(millwork products) from Brazil are not 

being, or are not likely to be, sold in the 

United States at less than fair value 

(LTFV). The period of investigation 

(POI) is January 1, 2019 through 

December 31, 2019. 

DATES: Applicable January 4, 2021.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On August 12, 2020, Commerce 

published the Preliminary 

Determination in the LTFV investigation 

of millwork products from Brazil.1 For 

a complete description of the events that 

followed the Preliminary Determination, 

see the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum.2

Scope of the Investigation 

The products covered by this 

investigation are millwork products 

from Brazil. For a complete description 

of the scope of this investigation, see 

Appendix I. 

Scope Comments 

On August 5, 2020, we issued a 

Preliminary Scope Memorandum.3

Several interested parties submitted 

case and rebuttal briefs concerning the 

scope of this investigation. For a 

summary of the product coverage 

comments and rebuttal comments 

submitted to the record for this final 

determination, and accompanying 

discussion and analysis of all comments 

timely received, see the Final Scope 

Memorandum.4 Based on the comments 

received from interested parties, we are 

revising the scope of this investigation 

as it appeared in the Preliminary 

Determination. The scope in Appendix 

I reflects these changes. 

Verification 

Commerce was unable to conduct onsite verification of the information 

relied upon in making its final 

determination in this investigation. 

However, we took additional steps in 

lieu of an on-site verification to verify 

the information relied upon in making 

this final determination, in accordance 

with section 782(i) of the Tariff Act of 

1930, as amended (the Act).5

Analysis of Comments Received 

All issues raised in the case and 

rebuttal briefs that were submitted by 

parties in this investigation are 

addressed in the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum. For a list of the issues 

raised by interested parties and 

addressed in the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum, see Appendix II to this 

notice. The Issues and Decision 

Memorandum is a public document and 

is made available to the public via 

Enforcement and Compliance’s 

Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 

Centralized Electronic Service System 

(ACCESS). ACCESS is available to 

registered users at http://

access.trade.gov. In addition, a complete 

version of the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum can be accessed directly 

at http://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/ 

index.html. The signed and electronic 

versions of the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum are identical in content. 

Changes Since the Preliminary 

Determination 

Based on our review and analysis of 

the comments received from interested 

parties, we made certain changes to the 

margin calculations for Araupel S.A./ 

Braslumber Industria de Molduras 

Ltda./BrasPine Madeiras Ltda. For a 

discussion of these changes, see the 

Issues and Decision Memorandum. 

Final Determination 

The final estimated weighted-average 

dumping margin is as follows: 

Exporter/producer 

Estimated 

weightedaverage 

dumping 

margin 

(percent) 

Araupel S.A./Braslumber Industria de Molduras Ltda./BrasPine Madeiras Ltda.6 ............................................................................. 0.00 

Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 1 / Monday, January 4, 2021 / Notices 71 

7See Preliminary Determination, 85 FR at 48667. 

Because the weighted-average 

dumping margin is zero, we determine 

that millwork products from Brazil are 

not being, or are not likely to be, sold 

in the United States at LTFV. Commerce 

has not calculated an estimated 

weighted-average dumping margin for 

all other producers and exporters 

pursuant to sections 735(c)(1)(B) and 

(c)(5) of the Act because it has not made 

a final affirmative determination of sales 

at LTFV. 

Disclosure 

We intend to disclose to parties in 

this proceeding the calculations 

performed for this final determination 

within five days of the date of 

publication of this notice, in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.224(b). 

Suspension of Liquidation 

In the Preliminary Determination, the 

weighted-average dumping margin for 

Araupel S.A./Braslumber Industria de 

Molduras Ltda./BrasPine Madeiras Ltda. 

was zero and, therefore, we did not 

suspend liquidation of entries of 

millwork products from Brazil.7

Because Commerce has made a final 

negative determination of sales at LTFV 

with regard to the subject merchandise, 

Commerce will not direct U.S. Customs 

and Border Protection to suspend 

liquidation or to require a cash deposit 

of estimated antidumping duties for 

entries of millwork products from 

Brazil. 

International Trade Commission 

Notification 

In accordance with section 735(d) of 

the Act, we will notify the International 

Trade Commission of our final 

determination. As our final 

determination is negative, this 

proceeding is terminated in accordance 

with section 735(c)(2) of the Act. 

