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.
