As a result of our Preliminary 

Determination, and pursuant to section 

703(d) of the Act, we instructed U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’) 

to suspend liquidation of all entries of 

calcium hypochlorite from the PRC that 

were entered or withdrawn from 

warehouse, for consumption on or after 

May 27, 2014, the date of publication of 

the Preliminary Determination in the 

Federal Register. In accordance with 

section 703(d) of the Act, we issued 

instructions to CBP to discontinue the 

suspension of liquidation for 

countervailing duty (‘‘CVD’’) purposes 

for subject merchandise entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, on or after 

September 24, 2014, but to continue the 

suspension of liquidation of all entries 

from May 27, 2014, through September 

23, 2014. 

If the U.S. International Trade 

Commission (‘‘ITC’’) issues a final 

affirmative injury determination, we 

will issue a CVD order and reinstate the 

suspension of liquidation under section 

706(a) of the Act and will require a cash 

deposit of estimated CVDs for such 

entries of merchandise in the amounts 

indicated above. If the ITC determines 

that material injury, or threat of material 

injury, does not exist, this proceeding 

will be terminated and all estimated 

duties deposited or securities posted as 

a result of the suspension of liquidation 

will be refunded or canceled. 

ITC Notification 

In accordance with section 705(d) of 

the Act, we will notify the ITC of our 

determination. In addition, we are 

making available to the ITC all nonprivileged and non-proprietary 

information related to this investigation. 

We will allow the ITC access to all 

privileged and business proprietary 

information in our files, provided the 

ITC confirms it will not disclose such 

information, either publicly or under an 

administrative protective order 

(‘‘APO’’), without the written consent of 

the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement 

and Compliance. 

Return or Destruction of Proprietary 

Information 

In the event that the ITC issues a final 

negative injury determination, this 

notice will serve as the only reminder 

to parties subject to an APO of their 

responsibility concerning the 

destruction of proprietary information 

disclosed under APO in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely 

written notification of the return/

destruction of APO materials or 

conversion to judicial protective order is 

hereby requested. Failure to comply 

with the regulations and terms of an 

APO is a violation that is subject to 

sanction. 

This determination is published 

pursuant to sections 705(d) and 777(i) of 

the Act. 

Dated: December 8, 2014.

Appendix I—Scope of the Investigation 

The product covered by this investigation 

is calcium hypochlorite, regardless of form 

(e.g., powder, tablet (compressed), crystalline 

(granular), or in liquid solution), whether or 

not blended with other materials, containing 

at least 10 percent available chlorine 

measured by actual weight. The scope also 

includes bleaching powder and hemibasic 

calcium hypochlorite. 

Calcium hypochlorite has the general 

chemical formulation Ca(OCl)2, but may also 

be sold in a more dilute form as bleaching 

powder with the chemical formulation, 

Ca(OCl)2.CaCl2.Ca(OH)2.2H2O or hemibasic 

calcium hypochlorite with the chemical 

formula of 2Ca(OCl)2.Ca(OH)2 or 

Ca(OCl)2.0.5Ca(OH)2. Calcium hypochlorite 

has a Chemical Abstract Service (‘‘CAS’’) 

registry number of 7778–54–3, and a U.S. 

Environmental Protection Agency (‘‘EPA) 

Pesticide Code (‘‘PC’’) Number of 014701. 

The subject calcium hypochlorite has an 

International Maritime Dangerous Goods 

(‘‘IMDG’’) code of Class 5.1 UN 1748, 2880, 

or 2208 or Class 5.1/8 UN 3485, 3486, or 

3487. 

Calcium hypochlorite is currently 

classifiable under the subheading 

2828.10.0000 of the Harmonized Tariff 

Schedule of the United States (‘‘HTSUS’’). 

The subheading covers commercial calcium 

hypochlorite and other calcium hypochlorite. 

