We gave interested parties an opportunity to comment on the preliminary results of review but received no comments. Therefore, these final results of review have not changed from those presented in the preliminary results of review, in which we applied total adverse facts available. EFFECTIVE DATE: November 16, 1999. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Nova J.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Applicable Statute Unless otherwise indicated, all citations to the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), are references to the provisions as of January 1, 1995, the effective date of the amendments made to the Act by the Uruguay Round Agreements Act (URAA). In addition, unless otherwise indicated, all citations to the Department's regulations are to the regulations at 19 CFR part 351 (1998). [[Page 62169]] Scope of the Review The imports covered by this review are shipments of barium chloride, a chemical compound having the formulas BaCl2 or BaCl2-2H2O, currently classifiable under item number 2827.38.00 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS). Although the HTS item number is provided for convenience and for Customs purposes, the written description remains dispositive. Background On July 12, 1999, we published in the Federal Register (64 FR 37498) the preliminary results of the review of this order. We gave interested parties an opportunity to comment on our preliminary results. We received no comments. In the preliminary results, we determined that it was appropriate to use, as adverse facts available for the PRC-wide rate, the highest rate from this or previous segments of the proceeding. We selected Sinochem's rate of 60.84 percent from Barium Chloride From the People's Republic of China; Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 57 FR 29467 (July 2, 1992). The Department has now completed the administrative review in accordance with section 751 of the Act. Final Results of Review Because we received no comments from interested parties, we have determined that no changes to the preliminary results are warranted for purposes of these final results. The weighted-average dumping margin for the period October 1, 1997 through April 30, 1998 is as follows: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Weighted- average Manufacturer/producer/exporter margin percentage ------------------------------------------------------------------------ PRC-wide Rate.............................................. 60.84 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Department will issue appraisement instructions directly to the Customs Service. Furthermore, the following deposit requirements will be effective upon publication of the final results of this administrative review for all shipments of barium chloride from the PRC entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date, as provided for by section 751(a)(1) of the Act: (1) The cash deposit rate for all Chinese exporters will be the rate established in the final results of this review; and (2) for non-PRC exporters of subject merchandise from the PRC, the cash deposit rate will be the rate applicable to their PRC suppliers. These deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until publication of the final results of the next administrative review. This notice serves as a final reminder to importers of their responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f) to file a certificate regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation of the relevant entries during this review period. Failure to comply with this requirement could result in the Department's presumption that reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of double antidumping duties. This notice also serves as the only reminder to parties subject to administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely notification of return/destruction of APO materials or conversion to judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to comply with the regulations and the terms of an APO is a sanctionable violation. This administrative review and notice are in accordance with section 751(a)(1) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1675(a)(1)), section 777(i) of the Act (19 U.S.C. section 1677f(i)), and 19 CFR 351.221. Dated: November 3, 1999. Robert S. LaRussa, Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
