---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ For a complete description of the Scope of the Order, see

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Analysis of Comments Received

    All issues raised in the parties' briefs are addressed in the 
Issues and Decision Memorandum. A list of the issues addressed is 
attached to this notice at Appendix I. The Issues and Decision 
Memorandum is a public document and is on file electronically via 
Enforcement and Compliance's Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS). ACCESS is available to 
registered users at http://access.trade.gov and in the Central Records 
Unit, Room B8024 of the main Department building. In addition, a 
complete version of the Issues and Decision Memorandum can be accessed 
directly at http://enforcement.trade.gov/frn. The signed Issues and 
Decision Memorandum and the electronic version of the Issues and 
Decision Memorandum are identical in content.

Changes Since the Preliminary Results

    Based on case briefs, rebuttal briefs, and all supporting 
documentation, we made changes from the Preliminary Results. For Heze, 
the Department has corrected the average useful life range from 9 to 10 
years. The Department also found the Export Buyer's Credit Program to 
be countervailable and applied an adverse inference in a post-
preliminary decision memorandum.\8\ However, the Department has 
adjusted the adverse inference rate in these final results.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ See Memorandum from Gary Taverman, Deputy Assistant 
Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Operations to 
Ronald Lorentzen, Acting Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and 
Compliance, ``Countervailing Duty Administrative Review of 
Chlorinated Isocyanurates from the People's Republic of China: Post-
Preliminary Results Decision Memorandum'' (May 31, 2017).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Methodology

    The Department conducted this review in accordance with section 
751(a)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). For each 
of the subsidy programs found countervailable, we find that there is a 
subsidy, i.e., a government-provided financial contribution that gives 
rise to a benefit to the recipient, and that the subsidy is 
specific.\9\ The Issues and Decision Memorandum contains a full 
description of the methodology underlying the Department's conclusions, 
including any determination that relied upon the use of adverse facts 
available pursuant to sections 776(a) and (b) of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ See sections 771(5)(B) and (D) of the Act regarding 
financial contribution; section 771(5)(E) of the Act regarding 
benefit; and section 771(5A) of the Act regarding specificity.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Partial Rescission of Administrative Review

    As noted in the Preliminary Results, the Department timely received 
a no-shipment response from Kangtai. The Department stated its 
intention to rescind the review with respect to this company. The 
Department inquired with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 
whether Kangtai had shipped merchandise to the United States during the 
POR, and CBP provided no evidence to contradict the claims of no 
shipments made by this company. Accordingly, the Department is 
rescinding the administrative review on Kangtai, pursuant to 19 CFR 
351.213(d)(3).

Final Results of Review

    In accordance with 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4)(i), we determine the 
following net subsidy rates for the 2014 administrative review:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                            Net subsidy

Hebei Jiheng Chemical Co., Ltd..........................           21.76
Heze Huayi Chemical Co., Ltd............................            1.91
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Assessment Rates

    The Department intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP 15 
days after the date of publication of these final results of review, to 
liquidate shipments of subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from 
warehouse, for consumption on or after February 4, 2014, through 
December 31, 2014, at the ad valorem rates listed above.

Cash Deposit Instructions

    In accordance with section 751(a)(1) of the Act, the Department 
intends to instruct CBP to collect cash deposits of estimated 
countervailing duties in the amounts shown for each of the respective 
companies listed above. These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, 
shall remain in effect until further notice.

Administrative Protective Orders

    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). 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 sanctionable 
violation.
    We are issuing and publishing these results in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: June 9, 2017.

Acting Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