When tableted or blended with other 

materials, calcium hypochlorite may be 

entered under other tariff classifications, 

such as 3808.94.5000 and 3808.99.9500, 

which cover disinfectants and similar 

products. While the HTSUS subheadings, the 

CAS registry number, the U.S. EPA PC 

number, and the IMDG codes are provided

Comment 1. 

Period of Investigation 

The period of investigation (‘‘POI’’) is 

April 1, 2013, through September 30, 

2013. This period corresponds to the 

two most recent fiscal quarters prior to 

the month of the filing of the petition, 

which was December 2013.3

Scope Comments 

In accordance with the preamble to 

the Department’s regulations, and as 

noted in the Initiation, we set aside a 

period of time for parties to raise issues 

regarding product coverage, and 

encouraged all parties to submit 

comments within 20 calendar days of 

publication of the Initiation.4 We 

received no comments concerning the 

scope of this investigation. 

Scope of the Investigation 

The product covered by this 

investigation is calcium hypochlorite, 

regardless of form (e.g., powder, tablet 

(compressed), crystalline (granular), or 

in liquid solution), whether or not 

blended with other materials, 

containing at least 10% available 

chlorine measured by actual weight. 

The scope also includes bleaching 

powder and hemibasic calcium 

hypochlorite. 

Calcium hypochlorite has the general 

chemical formulation Ca(OCl)2, but may 

also be sold in a more dilute form as 

bleaching powder with the chemical 

formulation, 

Ca(OCl)2.CaCl2.Ca(OH)2.2H2O or 

hemibasic calcium hypochlorite with 

the chemical formula of 

2Ca(OCl)2.Ca(OH)2 or 

Ca(OCl)2.0.5Ca(OH)2. Calcium 

hypochlorite has a Chemical Abstract 

Service (‘‘CAS’’) registry number of 

7778–54–3, and a U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency (‘‘EPA) Pesticide 

Code (‘‘PC’’) Number of 014701. The 

subject calcium hypochlorite has an 

International Maritime Dangerous 

Goods (‘‘IMDG’’) code of Class 5.1 UN 

1748, 2880, or 2208 or Class 5.1/8 UN 

3485, 3486, or 3487. 

Calcium hypochlorite is currently 

classifiable under the subheading 

2828.10.0000 of the Harmonized Tariff 

Schedule of the United States 

(‘‘HTSUS’’). The subheading covers 

commercial calcium hypochlorite and 

other calcium hypochlorite. When 

tableted or blended with other 

materials, calcium hypochlorite may be 

entered under other tariff classifications, 

such as 3808.94.5000 and 3808.99.9500, 

which cover disinfectants and similar 

products. While the HTSUS 

subheadings, the CAS registry number, 

the U.S. EPA PC number, and the IMDG 

codes are provided for convenience and 

customs purposes, the written 

description of the scope of this 

investigation is dispositive. 

Separate Rate 

In the Preliminary Determination, we 

determined that none of the exporters 

subject to this investigation 

demonstrated their eligibility for a 

separate rate and as such are part of the 

PRC-wide entity.5 No party commented 

on this determination. As a result, for 

this final determination, we are 

continuing to treat these exporters as 

part of the PRC-wide entity and subject 

to the PRC-wide rate. 

PRC-Wide Entity 

In the Preliminary Determination, the 

Department assigned to the PRC-wide 

entity a rate of 210.52 percent based 

upon adverse facts available (‘‘AFA’’).6

Given that the Department did not 

receive any comments from interested 

parties, for this final determination, the 

Department continues to assign an AFA 

rate of 210.52 percent to the PRC-wide 

entity, which includes China 

Petrochemical International (Wuhan) 

Co., Ltd., Tianjin JinBin International 

Trade Co., Ltd., and Wuhan Rui Sunny 

Chemical Co., Ltd.7

Combination Rates 

In the Initiation Notice, the 

Department stated that it would 

calculate combination rates for the 

respondents that are eligible for a 

separate rate in this investigation.8

Policy Bulletin 05.1 sets forth this 

practice.9 However, for the final 

determination, we continue to find that 

all parties subject to this investigation 

are part of the PRC-wide entity, to 

which we do not assign a separate 

combination rate.10

Final Determination Margins 

The final weighted-average 

antidumping duty margin percentage is 

as follows:

Disclosure 

Normally, the Department discloses to 

interested parties the calculations 

performed within five days after the 

date of publication of the notice of final 

determination in the Federal Register, 

in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). 

