19644 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 63 / Monday, April 2, 2012 / Notices 

1 In comments made on the interim final sunset 

regulations, a number of parties stated that the 

proposed five-day period for rebuttals to 

substantive responses to a notice of initiation was 

insufficient. This requirement was retained in the 

final sunset regulations at 19 CFR 351.218(d)(4). As 

provided in 19 CFR 351.302(b), however, the 

Department will consider individual requests to 

extend that five-day deadline based upon a showing 

of good cause. 

respond not later than 15 days after the 

date of publication in the Federal 

Register of this notice of initiation by 

filing a notice of intent to participate. 

The required contents of the notice of 

intent to participate are set forth at 19 

CFR 351.218(d)(1)(ii). In accordance 

with the Department’s regulations, if we 

do not receive a notice of intent to 

participate from at least one domestic 

interested party by the 15-day deadline, 

the Department will automatically 

revoke the order without further review. 

See 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(iii). 

If we receive an order-specific notice 

of intent to participate from a domestic 

interested party, the Department’s 

regulations provide that all parties 

wishing to participate in the Sunset 

Review must file complete substantive 

responses not later than 30 days after 

the date of publication in the Federal 

Register of this notice of initiation. The 

required contents of a substantive 

response, on an order-specific basis, are 

set forth at 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3). Note 

that certain information requirements 

differ for respondent and domestic 

parties. Also, note that the Department’s 

information requirements are distinct 

from the Commission’s information 

requirements. Please consult the 

Department’s regulations for 

information regarding the Department’s 

conduct of Sunset Reviews.1 Please 

consult the Department’s regulations at 

19 CFR Part 351 for definitions of terms 

and for other general information 

concerning antidumping and 

countervailing duty proceedings at the 

Department. 

This notice of initiation is being 

published in accordance with section 

751(c) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218 

(c).

Shipper Review 

AGENCY: Import Administration,

Department of Commerce. 

DATES: Effective Date: April 2, 2012. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce 

(the Department) initiated a new 

shipper review of the antidumping duty 

order on chlorinated isocyanurates 

(chlorinated isos) from the People’s 

Republic of China (PRC) for the period 

of June 1, 2011, through February 29, 

2012. As discussed below, we determine 

that the producer and exporter Puyang 

Cleanway Chemicals Ltd. (Puyang 

Cleanway) did not satisfy the regulatory 

requirements to request a new shipper 

review; therefore, we are rescinding this 

new shipper review.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION 

Background 

The antidumping duty order on 

chlorinated isos from the PRC was 

published on June 24, 2005. See Notice 

of Antidumping Duty Order: 

Chlorinated Isocyanurates from the 

People’s Republic of China, 70 FR 36561 

(June 24, 2005). On December 30, 2011, 

the Department received a timely 

request for a new shipper review (NSR) 

from Puyang Cleanway in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.214(c) and 19 CFR 

351.214(d). On January 31, 2012, the 

Department initiated the NSR. See 

Chlorinated Isocyanurates From the 

People’s Republic of China: Initiation of 

New Shipper Review, 77 FR 5773 

(February 6, 2012) (Initiation Notice). 

Period of Review 

Usually, in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.214(g)(1)(i)(B), the period of review 

(POR) for new shipper reviews initiated 

in the month immediately following the 

semi-annual anniversary month is the 

six-month period immediately 

preceding the semiannual anniversary 

month (in this instance, June 1, 2011, 

through November 30, 2011). Puyang 

Cleanway’s sale, which took place in 

November of the POR, had not yet 

entered by the end of the standard 

regulatory POR. The Department, 

however, has in the past extended a 

POR forward to capture entries for sales 

made during the POR that have not yet 

entered during the POR specified by the 

Department’s regulations. Therefore, 

consistent with 19 CFR.214(f)(2)(ii), the 

Department stated, in the Initiation 

Notice, that it was extending the POR 

for the NSR forward to allow Puyang 

Cleanway to enter this sale. We stated 

that in no case, however, would we 

extend the POR past February 29, 2012. 

This decision allowed Puyang Cleanway 

more than three months to enter its 

November shipment. 

Scope of the Order 

The products covered by the order are 

chlorinated isocyanurates (chlorinated 

isos), which are derivatives of cyanuric 

acid, described as chlorinated s-triazine 

triones. There are three primary 

chemical compositions of chlorinated 

isos: (1) Trichloroisocyanuric acid 

(Cl3(NCO)3), (2) sodium 

dichloroisocyanurate (dihydrate) 

(NaCl2(NCO)3(2H2O), and (3) sodium 

dichloroisocyanurate (anhydrous) 

(NaCl2(NCO)3). Chlorinated isos are 

available in powder, granular, and 

tableted forms. The order covers all 

chlorinated isos. 

