Chlorinated Isocyanurates From Spain and the People's Republic of 
China: Final Results of the Expedited Sunset Reviews of the Antidumping 
Duty Orders

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.

DATES: Effective Date: January 6, 2016.
SUMMARY: As a result of these sunset reviews, the Department of 
Commerce (the Department) finds that revocation of the antidumping duty 
orders on chlorinated isocyanurates (chlorinated isos) from Spain and 
the People's Republic of China (PRC) would be likely to lead to 
continuation or recurrence of dumping at the rates identified in the 
``Final Results of Review'' section of this notice.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jacqueline Arrowsmith or Chien-Min 
Yang, AD/CVD Operations, Office 7, Enforcement and Compliance, U.S.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The Department published the antidumping duty orders on chlorinated 
isos from Spain and the PRC on June 24, 2005.\1\ On September 1, 2015, 
pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 
Act), the Department initiated sunset reviews of the antidumping duty 
orders on chlorinated isos from Spain and the PRC.\2\ On September 11, 
2015, the Department received a notice of intent to participate from 
Clearon Corporation (Clearon), Occidental Chemical Corporation 
(OxyChem), and Bio-Lab, Inc. (Bio-Lab), (collectively, the 
petitioners), within the deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i). 
Petitioners are manufacturers of a domestic like product in the United 
States and, accordingly, are domestic interested parties pursuant to 
section 771(9)(C) of the Act.

Antidumping Duty Order, 70 FR 36562 (June 24, 2005) (``Spain 
Order''); see also Notice of Antidumping Duty Order: Chlorinated 
Isocyanurates from the People's Republic of China, 70 FR 36561 (June

    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).

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 
http://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 
on the Internet at http://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:
