SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce
(‘‘the Department’’) is conducting the
seventh administrative review (‘‘AR’’) of
the antidumping duty order on citric
acid and certain citrate salts (‘‘citric
acid’’) from the People’s Republic of
China (‘‘PRC’’). The Department
selected two companies, RZBC Co., Ltd.,
RZBC Import & Export Co., Ltd., and
RZBC (Juxian) Co., Ltd. (collectively,
‘‘RZBC’’) and Laiwu Taihe Biochemistry
Co., Ltd. (‘‘Taihe’’), as mandatory
respondents for individual examination.
The period of review (‘‘POR’’) for the
AR is May 1, 2015 through April 30,
2016. The Department is rescinding the
review with respect to RZBC. Further,
the Department preliminarily finds that
Taihe is part of the PRC-wide entity.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Rescission of Administrative Review in
Part
On May 31, 2016, Archer Daniels
Midland Company, Cargill,
Incorporated, and Tate & Lyle
Ingredients Americas LLC (collectively
‘‘Petitioners’’) requested an AR of
subject merchandise exported by RZBC,
Taihe, and an additional 16 companies.
Subsequently, on October 5, 2016,
Petitioners timely withdrew their
request for an AR of RZBC.2 No other
party requested a review with respect to
RZBC. Therefore, the Department,
pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), is
rescinding this AR with respect to
RZBC.

Preliminary Determination of No
Shipments
Two companies for which a review
was requested, Niran (Thailand) Co.,
Ltd. (‘‘Niran’’) and Niran Biochemical
Limited (‘‘Niran Biochemical’’), timely
submitted certifications indicating that
they had no exports, sales, shipments,
or entries of subject merchandise during
the POR. Consistent with our practice,
the Department requested that U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’)
conduct a query on potential shipments
made by Niran and Niran Biochemical
during the POR; CBP provided no
evidence that contradicted the
companies’ claims of no shipments.
Based on the no shipment certifications
submitted by Niran and Niran
Biochemical, and our analysis of the
CBP information, we preliminarily
determine that Niran and Niran
Biochemical had no shipments during
the POR. However, consistent with our
practice in non-market economy
(‘‘NME’’) cases, the Department intends
to complete the review with respect to
Niran and Niran Biochemical and issue
appropriate instructions to CBP based
on the final results of the review.
Methodology
The Department is conducting this AR
in accordance with section 751(a)(1)(B)
of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended
(‘‘the Act’’). For a full description of the
methodology underlying our
conclusions, see the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum.3 This

is on file electronically via Enforcement
and Compliance’s Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Centralized
Electronic Service System (‘‘ACCESS’’).

Preliminary Results of Review
The Department’s change in policy
regarding conditional review of the
PRC-wide entity applies to this AR.4
Aside from RZBC, for which the AR is
being rescinded, the Department
considers all other companies for which
a review was requested to be part of the
PRC-wide entity. Because Taihe did not
respond to the Department’s original
questionnaire and did not provide
separate rate information, Taihe has not
established its eligibility for separate
rate status and, therefore, is part of the
PRC-wide entity.
In addition to Taihe, 14 companies
listed in the Initiation Notice and, thus,
subject to this AR, failed to provide
separate rate applications or separate
rate certifications necessary to establish
their eligibility for a separate rate.
Therefore, the Department preliminarily
determines that these 14 companies are
not eligible for a separate rate and are
part of the PRC-wide entity.
The rate previously established for the
PRC-wide entity in this proceeding is
156.87 percent.5 For additional
information, see the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum.

of Change in Department Practice for Respondent
Selection in Antidumping Duty Proceedings and

FR 65963 (November 4, 2013). Under this policy,
the PRC-wide entity will not be under review
unless a party specifically requests, or the
Department self-initiates, a review of the entity.
Because no party requested a review of the PRCwide entity in this review, the entity’s rate (i.e.,
156.87 percent) is not subject to change.

