**SUMMARY:**

As a result of these expedited sunset reviews, the Department of Commerce (Commerce) finds that revocation of the antidumping duty (AD) orders on chlorinated isocyanurates (chlorinated isos) from Spain and the People's Republic of China (China) would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping at the levels indicated in the “Final Results of Sunset Review” section of this notice.

**DATES:**

Applicable January 31, 2022.

**FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:**

Daniel Alexander, AD/CVD Operations, Office VII, Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-4313.

**Scope of the AD Orders**

The products covered by the *AD Orders* are chlorinated isos, which are derivatives of cyanuric acid, described as chlorinated s-triazine triones. The *AD Orders* cover all chlorinated isos. Chlorinated isos are currently classifiable under subheadings 2933.69.6015, 2933.69.6021, 2933.69.6050, 3808.40.5000, 3808.50.4000 and 3808.94.5000 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS).

A full description of the scope of the *AD Orders* is contained in the Issues and Decision Memorandum. [^7]
