Background.—The final phase of 

these investigations is being scheduled 

as a result of affirmative preliminary 

determinations by the Department of 

Commerce that certain benefits which 

constitute subsidies within the meaning 

of section 703 of the Act (19 U.S.C. 

1671b) are being provided to 

manufacturers, producers, or exporters 

in Mexico of sugar, and that such 

products are being sold in the United 

States at less than fair value within the 

meaning of section 733 of the Act (19 

U.S.C. 1673b). The investigations were 

requested in a petition filed on Friday, 

March 28, 2014, by the American Sugar 

Coalition and its members: American 

Sugar Cane League, Thibodaux, LA; 

American Sugarbeet Growers 

Association, Washington, DC; American 

Sugar Refining, Inc., West Palm Beach, 

FL; Florida Sugar Cane League, 

Washington, DC; Hawaiian Commercial

Cooperative of Florida, Belle Glade, FL; 

and United States Beet Sugar 

Association, Washington, DC. 

Participation in the investigations and

industrial users of the subject 

merchandise and, if the merchandise is 

sold at the retail level, representative 

consumer organizations, wishing to

investigations as parties must file an 

entry of appearance with the Secretary 

to the Commission, as provided in 

section 201.11 of the Commission’s

days prior to the hearing date specified 

in this notice. Authorized applicants 

must represent interested parties, as 

defined by 19 U.S.C. 1677(9), who are 

parties to the investigations. A party

phase of the investigations 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 final phase of these
