Antidumping or Countervailing Duty 

Order, Finding, or Suspended 

Investigation; Opportunity To Request 

Administrative Review 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance,

Constitution Avenue NW., Washington, 

DC 20230, telephone: (202) 482–4735. 

Background 

Each year during the anniversary 

month of the publication of an 

antidumping or countervailing duty 

order, finding, or suspended 

investigation, an interested party, as 

defined in section 771(9) of the Tariff 

Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), may 

request, in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.213, that the Department of 

Commerce (the Department) conduct an 

administrative review of that 

antidumping or countervailing duty 

order, finding, or suspended 

investigation. 

All deadlines for the submission of 

comments or actions by the Department 

discussed below refer to the number of 

calendar days from the applicable 

starting date. 

Respondent Selection 

In the event the Department limits the 

number of respondents for individual 

examination for administrative reviews 

initiated pursuant to requests made for 

the orders identified below, the 

Department intends to select 

respondents based on U.S. Customs and 

Border Protection (CBP) data for U.S. 

imports during the period of review. We 

intend to release the CBP data under 

Administrative Protective Order (APO) 

to all parties having an APO within five 

days of publication of the initiation 

notice and to make our decision 

regarding respondent selection within 

21 days of publication of the initiation 

Federal Register notice. Therefore, we 

encourage all parties interested in 

commenting on respondent selection to 

submit their APO applications on the 

date of publication of the initiation 

notice, or as soon thereafter as possible. 

The Department invites comments 

regarding the CBP data and respondent 

selection within five days of placement 

of the CBP data on the record of the 

review. 

In the event the Department decides 

it is necessary to limit individual 

examination of respondents and 

conduct respondent selection under 

section 777A(c)(2) of the Act: 

In general, the Department finds that 

determinations concerning whether 

particular companies should be 

‘‘collapsed’’ (i.e., treated as a single 

entity for purposes of calculating 

antidumping duty rates) require a 

substantial amount of detailed 

information and analysis, which often 

require follow-up questions and 

analysis. Accordingly, the Department 

will not conduct collapsing analyses at 

the respondent selection phase of a 

review and will not collapse companies 

at the respondent selection phase unless 

there has been a determination to 

collapse certain companies in a 

previous segment of this antidumping 

proceeding (i.e., investigation, 

administrative review, new shipper 

review or changed circumstances 

review). For any company subject to a 

review, if the Department determined, 

or continued to treat, that company as 

collapsed with others, the Department 

will assume that such companies 

continue to operate in the same manner 

and will collapse them for respondent 

selection purposes. Otherwise, the 

Department will not collapse companies 

for purposes of respondent selection. 

Parties are requested to (a) identify 

which companies subject to review 

previously were collapsed, and (b) 

provide a citation to the proceeding in 

which they were collapsed. Further, if 

companies are requested to complete a 

Quantity and Value Questionnaire for 

purposes of respondent selection, in 

general each company must report 

volume and value data separately for 

itself. Parties should not include data 

for any other party, even if they believe 

they should be treated as a single entity 

with that other party. If a company was 

collapsed with another company or 

companies in the most recently 

completed segment of a proceeding 

where the Department considered 

collapsing that entity, complete quantity 

and value data for that collapsed entity 

must be submitted. 

Deadline for Withdrawal of Request for 

Administrative Review 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), a 

party that requests a review may 

withdraw that request within 90 days of 

the date of publication of the notice of 

initiation of the requested review. The 

regulation provides that the Department 

may extend this time if it is reasonable 

to do so. In order to provide parties 

additional certainty with respect to 

when the Department will exercise its 

discretion to extend this 90-day 

deadline, interested parties are advised 

that, with regard to reviews requested 

on the basis of anniversary months on 

or after November 2017, the Department 

does not intend to extend the 90-day 

deadline unless the requestor 

demonstrates that an extraordinary 

circumstance prevented it from 

submitting a timely withdrawal request. 

Determinations by the Department to 

extend the 90-day deadline will be 

made on a case-by-case basis. 

The Department is providing this 

notice on its Web site, as well as in its 

‘‘Opportunity to Request Administrative 

Review’’ notices, so that interested 

parties will be aware of the manner in 

which the Department intends to 

exercise its discretion in the future. 

OPPORTUNITY TO REQUEST A REVIEW: Not 

later than the last day of November 

2017,1 interested parties may request 

administrative review of the following

In accordance with 19 CFR 

351.213(b), an interested party as 

defined by section 771(9) of the Act may 

request in writing that the Secretary 

conduct an administrative review. For 

both antidumping and countervailing 

duty reviews, the interested party must 

specify the individual producers or 

exporters covered by an antidumping 

finding or an antidumping or 

countervailing duty order or suspension 

agreement for which it is requesting a 

review. In addition, a domestic 

interested party or an interested party 

described in section 771(9)(B) of the Act 

must state why it desires the Secretary 

to review those particular producers or 

exporters. If the interested party intends 

for the Secretary to review sales of 

merchandise by an exporter (or a 

producer if that producer also exports 

merchandise from other suppliers) 

which was produced in more than one 

country of origin and each country of 

origin is subject to a separate order, then 

the interested party must state 

specifically, on an order-by-order basis, 

which exporter(s) the request is 

intended to cover. 

Note that, for any party the 

Department was unable to locate in 

prior segments, the Department will not 

accept a request for an administrative 

review of that party absent new 

information as to the party’s location. 

Moreover, if the interested party who 

files a request for review is unable to 

locate the producer or exporter for 

which it requested the review, the 

interested party must provide an 

explanation of the attempts it made to 

locate the producer or exporter at the 

same time it files its request for review, 

in order for the Secretary to determine 

if the interested party’s attempts were 

reasonable, pursuant to 19 CFR 

351.303(f)(3)(ii). 

