The Petition
On November 30, 2017, the U.S.
Department of Commerce (Commerce)
received a countervailing duty (CVD)
Petition concerning imports of sodium
gluconate, gluconic acid, and derivative
product (GNA Products) from the
People’s Republic of China (China),
filed in proper form on behalf of PMP
Fermentation Products, Inc. (the
petitioner).1 The CVD Petition was
accompanied by antidumping duty (AD)
Petitions concerning imports of GNA
Products from China and France. The
petitioner is a domestic producer of
GNA Products.2
On December 5, 2017, Commerce
requested supplemental information
pertaining to certain areas of the
Petition.3 The petitioner filed responses
to these requests on December 7, 2017,
which included revised scope
language.4 On December 14, 2017,
1 See Letter from petitioner to the Secretary of
Commerce ‘‘Petition for Antidumping and
Countervailing Duties: Sodium Gluconate, Gluconic
Acid, and Derivative Products from the People’s
Republic of China and France,’’ dated November 30,
2017 (Petition).

3 See Letter from Robert Bolling, Program
Manager, AD/CVD Operation, Office IV,
Enforcement and Compliance ‘‘Petition for the
Imposition of Countervailing Duties on Imports of
Sodium Gluconate, Gluconic Acid and Derivative
Products from the People’s Republic of China:
Supplemental Questions,’’ dated December 5, 2017.
4 See Letter from petitioner to the Secretary of
Commerce ‘‘Countervailing Duty Investigation of
PO 00000
Frm 00001
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Commerce had a conference call with
the petitioner to discuss the scope of the
investigation, and the petitioner filed
revised scope language on December 15,
2017.5
In accordance with section 702(b)(1)
of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended
(the Act), the petitioner alleges that the
Government of China (GOC) is
providing countervailable subsidies,
within the meaning of sections 701 and
771(5) of the Act, to producers of GNA
Products in China, and imports of such
products are materially injuring, or
threatening material injury to, the
domestic GNA Products industry in the
United States. Consistent with section
702(b)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.202(b), for those alleged programs
on which we are initiating a CVD
investigation, the Petition is
accompanied by information reasonably
available to the petitioner supporting its
allegations.
Commerce finds that the petitioner
filed the Petition on behalf of the
domestic industry because the
petitioner is an interested party as
defined in section 771(9)(C) of the Act.
Commerce also finds that the petitioner
demonstrated sufficient industry
support with respect to the initiation of
the CVD investigation that the petitioner
is requesting.6
Period of Investigation
Because the Petition was filed on
November 30, 2017, the period of
investigation is January 1, 2016 through
December 31, 2016.
Scope of the Investigation
The products covered by this
investigation are GNA Products from
Sodium Gluconate, Gluconic Acid and Derivative
Products from the People’s Republic of China:

Questions on the Petition,’’ dated December 7, 2017
