SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On July 9, 2024, Commerce published in the Federal Register the 
Preliminary Results of the 2022-2023 administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on chlorinated isos from Spain.\1\ On July 22, 
2024, Commerce tolled certain deadlines in this administrative 
proceeding by seven days.\2\ On October 31, 2024, Commerce extended the 
deadline for the final results of review until January 10, 2025.\3\ 
Additionally, on December 9, 2024, Commerce tolled the deadline to 
issue the final results in this administrative review by 90 days.\4\ 
Accordingly, the deadline for these final results is now April 10, 
2025.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Chlorinated Isocyanurates from Spain: Preliminary 
Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review; 2022-2023, 89 FR 
56295 (July 9, 2024) (Preliminary Results), and accompanying 
Preliminary Decision Memorandum (PDM).
    \2\ See Memorandum, ``Tolling of Deadlines for Antidumping and 
Countervailing Duty Proceedings,'' dated July 22, 2024 (barcode 
ACCESS code 4605486-01, dated July 29, 2024).
    \3\ See Memorandum, ``Extension of Deadline for Final Results of 
Antidumping Duty Administrative Review,'' dated October 31, 2024.
    \4\ See Memorandum, ``Tolling of Deadlines for Antidumping and 
Countervailing Duty Proceedings,'' dated December 9, 2024.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    We invited interested parties to comment on the Preliminary 
Results; \5\ however, no interested party submitted comments. 
Accordingly, the final results remain unchanged from the Preliminary 
Results, and thus, there are no decision memoranda accompanying this 
notice. Commerce conducted this administrative review in accordance 
with section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).

    \5\ See Preliminary Results, 89 FR at 56296.

Antidumping Duty Order, 70 FR 36562 (June 24, 2005) (Order).

    The products covered by the Order are chlorinated isos from 
China.\7\

Final Results of Review

    In the Preliminary Results, we calculated weighted-average dumping 
margins for
    Ercros S.A. (Ercros) and Electroquimica de Hernani, S.A. (EHER) 
that are zero, and we did not calculate any margins which are not zero, 
de minimis, or determined entirely on the basis of facts available. 
Therefore, consistent with section 735(c)(5)(B) of the Act, in the 
Preliminary Results we applied to Industrias Quimicas Tamar S.L. 
(Industrias Quimicas Tamar), the company not selected for individual 
examination in this review, a margin of zero percent. We received no 
comments with respect to our preliminary finding. Therefore, for these 
final results, we continue to determine the following weighted-average 
dumping margins for the period June 1, 2022, through May 31, 2023:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                               Weighted-
                                                                average
                    Manufacturer/exporter                       dumping
                                                                margin
                                                               (percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ercros S.A..................................................        0.00
Electroquimica de Hernani, S.A..............................        0.00
Industrias Quimicas Tamar S.L...............................        0.00
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Disclosure

    Normally, Commerce will disclose to the parties in a proceeding the 
calculations performed in connection with the final results within five 
days of any public announcement or, if there is no public announcement, 
within five days of the date of publication of the notice of final 
results in the Federal Register, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). 
Because Commerce received no comments and therefore, has not modified 
its analysis or calculations from the Preliminary Results,\8\ there are 
no new calculations to disclose for these final results of review in 
accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ See Preliminary Results.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Assessment Rates

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.212(b)(1), Commerce has determined in these final results of this 
review, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, 
antidumping duties on all appropriate entries of subject merchandise 
during the POR.
    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), we calculated importer-specific 
ad valorem duty assessment rates based on the ratio of the total amount 
of dumping calculated for examined sales to each importer to the total 
entered value of those sales. Where an importer-specific assessment 
rate is zero or de minimis within the meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1), 
we will instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries without 
regard to antidumping duties.
    In accordance with Commerce's ``automatic assessment'' practice, 
for entries of subject merchandise that entered the United States 
during the POR that were produced by each respondent for which it did 
not know that its merchandise was destined to the United States, 
Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed entries at the all-
others rate (i.e., 24.83 percent),\9\ if there is no rate for the 
intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction.\10\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ See Order.
    \10\ For a full discussion of this practice, see Antidumping and 
Countervailing Duty Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 
68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier 
than 35 days after the date of publication of these final results of 
review in the Federal Register. 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

    The following cash deposit requirements will be effective for all 
shipments of chlorinated isos from Spain entered, or withdrawn from 
warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date of this 
notice in the Federal Register, as provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of 
the Act: (1) the cash deposit rate for the companies under review will 
be equal to the weighted-average dumping margin listed in the ``Final 
Results of Review'' section above (except, if the rate is zero or de 
minimis, no cash deposit will be required); (2) for merchandise that 
was exported by a

[[Page 8924]]

company that is not under review and the company has a company-specific 
cash deposit rate from a completed segment of this proceeding, the cash 
deposit rate will continue to be the company-specific cash deposit rate 
from a completed segment of the proceeding that is currently applicable 
to the company; (3) if the exporter of the subject merchandise was not 
covered by this review or a previously completed segment of this 
proceeding, but the producer of the subject merchandise was covered, 
then the cash deposit rate will be equal to the company-specific cash 
deposit rate from a completed segment of this proceeding that is 
currently applicable to the producer of the subject merchandise; and, 
(4) if neither the exporter nor the producer of the subject merchandise 
was covered by this review or a previously completed segment of this 
proceeding, then the cash deposit rate will be 24.83 percent ad 
valorem, the all-others rate established in the less than fair value 
investigation.\11\ These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall 
remain in effect until further notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ See Order.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Notification to Importers

    This notice also serves as a final reminder to importers of their 
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate 
regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation 
of the relevant entries during the POR. Failure to comply with this 
requirement could result in Commerce's presumption that reimbursement 
of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of double 
antidumping duties.

Administrative Protective Order

    This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to an 
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information 
disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), which 
continues to govern business proprietary information in this segment of 
the proceeding. Timely written notification of the return or 
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 subject to sanction.

Notification to Interested Parties

    We are issuing and publishing these final results of administrative 
review in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act, and 
19 CFR 351.221(b)(5).

    Dated: January 28, 2025.

Acting Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