As explained in Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Proceedings: 

Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 

FR 23954 (May 6, 2003), and NonMarket Economy Antidumping 

Proceedings: Assessment of 

Antidumping Duties, 76 FR 65694 

(October 24, 2011), the Department 

clarified its practice with respect to the 

collection of final antidumping duties 

on imports of merchandise where 

intermediate firms are involved. The 

public should be aware of this 

clarification in determining whether to 

request an administrative review of 

merchandise subject to antidumping 

findings and orders.2

The Department no longer considers 

the non-market economy (NME) entity 

as an exporter conditionally subject to 

an antidumping duty administrative 

reviews.3 Accordingly, the NME entity 

will not be under review unless the 

Department specifically receives a 

request for, or self-initiates, a review of 

the NME entity.4 In administrative 

reviews of antidumping duty orders on 

merchandise from NME countries where 

a review of the NME entity has not been 

initiated, but where an individual 

exporter for which a review was 

initiated does not qualify for a separate 

rate, the Department will issue a final 

decision indicating that the company in 

question is part of the NME entity.

Duty Investigations of Citric Acid and Certain 

Citrate Salts From Belgium, Colombia and

Preliminary Determinations,’’ dated October 11,

However, in that situation, because no 

review of the NME entity was 

conducted, the NME entity’s entries 

were not subject to the review and the 

rate for the NME entity is not subject to 

change as a result of that review 

(although the rate for the individual 

exporter may change as a function of the 

finding that the exporter is part of the 

NME entity). 

Following initiation of an 

antidumping administrative review 

when there is no review requested of the 

NME entity, the Department will 

instruct CBP to liquidate entries for all 

exporters not named in the initiation 

notice, including those that were 

suspended at the NME entity rate. 

All requests must be filed 

electronically in Enforcement and 

Compliance’s Antidumping and

Further, in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.303(f)(l)(i), a copy of each request 

must be served on the petitioner and 

each exporter or producer specified in 

the request. 

The Department will publish in the 

Federal Register a notice of ‘‘Initiation 

of Administrative Review of 

Antidumping or Countervailing Duty 

Order, Finding, or Suspended 

Investigation’’ for requests received by 

the last day of November 2017. If the 

Department does not receive, by the last 

day of November 2017, a request for 

review of entries covered by an order, 

finding, or suspended investigation 

listed in this notice and for the period 

identified above, the Department will 

instruct CBP to assess antidumping or 

countervailing duties on those entries at 

a rate equal to the cash deposit of (or 

bond for) estimated antidumping or 

countervailing duties required on those 

entries at the time of entry, or 

withdrawal from warehouse, for 

consumption and to continue to collect 

the cash deposit previously ordered. 

For the first administrative review of 

any order, there will be no assessment 

of antidumping or countervailing duties 

on entries of subject merchandise 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption during the relevant 

provisional-measures ‘‘gap’’ period of 

the order, if such a gap period is 

applicable to the period of review. 

This notice is not required by statute 

but is published as a service to the 

international trading community.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On June 22, 2017, the Department of 

Commerce (the Department) initiated 

less-than-fair- value (LTFV) 

investigations of imports of citric acid 

and certain citrate salts (citric acid) from 

Belgium, Colombia, and Thailand.1

Currently, the preliminary 

determinations are due no later than 

November 9, 2017. 

Section 733(b)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act 

of 1930, as amended (the Act), requires 

the Department to issue the preliminary 

determination in a LTFV investigation 

within 140 days after the date on which 

the Department initiated the 

investigation. However, section 

733(c)(1)) of the Act permits the 

Department to postpone the preliminary 

determination until no later than 190 

days after the date on which the 

Department initiated the investigation 

if: (A) The petitioner makes a timely 

request for a postponement; or (B) the 

Department concludes that the parties 

concerned are cooperating, that the 

investigation is extraordinarily 

complicated, and that additional time is 

necessary to make a preliminary 

determination. Under 19 CFR 

351.205(e), the petitioner must submit a 

request for postponement 25 days or 

more before the scheduled date of the 

preliminary determination and must 

state the reasons for the request. The 

Department will grant the request unless 

it finds compelling reasons to deny the 

request. See 19 CFR 351.205(e). 

On October 11, 2017, Archer Daniels 

Midland Company (ADM); Cargill 

Incorporated (Cargill); and Tate & Lyle 

Ingredients America LLC (Tate & Lyle) 

(collectively, the petitioners) submitted 

timely requests pursuant to section 

703(c)(1)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.205(e) to postpone the preliminary 

determinations in these LTFV 

investigations.2 The petitioners stated 

that they request postponement because 

the Department is still gathering data 

and questionnaire responses from the 

foreign producers in these 

investigations, and additional time is 

necessary for the Department and 

interested parties to fully and properly 

analyze all questionnaire responses. 

For the reasons stated above and 

because there are no compelling reasons 

to deny the request, the Department, in 

accordance with section 733(c)(1)(A) of 

the Act, is postponing the deadline for 

the preliminary determinations by 50 

days (i.e., 190 days after the date on 

which these investigations were 

initiated). As a result, the Department 

will issue its preliminary 

determinations no later than December 

29, 2017. In accordance with section 

735(a)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.210(b)(1), the deadline for the final 

determinations of these investigations 

will continue to be 75 days after the 

date of publication of the preliminary 

determinations, unless postponed at a 

later date. 

This notice is issued and published 

pursuant to section 733(c)(2) of the Act 

and 19 CFR 351.205(f)(1).
