SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background On May 29, 2009, Commerce published in the Federal Register a notice of the AD and CVD orders on citric acid and certain citrate salts from China.1 On May 1, 2020, Commerce initiated,2 and the ITC instituted,3 the second sunset review of the Orders, pursuant to section 751c of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended the Act.
As a result of its reviews, Commerce determined, pursuant to sections 751c1 and 752c of the Act, that revocation of the Orders would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping and countervailable subsidies.
Commerce therefore notified the ITC of the magnitude of the margins of dumping and subsidy rates likely to prevail should these Orders be revoked.4 On December 21, 2020, the ITC published its determination that revocation of the Orders would likely lead to a continuation or recurrence of material injury to an industry in the United States within a reasonably foreseeable time, pursuant to sections 751c and 752a of the Act.5
