SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On April 18, 1985, the Department published in the Federal Register
(50 FR 15470) the antidumping duty order on calcium hypochlorite from
Japan. On April 3, 1996, the Department published a notice of
``Opportunity to Request Administrative Review'' (61 FR 14739) of this
antidumping duty order for the period April 1, 1995 through March 31,
1996. On April 30, 1996, the petitioner, the Olin Corporation,
requested an administrative review for two Japanese producers/exporters
of calcium hypochlorite: Nankai Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. (Nankai)
and Tohoku Tosoh Chemical Co., Ltd. (Tosoh). We published a notice of
initiation of the review on these companies on May 24, 1996 (61 FR
26158).
Applicable Statute
Unless otherwise indicated, all citations to the statute are
references to the provisions effective January 1, 1995, the effective
date of the amendments made to the Tariff Act of 1930 (the Act) by the
Uruguay Round Agreements Act (URAA).
Scope of the Review
The merchandise covered by this administrative review is calcium
hypochlorite. This merchandise is currently classifiable under item
2828.10.00.00 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS). The HTS item
number is provided for convenience and Customs purposes. The written
description remains dispositive.
Termination of Administrative Review
Both Nankai and Tosoh responded that they had no shipments of the
subject merchandise during the POR. We confirmed this information for
both companies with the United States Customs Service. Therefore, in
accordance with our practice, we are terminating this administrative
review. See e.g., Polychloroprene Rubber from Japan: Final Results of
Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 61 FR 67318 (December 20,
1996). The cash deposit rates for these firms will continue to be the
rates established in the most recently completed administrative review.
See Calcium Hypochlorite from Japan: Final Results of Antidumping Duty

section 751(a)(1) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1675(a)(1)).
Dated: April 4, 1997.