Time, within 30 days after the date of
publication of this notice.10 Hearing
requests should contain: (1) The party’s
name, address and telephone number;
(2) the number of participants; and (3)
a list of issues to be discussed. Issues
raised in the hearing will be limited to
those issues raised in the respective case
briefs. If a request for a hearing is made,
parties will be notified of the time and
date of the hearing which will be held
at the U.S. Department of Commerce,
1401 Constitution Avenue NW.,
Washington, DC 20230.
The Department intends to issue the
final results of this AR, including the
results of its analysis of the issues raised
in any written briefs, not later than 120
days after the date of publication of this
notice, unless extended, pursuant to
section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.
Assessment Rates
Upon issuance of the final results, the
Department will determine, and CBP
shall assess, antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries covered by this
review.11 The Department intends to
issue assessment instructions to CBP 15
days after the publication date of the
final results of this review. The
Department intends to instruct CBP to
liquidate entries of subject merchandise
from the PRC-wide entity, including
entries of subject merchandise from
Taihe, at 156.87 percent (the PRC-wide
rate).12
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective upon
publication of the final results of this
AR for all shipments of the subject
merchandise entered, or withdrawn
from warehouse, for consumption on or
after the publication date of the final
results of review, as provided by section
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For
previously investigated or reviewed PRC
and non-PRC exporters which are not
under review in this segment of the
proceeding but which have separate
rates, the cash deposit rate will continue
to be the exporter-specific rate
published for the most recently
completed segment of this proceeding;
(2) for all PRC exporters of subject
merchandise that have not been found
to be entitled to a separate rate, the cash
deposit rate will be the rate for the PRCwide entity, 156.87 percent; and (3) for
all non-PRC exporters of subject
merchandise which have not received
their own rate, the cash deposit rate will
be the rate applicable to the PRC
exporter(s) that supplied that non-PRC
exporter. These deposit requirements,
when imposed, shall remain in effect
until further notice.
Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as a
preliminary reminder to importers of
their responsibility under 19 CFR
351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement of
antidumping duties prior to liquidation
of the relevant entries during this
review period. Failure to comply with
this requirement could result in the
Department’s presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties
occurred and the subsequent assessment
of double antidumping duties.
We are issuing and publishing these
results in accordance with sections
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19
CFR 351.213 and 351.221(b)(4).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Scope of the Order
The products covered by the order include 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

Preliminary Determination of No Shipments
Two companies for which a review was requested, Niran (Thailand)
Co., Ltd. (``Niran'') and Niran Biochemical Limited (``Niran
Biochemical''), timely submitted certifications indicating that they
had no exports, sales, shipments, or entries of subject merchandise
during the POR. Consistent with our practice, the Department requested
that U.S. Customs and Border Protection (``CBP'') conduct a query on
potential shipments made by Niran and Niran Biochemical during the POR;
CBP provided no evidence that contradicted the companies' claims of no
shipments. Based on the no shipment certifications submitted by Niran
and Niran Biochemical, and our analysis of the CBP information, we
preliminarily determine that Niran and Niran Biochemical had no
shipments during the POR. However, consistent with our practice in non-
market economy (``NME'') cases, the Department intends to complete the
review with respect to Niran and Niran Biochemical and issue
appropriate instructions to CBP based on the final results of the
review.
Methodology
The Department is conducting this AR in accordance with section

Preliminary Results of Review
The Department's change in policy regarding conditional review of
the PRC-wide entity applies to this AR.\4\ Aside from RZBC, for which
the AR is being rescinded, the Department considers all other companies
for which a review was requested to be part of the PRC-wide entity.
Because Taihe did not respond to the Department's original
questionnaire and did not provide separate rate information, Taihe has
not established its eligibility for separate rate status and,
therefore, is part of the PRC-wide entity.

Department Practice for Respondent Selection in Antidumping Duty
Proceedings and Conditional Review of the Nonmarket Economy Entity
in NME Antidumping Duty Proceedings, 78 FR 65963 (November 4, 2013).
Under this policy, the PRC-wide entity will not be under review
unless a party specifically requests, or the Department self-
initiates, a review of the entity. Because no party requested a
review of the PRC-wide entity in this review, the entity's rate
(i.e., 156.87 percent) is not subject to change.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In addition to Taihe, 14 companies listed in the Initiation Notice
and, thus, subject to this AR, failed to provide separate rate
applications or separate rate certifications necessary to establish
their eligibility for a separate rate. Therefore, the Department
preliminarily determines that these 14 companies are not eligible for a
separate rate and are part of the PRC-wide entity.
The rate previously established for the PRC-wide entity in this
proceeding is 156.87 percent.\5\ For additional information, see the
