Rescission of the Administrative 

Reviews 

Commerce has conducted these 

reviews in accordance with section 

751(a)(1)(C) of the Act, which specifies 

that Commerce shall ‘‘review the 

current status of, and compliance with, 

any agreement by reason of which an 

investigation was suspended.’’ Because 

Commerce has finalized a new 

amendment revising the terms and 

conditions of the 2016 Agreement, the 

administrative reviews of the preexisting 2016 Agreement for the PORs 

from October 1, 2022, through 

September 30, 2023, and from October 

1, 2023, through September 30, 2024, 

are now moot. The reviews pertain to a 

version of the 2016 Agreement that no 

longer exists. Accordingly, we are 

hereby rescinding these reviews. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

This notice is issued and published in 

accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 

777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR

Sodium Nitrite From the Federal 

Republic of Germany and the People’s 

Republic of China: Continuation of 

Antidumping Duty Orders 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: As a result of the 

determinations by the U.S. Department 

of Commerce (Commerce) and the U.S. 

International Trade Commission (ITC) 

that revocation of the antidumping duty 

(AD) orders on sodium nitrite from the 

Federal Republic of Germany (Germany) 

and the People’s Republic of China 

(China) would likely lead to the 

continuation or recurrence of dumping, 

and material injury to an industry in the 

United States, Commerce is publishing 

a notice of continuation of these AD 

orders. 

DATES: Applicable February 5, 2025.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On August 27, 2008, Commerce 

published in the Federal Register the 

AD orders on sodium nitrite from China 

and Germany.1 On July 1, 2024, the ITC 

instituted,2 and Commerce initiated,3

the third sunset reviews 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 that revocation of the 

Orders would likely lead to the 

continuation or recurrence of dumping, 

and therefore, notified the ITC of the 

magnitude of the margins of dumping 

likely to prevail should the Orders be 

revoked.4

On February 5, 2025, the ITC 

published its determination, pursuant to 

sections 751(c) and 752(a) of the Act, 

that revocation of the Orders would 

likely lead to continuation or recurrence 

of material injury to an industry in the 

United States within a reasonably 

foreseeable time.5

Scope of the Orders 

The merchandise subject to these 

orders is sodium nitrite in any form, at 

any purity level. In addition, the sodium 

nitrite covered by these orders may or 

may not contain an anti-caking agent. 

Examples of names commonly used to 

reference sodium nitrite are nitrous 

acid, sodium salt, anti-rust, diazotizing 

salts, erinitrit, and filmerine. The 

chemical composition of sodium nitrite 

is NaNO2 and it is generally classified 

under subheading 2834.10.1000 of the 

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States (HTSUS). The American 

Chemical Society Chemical Abstract 

Service (CAS) has assigned the name 

‘‘sodium nitrite’’ to sodium nitrite. The 

CAS registry number is 7632–00–0. 

While the HTSUS subheading, CAS 

registry number, and CAS name are 

provided for convenience and customs 

purposes, the written description of the 

scope of these orders 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 

continuation or recurrence of dumping 

and material injury to an industry in the 

United States, pursuant to section 

751(d)(2) of the Act, Commerce hereby 

orders the continuation of the Orders. 

U.S. Customs and Border Protection will 

continue to collect AD cash deposits at 

the rates in effect at the time of entry for 

all imports of subject merchandise. 

The effective date of the continuation 

of the Orders will be February 5, 2025.6

Pursuant to section 751(c)(2) of the Act 

and 19 CFR 351.218(c)(2), Commerce 

intends to initiate the next five-year 

reviews of the Orders not later than 30 

days prior to fifth anniversary of the 

date of the last determination by the 

ITC. 

Administrative Protective Order (APO) 

This notice also serves as a final 

reminder to parties subject to an 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 terms of an APO is a 

violation which is subject to sanction. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

These five-year (sunset) reviews and 

this notice are in accordance with 

sections 751(c) and 751(d)(2) of the Act, 

and published in accordance with 

section 777(i) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.218(f)(4). 

Dated: February 6, 2025.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Policy and 

Negotiations, performing the non-exclusive 

functions and duties of the Assistant 

Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
