SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On May 18, 2017, Commerce 

published in the Federal Register the 

Order on HEDP from China.1 On April 

1, 2022, Commerce published the notice 

of initiation of the first sunset review of 

the Order on HEDP from China, 

pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff 

Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).2 On 

April 15, 2022, Commerce received a 

timely notice of intent to participate 

from Compass Chemical International, 

LLC (Compass), i.e., a domestic 

interested party.3 Compass claimed 

interested party status under section 

771(9)(C) of the Act as a producer of the 

domestic like product in the United 

States. 

On May 2, 2022, Commerce received 

a timely and adequate substantive 

response from Compass.4 We received 

no substantive responses from any other 

interested parties, including the 

Government of China, nor was a hearing 

requested. On May 24, 2022, Commerce 

notified the U.S. International Trade 

Commission that it did not receive an 

adequate substantive response from 

respondent interested parties.5 As a 

result, pursuant to 751(c)(3)(B) of the 

Act and 19 CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2), 

Commerce conducted an expedited 

(120-day) sunset review of the Order. 

Scope of the Order 

The merchandise covered by the 

Order includes all grades of aqueous 

acidic (non-neutralized) concentrations 

of HEDP, also referred to as 

hydroxyethylidenendiphosphonic acid, 

hydroxyethanediphosphonic acid, 

acetodiphosphonic acid, and etidronic 

acid. The Chemical Abstract Service 

(CAS) registry number for HEDP is 

2809–21–4. 

The merchandise subject to the Order 

is currently classified in the 

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States (HTSUS) at subheading 

2931.90.9043. It may also enter under 

HTSUS subheadings 2811.19.6090, 

2931.90.9041, 2931.90.9051, 

2811.19.6190, and 2931.39.0018.6 While 

HTSUS subheadings and the CAS 

registry number are provided for 

convenience and customs purposes 

only, the written description of the 

scope of the Order is dispositive. 

Analysis of Comments Received 

All issues raised in this sunset review 

are addressed in the accompanying 

Issues and Decision Memorandum, 

which is dated concurrently with, and 

hereby adopted by, this notice.7 The 

issues discussed in the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum are listed in the 

appendix to this notice. 

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).

at https://access.trade.gov. In addition, a

Decision Memorandum can be accessed

Final Results of Sunset Review 

Pursuant to sections 751(c)(1) and 

752(b) of the Act, Commerce determines 

that revocation of the Order would be 

likely to lead to the continuation or 

recurrence of countervailable subsidies 

at the rates listed below:
