SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On January 30, 2015, Commerce published the AD order on calcium
hypochlorite from China.\1\ On June 2, 2024, Commerce published in the
Federal Register the notice of initiation of the second sunset review
of the Order, pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (the Act).\2\ On June 17, 2025, Commerce received a timely
notice of intent to participate from Innovative Water Care, LLC (IWC),
a domestic interested party, within the 15-day deadline specified in
[[Page 48048]]
19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i).\3\ IWC claimed interested party status under
section 771(9)(C) of the Act, as a U.S. producer of a domestic like
product.\4\ On July 1, 2025, we notified the U.S. International Trade
Commission (ITC) that we had received a notice of intent to participate
from the domestic interested party.\5\
