in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i). Each of the
companies claimed interested party
status under section 771(9)(C) of the
Act, as a domestic producer of wire rod.
Commerce received an adequate
substantive response from the domestic
interested parties within the 30-day
deadline specified in 19 CFR
351.218(d)(3)(i).5 We did not receive a
substantive response from any other
domestic or interested parties in this
proceeding, nor was a hearing
requested.
On July 29, 2019, Commerce notified
the U.S. International Trade
Commission (ITC) that it did not receive
an adequate substantive response from
respondent interested parties.6 As a
result, pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(B)
of the Act and 19 CFR
351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2), Commerce has
conducted an expedited (120-day)
sunset review of the CVD order on wire
rod from Brazil.
Scope of the Order
This order covers certain carbon and
alloy steel wire rods. A full description
of the scope of the order is contained in
the Issues and Decision Memorandum,7
which is hereby adopted by this notice.

Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in this sunset review
are addressed in the Issues and Decision
Memorandum. The issues discussed in
the Issues and Decision Memorandum
are the likelihood of continuation or
recurrence of a countervailable subsidy
and the net countervailable subsidy
rates likely to prevail if this order were
revoked. The Issues and Decision
Memorandum is a public document and
is on file electronically via Enforcement
and Compliance’s Antidumping and

Final Results of Sunset Review
Pursuant to sections 751(c)(1) and

Changes Since the Preliminary
Determination
Based on our analysis of the
comments received and our findings at
verification, we made certain changes to
the margin calculations for Habich. For
a discussion of these changes, see the
‘‘Margin Calculations’’ section of the
Issues and Decision Memorandum.
Scope of the Investigation
The product covered by this
investigation is strontium chromate
from Austria. For a full description of
the scope of this investigation, see
Appendix I of this notice.
Scope Comments
During the course of this investigation
of strontium chromate from Austria,
Commerce did not receive scope
comments from interested parties.
Therefore, for this final determination,
the scope of this investigation remains
unchanged from that published in the

Verification
jbell on DSK3GLQ082PROD with NOTICES
As provided in section 782(i) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act),
during May and July 2019, we
conducted verification of the cost and
sales information submitted by Habich
GmbH (Habich), the sole mandatory
respondent, for use in our final
determination. We used standard
verification procedures, including an
examination of relevant accounting and
production records, and original source
documents provided by Habich.4
4 For a discussion of our verification findings, see
the following memoranda: ‘‘Verification of the Cost
Response of Habich GmbH in the Antidumping
Duty Investigation of Strontium Chromate from
Austria,’’ dated July 31, 2019; and ‘‘Verification of
the Sales Response of Habich GmbH in the

All-Others Rate
Section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act
provides that Commerce shall determine
an estimated all-others rate for all
exporters and producers not
individually examined. This rate shall
be an amount equal to the weighted
average of the estimated weightedaverage dumping margins established
for exporters and producers
individually investigated, excluding any
zero and de minimis margins, and any
margins determined entirely under
section 776 of the Act.
Commerce calculated an individual
estimated weighted-average dumping
margin for Habich, the only individually
examined exporter/producer in this
investigation. Because the only
individually calculated dumping margin
is not zero, de minimis, or determined
entirely under section 776 of the Act,
the estimated weighted-average
dumping margin calculated for Habich
is the margin assigned to all other
producers and exporters, pursuant to
section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act.

Pursuant to section 735(c)(1)(B)(ii) of

instruct CBP to require a cash deposit
for such entries of merchandise equal to
the estimated weighted-average
dumping margin as follows: (1) The
cash deposit rate for the respondents
listed above will be equal to the
respondent-specific estimated weightedaverage dumping margin determined in
this final determination; (2) if the
exporter is not a respondent identified
above but the producer is, then the cash
deposit rate will be equal to the
respondent-specific estimated weightedaverage dumping margin established for
that producer of the subject
merchandise; and (3) the cash deposit
rate for all other producers and
exporters will be equal to the all-others
estimated weighted-average dumping
margin. These suspension-of-liquidation
instructions will remain in effect until
further notice.

