(OxyChem), as domestic producers of
chlorinated isos within the deadline
specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i).4
On October 31, 2019, Commerce
received a complete substantive
response for the review from the
domestic producers within the 30-day
deadline specified in 19 CFR
351.218(d)(3)(i).5 Commerce received no
substantive responses from respondent
interested parties, including the
Government of China. Pursuant to
section 751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 19
CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2), Commerce
conducted an expedited (120-day)
sunset review of this Order.6
As a result of its review, Commerce
determined that revocation of the
countervailing duty order would likely
lead to a continuation or recurrence of
material injury to an industry in the
United States within a reasonably
foreseeable time. On April 24, 2020, the
ITC published its determination that
revocation of the Order would likely
lead to a continuation or recurrence of
material injury to an industry in the
United States within a reasonably
foreseeable time, pursuant to section
751(c) of the Act.7

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 (TCCA) (Cl3(NCO)3), (2) sodium
dichloroisocyanurate (dihydrate)
(NaCl2(NCO)3 X 2H2O), and (3) sodium
dichloroisocyanurate (anhydrous)
(NaCl2(NCO)3). Chlorinated
isocyanurates are available in powder,
granular and solid (e.g., tablet or stick)
forms.
Chlorinated isocyanurates are
currently classifiable under subheadings
2933.69.6015, 2933.69.6021,
2933.69.6050, 3808.50.4000,

Continuation of the Order
As a result of the determinations by
Commerce and the ITC that revocation
of the Order would likely lead to
continuation or recurrence of
countervailable subsidies and material
injury to an industry in the United
States, pursuant to section 751(d)(2) of
the Act, Commerce hereby orders the
continuation of the Order.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection
will continue to collect countervailing
duty cash deposits 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,
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 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

Final Results of Review
We made no changes from the
Preliminary Results. Therefore, as a
PO 00000
Frm 00006
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

result of this review, we determine that
all companies subject to this
administrative review have not
established their eligibility for a
separate rate and are part of the Chinawide entity.3 Furthermore, as stated in
the PDM,4 we have referred allegations
regarding the potential misreporting of
entry types to U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP).
Assessment Rates
Commerce shall determine, and CBP
shall assess, antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries in accordance with
section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19
CFR 351.212(b). Because we determined
that all companies subject to this review
are not eligible for a separate rate and
are part of the China-wide entity, we
will instruct CBP to apply an ad
valorem assessment rate of 90.83
percent to all entries of subject
merchandise during the POR by the
companies under review. Commerce
intends to issue assessment instructions
to CBP 15 days after the date of
publication of these final results of
review.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective for all
shipments of 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)
For all China exporters of subject
merchandise that have not been found
to be entitled to a separate rate, the cash
deposit rate will be that for the Chinawide entity (i.e., 90.83 percent); (2) for
previously investigated or reviewed
China and non-China exporters which
are not under review in this segment of
the proceeding but received a separate
rate in a previous segment, the cash
deposit rate will continue to be the
existing exporter-specific rate; and (3)
for all non-China exporters of subject
merchandise which have not received
their own rate, the cash deposit rate will
be the rate applicable to the China
exporter(s) that supplied that non-China
exporter. These deposit requirements,
when imposed, shall remain in effect
until further notice.
Notification to Importers

importers of their responsibility, under

I. Abstract
This request is for extension of a
currently approved information
collection.
As part of fishery management plans
developed under the authority of the
Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act,
owners of commercial fishing vessels in
the Hawaii pelagic longline fishery,
American Samoa pelagic longline
fishery (only vessels longer than 50
feet), Northwestern Hawaiian Islands
lobster fishery (currently inactive), and
Northern Mariana Islands bottomfish
fishery (only vessels longer than 40 feet)
must allow the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to
install vessel monitoring system (VMS)
units on their vessels when directed to
do so by NOAA enforcement personnel.
VMS units automatically send periodic
reports on the position of the vessel.
NOAA uses the reports to monitor the
vessel’s location and activities,
primarily to enforce regulated fishing
areas. NOAA pays for the units and
messaging. There is no public burden
for the automatic messaging; VMS
installation, annual maintenance and
operating (connection) costs for Hawaii
longline vessels are paid for by NOAA
Fisheries.
Estimated Time per Response: 4 hours
for installation or replacement of a VMS
unit; 2 hours for annual maintenance.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 478 (estimated 15 installations
per year).
Estimated Total Annual Cost to
Public: $0 in VMS system installation
and maintenance, recordkeeping, or
reporting costs.

Final Results of Review
We made no changes from the Preliminary Results. Therefore, as a
result of this review, we determine that all companies subject to this
administrative review have not established their eligibility for a
separate rate and are part of the China-wide entity.\3\ Furthermore, as
stated in the PDM,\4\ we have referred allegations regarding the
potential misreporting of entry types to U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP).

\3\ For a list of the companies under review and which are
determined to be part of the China-wide entity, see Initiation of
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews, 84 FR
2159 (February 6, 2019).
\4\ See PDM at 4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Assessment Rates
Commerce shall determine, and CBP shall assess, antidumping duties
on all appropriate entries in accordance with section 751(a)(2)(C) of
the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b). Because we determined that all companies
subject to this review are not eligible for a separate rate and are
part of the China-wide entity, we will instruct CBP to apply an ad
valorem assessment rate of 90.83 percent to all entries of subject
merchandise during the POR by the companies under review. Commerce
intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP 15 days after the date
of publication of these final results of review.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective for all
shipments of 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) For all China exporters of subject merchandise that have
not been found to be entitled to a separate rate, the cash deposit rate
will be that for the China-wide entity (i.e., 90.83 percent); (2) for
previously investigated or reviewed China and non-China exporters which
are not under review in this segment of the proceeding but received a
separate rate in a previous segment, the cash deposit rate will
continue to be the existing exporter-specific rate; and (3) for all
non-China exporters of subject merchandise which have not received
their own rate, the cash deposit rate will be the rate applicable to
the China exporter(s) that supplied that non-China exporter. These
deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until
further notice.
Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a reminder to importers of their
responsibility, under
[[Page 27210]]
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 Order
This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely written
notification of return/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.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(h) and
351.221(b)(5).
