    We determine that the following weighted-average dumping margin for

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                               Weighted-
                                                                average

Disclosure

    Normally, Commerce will disclose to the parties in a proceeding the 
calculations performed in connection with the final results of review 
in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). However, because Commerce made no 
adjustments to the margin calculation methodology used in the 
Preliminary Results, there are no additional calculations to disclose 
for the final results of this review.

Assessment Rates

    Commerce has determined, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
(CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries in 
accordance with section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.212(b).\4\ Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP 
no earlier than 35 days after the date of publication of the final 
results of this review in the Federal Register. If a timely summons is 
filed at the U.S. Court of International Trade, the assessment 
instructions will direct CBP not to liquidate relevant entries until 
the time for parties to file a request for a statutory injunction has 
expired (i.e., within 90 days of publication).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See Antidumping Proceedings: Calculation of the Weighted-
Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping 
Proceedings: Final Modification, 77 FR 8101 (February 14, 2012).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), where the respondent reported the 
entered value of its U.S. sales, we calculated importer-specific ad 
valorem duty assessment rates based on the ratio of the total amount of 
dumping calculated for the examined sales to the total entered value of 
the sales for which entered value was reported. Where the respondent 
did not report entered value, we calculated importer-specific per-unit 
duty assessment rates based on the ratio of the total amount of 
antidumping duties calculated for the examined sales to the total 
quantity of those sales. Where either the respondent's weighted-average 
dumping margin is zero or de minimis within the meaning of 19 CFR 
351.106(c)(1), or an importer-specific assessment rate is de minimis 
(i.e., less than 0.5 percent), we will instruct CBP to liquidate the 
appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties. To determine 
whether an importer-specific per-unit duty assessment rate is de 
minimis, we calculated an estimated entered value.
    The final results of this review shall be the basis for the 
assessment of antidumping duties on entries of merchandise covered by 
the final results of this review and for future deposits of estimated 
duties, where applicable.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Consistent with Commerce's clarification of its assessment 
practice, for entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by 
Habich for which it did not know that the merchandise was destined for 
the United States, we will instruct CBP to liquidate those entries at 
the all-others rate in the original less-than-fair-value (LTFV) 
investigation \6\ if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies) 
involved in the transaction.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ See Order.
    \7\ For a full discussion of this practice, see Antidumping and 
Countervailing Duty Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 
68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cash Deposit Requirements

    The following cash deposit requirements will be effective for all 
shipments of strontium chromate from Austria entered, or withdrawn from 
warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of publication of the 
final results as provided by section 751(a)(2) of the Act: (1) The cash 
deposit rate for Habich will be equal to the weighted-average dumping 
margin established in the final results of this review; (2) for 
merchandise exported by producers or exporters not covered in this 
review but covered in a prior completed segment of the proceeding, the 
cash deposit rate will continue to be the company-specific rate 
published in the completed segment for the most recent period; (3) if 
the exporter is not a firm covered in this review, a prior review, or 
the original LTFV investigation, but the producer is, then the cash 
deposit rate will be the rate established in the completed segment for 
the most recent period for the producer of the merchandise; (4) the 
cash deposit rate for all other producers or exporters will continue to 
be 25.90 percent, the all-others rate established in the LTFV 
investigation in this proceeding.\8\ These cash deposit requirements, 
when imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ See Order.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Notification to Importers

    This notice serves as a final reminder to importers of their 
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate 
regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation 
of the relevant entries during this POR. Failure to comply with this 
requirement could result in Commerce's presumption that reimbursement 
of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of double 
antidumping duties.

Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Orders

    This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information 
disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), which 
continues to govern business proprietary information in this segment of 
the proceeding. Timely written notification of the return or 
destruction of APO materials, or conversion to judicial protective 
order, is hereby requested. Failure to comply with the regulations and 
terms of an APO is a violation subject to sanction.

Notification to Interested Parties

    We are issuing and publishing these final results of administrative 
review in accordance with sections 751(a) and 777(i) of the Act, and 19 
CFR 351.221(b)(5).

    Dated: March 25, 2022.

Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
