Results of Expedited Second Sunset Review of the Antidumping Duty Order
AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: On February 3, 2014, the Department of Commerce (the
``Department'') initiated the second five-year (``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 (the ``Act'').\1\ As a result of this sunset
review, the Department finds that revocation of the antidumping duty
order on barium carbonate 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.
