Download as PDF 462 Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 3 / Wednesday, January 6, 2016 / Notices On October 1, 2015, the Department received an adequate substantive response to the notice of initiation from the domestic interested parties within the 30-day deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i). The Department did not receive any responses from the respondent interested parties, i.e., chlorinated isos producers and exporters from Spain and the PRC. On the basis of the notice of intent to participate and adequate substantive response filed by the petitioners and the inadequate response from any respondent interested party, the Department conducted expedited sunset reviews of these orders pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C). mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES Scope of the Orders The products covered by the orders are chlorinated isos, which are derivatives of cyanuric acid, described as chlorinated s-triazine triones. There are three primary chemical compositions of chlorinated isos: (1) Trichloroisocyanuric acid (Cl3(NCO)3), (2) sodium dichloroisocyanurate (dehydrate) (NaCl2 (NCO)3(2H2O), and (3) sodium dichloroisocyanurate (anhydrous) (Nacl2(NCO)3). The orders cover all chlorinated isos. A full description of the scope of the order is contained in the Issues and Decision Memorandum for the Expedited Sunset Reviews of the Antidumping Duty Orders on Chlorinated Isocyanurates from Spain and the People’s Republic of China. Analysis of Comments Received The issues discussed in the Decision Memorandum 3 are the likelihood of continuation or recurrence of dumping, and the magnitude of the margins of dumping likely to prevail if these orders were revoked. Parties can find a complete discussion of all issues raised in this review and the corresponding recommendations in the Decision Memorandum which is on file electronically via Enforcement and Compliance’s Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS). ACCESS is available to registered users at https://access.trade.gov and is available to all parties in the Central Records Unit in Room B8024 of the main Commerce building. In addition, a complete version of the Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly 3 See Department Memorandum, ‘‘Issues and Decision Memorandum for the Expedited Sunset Reviews of the Antidumping Duty Orders on Chlorinated Isocyanurates from Spain and the People’s Republic of China,’’ dated concurrently with this notice (Decision Memorandum). VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:32 Jan 05, 2016 Jkt 238001 on the Internet at https://trade.gov/ enforcement/. The signed Decision Memorandum and electronic versions of the Decision Memorandum are identical in content. Final Results of Review Pursuant to sections 752(c)(1) and (3) of the Act, we determine that revocation of the antidumping orders of chlorinated isos from Spain and the PRC would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping. Further, we determine that the magnitudes of the margins of dumping likely to prevail are as follows: SPAIN Exporter/producer Margin (percent) Argonesas Delsa S.A ................. All others ..................................... 24.83 24.83 PRC Exporter/producer Margin (percent) Hebei Jiheng Chemical Co .........

Timely notification of the return of destruction of APO materials or conversion to judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to comply with the regulations and terms of an APO is a violation which is subject to sanction. The Department is issuing and publishing these final results and notice in accordance with sections 751(c), 752(c), and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218. Dated: December 30, 2015.