However, because there are no changes 

to our Preliminary Determination, and 

because we continue to apply AFA to 

each of the mandatory respondents in 

this investigation, in accordance with 

section 776 of the Act, there are no final 

calculations to disclose. 

Continuation of Suspension of 

Liquidation 

In accordance with section 

735(c)(l)(B) of the Act, the Department 

will instruct U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection (‘‘CBP’’) to continue to 

suspend liquidation of all appropriate 

entries of calcium hypochlorite from the 

PRC, as described in the ‘‘Scope of the 

Investigation’’ section, which were 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after July 25, 

2014, the date of publication of the 

Preliminary Determination in the 

Federal Register. Further, pursuant to 

19 CFR 351.205(d), the Department will 

instruct CBP to require a cash deposit 11

equal to the estimated amount by which 

the normal value exceeds the U.S. price, 

adjusted where appropriate for export 

subsidies and estimated domestic 

subsidy pass-through,12 as follows: (1) 

The rates for China Petrochemical 

International (Wuhan) Co., Ltd., Tianjin 

JinBin International Trade Co., Ltd., and 

Wuhan Rui Sunny Chemical Co., Ltd. 

will be the PRC-wide rate we have

Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 240 / Monday, December 15, 2014 / Notices 74067 

13The following subsidy programs in the final 

determination of the concurrent countervailing duty 

investigation are export subsidies: Discounted 

Loans for Export-Oriented Enterprises (1.06%), 

Export Credits from China’s Export-Import Bank 

(1.06%), Export Credit Insurance from China Export 

and Credit Insurance Corporation (Sinosure) 

(1.06%), Foreign Trade Development Fund (0.55%), 

Famous Brands Program (0.55%), Provision of 

Shipping for LTAR (5.34%). See Calcium 

Hypochlorite From the People’s Republic of China:

Determination, dated concurrently with this notice, 

and accompanying Issues and Decision 

Memorandum at 7. 

determined in this final determination; 

(2) if the exporter is not a firm identified 

in this investigation but the producer is, 

the rate will be the rate established for 

the producer of calcium hypochlorite 

from the PRC; (3) the rate for all other 

producers or exporters will be 210.52 

percent, as discussed in the ‘‘PRCWide’’ section, above. In this LTFV 

investigation, with regard to PRC-wide 

entity, export subsidies constitute 9.62 

percent 13 of the final calculated 

countervailing duty rate in the 

concurrent countervailing duty 

investigation, and, thus, we will offset 

the PRC-wide rate of 210.52 percent by 

the countervailing duty rate attributable 

to export subsidies (i.e., 9.62 percent) to 

calculate the cash deposit rate for this 

LTFV investigation. These instructions 

suspending liquidation will remain in 

effect until further notice. 

U.S. International Trade Commission 

(‘‘ITC’’) Notification 

In accordance with section 735(d) of 

the Act, we notified the ITC of our final 

affirmative determination of sales at 

LTFV. As the Department’s final 

determination in this proceeding is 

affirmative, in accordance with section 

735(b)(2) of the Act, the ITC will 

determine, no later than 45 days after 

our final determination, whether the 

domestic industry in the United States 

is materially injured, or threatened with 

material injury, by reason of imports of 

calcium hypochlorite from the PRC, or 

sales (or the likelihood of sales) for 

importation of calcium hypochlorite 

from the PRC. If the ITC determines that 

such injury does not exist, we will 

terminate this proceeding and we will 

refund or cancel all securities posted. 

However, if the ITC determines that 

such injury does exist, the Department 

will issue an antidumping duty order 

directing CBP to assess, upon further 

instruction by the Department, 

antidumping duties on all imports of 

calcium hypochlorite from the PRC 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after the effective 

date of the suspension of liquidation. 

Return or Destruction of Proprietary 

Information 

This notice also serves as a reminder 

to parties subject to administrative 

protective order (‘‘APO’’) of their 

responsibility concerning the 

destruction of proprietary information 

disclosed under APO in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). We hereby 

request, timely written notification of 

return or destruction of APO materials 

or conversion to judicial protective 

order. Failure to comply with the 

regulations and the terms of an APO is 

a sanctionable violation. 

This determination is issued and 

published in accordance with sections 

735(d) and 777(i)(l) of the Act.

AGENCY: International Trade 

Administration, Department of 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Notification of Annual 

Quantitative Limit on Certain Apparel 

under HOPE. 

SUMMARY: HOPE provides for duty-free 

treatment for certain apparel articles 

imported directly from Haiti. One of the 

preferences under HOPE is known as 

the ‘‘value-added’’ program, which 

requires that apparel meet a minimum 

threshold percentage of value added in 

Haiti, the United States, and/or certain 

beneficiary countries. The program is 

subject to a quantitative limitation, 

which is calculated as a percentage of 

total apparel imports into the United 

States for each 12-month annual period. 

For the annual period from December 

20, 2014 through December 19, 2015, 

the quantity of imports eligible for 

preferential treatment under the valueadded program is 332,915,916 square 

meters equivalent.

Act (‘‘CBERA’’), as amended by the Haitian 

Hemispheric Opportunity Through

(‘‘HOPE’’), Title V of the Tax Relief and 

Health Care Act of 2006 and the Food, 

Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008

Act of 2010 (‘‘HELP’’); and implemented by

13659 (March 22, 2007), and No. 8596, 75 FR 

68153 (November 4, 2010). 

HOPE provides for duty-free 

treatment for certain apparel articles 

imported directly from Haiti. Section 

213A(b)(1)(B) of HOPE outlines the 

requirements for certain apparel articles 

to qualify for duty-free treatment under 

a ‘‘value-added’’ program. In order to 

qualify for duty-free treatment, apparel 

articles must be wholly assembled, or 

knit-to-shape, in Haiti from any 

combination of fabrics, fabric 

components, components knit-to-shape, 

and yarns, as long as the sum of the cost 

or value of materials produced in Haiti 

or one or more countries, as described 

in HOPE, or any combination thereof, 

plus the direct costs of processing 

operations performed in Haiti or one or 

more countries, as described in HOPE, 

or any combination thereof, is not less 

than an applicable percentage of the 

declared customs value of such apparel 

articles. Pursuant to HELP, the 

applicable percentage for the period 

December 20, 2014 through December 

19, 2015, is 50 percent. 

For every twelve month period 

following the effective date of HOPE, 

duty-free treatment under the valueadded program is subject to a 

quantitative limitation. HOPE provides 

that the quantitative limitation will be 

recalculated for each subsequent 12- 

month period. Section 213A(b)(1)(C) of 

HOPE, as amended by HOPE II and 

HELP, requires that, for the twelvemonth period beginning on December 

20, 2014, the quantitative limitation for 

qualifying apparel imported from Haiti 

under the value-added program will be 

an amount equivalent to 1.25 percent of 

the aggregate square meter equivalent of 

all apparel articles imported into the 

United States in the most recent 12- 

month period for which data are 

available. The aggregate square meters 

equivalent of all apparel articles 

imported into the United States is 

derived from the set of Harmonized 

System lines listed in the Annex to the 

World Trade Organization Agreement 

on Textiles and Clothing (‘‘ATC’’), and