Appendix I
Scope of the Investigation
The merchandise covered by this
investigation is strontium chromate,
regardless of form (including but not limited
to, powder (sometimes known as granular),
dispersions (sometimes known as paste), or
in any solution). The chemical formula for
strontium chromate is SrCrO4 and the
Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) registry
number is 7789–06–2.
Strontium chromate that has been blended
with another product or products is included
in the scope if the resulting mix contains 15
percent or more of strontium chromate by
total formula weight. Products with which
strontium chromate may be blended include,
but are not limited to, water and solvents
such as Aromatic 100 Methyl Amyl Ketone
(MAK)/2-Heptanone, Acetone, Glycol Ether
EB, Naphtha Leicht, and Xylene. Subject
merchandise includes strontium chromate
that has been processed in a third country
into a product that otherwise would be
within the scope of this investigation if
processed in the country of manufacture of
the in-scope strontium chromate.
The merchandise subject to this
investigation is currently classified in the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United
States (HTSUS) under subheading
2841.50.9100. Subject merchandise may also
enter under HTSUS subheading
3212.90.0050. While the HTSUS subheadings
and CAS registry number are provided for
convenience and customs purposes, the
written description of the scope is
dispositive.

Verification
As provided in section 782(i) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended
(the Act), during May and July 2019, we conducted verification of the
cost and sales information submitted by Habich GmbH (Habich), the sole
mandatory respondent, for use in our final determination. We used
standard verification procedures, including an examination of relevant
accounting and production records, and original source documents
provided by Habich.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ For a discussion of our verification findings, see the
following memoranda: ``Verification of the Cost Response of Habich
GmbH in the Antidumping Duty Investigation of Strontium Chromate

Response of Habich GmbH in the Antidumping Investigation of
Strontium Chromate from Austria,'' dated August 14, 2019.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes Since the Preliminary Determination
Based on our analysis of the comments received and our findings at
verification, we made certain changes to the margin calculations for
Habich. For a discussion of these changes, see the ``Margin
Calculations'' section of the Issues and Decision Memorandum.
All-Others Rate
Section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act provides that Commerce shall
determine an estimated all-others rate for all exporters and producers
not individually examined. This rate shall be an amount equal to the
weighted average of the estimated weighted-average dumping margins
established for exporters and producers individually investigated,
excluding any zero and de minimis margins, and any margins determined
entirely under section 776 of the Act.
Commerce calculated an individual estimated weighted-average
dumping margin for Habich, the only individually examined exporter/
producer in this investigation. Because the only individually
calculated dumping margin is not zero, de minimis, or determined
entirely under section 776 of the Act, the estimated weighted-average
dumping margin calculated for Habich is the margin assigned to all
other producers and exporters, pursuant to section 735(c)(5)(A) of the
Act.
Final Determination
The final estimated weighted-average dumping margins are as
follows:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Estimated
weighted-
average
Exporter or producer dumping
margin
(percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Habich GmbH................................................. 25.90
All Others.................................................. 25.90
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Disclosure
We intend to disclose the calculations performed in this final
determination within five days of the date of publication of this
notice to parties in this proceeding in accordance with 19 CFR
351.224(b).
Continuation of Suspension of Liquidation
In accordance with section 735(c)(1)(B) of the Act, for this final
determination, we will direct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
to continue to suspend liquidation of all entries of strontium chromate
from Austria, as described in Appendix I of this notice, which are
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after June
18, 2019, the date of publication in the Federal Register of the
affirmative Amended Preliminary Determination.
Pursuant to section 735(c)(1)(B)(ii) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.210(d), we will instruct CBP to require a cash deposit for such
entries of merchandise equal to the estimated weighted-average dumping
margin as follows: (1) The cash deposit rate for the respondents listed
above will be equal to the respondent-specific estimated weighted-
average dumping margin determined in this final determination; (2) if
the exporter is not a respondent identified above but the producer is,
then the cash deposit rate will be equal to the respondent-specific
estimated weighted-average dumping margin established for that producer
of the subject merchandise; and (3) the cash deposit rate for all other
producers and exporters will be equal to the all-others estimated
weighted-average dumping margin. These suspension-of-liquidation
instructions will remain in effect until further notice.
International Trade Commission Notification
In accordance with section 735(d) of the Act, Commerce will notify
the International Trade Commission (ITC) of its final affirmative
determination of sales at LTFV. Because Commerce's final determination
is affirmative, in accordance with section 735(b)(2) of the Act, the
ITC will make its final determination as to whether the domestic
industry in the United States is materially injured, or threatened with
material injury, by reason of imports, or sales (or the likelihood of
sales) for importation of strontium chromate from Austria no later than
45 days after this final determination. If the ITC determines that such
injury does not exist, this proceeding will be terminated, and all cash
deposits posted will be refunded or canceled. If the ITC determines
that such injury does exist, Commerce will issue an antidumping duty
order directing CBP to assess, upon further instruction by Commerce,
antidumping duties on all imports of the subject merchandise entered,
or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the effective
date of the suspension of liquidation, as discussed above in the
``Continuation of Suspension of Liquidation'' section.
