(chlorinated isos) from the People’s 

Republic of China (China) during the 

period of review (POR), January 1, 2022, 

through December 31, 2022. Interested 

parties are invited to comment on these

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On November 13, 2014, Commerce 

published the countervailing duty order 

on chlorinated isos from China in the 

Federal Register.1 On December 29, 

2023, Commerce published a notice of 

initiation of an administrative review of 

the Order.2 On July 2, 2024, Commerce 

extended the time period for issuing 

these preliminary results by 120 days, 

until November 29, 2024, in accordance 

with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff 

Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).3 On 

July 22, 2024, Commerce tolled certain 

deadlines in this administrative review 

by seven days.4 The deadline for these 

preliminary results is now December 6, 

2024. 

For a complete description of the 

events that followed the initiation of 

this review, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum.5 A list of topics 

discussed in the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum is included as an 

appendix to this notice. The Preliminary 

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 https://access.

trade.gov. In addition, a complete 

version of the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum can be accessed directly 

at https://access.trade.gov/public/ 

FRNoticesListLayout.aspx. 

Scope of the Order 

The products covered by the Order 

are chlorinated isos from China. For a 

complete description of the scope of the 

Order, see the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum. 

Partial Rescission of Administrative 

Review 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), 

Commerce will rescind an 

administrative review when there are no 

reviewable suspended entries. Based on 

our analysis of U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection (CBP) information, we 

preliminarily determine that: (1) Hebei 

Fuhui Water Treatment Co., Ltd.; (2) 

Henan Sinowin Chemical Industry Co., 

Ltd.; (3) Linhai Limin Chemicals Co., 

Ltd.; (4) Puyang Cleanway Chemicals 

Ltd.; (5) Qingdao Fortune Logistics Co., 

Ltd.; (6) Shandong Dongyue Chemical 

Co., Ltd.; (7) Shandong Taihe Chemicals 

Co., Ltd.; (8) Shanghai Special Logistics 

Co., Ltd.; (9) Shanghai Tianxiang 

Logistics Co., Ltd.; and (10) Topdan 

Industries Co., Limited had no entries of 

subject merchandise during the POR. 

On February 14, 2024, we notified 

parties that we intended to rescind this 

administrative review with respect to 

these companies.6 No parties 

commented on the notification of intent 

to rescind the review, in part. We are, 

therefore, rescinding the administrative 

review of these companies. For 

additional information regarding this 

determination, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum. 

Methodology 

Commerce is conducting this review 

in accordance with section 751(a)(1)(A) 

of the Act. For each of the subsidy 

programs found countervailable, we 

preliminarily find that there is a 

subsidy, i.e., a financial contribution 

that gives rise to a benefit to the 

recipient, and that the subsidy is 

specific.7

Commerce notes that, in making these 

findings, it relied, in part, on facts 

available and, because it finds that the 

Government of China did not act to the 

best of its ability to respond to 

Commerce’s requests for information, 

we drew an adverse inference where 

appropriate in selecting from among the 

facts otherwise available.8 For further 

information, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum at the section 

titled, ‘‘Use of Facts Otherwise 

Available and Adverse Inferences.’’

Disclosure 

We will disclose to parties to this 

proceeding the calculations performed 

for these preliminary results within five 

days of the date of publication of these 

preliminary results in accordance with 

19 CFR 351.224(b). 

Public Comment 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.309(c), 

interested parties may submit case briefs 

no later than 30 days after the date of 

publication of this notice. Rebuttal 

briefs, limited to issues raised in the 

case briefs, may be filed not later than 

five days after the date for filing case 

briefs.9 Parties who submit case briefs or 

rebuttal briefs in this proceeding are 

encouraged to submit with each 

argument: (1) a statement of the issue; 

and (2) a table of authorities.10 As 

provided under 19 CFR 351.309(c)(2) 

and (d)(2), in prior proceedings we have 

encouraged interested parties to provide 

an executive summary of their briefs 

that should be limited to five pages 

total, including footnotes. In this 

review, we instead request that 

interested parties provide at the 

beginning of their briefs a public, 

executive summary for each issue raised 

in their briefs.11 Further, we request that 

interested parties limit their public 

executive summary of each issue to no 

more than 450 words, not including 

citations. We intend to use the public 

executive summaries as the basis of the 

comment summaries included in the 

issues and decision memorandum that 

will accompany the final results in this 

administrative review. We request that 

interested parties include footnotes for 

relevant citations in the public 

executive summary of each issue. Note 

that Commerce has amended certain of 

its requirements pertaining to the 

service of documents in 19 CFR 

351.303(f).12

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), 

interested parties who wish to request a 

hearing must submit a written request to 

the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement 

and Compliance, U.S. Department of 

Commerce within 30 days after the date 

of publication of this notice. Requests 

should contain the party’s name, 

address, and telephone number, the 

number of participants, whether any 

participant is a foreign national, and a 

list of the issues to be discussed. Issues 

raised in the hearing will be limited to 

those raised in the respective case and 

rebuttal briefs.13 Parties should confirm 

the date and time of the hearing two 

days before the scheduled date. Parties 

are reminded that all briefs and hearing 

requests must be filed electronically 

using ACCESS and received 

successfully in their entirety by 5:00 

p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. 

Assessment Rate 

Consistent with section 751(a)(2)(C) of 

the Act, upon issuance of the final 

results, Commerce shall determine, and 

CBP shall assess, countervailing duties 

on all appropriate entries in accordance 

with the final results of this review. If 

the assessment rate calculated in the 

final results is zero or de minimis, we 

will instruct CBP to liquidate all 

appropriate entries without regard to 

countervailing duties. 

For the companies for which this 

review is rescinded, we will instruct 

CBP to assess countervailing duties on 

all appropriate entries at a rate equal to 

the cash deposit of estimated 

countervailing duties required at the 

time of entry, or withdrawal from 

warehouse, for consumption, during the 

period January 1, 2022, through 

December 31, 2022, in accordance with 

19 CFR 351.212(c)(l)(i). 

Commerce intends to issue 

assessment instructions to CBP no 

earlier than 35 days after the date of 

publication of the preliminary results of 

this review in the Federal Register for 

those companies for which Commerce is 

rescinding the review and no earlier 

than 35 days after the date of 

publication of the final results of this 

review in the Federal Register for the 

mandatory respondents. If a timely 

summons is filed at the U.S. Court of 

International Trade, the assessment 

instructions will direct CBP not to 

liquidate relevant entries until the time 

for parties to file a request for a statutory 

injunction has expired (i.e., within 90 

days of publication). 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the 

Act, Commerce intends to instruct CBP 

to collect cash deposits of estimated 

countervailing duties in the amounts 

shown for the companies listed above 

on shipments of subject merchandise 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after the date of 

publication of the final results of this 

administrative review, except where the 

rate calculated in the final results of this 

administrative review is zero or de 

minimis, no cash deposit will be 

required. For all non-reviewed firms, 

including companies for which we 

rescinded the review, we will instruct 

CBP to continue to collect cash deposits 

of estimated countervailing duties at the 

most recent company-specific or allothers rate applicable to the company, 

as appropriate. These cash deposit 

instructions, when imposed, shall 

remain in effect until further notice. 

Final Results of Review 

Unless the deadline is extended 

pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the 

Act, Commerce intends to issue the final 

results of this administrative review, 

including the results of our analysis of 

the issues raised by the parties in their 

comments, within 120 days after 

publication of these preliminary results. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

This administrative review and notice 

are issued and published in accordance 

with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of 

the Act, and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4).
