Barium Chloride From the People's Republic of China: Final 
Results of Expedited Fourth Sunset Review of the Antidumping Duty Order

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.

SUMMARY: On May 1, 2015, the Department of Commerce (the 
``Department'') initiated the fourth five-year (``sunset'') review of 
the antidumping duty order on barium chloride from the People's 
Republic of China (``PRC'') pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff 
Act of 1930, as amended (the ``Act'').\1\ As a result of this sunset 
review, the Department finds that revocation of the antidumping duty 
order on barium chloride from the PRC would be likely to lead to 
continuation or recurrence of dumping at the levels indicated in the 
``Final Results of Review'' section of this notice.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On June 1, 2015, the Department received an adequate substantive 
response from domestic interested party Chemical Products Corporation 
(``Petitioner'') within the deadline specified in 19 CFR 
351.218(d)(3)(i).\2\ We received no responses from respondent 
interested parties. As a result, the Department conducted an expedited 
(120-day) sunset review of the order, pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(B) 
of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2).

Response to the Notice of Initiation of Five-Year Review of Chemical 
Products Corporation.''

Final Results of Review

    Pursuant to section 752(c) of the Act, we determine that revocation 
of the antidumping duty order on barium chloride from the PRC would be 
likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping at weighted 
average margins up to 155.50 percent.