Notification Regarding Administrative 

Protective Orders 

This notice will serve as a reminder 

to the parties subject to administrative 

protective order (APO) of their 

responsibility concerning the 

disposition of proprietary information 

disclosed under APO in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely 

written notification of 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 which is subject to 

sanction. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

This determination is issued and 

published in accordance with sections 

735(d) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 

CFR 351.210(c). 

Dated: December 28, 2020.

Assistant Secretary, for Enforcement and 

Compliance. 

Appendix I—Scope of the Investigation 

The merchandise subject to this 

investigation consists of wood mouldings 

and millwork products that are made of 

wood (regardless of wood species), bamboo, 

laminated veneer lumber (LVL), or of wood 

and composite materials (where the 

composite materials make up less than 50 

percent of the total merchandise), and which 

are continuously shaped wood or fingerjointed or edge-glued moulding or millwork 

blanks (whether or not resawn). The 

merchandise subject to this investigation can 

be continuously shaped along any of its 

edges, ends, or faces. 

The percentage of composite materials 

contained in a wood moulding or millwork 

product is measured by length, except when 

the composite material is a coating or 

cladding. Wood mouldings and millwork 

products that are coated or clad, even along 

their entire length, with a composite 

material, but that are otherwise comprised of 

wood, LVL, or wood and composite materials 

(where the non-coating composite materials 

make up 50 percent or less of the total 

merchandise) are covered by the scope. 

The merchandise subject to this 

investigation consists of wood, LVL, bamboo, 

or a combination of wood and composite 

materials that is continuously shaped 

throughout its length (with the exception of 

any endwork/dados), profiled wood having a 

repetitive design in relief, similar milled 

wood architectural accessories, such as 

rosettes and plinth blocks, and finger-jointed 

or edge-glued moulding or millwork blanks 

(whether or not resawn). The scope includes 

continuously shaped wood in the forms of 

dowels, building components such as interior 

paneling and jamb parts, and door 

components such as rails, stiles, interior and 

exterior door frames or jambs (including 

split, flat, stop applied, single—or doublerabbeted), frame or jamb kits, and packaged 

door frame trim or casing sets, whether or not 

the door components are imported as part of 

a door kit or set. 

The covered products may be solid wood, 

laminated, finger-jointed, edge-glued, faceglued, or otherwise joined in the production 

or remanufacturing process and are covered 

by the scope whether imported raw, coated 

(e.g., gesso, polymer, or plastic), primed, 

painted, stained, wrapped (paper or vinyl 

overlay), any combination of the 

aforementioned surface coatings, treated, or 

which incorporate rot-resistant elements 

(whether wood or composite). The covered 

products are covered by the scope whether or 

not any surface coating(s) or covers obscure 

the grain, textures, or markings of the wood, 

whether or not they are ready for use or 

require final machining (e.g., endwork/dado, 

hinge/strike machining, weatherstrip or 

application thereof, mitre) or packaging. 

All wood mouldings and millwork 

products are included within the scope even 

if they are trimmed; cut-to-size; notched; 

punched; drilled; or have undergone other 

forms of minor processing. 

Subject merchandise also includes wood 

mouldings and millwork products that have 

been further processed in a third country, 

including but not limited to trimming, 

cutting, notching, punching, drilling, coating, 

or any other processing that would not 

otherwise remove the merchandise from the 

scope of this investigation if performed in the 

country of manufacture of the in-scope 

product. 

Excluded from the scope of this 

investigation are countertop/butcherblocks 

imported as a full countertop/butcherblock 

panel, exterior fencing, exterior decking and 

exterior siding products (including solid 

wood siding, non-wood siding (e.g., 

composite or cement), and shingles) that are 

not LVL or finger jointed; finished and 

unfinished doors; flooring; parts of stair steps 

(including newel posts, balusters, easing, 

gooseneck, risers, treads, rail fittings and stair 

stringers); picture frame components three 

feet and under in individual lengths; and 

lumber whether solid, finger-jointed, or edgeglued. To be excluded from the scope, fingerjointed or edge-glued lumber must have a 

nominal thickness of 1.5 inches or greater 

and a certification stamp from an American 

Lumber Standard Committee-certified 

grading agency. The exclusion for lumber 

whether solid, finger-jointed, or edge-glued 

does not apply to screen/‘‘surfaced on 4 

sides’’ (S4S) and/or ‘‘surface 1 side, 2 edges’’ 

(SlS2E) stock (also called boards) that are 

finger-jointed and/or edge-glued, or to fingerjointed and/or edge-glued moulding or 

millwork blanks (whether or not resawn). 

