’).
Scope of the Order
The products covered by the order are
chlorinated isocyanurates. Chlorinated
isocyanurates are derivatives of
cynauric 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.
The order covers all chlorinated
isocyanurates. Chlorinated
isocyanurates are currently classifiable
under subheadings 2933.69.6015,
2933.69.6021, and 2933.69.6050 of the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTSUS). The tariff
classification 2933.69.6015 covers
sodium dichloroisocyanurates
(anhydrous and dihydrate forms) and
trichloroisocyanuric acid. The tariff
classifications 2933.69.6021 and
2933.69.6050 represent basket categories
that include chlorinated isocyanurates

HTSUS subheadings are provided for
convenience and customs purposes, the
written description of the scope of the
order is dispositive.
Final Determination of No Shipments
As explained above, in the
Preliminary Results, the Department
found that Ercros S.A. did not have
reviewable entries during the POR.7
Also in the Preliminary Results, the
Department stated that consistent with
its recently announced refinement to its
assessment practice, it is not
appropriate to rescind the review with
respect to Ercros S.A., but rather to
complete the review with respect to
Ercros S.A. and issue appropriate
instructions to CBP based on the final
results of this review.8
After issuing the Preliminary Results,
the Department received no comments
from interested parties, nor has it
received any information that would
cause it to revisit its preliminary
determination. Therefore, for these final
results, the Department continues to
find that Ercros S.A. did not have any
reviewable entries during the POR.
Assessment Rates
The Department determined, and CBP
shall assess, antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries of subject
merchandise in accordance with the
final results of this review.9 The
Department intends to issue assessment
instructions to CBP 15 days after the
date of publication of these final results
of review. Additionally, consistent with
the Department’s refinement to its
assessment practice, because the
Department determined that Ercros S.A.
had no shipments of subject
merchandise during the POR, any
suspended entries that entered under
Ercros S.A.’s antidumping duty case
number (i.e., at that exporter’s rate) will
be liquidated at the all-others rate if
there is no rate for the intermediate
company(ies) involved in the
transaction.10

completeness of that information.\2\ Parties are hereby reminded that
revised certification requirements are in effect for company/government
officials as well as their representatives in all AD/CVD investigations

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On April 10, 2013, the Department published Definition of Factual
Information and Time Limits for Submission of Factual Information:
Final Rule, 78 FR 21246 (April 10, 2013), which modified two
regulations related to antidumping and countervailing duty proceedings:
The definition of factual information (19 CFR 351.102(b)(21), and the
time limits for the submission of factual information (19 CFR 351.301).
The final rule identifies five categories of factual information in 19
CFR 351.102(b)(21), which are summarized as follows: (i) Evidence
submitted in response to questionnaires; (ii) evidence submitted in
support of allegations; (iii) publicly available information to value
factors under 19 CFR 351.408(c) or to measure the adequacy of
remuneration under 19 CFR 351.511(a)(2); (iv) evidence placed on the
record by the Department; and (v) evidence other than factual
information described in (i)-(iv). The final rule requires any party,
when submitting factual information, to specify under which subsection
of 19 CFR 351.102(b)(21) the information is being submitted and, if the
information is submitted to rebut, clarify, or correct factual
information already on the record, to provide an explanation
identifying the information already on the record that the factual
information seeks to rebut, clarify, or correct. The final rule also
modified 19 CFR 351.301 so that, rather than providing general time
limits, there are specific time limits based on the type of factual
information being submitted. These modifications are effective for all
segments initiated on or after May 10, 2013. Review the final rule,
available at https://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/2013/1304frn/2013-08227.txt, prior to submitting factual information in this segment. To
the extent that other regulations govern the submission of factual
information in a segment (such as 19 CFR 351.218), these time limits
will continue to be applied.
Revised Extension of Time Limits Regulation
On September 20, 2013, the Department modified its regulation
concerning the extension of time limits for submissions in antidumping
and countervailing duty proceedings: Extension of Time Limits, 78 FR
57790 (September 20, 2013). The modification clarifies that parties may
request an extension of time limits before a time limit established
under part 351 of the Department's regulations expires, or as otherwise
specified by the Secretary. In general, an extension request will be
considered untimely if it is filed after the time limit established
under part 351 expires. For submissions which are due from multiple
parties simultaneously, an extension request will be considered
untimely if it is filed after 10:00 a.m. on the due date. Under certain
circumstances, the Department may elect to specify a different time
limit by which extension requests will be considered untimely for
submissions which are due from multiple parties simultaneously. In such
a case, the Department will inform parties in the letter or memorandum
setting forth the deadline (including a specified time) by which
extension requests must be filed to be considered timely. This
modification also requires that an extension request must be made in a
separate, stand-alone submission, and clarifies the circumstances under
which the Department will grant untimely-filed requests for the
extension of time limits. These modifications are effective for all
segments initiated on or after October 21, 2013. Review the final rule,
available at https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2013-09-20/html/2013-22853.htm, prior to submitting factual information in these segments.
Letters of Appearance and Administrative Protective Orders
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.103(d), the Department will maintain and
make available a public service list for these proceedings. Parties
wishing to participate in any of these five-year reviews must file
letters of appearance as discussed at 19 CFR 351.103(d)). To facilitate
the timely preparation of the public service list, it is requested that
those seeking recognition as interested parties to a proceeding submit
an entry of appearance within 10 days of the publication of the Notice
of Initiation.
Because deadlines in Sunset Reviews can be very short, we urge
interested parties who want access to proprietary information under
administrative protective order (``APO'') to file an APO application
immediately following publication in the Federal Register of this
notice of initiation. The Department's regulations on submission of
proprietary information and eligibility to receive access to business
proprietary information under APO can be found at 19 CFR 351.304-306.
Information Required From Interested Parties
Domestic interested parties, as defined in section 771(9)(C), (D),
(E), (F), and (G) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.102(b), wishing to
participate in a Sunset Review must respond not later than 15 days
after the date of publication in the Federal Register of this notice of
initiation by filing a notice of intent to participate. The required
contents of the notice of intent to participate are set forth at 19 CFR
351.218(d)(1)(ii). In accordance with the Department's regulations, if
we do not receive a notice of intent to participate from at least one
domestic interested party by the 15-day deadline, the Department will
automatically revoke the order without further review.\4\

\4\ See 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(iii).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
If we receive an order-specific notice of intent to participate
from a domestic interested party, the Department's regulations provide
that all parties wishing to participate in a Sunset Review must file
complete substantive responses not later than 30 days after the date of
publication in the Federal Register of this notice of initiation. The
required contents of a substantive response, on an order-specific
basis, are set forth at 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3). Note that certain
information requirements differ for respondent and domestic parties.
Also, note that the Department's information requirements are distinct
from the Commission's information
[[Page 44745]]
requirements. Consult the Department's regulations for information
regarding the Department's conduct of Sunset Reviews. Consult the
Department's regulations at 19 CFR part 351 for definitions of terms
and for other general information concerning antidumping and
countervailing duty proceedings at the Department.
This notice of initiation is being published in accordance with
section 751(c) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(c).
Dated: July 24, 2014.
