Calcium Hypochlorite From the People's Republic of China: Final 
Decision To Rescind the New Shipper Review of Haixing Jingmei Chemical 
Products Sales Co., Ltd.

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

SUMMARY: On June 27, 2016, the Department of Commerce (the 
``Department'') published its Preliminary Rescission for the new 
shipper review (``NSR'') of the antidumping duty order on calcium 
hypochlorite from the People's Republic of China (``PRC''). The period 
of review is July 25, 2014 through June 30, 2015. As discussed below, 
we preliminarily determined to rescind this review because we requested 
but were not provided sufficient information to conduct a bona fide 
analysis as required by the statute, and accordingly cannot determine 
whether the new shipper sales of Haixing Jingmei Chemical Products 
Sales Co., Ltd. (``Jingmei'') are bona fide. Based on our analysis of 
the comments received, we make no changes to the Preliminary 
Rescission. Accordingly, we have determined to rescind this NSR with 
respect to Jingmei.

DATES: Effective November 22, 2016.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kabir Archuletta or Amanda Brings, AD/

Final Rescission of Jingmei New Shipper Review

    In the Preliminary Rescission, we preliminarily determined to 
rescind this review because we requested but were not provided 
sufficient information to conduct a bona fide analysis as required by 
the statute, and accordingly cannot determine whether the new shipper 
sales of Jingmei are bona fide. Based on the Department's complete 
analysis of all of the information and comments on the record of this 
review, we make no changes to the Preliminary Rescission. Accordingly, 
we have determined to rescind this NSR with respect to Jingmei. For a 
complete discussion, see the Preliminary Bona Fide Memo \5\ and the 
Issues and Decision Memorandum.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See Memorandum to James Doyle, Director, Office V, 
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Operations, through Catherine 
Bertrand, Program Manager, Office V, Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Operations, from Kabir Archuletta, Senior International Trade 
Analyst, ``Bona Fide Nature of the Sales in the Antidumping Duty New 
Shipper Review of Calcium Hypochlorite From the People's Republic of 
China: Haixing Jingmei Chemical Products Sales Co., Ltd.,'' dated 
June 20, 2016 (``Preliminary Bona Fide Memo'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Assessment

    As the Department is rescinding this NSR, we have not calculated a 
company-specific dumping margin for Jingmei.

Cash Deposit Requirements

    Effective upon publication of this notice of the final rescission 
of the NSR of Jingmei, the Department will instruct U.S. Customs and 
Border Protection to discontinue the option of posting a bond or 
security in lieu of a cash deposit for entries of subject merchandise 
from Jingmei. Because we did not calculate a dumping margin for 
Jingmei, Jingmei continues to be part of the PRC-wide entity. The cash 
deposit rate for the PRC-wide entity is 200.90 percent.\6\ The current 
cash deposit requirements shall remain in effect until further notice.

Administrative Protective Orders

    This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective orders (``APO'') of their responsibility 
concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information 
disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305, which continues 
to govern business proprietary information in this segment of the 
proceeding. Timely written notification of the return/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 results in 
accordance with sections 751(a)(2)(B) and 777(i) of the Tariff Act of 
1930, as amended, and 19 CFR 351.214 and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5).

    Dated: November 14, 2016.
