ACTION: Notice. AGENCY: SUMMARY: The Commission hereby gives notice that it has instituted a review pursuant to the Tariff Act of 1930 (‘‘the Act’’), as amended, to determine whether revocation of the countervailing duty order on chlorinated isocyanurates from China would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury.

To be assured of consideration, the deadline for responses is May 1, 2025. Comments on the adequacy of responses may be filed with the Commission by June 13, 2025.

The public record for this proceeding may be viewed on the Commission’s electronic docket (EDIS) at https://edis.usitc.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background.—On November 13, 2014, the Department of Commerce (‘‘Commerce’’) issued a countervailing duty order on imports of chlorinated isocyanurates from China (79 FR 67424). Following the five-year reviews by Commerce and the Commission, effective May 7, 2020, Commerce issued a continuation of the countervailing duty order on imports of chlorinated isocyanurates from China (85 FR 27207). The Commission is now conducting a second review pursuant to section 751(c) of the Act, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1675(c)), to determine whether PO 00000 Frm 00026 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 revocation of the order would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury to the domestic industry within a reasonably foreseeable time. Provisions concerning the conduct of this proceeding may be found in the Commission’s Rules of Practice and Procedure at 19 CFR part 201, subparts A and B, and 19 CFR part 207, subparts A and F. The Commission will assess the adequacy of interested party responses to this notice of institution to determine whether to conduct a full or expedited review. The Commission’s determination in any expedited review will be based on the facts available, which may include information provided in response to this notice. Definitions.—The following definitions apply to this review: (1) Subject Merchandise is the class or kind of merchandise that is within the scope of the five-year review, as defined by Commerce. (2) The Subject Country in this review is China. (3) The Domestic Like Product is the domestically produced product or products which are like, or in the absence of like, most similar in characteristics and uses with, the Subject Merchandise. In its original determination and its expedited fiveyear review determination, the Commission defined a single Domestic Like Product consisting of all chlorinated isocyanurates, coextensive with Commerce’s scope. (4) The Domestic Industry is the U.S. producers as a whole of the Domestic Like Product, or those producers whose collective output of the Domestic Like Product constitutes a major proportion of the total domestic production of the product. In its original determinations, the Commission defined the Domestic Industry as all domestic integrated producers of chlorinated isocyanurates, as well as all domestic tableters of chlorinated isocyanurates. One Commissioner defined the Domestic Industry differently. In its expedited five-year review determination, the Commission defined the Domestic Industry as consisting of all U.S. producers of chlorinated isos, including tableters. (5) An Importer is any person or firm engaged, either directly or through a parent company or subsidiary, in importing the Subject Merchandise into the United States from a foreign manufacturer or through its selling agent. Participation in the proceeding and public service list.—Persons, including industrial users of the Subject Merchandise and, if the merchandise is sold at the retail level, representative E:\FR\FM\01APN1.SGM 01APN1
