automatically initiate and conduct a 

review to determine whether revocation 

of a countervailing or antidumping duty 

order or termination of an investigation 

suspended under section 704 or 734 of 

the Act would be likely to lead to 

continuation or recurrence of dumping 

or a countervailable subsidy (as the case 

may be) and of material injury. 

Upcoming Sunset Reviews for 

December 2014 

The following Sunset Reviews are 

scheduled for initiation in December 

2014 and will appear in that month’s

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The Department published the notice 

of initiation of this investigation on 

April 24, 2014.1 Pursuant to section 

773(c)(1)(A) of the Act, the Department 

postponed this preliminary LTFV 

determination by a period of 50 days.2

Scope of the Investigation 

The product covered by this 

investigation is sugar from Mexico. For 

a full description of the scope of the 

investigation, see Appendix I to this 

notice.3

Methodology 

The Department conducted this 

investigation in accordance with section 

731 of the Act. Export price (EP) has 

been calculated in accordance with 

section 772 of the Act. Normal value 

(NV) has been calculated in accordance 

with section 773 of the Act. 

For a full description of the 

methodology underlying our 

conclusions, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum. The 

Preliminary 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 (IA ACCESS). 

IA ACCESS is available to registered 

users at https://iaaccess.trade.gov and to 

all parties in the Department’s Central 

Records Unit, located at room 7046 of 

the Department’s main building. In 

addition, a complete version of the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum can 

be accessed at http://

enforcement.trade.gov/frn/index.html. 

The signed and the electronic versions 

of the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum are identical in content. 

Preliminary Determination 

In accordance with section 

733(d)(1)(A)(i) of the Act, the 

Department calculated weighted-average 

dumping margins for the following 

individually investigated exporters and 

producers of subject merchandise: (1) 

Fondo de Empresas Expropiadas del 

Sector Azucarero (FEESA) 4 and (2) 

Ingenio Tala S.A. de C.V. and certain 

affiliated companies of Grupo Azucarero 

Mexico S.A. de C.V. (collectively, the 

GAM Group).5 The Department 

preliminarily determines that the 

following weighted-average dumping 

margins exist for these individually 

investigated exporters and producers: 

Exporter/producer 

Weightedaverage 

dumping 

margin 

(percent) 

FEESA ........................................ 39.54 

Ingenio Tala S.A. de C.V. and 

certain affiliated sugar mills of 

Grupo Azucarero Mexico S.A. 

de C.V. (collectively, the GAM 

Group) ..................................... 47.26 

All-Others .................................... 40.76 

Consistent with sections 

733(d)(1)(A)(ii) and 735(c)(5) of the Act, 

the Department also calculated an 

estimated all-others rate for all exporters 

or producers not individually 

investigated. Section 735(c)(5)(A) of the 

Act provides that the estimated ‘‘allothers’’ rate shall be an amount equal to 

the weighted average of the estimated 

weighted-average dumping margins 

established for exporters and producers 

individually investigated, excluding any 

zero or de minimis margins, and any 

margins determined entirely under 

section 776 of the Act. Therefore, 

because the weighted-average dumping 

margins for FEESA and the GAM Group 

are not zero, de minimis, or determined 

entirely under section 776 of the Act, 

the Department has estimated the ‘‘allothers’’ rate in this preliminary 

determination by weight-averaging the 

weighted-average dumping margins 

calculated for FEESA and the GAM 

Group. 

Verification 

As provided in section 782(i)(1) of the 

Act, the Department intends to verify 

the information submitted by FEESA 

and the GAM Group prior to making a 

final determination in this investigation. 

Disclosure and Public Comment 

In accordance with 19 CFR 

351.224(b), the Department intends to 

disclose the calculations performed in 

connection with this preliminary 

determination within five days of its 

public announcement. Interested parties 

may submit case and rebuttal briefs, as 

well as request a hearing.6 For a 

schedule of the deadlines for filing case 

briefs, rebuttal briefs, and hearing 

requests, see the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum. 

Suspension of Liquidation 

In accordance with section 

733(d)(2)(A) of the Act, we are directing 

U.S. Customs and Border Protection 

(CBP) to suspend liquidation of all 

entries of subject merchandise that are 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after the date of 

publication of this notice in the Federal 

Register. 

Pursuant to section 733(d)(1)(B) of the 

Act and 19 CFR 351.205(d), we will 

instruct CBP to require a cash deposit 7

equal to the weighted-average amount 

by which NV exceeds EP, as indicated 

in the chart above, as follows: (1) The 

rate for FEESA, when adjusted for 

export subsidies, is 39.36 percent; (2) 

the rate for the GAM Group, when 

adjusted for export subsidies, is 47.09 

percent; (3) if the exporter is not a firm 

identified in this investigation, but the 

producer is, then the rate will be the 

rate established for the producer of the 

subject merchandise; (4) the rate for all

liquidation instructions will remain in 

effect until further notice. 

Postponement of Final Determination 

and Extension of Provisional Measures 

Pursuant to a request from FEESA and 

the GAM Group,8 we are postponing the 

final determination. Accordingly, we 

intend to make our final determination 

no later than 135 days after the date of 

publication of this preliminary 

determination in the Federal Register, 

pursuant to section 735(a)(2)(A) of the 

Act.9 Furthermore, FEESA and the GAM 

Group requested to extend the 

application of the provisional measures, 

as prescribed under section 733(d) of 

the Act and 19 CFR 351.210(e)(2), from 

a four-month period to a six-month 

period.10 The suspension of liquidation 

described above will be extended 

accordingly.11

U.S. International Trade Commission

the Act, we will notify the U.S. 

International Trade Commission (ITC) of 

our determination. For a discussion 

concerning the information that the 

Department will make available to the 

ITC and the statutory deadlines 

regarding a final determination to be 

issued by the ITC, see the Preliminary