Accordingly, S4S and S1S2E stock/boards 

that are not finger-jointed or edge-glued are 

excluded from the scope of this investigation. 

Imports of wood mouldings and millwork 

products are primarily entered under the 

following Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States (HTSUS) numbers: 

4409.10.4010, 4409.10.4090, 4409.10.4500, 

4409.10.5000, 4409.22.4000, 

4409.22.5000,4409.29.4100, and 

4409.29.5100. Imports of wood mouldings 

and millwork products may also enter under 

HTSUS numbers: 

4409.10.6000,4409.10.6500, 4409.22.6000, 

4409.22.6500, 4409.29.6100, 4409.29.6600, 

4418.20.4000, 4418.20.8030, 4418.20.8060, 

4418.99.9095 and 4421.99.9780. While the 

HTSUS subheadings are provided for 

convenience and customs purposes, the 

written description of the scope of the 

investigation is dispositive.

Citric Acid and Certain Citrate Salts 

From the People’s Republic of China: 

Continuation of Antidumping Duty and 

Countervailing Duty Orders 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: As a result of the 

determinations by the Department of 

Commerce (Commerce) and the U.S. 

International Trade Commission (ITC) 

that revocation of the antidumping (AD) 

and countervailing duty (CVD) orders 

on citric acid and certain citrate salts 

from the People’s Republic of China 

(China) would likely lead to a 

continuation or recurrence of dumping, 

countervailable subsidies, and material 

injury to an industry in the United 

States, Commerce is publishing a notice 

of continuation of the AD and CVD 

orders. 

DATES: Applicable January 4, 2021.

(202) 482–4798 and (202) 482–2638, 

respectively. 

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 751(c) of the Tariff 

Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). 

As a result of its reviews, Commerce 

determined, pursuant to sections 

751(c)(1) and 752(c) 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 

751(c) and 752(a) of the Act.5

Scope of the Orders 

The scope of the orders includes all 

grades and granulation sizes of citric 

acid, sodium citrate, and potassium 

citrate in their unblended forms, 

whether dry or in solution, and 

regardless of packaging type. The scope 

also includes blends of citric acid, 

sodium citrate, and potassium citrate; as 

well as blends with other ingredients, 

such as sugar, where the unblended 

form(s) of citric acid, sodium citrate, 

and potassium citrate constitute 40 

percent or more, by weight, of the blend. 

The scope of the order also includes all 

forms of crude calcium citrate, 

including dicalcium citrate 

monohydrate, and tricalcium citrate 

tetrahydrate, which are intermediate 

products in the production of citric 

acid, sodium citrate, and potassium 

citrate. The scope of the order does not 

include calcium citrate that satisfies the 

standards set forth in the United States 

Pharmacopeia and has been mixed with 

a functional excipient, such as dextrose 

or starch, where the excipient 

constitutes at least 2 percent, by weight, 

of the product. The scope of the order 

includes the hydrous and anhydrous 

forms of citric acid, the dihydrate and 

anhydrous forms of sodium citrate, 

otherwise known as citric acid sodium 

salt, and the monohydrate and 

monopotassium forms of potassium 

citrate. Sodium citrate also includes 

both trisodium citrate and monosodium 

citrate, which are also known as citric 

acid trisodium salt and citric acid 

monosodium salt, respectively. Citric 

acid and sodium citrate are classifiable 

under 2918.14.0000 and 2918.15.1000 of 

the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States (HTSUS), respectively. 

Potassium citrate and crude calcium 

citrate are classifiable under 

2918.15.5000 and 3824.90.9290 of the 

HTSUS, respectively. Blends that 

include citric acid, sodium citrate, and 

potassium citrate are classifiable under 

3824.90.9290 of the HTSUS. Although 

the HTSUS subheadings are provided 

for convenience and customs purposes, 

our written description of the scope is 

dispositive. 

Continuation of the Orders 

As a result of the determinations by 

Commerce and the ITC that revocation 

of the Orders would likely lead to a 

continuation or recurrence of dumping, 

countervailable subsidies and material 

injury to an industry in the United 

States, pursuant to section 751(d)(2) of 

the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(a), 

Commerce hereby orders the 

continuation of the Orders. U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection will
