SUMMARY: As a result of determinations
by the Department of Commerce
(Commerce) that termination of the
Agreements Suspending the
Antidumping (AD) and Countervailing
(CVD) Duty Investigations on Sugar
from Mexico, as amended (the
Agreements), and the suspended AD
and CVD investigations on sugar from
Mexico would likely lead to a
continuation or recurrence of dumping
and countervailable subsidies, and by
the International Trade Commission
(ITC) that termination of the suspended
AD and CVD investigations would likely
lead to material injury to an industry in
the United States, Commerce is
publishing this notice of continuation of
the AD and CVD Agreements on sugar
from Mexico.
DATES: Applicable April 30, 2020.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On December 3, 2019, Commerce
published the initiation of the first
sunset reviews of the AD and CVD
Agreements, pursuant to section 751(c)
of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended
(the Act).1 On December 18, 2019, we
received notices of intent to participate
in the sunset reviews from the following
1 See Initiation of Five-Year (Sunset) Reviews, 84
FR 58687 (November 1, 2019); Initiation of FiveYear (Sunset) Review; Correction, 84 FR 66153

parties (both of which are domestic
interested parties) within the deadline
specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i):
Imperial Sugar Company (Imperial
Sugar) and the American Sugar
Coalition (ASC).2
On January 2, 2020, Commerce
received complete substantive responses
from the domestic interested parties
within the 30-day deadline specified in
19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i).3 Commerce
received no substantive responses from
respondent interested parties. Pursuant
to section 751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 19
CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2), Commerce
conducted expedited sunset reviews of
the AD and CVD Agreements.
As a result of its reviews, pursuant to
sections 751(c) and 752(b) and (c) of the
Act, Commerce determined that
termination of the AD and CVD
Agreements and suspended AD and
CVD investigations on sugar from
Mexico would likely lead to a
continuation or recurrence of dumping
and countervailable subsidies.
Therefore, Commerce notified the ITC of
the magnitude of the margin likely to
prevail and the net countervailable
subsidy rates likely to prevail should
the AD and CVD Agreements be
terminated, in accordance with sections
752(b)(3) and (c)(3) of the Act.4
On April 24, 2020, pursuant to section
751(c) of the Act, the ITC published its
determination that termination of the
suspended AD and CVD duty
investigations on sugar from Mexico
would be likely to lead to continuation
or recurrence of material injury to an
industry in the United States within a
reasonably foreseeable time pursuant to
sections 751(c) and 752(a) of the Act.5
