Barium Chloride From the People's Republic of China: Continuation
of Antidumping Duty Order
AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
DATES: Effective Date: June 28, 2010.
SUMMARY: As a result of the determinations by the Department of
Commerce (``Department'') and the International Trade Commission
(``ITC'') that revocation of the antidumping duty order on barium
chloride from the People's Republic of China (``PRC'') would likely
lead to a continuation or recurrence of dumping and material injury to
an industry in the United States, the Department is publishing a notice
of continuation of the antidumping duty order.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Melissa Blackledge, AD/CVD Operations,
Import Administration, International Trade Administration, U.S.
Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue, NW.,
Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-3518.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July 1, 2009, the Department published
the notice of initiation of the third sunset review of the antidumping
duty order on barium chloride from the PRC pursuant to section 751(c)
of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the Act''). See Initiation of
Five-year (``Sunset'') Review, 74 FR 31412 (July 1, 2009). As a result
of its review, the Department determined that revocation of the
antidumping duty order on barium chloride from the PRC would likely
lead to a continuation or recurrence of dumping and, therefore,
notified the ITC of the magnitude of the margins likely to prevail
should the order be revoked. See Barium Chloride From the People's
Republic of China: Final Results of Expedited Third Sunset Review of
Antidumping Duty Order, 74 FR 55814 (October 29, 2009).
On May 26, 2010, the ITC determined, pursuant to section 751(c) of
the Act, that revocation of the antidumping duty order on barium
chloride from the PRC would likely lead to a continuation or recurrence
of material injury to an industry in the United States within a
reasonably foreseeable time. See Barium Chloride From China, 75 FR
33824 (June 15, 2010), and Barium Chloride from China (Inv. No. 731-TA-
149 (Third Review), USITC Publication 4157 (June 2010)).
Scope of the Order
The merchandise covered by the order is barium chloride, a chemical
compound having the formulas BaCl2 or BaCl2-
2H2O, currently classifiable under item number 2827.39.45.00
of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (``HTSUS'').\1\
Although the HTSUS item number is provided for convenience and for

\1\ The scope reflects the HTSUS item number currently in
effect.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Continuation of the Order
As a result of these determinations by the Department and the ITC
that revocation of the antidumping duty order would likely lead to a
continuation or recurrence of dumping and material injury to an
industry in the United States, pursuant to section 751(d)(2) of the
Act, the Department hereby orders the continuation of the antidumping
order on barium chloride from the PRC. U.S. Customs and Border
Protection will continue to collect antidumping duty cash deposits at
the rates in effect at the time of entry for all imports of subject
merchandise.
The effective date of the continuation of the order will be the
date of publication in the Federal Register of this notice of
continuation. Pursuant to section 751(c)(2) of the Act, the Department
intends to initiate the next five-year review of the order not later
than 30 days prior to the fifth anniversary of the effective date of
continuation.
This five-year (sunset) review and this notice are in accordance
with section 751(c) of the Act and published pursuant to section
777(i)(1) of the Act.
Dated: June 17, 2010.
