parties providing information on 

historic resources should designate 

information that they wish to be held as 

confidential and provide the reasons 

why BOEM should do so. 

All submissions from organizations or 

businesses and from individuals 

identifying themselves as 

representatives or officials of 

organizations or businesses will be 

made available for public inspection in 

their entirety. 

Request for Identification of Potential 

Alternatives, Information, and 

Analyses Relevant to the Proposed 

Action 

BOEM requests data, traditional and 

indigenous knowledge, comments, 

views, information, analysis, 

alternatives, or suggestions relevant to 

the analysis of the Proposed Action 

from the public; affected Federal, Tribal, 

State, and local governments, agencies, 

and offices; the scientific community; 

industry; or any other interested party. 

Specifically, BOEM requests 

information on the following topics: 

1. Potential mitigation measures, 

including GOM oil and gas development 

alternatives, and the effects these could 

have on: 

a. Biological resources, including 

birds, coastal communities, benthic 

communities, pelagic communities, fish, 

invertebrates, essential fish habitat, 

marine mammals, and sea turtles; 

b. Physical resources and conditions, 

including air quality, water quality, 

coastal habitats, benthic habitats, and 

pelagic habitats; and 

c. Socioeconomic and cultural 

resources, including commercial 

fishing, recreational fishing, 

demographics, employment, economics, 

environmental justice, land use and 

coastal infrastructure, navigation and 

vessel traffic, other uses (such as marine 

minerals, military use, and aviation), 

recreation and tourism, and scenic and 

visual resources. 

2. The identification of historic 

properties within the GOM, the 

potential effects on those historic 

properties from GOM oil and gas 

development, and any information that 

supports identification of historic 

properties under the NHPA. BOEM also 

solicits proposed measures to avoid, 

minimize, or mitigate any adverse 

effects on historic properties. If any 

historic properties are identified, a 

potential effects analysis will be 

available for public and NHPA 

consulting party comment in the draft 

PEIS. 

3. Information on other current or 

planned activities in the GOM, 

including any mitigation measures, their 

possible impacts on the alternatives, 

and the alternatives’ possible impacts 

on those activities. 

4. Other information relevant to 

impacts on the human environment 

from potential GOM oil and gas 

development alternatives, including any 

mitigation measures. 

To promote informed decisionmaking, comments should be as specific 

as possible and should provide as much 

detail as necessary to meaningfully and 

fully inform BOEM of the commenter’s 

position. Comments should explain why 

the issues raised are important for 

consideration of the Proposed Action, as 

well as economic, employment, and 

other impacts affecting the quality of the 

human environment.

Act’’), as amended, to determine 

whether revocation of the antidumping

submitting the information specified 

below to the Commission. 

DATES: Instituted October 2, 2023. To be

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background.—On November 13, 2018, 

the Department of Commerce 

(‘‘Commerce’’) issued antidumping and 

countervailing duty orders on imports of 

sodium gluconate, gluconic acid, and 

derivative products from China (83 FR 

56299). The Commission is conducting 

reviews pursuant to section 751(c) of the 

Act, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1675(c)), to 

determine whether revocation of the 

orders would be likely to lead to 

continuation or recurrence of material 

injury to the domestic industry within 

a reasonably foreseeable time. 

Provisions concerning the conduct of 

this proceeding may be found in the 

Commission’s Rules of Practice and 

Procedure at 19 CFR part 201, subparts 

A and B, and 19 CFR part 207, subparts 

A and F. The Commission will assess 

the adequacy of interested party 

responses to this notice of institution to 

determine whether to conduct full or 

expedited reviews. The Commission’s 

determinations in any expedited 

reviews will be based on the facts 

available, which may include 

information provided in response to this 

notice. 

Definitions.—The following 

definitions apply to these reviews: 

(1) Subject Merchandise is the class or 

kind of merchandise that is within the 

scope of the five-year reviews, as 

defined by Commerce. 

(2) The Subject Country in these 

reviews is China. 

(3) The Domestic Like Product is the 

domestically produced product or 

products which are like, or in the 

absence of like, most similar in 

characteristics and uses with, the 

Subject Merchandise. In its original 

determinations, the Commission 

defined a single Domestic Like Product 

corresponding to the range of sodium 

gluconate, gluconic acid, and derivative 

products within Commerce’s scope. 

(4) The Domestic Industry is the U.S. 

producers as a whole of the Domestic 

Like Product, or those producers whose 

collective output of the Domestic Like 

Product constitutes a major proportion 

of the total domestic production of the 

product. In its original determinations, 

the Commission defined the Domestic 

Industry as PMP Fermentation Products, 

the sole domestic producer of the 

Domestic Like Product during the 

original investigations. 

(5) The Order Date is the date that the 

antidumping and countervailing duty 

orders under review became effective. In 

these reviews, the Order Date is 

November 13, 2018. 

(6) An Importer is any person or firm 

engaged, either directly or through a 

parent company or subsidiary, in 

importing the Subject Merchandise into 

the United States from a foreign 

manufacturer or through its selling 

agent. 

Participation in the proceeding and 

public service list.—Persons, including 

industrial users of the Subject 

Merchandise and, if the merchandise is 

sold at the retail level, representative 

consumer organizations, wishing to 

participate in the proceeding as parties 

must file an entry of appearance with 

the Secretary to the Commission, as 

provided in § 201.11(b)(4) of the 

Commission’s rules, no later than 21 

days after publication of this notice in 

the Federal Register. The Secretary will 

maintain a public service list containing 

the names and addresses of all persons, 

or their representatives, who are parties 

to the proceeding. 

Former Commission employees who 

are seeking to appear in Commission 

five-year reviews are advised that they 

may appear in a review even if they 

participated personally and 

substantially in the corresponding 

underlying original investigation or an 

earlier review of the same underlying 

investigation. The Commission’s 

designated agency ethics official has 

advised that a five-year review is not the 

same particular matter as the underlying 

original investigation, and a five-year 

review is not the same particular matter 

as an earlier review of the same 

underlying investigation for purposes of 

18 U.S.C. 207, the post-employment 

statute for Federal employees, and 

Commission rule 201.15(b) (19 CFR 

201.15(b)), 79 FR 3246 (Jan. 17, 2014), 

73 FR 24609 (May 5, 2008). 

Consequently, former employees are not 

required to seek Commission approval 

to appear in a review under Commission 

rule 19 CFR 201.15, even if the
