SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On October 17, 1984, Commerce issued the AD order on barium 
chloride from China.\1\ On October 1, 2020, the ITC instituted,\2\ and 
Commerce initiated,\3\ the fifth sunset review of the Order, pursuant 
to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930 as amended (the Act). As a 
result of its review, Commerce determined that a revocation of the 
Order would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping and, 
therefore, notified the ITC of the magnitude of the margins likely to 
prevail should the Order be revoked.\4\
