SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Commerce published the Preliminary Results on November 3, 2023 and
invited interested parties to comment.\1\ No interested party submitted
comments. Accordingly, the final results are unchanged from the
Preliminary Results. 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 France: Preliminary Results of
Antidumping Duty Administrative Review; 2021-2022; 88 FR 75556
(November 3, 2023) (Preliminary Results), and accompanying
Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scope of the Order <SUP>2</SUP>
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ See Strontium Chromate from Austria and France: Antidumping
Duty Orders, 84 FR 65349 (November 27, 2019) (Order).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The product covered by this Order is strontium chromate from
France. For a full description of the scope of the Order, see the
Preliminary Results.
Final Results of Review
As no parties submitted comments regarding the Preliminary Results,
Commerce made no changes to its determinations for the final results of
this review. As a result of this review, we determine the following
weighted-average dumping margin exists for the POR:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weighted-
average
Exporter/producer dumping
margin
(percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Soci[eacute]t[eacute] Nouvelle des Couleurs Zinciques...... 0.00
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Disclosure
Because Commerce received no comments on the Preliminary Results,
we have not modified our analysis and no decision memorandum
accompanies this Federal Register notice. We are adopting the
Preliminary Results as the final results of this review. Consequently,
there are no new calculations to disclose in accordance with 19 CFR
351.224(b) for these final results.
Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act, and 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1), Commerce has determined, and U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries of subject merchandise in accordance with the final results of
this review.
Where the respondent's weighted-average dumping margin is either
zero or de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent), we will instruct CBP
to liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to antidumping
duties. Accordingly, because SNCZ's weighted-average dumping margin is
zero percent, we will instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries
without regard to antidumping duties.
Commerce's ``reseller policy'' will apply to entries of subject
merchandise during the POR produced by SNCZ included in these final
results of review for which the reviewed company did not know that the
merchandise it sold to the intermediary (e.g., a reseller, trading
company, or exporter) was destined for the United States. In such
instance, we will instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed entries at the
all-others rate if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies)
involved in the transaction.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ For a full discussion of this practice, see Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties,
68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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).
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following deposit requirements will be effective for all
shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date of the
final results of this administrative review, as provided by section
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) the cash deposit rate for SNCZ will be
equal to the weighted-average dumping margin established in the final
results of this administrative review (i.e., 0.00 percent); (2) for
merchandise exported by a producer or exporter not covered in this
review but covered in a prior segment of the proceeding, the cash
deposit rate will continue to be the company-specific rate published
for the most recently completed segment of this proceeding in which the
producer or exporter participated; (3) if the exporter is not a firm
covered in this review, a prior review, or the original less-than-fair-
value (LTFV) investigation, but the producer is, the cash deposit rate
will be the rate established for the most recently completed segment of
the proceeding for the producer of the merchandise; and (4) the cash
deposit rate for all other producers and exporters will continue to be
32.16 percent ad valorem, the all-others rate established in the LTFV
investigation.\4\ These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.

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
[[Page 8163]]
of antidumping duties prior to liquidation of the relevant entries
during the 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.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to an
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
the terms of an APO is a sanctionable violation.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5).
Dated: January 29, 2024.
