Background
On April 1, 2014, the Department
initiated 1 and the ITC instituted 2 fiveyear (sunset) reviews of the AD orders
on citric acid from Canada and the PRC,
and the CVD order on citric acid from
the PRC, pursuant to sections 751(c) and
752 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (the Act). As a result of its
reviews, the Department determined
that revocation of the AD orders on
citric acid from Canada and the PRC
would likely lead to a continuation or
recurrence of dumping, and that
revocation of the CVD order on citric
acid from the PRC would likely lead to
continuation or recurrence of net
countervailable subsidies. Therefore, the
Department notified the ITC of the
magnitude of the margins of dumping
and the subsidy rates likely to prevail
should the orders be revoked, pursuant
to sections 752(b) and (c) of the Act.3
On June 17, 2015, the ITC published
its determinations, pursuant to sections
751(c)(1) and 752(a) of the Act, that
revocation of the AD orders on citric
acid from Canada and the PRC, and the
CVD order on citric acid from the PRC
would likely lead to continuation or
