Résumé

In response to a request from the petitioner, the Department of Commerce (the Department) is conducting an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on barium chloride from the People's Republic of China (PRC). The period of review (POR) is October 1, 2000 through September 30, 2001. The petitioner requested a review of 11 exporters. One company reported that it had no shipments of subject merchandise to the United States during the POR, and we have confirmed that claim with the U.S. Customs Service (Customs). Accordingly, we are preliminary rescinding the review with respect to this firm. Because the remaining exporters have not responded to our questionnaire, we have preliminary determined to use facts otherwise available for cash- deposit and assessment purposes for all producers/exporters of the subject merchandise. We invite interested parties to comment on these preliminary results. Parties who submit comments are requested to submit with each argument: (1) A statement of the issue and (2) a brief summary of the argument.
