organizations: 

• Research activities performed or 

funded by nonprofit organizations 

• Research funding sources 

• Type of research 

• Research personnel counts 

II. Method of Collection 

The ABS is primarily collected 

electronically using a web-based 

questionnaire. Those selected for the 

survey receive an initial letter informing 

the respondents of their requirement to 

complete the survey as well as 

instructions on accessing the survey. 

Responses will be due approximately 30 

days from initial mailing. Respondents 

will also receive a due date reminder 

approximately one week before 

responses are due. The Census Bureau 

plans to conduct two follow-up mailings 

and an optional third follow-up if 

deemed necessary based on check-in 

rates. Nonrespondents may receive a 

certified mailing for the second and 

third follow-up mailings. The Census 

Bureau may also plan to conduct an 

email follow-up to select 

nonrespondents reminding them to 

submit their report in the electronic 

instrument. Follow-up operations may 

also include a paper questionnaire or 

telephone follow-up to assist with 

collecting data from select 

nonrespondents. Response data will be 

processed as they are received. Upon 

the close of the collection period, data 

processing will continue, and records 

will be edited, reviewed, tabulated, and 

released publicly.

Citric Acid and Certain Citrate Salts 

From Belgium: Preliminary Results of 

the Sunset Review of the Antidumping 

Duty Order 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: On June 1, 2023, the U.S. 

Department of Commerce (Commerce) 

initiated a sunset review of the 

antidumping duty (AD) order on citric 

acid and certain citrate salts (citric acid) 

from Belgium pursuant to section 751(c) 

of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 

(the Act). Commerce determined that it 

was appropriate to conduct a full 

review. Commerce preliminarily finds 

that revocation of this AD order would 

be likely to lead to continuation or 

recurrence of dumping at the levels 

indicated in the ‘‘Preliminary Results of 

Review’’ section of this notice. 

DATES: Applicable September 22, 2023.

Daniels Midland Company, Cargill,

On June 30, 2023, Commerce received 

a substantive response from the

Commerce received a substantive
