SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background.--On June 24, 2005, the 
Department of Commerce issued antidumping duty orders on imports of 
chlorinated isocyanurates from China and Spain (70 FR 36561). Following 
the five-year reviews by Commerce and the Commission, effective October 
13, 2010, Commerce issued a continuation of the antidumping duty orders 
on imports of chlorinated isocyanurates from China and Spain (75 FR 
62764). The Commission is now conducting second five-year reviews 
pursuant to section 751(c) of the Act, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1675(c)), 
to determine whether revocation of the orders would be likely to lead 
to continuation or recurrence of material injury to the domestic 
industry within a reasonably foreseeable time. Provisions concerning 
the conduct of this proceeding may be found in the Commission's Rules 
of Practice and Procedure at 19 CFR parts 201, subparts A and B and 19 
CFR part 207, subparts A and F. The Commission will assess the adequacy 
of interested party responses to this notice of institution to 
determine whether to conduct full or expedited reviews. The 
Commission's determinations in any expedited reviews will be based on 
the facts available, which may include information provided in response 
to this notice.
    Definitions.--The following definitions apply to these reviews:
    (1) Subject Merchandise is the class or kind of merchandise that is 
within the scope of the five-year reviews, as defined by the Department 
of Commerce.
    (2) The Subject Countries in these reviews are China and Spain.
    (3) The Domestic Like Product is the domestically produced product 
or products which are like, or in the absence of like, most similar in 
characteristics and uses with, the Subject Merchandise. In its original 
determinations and its expedited first five-year review determinations, 
the Commission defined a single Domestic Like Product as all 
chlorinated isocyanurates, coextensive with Commerce's scope.
    (4) The Domestic Industry is the U.S. producers as a whole of the 
Domestic Like Product, or those producers whose collective output of 
the Domestic Like Product constitutes a major proportion of the total 
domestic production of the product. In its original determinations, the 
Commission defined the Domestic Industry as all of the domestic 
integrated producers of chlorinated isocyanurates. The Commission was 
evenly divided in the original determinations with respect to whether 
or not to include those companies that only tablet and repackage 
chlorinated isocyanurates in the domestic industry (``tableters''). 
Three Commissioners found that tableters did not engage in sufficient 
production-related activity to qualify as domestic producers and three 
Commissioners found that they did. In its expedited first five-year 
review determinations, the Commission defined the Domestic Industry as 
all of the domestic integrated producers of chlorinated isocyanurates, 
excluding tableters. Two Commissioners found that the Domestic Industry 
includes tableters.
    (5) An Importer is any person or firm engaged, either directly or 
through a

[[Page 52790]]

parent company or subsidiary, in importing the Subject Merchandise into 
the United States from a foreign manufacturer or through its selling 
agent.
    Participation in the proceeding and public service list.--Persons, 
including industrial users of the Subject Merchandise and, if the 
merchandise is sold at the retail level, representative consumer 
organizations, wishing to participate in the proceeding as parties must 
file an entry of appearance with the Secretary to the Commission, as 
provided in Sec.  201.11(b)(4) of the Commission's rules, no later than 
21 days after publication of this notice in the Federal Register. The 
Secretary will maintain a public service list containing the names and 
addresses of all persons, or their representatives, who are parties to 
the proceeding.
    Former Commission employees who are seeking to appear in Commission 
five-year reviews are advised that they may appear in a review even if 
they participated personally and substantially in the corresponding 
underlying original investigation or an earlier review of the same 
underlying investigation. The Commission's designated agency ethics 
official has advised that a five-year review is not the same particular 
matter as the underlying original investigation, and a five-year review 
is not the same particular matter as an earlier review of the same 
underlying investigation for purposes of 18 U.S.C. 207, the post 
employment statute for Federal employees, and Commission rule 201.15(b) 
(19 CFR 201.15(b)), 79 FR 3246 (Jan. 17, 2014), 73 FR 24609 (May 5, 
2008). Consequently, former employees are not required to seek 
Commission approval to appear in a review under Commission rule 19 CFR 
201.15, even if the corresponding underlying original investigation or 
an earlier review of the same underlying investigation was pending when 
they were Commission employees. For further ethics advice on this 
matter, contact Carol McCue Verratti, Deputy Agency Ethics Official, at 
202-205-3088.
    Limited disclosure of business proprietary information (BPI) under 
an administrative protective order (APO) and APO service list.--
Pursuant to Sec.  207.7(a) of the Commission's rules, the Secretary 
will make BPI submitted in this proceeding available to authorized 
applicants under the APO issued in the proceeding, provided that the 
application is made no later than 21 days after publication of this 
notice in the Federal Register. Authorized applicants must represent 
interested parties, as defined in 19 U.S.C. 1677(9), who are parties to 
the proceeding. A separate service list will be maintained by the 
Secretary for those parties authorized to receive BPI under the APO.
    Certification.--Pursuant to Sec.  207.3 of the Commission's rules, 
any person submitting information to the Commission in connection with 
this proceeding must certify that the information is accurate and 
complete to the best of the submitter's knowledge. In making the 
certification, the submitter will be deemed to consent, unless 
otherwise specified, for the Commission, its employees, and contract 
personnel to use the information provided in any other reviews or 
investigations of the same or comparable products which the Commission 
conducts under Title VII of the Act, or in internal audits and 
investigations relating to the programs and operations of the 
Commission pursuant to 5 U.S.C. Appendix 3.
    Written submissions.--Pursuant to Sec.  207.61 of the Commission's 
rules, each interested party response to this notice must provide the 
information specified below. The deadline for filing such responses is 
October 1, 2015. Pursuant to Sec.  207.62(b) of the Commission's rules, 
eligible parties (as specified in Commission rule 207.62(b)(1)) may 
also file comments concerning the adequacy of responses to the notice 
of institution and whether the Commission should conduct expedited or 
full reviews. The deadline for filing such comments is November 16, 
2015. All written submissions must conform with the provisions of 
Sec. Sec.  201.8 and 207.3 of the Commission's rules and any 
submissions that contain BPI must also conform with the requirements of 
Sec. Sec.  201.6 and 207.7 of the Commission's rules. Please be aware 
that the Commission's rules with respect to filing have changed. The 
most recent amendments took effect on July 25, 2014. See 79 FR 35920 
(June 25, 2014), and the revised Commission Handbook on E-filing, 
available from the Commission's Web site at http://edis.usitc.gov. 
Also, in accordance with Sec. Sec.  201.16(c) and 207.3 of the 
Commission's rules, each document filed by a party to the proceeding 
must be served on all other parties to the proceeding (as identified by 
either the public or APO service list as appropriate), and a 
certificate of service must accompany the document (if you are not a 
party to the proceeding you do not need to serve your response).
    Inability to provide requested information.--Pursuant to Sec. Sec.  
207.61(c) of the Commission's rules, any interested party that cannot 
furnish the information requested by this notice in the requested form 
and manner shall notify the Commission at the earliest possible time, 
provide a full explanation of why it cannot provide the requested 
information, and indicate alternative forms in which it can provide 
equivalent information. If an interested party does not provide this 
notification (or the Commission finds the explanation provided in the 
notification inadequate) and fails to provide a complete response to 
this notice, the Commission may take an adverse inference against the 
party pursuant to section 776(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1677e(b)) in 
making its determinations in the reviews.
