Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 233 / Wednesday, December 4, 2019 / Notices
the AD Order 1 on malleable cast iron
pipe fittings from China, pursuant to
section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930,
as amended (the Act).2 Commerce
conducted this sunset review on an
expedited basis, pursuant to section
751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2), because it
received a complete timely and
adequate response from domestic
interested parties 3 but no substantive
responses from respondent interested
parties. As a result of its review,
Commerce determined that revocation
of the Order would likely lead to a
continuation or recurrence of dumping.
Commerce also notified the ITC of the
magnitude of the dumping margins
likely to prevail should the Order be
revoked.4
On November 25, 2019, the ITC
published its determination, pursuant to
section 751(c) of the Act, that revocation
of the existing AD order on malleable
cast iron pipe fittings from China would
be likely to lead to a continuation or
recurrence of material injury to an
industry in the United States within a
reasonably foreseeable time.5
Scope of the Order

Continuation of the Order
As a result of the determinations by
Commerce and the ITC that revocation
of the AD Order on malleable cast iron
pipe fittings would be likely to lead to
a continuation or recurrence of
dumping, and material injury to an
industry in the United States, pursuant
to sections 751(c) and 751(d)(2) of the
Act, Commerce hereby orders the
continuation of the AD Order on
malleable cast iron pipe fittings from
China. U.S. Customs and Border
Protection will continue to collect cash
deposits of estimated antidumping
duties at the rates in effect at the time
of entry for all imports of subject
merchandise. The effective date of the
continuation of the order will be the
date of publication in the Federal
Register of this notice of continuation.
Pursuant to section 751(c)(2) of the Act
and 19 CFR 351.218(c)(2), Commerce
intends to initiate the next sunset
review of the Order not later than 30
days prior to the fifth anniversary of the
effective date of this continuation.
Notification to Interested Parties
This five-year sunset review and this
notice are in accordance with section
751(c) of the Act and published
pursuant to section 777(i)(1) of the Act
and 19 CFR 351.218(f)(4).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On September 30, 2019, Commerce
published the preliminary no shipments
determination in the 2018–2019
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on chlorinated
isocyanurates (chlorinated isos) from
Spain.1 No parties submitted comments
on the Preliminary Determination.
Scope of the Order
The products covered by the order are
chlorinated isocyanurates. Chlorinated
isocyanurates are derivatives of
cyanuric 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
and other compounds including an
unfused triazine ring. Although the
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
Commerce preliminarily found that
Ercros did not have any shipments of
subject merchandise during the POR.2
After the Preliminary Determination we
received no comments or additional
information with respect to this

had no shipments of subject
merchandise during the POR. Consistent
with our practice, we will issue
appropriate instructions to U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
based on these final results.
for the manufacturer of subject
merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit
rate for all other manufacturers or
exporters will continue to be 24.83
percent, the all-others rate established
in the investigation.4 These deposit
requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.
Analysis of Comments Received
As noted above, we received no
comments on the Preliminary
Determination.

Changes Since the Preliminary Results
As no parties submitted comments on
the Preliminary Determination,
Commerce has not modified its analysis
from that presented in the Preliminary
Determination, and no decision
memorandum accompanies this Federal
Register notice.

Assessment Rates
We have not calculated any
assessment rates in this administrative
review. Pursuant to Commerce’s
assessment practice, because we have
determined that Ercros 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 all-others rate.3 Commerce
intends to issue appropriate assessment
instructions to CBP 15 days after the
publication date of the final results of
this administrative review.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective for all
shipments of the subject merchandise
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the
publication date of the final results of
this administrative review, as provided
by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1)
The cash deposit rate for Ercros will
remain unchanged from the rate
assigned to the company in the most
recently completed review of that
company; (2) for other manufacturers
and exporters covered in a prior
segment of the proceeding, the cash
deposit rate will continue to be the
company-specific rate published for the
most recently completed segment of this
proceeding in which that manufacturer
or exporter participated; (3) if the
exporter is not a firm covered in this
review, a prior review, or the original
investigation, but the manufacturer is,
then the cash deposit rate will be the
rate established for the most recently
completed segment of this proceeding

This notice also serves as a final
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
Commerce’s presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties
occurred and the subsequent assessment
of double antidumping duties.
Administrative Protective Orders
This notice is the only reminder to
parties subject to the administrative
protective order (APO) of their
responsibility concerning the return or
destruction of proprietary information
disclosed under the APO in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), which
continues to govern business
proprietary information in this segment
of the proceeding. Timely written
notification of the return or destruction
of APO materials, or conversion to
judicial protective order, is hereby
requested. Failure to comply with the
regulations and the terms of an APO is
a sanctionable violation.
We are issuing and publishing these
final results and this notice in
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and
777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.213(h).

Background
On October 15, 2019, the Department
of Commerce (Commerce) initiated a
countervailing duty (CVD) investigation
of imports of certain glass containers
(glass containers) from the People’s
Republic of China.1 Currently, the

Commerce initiated the investigation.
However, section 703(c)(1) of the Act
permits Commerce to postpone the

than 130 days after the date on which
Commerce initiated the investigation if:
(A) The petitioner 2 makes a timely
request for a postponement; or (B)

request for postponement 25 days or
more before the scheduled date of the
preliminary determination and must
state the reasons for the request.
