Chlorinated Isocyanurates From Spain and the People's Republic of 
China: Continuation of Antidumping Duty Order

AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.

SUMMARY: As a result of the determinations by the Department of 
Commerce (``the Department'') and the International Trade Commission 
(``ITC'') that revocation of the antidumping duty orders on chlorinated 
isocyanurates (``chlorinated isos'') from Spain and the People's 
Republic of China (``PRC'') would be likely to lead to continuation or 
recurrence of dumping and of material injury to an industry in the 
United States, respectively, the Department is publishing notice of the 
continuation of these antidumping duty orders.

DATES: Effective Date: October 13, 2010.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Brandon Petelin, AD/CVD Operations, 
Office 8, Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue, NW., 
Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-8173.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 3, 2010, the Department published the 
notice of initiation of the first sunset reviews of the antidumping 
duty orders on chlorinated isos from Spain and the PRC, pursuant to 
section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``Act'').\1\

    \1\ See Initiation of Five-Year (``Sunset'') Review, 75 FR 23240 
(May 3, 2010); see also Notice of Antidumping Duty Order: 
Chlorinated Isocyanurates from the People's Republic of China, 70 FR 
36561 (June 24, 2005) (``PRC Order''); see also Chlorinated 
Isocyanurates from Spain: Notice of Antidumping Duty Order, 70 FR 
36562 (June 24, 2005) (``Spain Order'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Department conducted an expedited sunset review of these 
orders.\2\ As a result of its review, the Department found that 
revocation of the antidumping duty orders would likely lead to 
continuation or recurrence of dumping and, thus, notified the ITC of 
the magnitude of the margins likely to prevail if the orders were 
revoked.\3\

    On October 6, 2010, the ITC published its determination, pursuant 
to section 751(c) of the Act, which stated that revocation of the 
antidumping duty orders on chlorinated isos from Spain and the PRC 
would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material 
injury to an industry in the United States within a reasonably 
foreseeable time.\4\

Scope of the Orders

    The products covered by the orders are 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 (Cl<INF>3</INF>(NCO)<INF>3</INF>), 
(2) sodium dichloroisocyanurate (dihydrate) 
(NaCl<INF>2</INF>(NCO)<INF>3</INF>(2H<INF>2</INF>O)), and (3) sodium 
dichloroisocyanurate (anhydrous) (NaCl<INF>2</INF>(NCO)<INF>3</INF>). 
Chlorinated isos are available in powder, granular, and tableted forms. 
The orders cover 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 3808.94.50.00 of the 
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (``HTSUS'').\5\ 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 orders is dispositive.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ The Spain Order currently covers HTSUS subheadings 
2933.69.6015, 2933.69.6021, and 2933.69.6050, while the PRC Order 
currently covers HTSUS subheadings 2933.69.6015, 2933.69.6021, 
2933.69.6050, 3808.40.50, 3808.50.40 and 3808.94.50.00.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Continuation of the Orders

    As a result of the determinations by the Department and the ITC 
that revocation of the antidumping duty orders would be likely to lead 
to continuation or recurrence of dumping and material injury to an 
industry in the United States, pursuant to section 751(d)(2) of the 
Act, the Department hereby orders the continuation of these antidumping 
duty orders on chlorinated isos from Spain and the PRC. U.S. Customs 
and Border Protection will continue to collect antidumping duty cash 
deposits at the rates in effect at the time of entry for all imports of 
subject merchandise.

    The effective date of continuation of these orders will be the date 
of publication in the Federal Register of this notice of continuation. 
Pursuant to section 751(c)(2) of the Act, the Department intends to 
initiate the next five-year review of these orders not later than 30 
days prior to the fifth anniversary of the effective date of 
continuation. These five-year (sunset) reviews and this notice are in 
accordance with sections 751(c) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR
