SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The petitioner to this investigation is 

Arch Chemicals Inc. (‘‘Petitioner’’). This 

investigation covers 24 government 

programs. The Department selected 

three mandatory respondents; Hubei 

Dinglong Chemical Co., Ltd. (‘‘Hubei 

Dinglong’’), W&W Marketing 

Corporation (‘‘W&W Marketing’’), and 

Tianjin Jinbin International Trade Co., 

Ltd. (‘‘Tianjin Jinbin’’). All three 

mandatory respondents refused to 

participate in this investigation. 

Period of Investigation 

The period of investigation for which 

we are measuring subsidies is January 1, 

2012, through December 31, 2012. 

Case History 

The events that have occurred since 

the Department published the 

Preliminary Determination on May 27, 

2014,1 are discussed in the 

Memorandum to Paul Piquado, 

Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and 

Compliance, ‘‘Issues and Decision 

Memorandum for the Final 

Determination of Calcium Hypochlorite 

from the People’s Republic of China’’ 

(‘‘Decision Memorandum’’), which is 

hereby adopted by this notice.2

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. For a complete 

description of the scope of the 

investigation, see Appendix I to this 

notice. 

Analysis of Subsidy Programs and 

Comments Received 

The subsidy programs under 

investigation and the issues raised in 

the case and rebuttal briefs submitted by 

parties in this investigation are 

addressed in the Decision 

Memorandum, dated concurrently with 

this notice. A list of the issues that 

parties raised and to which we 

responded in the Decision 

Memorandum is attached to this notice 

as Appendix II. The Decision 

Memorandum is a public document and 

is on file electronically via ACCESS. In 

addition, a complete version of the 

Decision Memorandum can be accessed 

directly on the Internet at http://

enforcement.trade.gov/frn/index.html. 

The signed and the electronic versions 

of this memorandum are identical in 

content. 

Use of Facts Otherwise Available, 

Including Adverse Inferences 

For purposes of this final 

determination, we relied on facts 

available and applied an adverse 

inference, in accordance with sections 

776(a) and (b) of the Tariff Act of 1930, 

as amended (‘‘the Act’’), with regard to 

(1) the existence of a financial 

contribution, benefit, and specificity for 

the alleged subsidy programs and (2) the 

net subsidy rate assigned to Hubei 

Dinglong, W&W Marketing, and Tianjin 

Jinbin. A full discussion of our decision 

to rely on adverse facts available is 

presented in the Decision Memorandum 

under the section ‘‘Use of Facts 

Otherwise Available and Adverse 

Inferences.’’ 

Suspension of Liquidation 

In accordance with section 

705(c)(1)(B)(i) of the Act, we have 

calculated individual rates for Hubei 

Dinglong, W&W Marketing, and Tianjin 

Jinbin. Section 705(c)(5)(A)(i) of the Act 

states that for companies not 

individually investigated, we will 

determine an ‘‘all-others’’ rate equal to 

the weighted average countervailable 

subsidy rates established for exporters 

and producers individually 

investigated, excluding any zero and de 

minimis countervailable rates, and any 

rates determined entirely under section 

776 of the Act. Section 705(c)(5)(A)(ii) 

of the Act states that if the 

countervailable subsidy rates for all 

exporters and producers individually 

investigated are zero or de minimis 

rates, or are determined entirely under 

section 776 of the Act, the Department 

may use any reasonable method to 

establish an all-others rate for exporters 

and producers not individually 

investigated, including averaging the 

weighted average countervailable 

subsidy rates determined for the 

exporters and producers individually 

investigated. As described above, all of 

the mandatory respondents’ subsidy 

rates were calculated entirely under 

section 776 of the Act. Therefore, we 

have resorted to ‘‘any reasonable 

method’’ to derive the ‘‘all-others’’ rate, 

as described under section 

705(c)(5)(A)(ii) of the Act. We are basing 

the ‘‘all-others’’ rate on the rate 

determined for the mandatory 

respondents, consistent with section 

705(c)(5)(A)(ii) of the Act.3 This issue is 

discussed in more detail in Comment 2 

of the Decision Memorandum. 

We determine the total estimated net 

countervailable subsidy rates to be: 

Producer/exporter 

Net subsidy ad 

valorem rate 

(percent) 

Hubei Dinglong Chemical 

Co., Ltd. ............................ 65.85 

W&W Marketing Corporation 65.85

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. 

Paul Piquado, 

Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and 

Compliance. 

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 

for convenience and customs purposes, the 

written description of the scope of this 

investigation is dispositive.
