**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:**
**Background**
On November 26, 2021, Commerce published the *Preliminary Results* of the 2019-2020 administrative review of the antidumping duty order on strontium chromate from Austria. [^1] The administrative review covers Habich, the only company for which a review was requested. For the events that occurred since the *Preliminary Results,**see* the Issues and Decision Memorandum. [^2] Commerce conducted this review in accordance with section 751(a)(1)(B) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).
[^1]*See Strontium Chromate from Austria: Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 2019-2020,* 86 FR 67435 (November 26, 2021) ( *Preliminary Results* ), and accompanying Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
[^2]*See* Memorandum, “Issues and Decision Memorandum for the Final Results of the 2019-2020 Antidumping Duty Administrative Review: Strontium Chromate from Austria,” dated concurrently with, and hereby adopted by, this notice (Issues and Decision Memorandum).
**Scope of the Order
3**
[^3]*See Strontium Chromate from Austria and France: Antidumping Duty Orders,* 84 FR 65349 (November 27, 2019) ( *Order* ).
The merchandise covered by this *Order* is strontium chromate from Austria. A full description of the scope of the *Order* is contained in the Issues and Decision Memorandum.
**Analysis of Comments Received**
We addressed all issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs filed in this administrative review in the Issues and Decision Memorandum. A list of the issues addressed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum is in the appendix to this notice. The Issues and Decision Memorandum is a public document and is on file electronically via Enforcement and Compliance's Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS). ACCESS is available to registered users at *https://access.trade.gov.* In addition, a complete version of the Issues and Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly at *https://access.trade/gov/public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx.*
**Changes Since the Preliminary Results**
We made no changes to the *Preliminary Results.*
**Final Results of the Administrative Review**
We determine that the following weighted-average dumping margin for Habich exists for the period June 18, 2019, through October 31, 2020:
| Exporter/producer | Weighted-average dumping margin |
| --- | --- |
| Habich GmbH | 0.00 |
**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.
