SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of

countervailing duty (CVD) order on 

(chloro isos) from the People’s Republic 

of China (China) for the January 1, 2015, 

through December 31, 2015, period of 

review (POR), and determines that 

countervailable subsidies are being 

provided to producers and exporters of 

chloro isos. The final net subsidy rates 

are listed below in ‘‘Final Results of 

Administrative Review.’’ 

DATES: Applicable June 11, 2018.

Christian Llinas or Omar Qureshi, AD/

202.482.4877 or 202.482.5307, 

respectively. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On November 13, 2014, Commerce 

published the CVD Order on chloro isos 

from China.1 On December 4, 2017, 

Commerce published the Preliminary 

Results of this administrative review in 

the Federal Register.2 We invited 

interested parties to comment on the 

Preliminary Results. On January 16, 

2018, we received case briefs from the 

petitioners,3 the Government of China 

(GOC), and from the mandatory 

respondents, Heze Huayi 4 and 

Kangtai.5 6 On January 29, 2018, we 

received rebuttal briefs from the 

petitioners, the GOC, and from the 

mandatory respondents, Heze Huayi 

and Kangtai.7

Scope of the Order 

The products covered by the order are 

chloro isos, which are derivatives are 

cyanuric acid, described as chlorinated 

s-triazine triones.8 Chloro isos are 

currently classifiable under subheadings 

2933.69.6015, 2933.69.6021, 

2933.69.6050, 3808.50.4000, 

3808.94.5000, and 3808.99.9500 of the 

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States (HTSUS). The HTSUS 

subheadings are provided for 

convenience and customs purposes; the 

written product description of the scope 

of the order is dispositive. 

Analysis of Comments Received 

All issues raised in the parties’ briefs 

are listed in the Appendix to this notice 

and addressed in the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum. The Issues and 

Decision Memorandum is a public 

document and 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 in the Central 

Records Unit, Room B8024 of the main 

Commerce building. In addition, a 

complete version of the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum can be accessed 

directly at http://enforcement.trade.gov/ 

frn. The signed Issues and Decision 

Memorandum and the electronic 

version of the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum are identical in content. 

Changes Since the Preliminary Results 

Based on case briefs, rebuttal briefs, 

and all supporting documentation, we 

made a change to Heze Huayi’s 

countervailable subsidy rate to account 

for transpositional errors made in Heze 

Huayi’s calculations. We made no 

changes from the Preliminary Results. 

Methodology 

The Department conducted this 

review in accordance with section 

751(a)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 

amended (the Act). For each of the 

subsidy programs found 

countervailable, we find that there is a 

subsidy, i.e., a government-provided 

financial contribution that gives rise to 

a benefit to the recipient, and that the 

subsidy is specific.9 The Issues and 

Decision Memorandum contains a full 

description of the methodology 

underlying the Department’s 

conclusions, including any 

determination that relied upon the use 

of adverse facts available pursuant to 

sections 776(a) and (b) of the Act. 

Final Results of Review 

In accordance with 19 CFR 

351.221(b)(5), we determine the 

following net subsidy rates for the 2015 

administrative review:

a notice of opportunity to request an 

administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order on certain 

nickel-plated, flat-rolled steel from 

Japan.1 On May 22, 2017, Toyo Kohan

requests, and in accordance with section 

751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 

amended (the Act) and 19 CFR

on certain nickel-plated, flat-rolled steel 

from Japan with respect to both Toyo 

Kohan and NSSMC.4

Commerce exercised its discretion to

this review is June 4, 2018.5

flat-rolled steel products included in 

this order are flat-rolled, cold-reduced 

steel products, regardless of chemistry; 

whether or not in coils; either plated or