Chlorinated isos are currently 

classifiable under subheadings 

2933.69.6015, 2933.69.6021, 

2933.69.6050, 3808.40.50, 3808.50.40 

and 3808.94.5000 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 isos 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. 

Rescission of the Antidumping Duty 

New Shipper Review of Puyang 

Cleanway 

In the Initiation Notice, the 

Department extended the POR to allow 

Puyang Cleanway to complete entry of 

its sale of subject merchandise. The 

Department stated in the Initiation 

Notice that, if this sale had not yet 

entered by February 29, 2012, the 

Department intended to rescind this 

NSR. The Department contacted Puyang 

Cleanway’s counsel regarding this entry 

and received no indication that the 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 63 / Monday, April 2, 2012 / Notices 19645 

shipment had entered the country. See 

Memorandum to the File, ‘‘Information 

Regarding Entries of Subject 

Merchandise During the Period of 

Review,’’ March 16, 2012. Entry data 

requested from U.S. Customs and 

Border Protection (CBP) does not 

indicate that this shipment has entered 

the country. Id. Because Puyang 

Cleanway has not demonstrated that 

this sale has entered the United States, 

there is no basis for conducting an NSR 

since there must be a suspended entry 

in order for the Department to conduct 

the review. Therefore, we are rescinding 

the NSR of Puyang Cleanway. 

Assessment Rates 

Any entries of exports made by 

Puyang Cleanway will be subject to the 

PRC-wide rate. The Department is 

currently conducting an administrative 

review for the POR, June 1, 2010, 

through May 31, 2011, in which the 

PRC-wide rate is under review. See 

Initiation of Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Administrative 

Reviews, Request for Revocations in Part 

and Deferral of Administrative Reviews, 

76 FR 45227 (July 28, 2011). We will 

instruct CBP to assess antidumping 

duties on entries exported by Puyang 

Cleanway at the appropriate PRC-wide 

rate determined in the 2010–2011 

administrative review. Because there 

were no suspended entries at the time 

of initiation, no bonding option 

instructions were sent to CBP at the 

initiation of this NSR; therefore the 

Department does not need to issue 

instructions to CBP no longer allowing 

posting a bond in lieu of cash-deposit, 

as is typically done when an NSR is 

rescinded. 

Notification Regarding Administrative 

Protective Orders 

This notice is the only reminder to 

parties subject to an 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). 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. 

Notification to Importers 

This notice serves as a 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 the 

Department’s presumption that 

reimbursement of antidumping duties 

occurred and the subsequent assessment 

of double antidumping duties. 

We are publishing this determination 

and notice in accordance with sections 

751(a)(2)(B) and 777(i) of the Act and 19 

CFR 351.214(f)(3). 

March 26, 2012.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

subject permit is requested under the 

authority of the Marine Mammal 

Protection Act of 1972, as amended 

(MMPA; 16 U.S.C. 1361 et seq.), the 

regulations governing the taking and 

importing of marine mammals (50 CFR 

part 216), the Endangered Species Act of 

1973, as amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 

et seq.), and the regulations governing 

the taking, importing, and exporting of 

endangered and threatened species (50 

CFR 222–226). 

Mr. John Calambokidis requests a 

five-year permit to study cetaceans and 

pinnipeds in the eastern North Pacific, 

from Central America to Alaska. The 

research is a continuation of long-term 

studies designed to examine marine 

mammal abundance, distribution, 

population structure, habitat use, social 

structure, movement patterns, diving 

behavior, and diet. The proposed project 

would also assess the impact of human 

activities such as ship strikes, noise 

exposure, contaminants, and fishery 

interactions on marine mammals. Focal 

species are blue (Balaenoptera 

musculus), fin (B. physalus), humpback 

(Megaptera novaeangliae), eastern gray 

(Eschrichtius robustus), sperm (Physeter 

macrocephalus), and beaked 

(Mesoplodon spp.) whales. An 

additional 15 cetacean species and five 

pinniped species would also be studied, 

including the endangered sei whale (B. 

borealis), endangered Southern Resident 

stock of killer whales (Orcinus orca), 

and the threatened eastern stock of 

Steller sea lions (Eumetopias jubatus). 

Aerial surveys would be conducted to 

study abundance and distribution, and 

to track tagged animals. Ground surveys 

would consist of population counts and 

scat collection to study harbor seals 

(Phoca vitulina) and other pinnipeds at 

haul-out areas in Puget Sound and 

throughout Washington. Vessel surveys 

would include photo-identification, 

behavioral focal follows, underwater 

observations and filming, hydroacoustic 

prey determination, passive acoustic 

recording, breath sampling, biopsy 

sampling, collection of sloughed skin, 

and attachment of suction cup and dart 

tags. Tags would provide a variety of 

information such as video images, 

acoustic recordings, movement data, 

and physiology information.
