Barium Carbonate from the People’s 

Republic of China: Final Results of the 

Expedited Sunset Review of the 

Antidumping Duty Order 

AGENCY: Import Administration, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: On September 2, 2008, the 

Department of Commerce 

(‘‘Department’’) initiated a sunset 

review of the antidumping duty order 

on barium carbonate from the People’s 

Republic of China (‘‘PRC’’) pursuant to 

section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, 

as amended (‘‘Act’’). See Initiation of 

Five-year (‘‘Sunset’’) Review, 73 FR 

51275 (September 2, 2008) (‘‘Sunset 

Initiation’’); see also Antidumping Duty 

Order: Barium Carbonate from the 

People’s Republic of China, 68 FR 56619 

(October 1, 2003) (‘‘Order’’). On 

September 16, 2008, Chemical Products 

Corporation (‘‘CPC’’), the petitioner in 

the original barium carbonate 

investigation, notified the Department 

that it intended to participate in the 

sunset review. The Department did not 

receive a substantive response from any 

respondent party. Based on the notice of 

intent to participate and adequate 

response filed by the domestic 

interested party, and the lack of 

response from any respondent 

interested party, the Department 

conducted an expedited sunset review 

of the Order pursuant to section 

751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 19 C.F.R. 

351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2). As a result of this 

sunset review, the Department finds that 

revocation of the Order would likely 

lead to continuation or recurrence of 

dumping, at the levels indicated in the 

‘‘Final Results of Sunset Review’’ 

section of this notice, infra.

On October 2, 2008, CPC filed a 

substantive response in the sunset 

review, within the 30-day deadline as 

specified in 19 C.F.R. 351.218(d)(3)(i). 

The Department did not receive a 

substantive response from any 

respondent interested party in the 

sunset review. As a result, pursuant to 

section 751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 19 

C.F.R. 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2), the 

Department conducted an expedited 

sunset review of the Order.
