SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On April 13, 2009, the Department
published its affirmative final
determinations of sales at less-than-fairvalue in the antidumping duty
investigations of citric acid from Canada
and the PRC. See Notice of Final
Determination of Sales at Less Than
Fair Value: Citric Acid and Certain
Citrate Salts from Canada, 74 FR 16843
(April 13, 2009); and Citric Acid and
Certain Citrate Salts from the People’s
Republic of China: Final Determination
of Sales at Less Than Fair Value, 74 FR
16838 (April 13, 2009).
On May 22, 2009, the ITC notified the
Department of its final determinations
pursuant to section 735(d) of the Tariff
PO 00000

Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), that
an industry in the United States is
materially injured by reason of lessthan-fair-value imports of citric acid
from Canada and the PRC. See section
735(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Act.
Scope of the Orders
The scope of these orders includes all
grades and granulation sizes of citric
acid, sodium citrate, and potassium
citrate in their unblended forms,
whether dry or in solution, and
regardless of packaging type. The scope
also includes blends of citric acid,
sodium citrate, and potassium citrate; as
well as blends with other ingredients,
such as sugar, where the unblended
form(s) of citric acid, sodium citrate,
and potassium citrate constitute 40
percent or more, by weight, of the blend.
The scope of these orders also includes
all forms of crude calcium citrate,
including dicalcium citrate
monohydrate, and tricalcium citrate
tetrahydrate, which are intermediate
products in the production of citric
acid, sodium citrate, and potassium
citrate. The scope of these orders does
not include calcium citrate that satisfies
the standards set forth in the United
States Pharmacopeia and has been
mixed with a functional excipient, such
as dextrose or starch, where the
excipient constitutes at least 2 percent,
by weight, of the product. The scope of
these orders includes the hydrous and
anhydrous forms of citric acid, the
dihydrate and anhydrous forms of
sodium citrate, otherwise known as
citric acid sodium salt, and the
monohydrate and monopotassium forms
of potassium citrate. Sodium citrate also
includes both trisodium citrate and
monosodium citrate, which are also
known as citric acid trisodium salt and
citric acid monosodium salt,
respectively. Citric acid and sodium
citrate are classifiable under
2918.14.0000 and 2918.15.1000 of the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTSUS), respectively.
Potassium citrate and crude calcium
citrate are classifiable under
2918.15.5000 and 3824.90.9290 of the
HTSUS, respectively. Blends that
include citric acid, sodium citrate, and
potassium citrate are classifiable under
3824.90.9290 of the HTSUS. Although
the HTSUS subheadings are provided
for convenience and customs purposes,
the written description of the
merchandise is dispositive.
Provisional Measures
Section 773(d) of the Act states that
suspension of liquidation instructions
issued pursuant to an affirmative
preliminary determination may not
E:\FR\FM\29MYN1.SGM

remain in effect for more than four
months except where exporters
representing a significant proportion of
exports of the subject merchandise
request the Department to extend that
four-month period to no more than six
months. At the request of the exporters
that accounted for a significant
proportion of exports of the subject
merchandise in the investigations of
citric acid from Canada and the PRC, we
extended the four-month period to no
more than six months. See Citric Acid
and Certain Citrate Salts from Canada:
Notice of Preliminary Determination of
Sales at Less Than Fair Value and
Postponement of Final Determination,
73 FR 70324 (November 20, 2008) (Citric
Acid from Canada Prelim); and Citric
Acid and Certain Citrate Salts from the
People’s Republic of China: Preliminary
Determination of Sales at Less Than
Fair Value and Postponement of Final
Determination, 73 FR 70328 (November
20, 2008) (Citric Acid from the PRC
Prelim).
In these investigations, the six-month
period beginning on the date of the
publication of the preliminary
determinations (i.e., November 20,
2008) ended on May 19, 2009.
Furthermore, section 737 of the Act
states that definitive duties are to begin
on the date of publication of the ITC’s
final injury determination. Therefore, in
accordance with section 733(d) of the
Act, we will instruct CBP to terminate
the suspension of liquidation and to
liquidate, without regard to
antidumping duties, unliquidated
entries of citric acid from Canada and
the PRC entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after
May 19, 2009, and before the date of
publication of the ITC’s final injury
determination in the Federal Register.
Suspension of liquidation will resume
on or after the date of publication of the
ITC’s final injury determination in the
Federal Register.
Antidumping Duty Orders
On May 22, 2009, in accordance with
section 735(d) of the Act, the ITC
notified the Department of its final
determinations that an industry in the
United States is materially injured
within the meaning of section
735(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Act by reason of
less-than-fair-value imports of citric
acid from Canada and the PRC.
In accordance with section 736(a)(1)
of the Act, the Department will direct
Exporter
U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) to assess, upon further advice by
the Department, antidumping duties
equal to the amount by which the
normal value of the merchandise
exceeds the export price or constructed
export price of the merchandise for all
relevant entries of citric acid from
Canada and the PRC. These
antidumping duties will be assessed on
all unliquidated entries of citric acid
entered from Canada and the PRC, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after November 20,
2008, the date on which the Department
published its notices of preliminary
determination in the Federal Register,
but prior to May 19, 2009. See Citric
Acid from Canada Prelim, 73 FR at
70324; and Citric Acid from the PRC
Prelim, 73 FR at 70328.
On or after the date of publication of
the ITC’s notice of final determinations
in the Federal Register, CBP will
require, pursuant to section 736(a)(3) of
the Act, will require, at the same time
as importers would normally deposit
estimated duties on this merchandise, a
cash deposit equal to the estimated
dumping margins as noted below:

Background
On March 9, 2009, the Department of
Commerce (the Department) published a
notice for the preliminary results of the
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on certain
frozen warmwater shrimp from
Thailand covering the period February
1, 2007, through January 31, 2008. See
Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp from
Thailand: Preliminary Results of
Antidumping Duty Administrative
Review, 74 FR 10000 (March 9, 2009).
The final results for this administrative
review are currently due no later than
July 7, 2009, 120 days from the date of
publication of the preliminary results of
review.
mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES
Extension of Time Limit for the Final
Results
Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act
of 1930, as amended (the Act), requires
the Department to issue the final results
of an administrative review within 120
days after the date on which the
preliminary results are published. If it is
not practicable to complete the review
within that time period, section
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows the
VerDate Nov<24>2008
17:24 May 28, 2009
Jkt 217001
Department to extend the deadline for
the final results to a maximum of 180
days after the date on which the
preliminary results are published.
The Department requires additional
time to complete this review because we
conducted the sales verification after the
preliminary results and, therefore, case
and rebuttal briefs will not be received
until May 29, 2009, and June 9, 2009,
respectively. Thus, it is not practicable
to complete this review within the
original time limit. Therefore, the
Department is extending the time limit
for completion of the final results of this
review by 60 days, in accordance with
section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act. The final
results are now due no later than
September 8, 2009.
We are issuing and publishing this
notice in accordance with sections
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

Provisional Measures
Section 773(d) of the Act states that suspension of liquidation
instructions issued pursuant to an affirmative preliminary
determination may not
[[Page 25704]]
remain in effect for more than four months except where exporters
representing a significant proportion of exports of the subject
merchandise request the Department to extend that four-month period to
no more than six months. At the request of the exporters that accounted
for a significant proportion of exports of the subject merchandise in
the investigations of citric acid from Canada and the PRC, we extended
the four-month period to no more than six months. See Citric Acid and
Certain Citrate Salts from Canada: Notice of Preliminary Determination
of Sales at Less Than Fair Value and Postponement of Final
Determination, 73 FR 70324 (November 20, 2008) (Citric Acid from Canada

Republic of China: Preliminary Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair
Value and Postponement of Final Determination, 73 FR 70328 (November
20, 2008) (Citric Acid from the PRC Prelim).
In these investigations, the six-month period beginning on the date
of the publication of the preliminary determinations (i.e., November
20, 2008) ended on May 19, 2009. Furthermore, section 737 of the Act
states that definitive duties are to begin on the date of publication
of the ITC's final injury determination. Therefore, in accordance with
section 733(d) of the Act, we will instruct CBP to terminate the
suspension of liquidation and to liquidate, without regard to

Antidumping Duty Orders
On May 22, 2009, in accordance with section 735(d) of the Act, the
ITC notified the Department of its final determinations that an
industry in the United States is materially injured within the meaning
of section 735(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Act by reason of less-than-fair-value
imports of citric acid from Canada and the PRC.
In accordance with section 736(a)(1) of the Act, the Department
will direct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to assess, upon
further advice by the Department, antidumping duties equal to the
amount by which the normal value of the merchandise exceeds the export
price or constructed export price of the merchandise for all relevant
entries of citric acid from Canada and the PRC. These antidumping
duties will be assessed on all unliquidated entries of citric acid
entered from Canada and the PRC, or withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after November 20, 2008, the date on which the
Department published its notices of preliminary determination in the
Federal Register, but prior to May 19, 2009. See Citric Acid from
Canada Prelim, 73 FR at 70324; and Citric Acid from the PRC Prelim, 73
FR at 70328.
On or after the date of publication of the ITC's notice of final
determinations in the Federal Register, CBP will require, pursuant to
section 736(a)(3) of the Act, will require, at the same time as
importers would normally deposit estimated duties on this merchandise,
