SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On September 30, 2019, Commerce published the preliminary no

antidumping duty order on chlorinated isocyanurates (chlorinated isos)
from Spain.\1\ No parties submitted comments on the Preliminary
Determination.

Shipments Determination of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review;
2018-2019, 84 FR 51511 (September 30, 2019) (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

company. Therefore, for these final results, we continue to find that
Ercros 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.

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.

of Antidumping Duties, 76 FR 65694 (October 24, 2011).

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 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.

Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value, 70 FR 24506 (May 10,

Notification to Importers
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).
Dated: November 29, 2019.
