Citric Acid and Certain Citrate Salts From Canada and China; 
Scheduling of Full Five-Year Reviews

AGENCY: United States International Trade Commission.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Commission hereby gives notice of the scheduling of full 
reviews pursuant to section 751(c)(5) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 
U.S.C. 1675(c)(5)) (the Act) to determine whether revocation of the 
antidumping duty and countervailing duty orders on citric acid and 
certain citrate salts from Canada and China would be likely to lead to 
continuation or recurrence of material injury within a reasonably 
foreseeable time. The Commission has determined to exercise its 
authority to extend the review period by up to 90 days pursuant to 19 
U.S.C. Sec.  1675(c)(5)(B). For further information concerning the 
conduct of these reviews and rules of general application, consult the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Background.--On July 7, 2014, the Commission determined that 
responses to its notice of institution of the subject five-year reviews 
were such that full reviews pursuant to section 751(c)(5) of the Act 
should proceed (79 FR 42049, July 18, 2014). A record of the 
Commissioners' votes, the Commission's statement on adequacy, and any 
individual Commissioner's statements are available from the Office of 
the Secretary and at the Commission's Web site.
    Participation in the reviews 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 these reviews as parties must 
file an entry of appearance with the Secretary to the Commission, as 
provided in section 201.11 of the Commission's rules, by 45 days after 
publication of this notice. A party that filed a notice of appearance 
following publication of the Commission's notice of institution of the 
reviews need not file an additional notice of appearance. The Secretary 
will maintain a public service list containing the names and addresses 
of all persons, or their representatives, who are parties to the 
reviews.
    Limited disclosure of business proprietary information (BPI) under 
an administrative protective order (APO) and BPI service list.--
Pursuant to section 207.7(a) of the Commission's rules, the Secretary 
will make BPI gathered in these reviews available to authorized 
applicants under the APO issued in the reviews, provided that the 
application is made by 45 days after publication of this notice. 
Authorized applicants must represent interested parties, as defined by 
19 U.S.C. 1677(9), who are parties to the reviews. A party granted 
access to BPI following publication of the Commission's notice of 
institution of the reviews need not reapply for such access. A separate 
service list will be maintained by the Secretary for those parties 
authorized to receive BPI under the APO.
    Staff report.--The prehearing staff report in the reviews will be 
placed in the nonpublic record on Wednesday, March 4, 2015, and a 
public version will be issued thereafter, pursuant to section 207.64 of 
the Commission's rules.
    Hearing.--The Commission will hold a hearing in connection with the 
reviews beginning at 9:30 a.m. on Wednesday, March 25, 2015, at the 
U.S. International Trade Commission Building. Requests to appear at the 
hearing should be filed in writing with the Secretary to the Commission 
on or before Monday, March 16, 2015. A nonparty who has testimony that 
may aid the Commission's deliberations may request permission to 
present a short statement at the hearing. All parties and nonparties 
desiring to appear at the hearing and make oral presentations should 
attend a prehearing conference to be held at 9:30 a.m. on Thursday, 
March 19, 2015, at the U.S. International Trade Commission Building. 
Oral testimony and written materials to be submitted at the public 
hearing are governed by sections 201.6(b)(2), 201.13(f), 207.24, and 
207.66 of the Commission's rules. Parties must submit any request to 
present a portion of their hearing testimony in camera no later than 7 
business days prior to the date of the hearing.
    Written submissions.--Each party to the reviews may submit a 
prehearing brief to the Commission. Prehearing briefs must conform with 
the provisions of section 207.65 of the Commission's rules; the 
deadline for filing is Friday, March 13, 2015. Parties may also file 
written testimony in connection with their presentation at the hearing, 
as provided in section 207.24 of the Commission's rules, and 
posthearing briefs, which must conform with the provisions of section 
207.67 of the Commission's rules. The deadline for filing posthearing 
briefs is Friday, April 3, 2015. In addition, any person who has not 
entered an appearance as a party to the reviews may submit a written 
statement of information pertinent to the subject of the reviews on or 
before Friday, April 3, 2015. On Thursday, April 30, 2015, the 
Commission will make available to parties all information on which they 
have not had an opportunity to comment. Parties may submit final 
comments on this information on or before Monday, May 4, 2015, but such 
final comments must not contain new factual information and must 
otherwise comply with section 207.68 of the Commission's rules. All 
written submissions must conform with the provisions of section 201.8 
of the Commission's rules; any submissions that contain BPI must also 
conform with the requirements of sections 201.6, 207.3, and 207.7 of 
the Commission's rules. The Commission's Handbook on E-Filing, 
available on the Commission's Web site at http://edis.usitc.gov, 
elaborates upon the Commission's rules with respect to electronic 
filing.
    Additional written submissions to the Commission, including 
requests pursuant to section 201.12 of the Commission's rules, shall 
not be accepted unless good cause is shown for accepting such 
submissions, or unless the submission is pursuant to a specific request 
by a Commissioner or Commission staff.
    In accordance with sections 201.16(c) and 207.3 of the Commission's 
rules, each document filed by a party to the reviews must be served on 
all other parties to the reviews (as identified by either the public or 
BPI service list), and a certificate of service must be timely filed. 
The Secretary will not accept a document for filing without a 
certificate of service.

    Authority: These reviews are being conducted under authority of 
title VII of the Tariff Act of 1930; this notice is published 
pursuant to section 207.62 of the Commission's rules.
