Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 16 / Wednesday, January 27, 2021 / Notices
from China.1 On October 1, 2020,
Commerce published the notice of
initiation of the five-year sunset review
of the Order, pursuant to section 751(c)
of the Act of 1930, as amended (the
Act).2 On October 6, 2020, Commerce
received a notice of intent to participate
in this review from Chemical Products
Corporation (CPC) within the deadline
specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i).3
CPC claimed interested party status
under section 771(9)(C) of the Act as a
manufacturer of a domestic like product
in the United States. On October 30,
2020, CPC provided a complete
substantive response for this review
within the 30-day deadline specified in
19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i).4 We received
no substantive responses from any other
interested parties, nor was a hearing
requested. On November 20, 2020,
Commerce notified the U.S.
International Trade Commission (ITC)
that it did not receive an adequate
substantive response from respondent
interested parties.5 As a result, pursuant
to section 751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 19
CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2), Commerce
conducted an expedited (120-day)
sunset review of the Order.
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 subheading 2827.39.4500 of the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTSUS).6 Although the
HTSUS subheading is provided for
convenience and customs purposes, the
written description of the scope of this
order is dispositive.

Pursuant to sections 751(c)(1), and

determines that revocation of the
antidumping duty order on barium
chloride from China would likely lead
to continuation or recurrence of
dumping, and that the magnitude of the
margin likely to prevail is up to 155.50
percent.8
