China: Final Results of the Third Expedited Sunset Reviews of the 
Antidumping Duty Orders

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

(AD) orders on chlorinated isocyanurates (chlorinated isos) from Spain 
and the People's Republic of China (China) would likely lead to 
continuation or recurrence of dumping at the levels indicated in the 
``Final Results of Sunset Review'' section of this notice.

DATES: Applicable January 31, 2022.
