                Citric Acid and Certain Citrate Salts From China; Scheduling of
                Expedited Five-Year Reviews
                AGENCY: United States International Trade Commission.
                ACTION: Notice.
                -----------------------------------------------------------------------
                SUMMARY: The Commission hereby gives notice of the scheduling of
                expedited reviews pursuant to the Tariff Act of 1930 (``the Act'') to
                determine whether revocation of the countervailing and antidumping duty
                orders on citric acid and certain citrate salts from China would be
                likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury within
                a reasonably foreseeable time.
                DATES: August 4, 2020.

                SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
                 Background.--On August 4, 2020, the Commission determined that the
                domestic interested party group response to its notice of institution
                (85 FR 25475, May 1, 2020) of the subject five-year reviews was
                adequate and that the respondent interested party group response was
                inadequate. The Commission did not find any other circumstances that
                would warrant conducting full reviews.\1\ Accordingly, the Commission
                determined that it would conduct expedited reviews pursuant to section
                751(c)(3) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1675(c)(3)).
                ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
                 \1\ A record of the Commissioners' votes is available from the
                Office of the Secretary and at the Commission's website.
                ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
                 For further information concerning the conduct of these reviews and
                rules of general application, consult the Commission's Rules of
                Practice and Procedure, part 201, subparts A and B (19 CFR part 201),
                and part 207, subparts A, D, E, and F (19 CFR part 207).
                 Please note the Secretary's Office will accept only electronic
                filings at this time. Filings must be made through the Commission's
                Electronic Document Information System (EDIS, https://edis.usitc.gov).
                No in-person paper-based filings or paper copies of any electronic
                filings will be accepted until further notice.
                 Staff report.--A staff report containing information concerning the
                subject matter of the reviews will be placed in the nonpublic record on
                November 17, 2020, and made available to persons on the Administrative
                Protective Order service list for these reviews. A public version will
                be issued thereafter, pursuant to section 207.62(d)(4) of the
                Commission's rules.
                 Written submissions.--As provided in section 207.62(d) of the
                Commission's rules, interested parties that are parties to the reviews
                and that have provided individually adequate responses to the notice of
                institution,\2\ and any party other than an interested party to the
                reviews may file written comments with the Secretary on what
                determination the Commission should reach in the reviews. Comments are
                due on or before November 23, 2020 and may not contain new factual
                information. Any person that is neither a party to the five-year
                reviews nor an interested party may submit a brief written statement
                (which shall not contain any new factual information) pertinent to the
                reviews by November 23, 2020. However, should the Department of
                Commerce (``Commerce'') extend the time limit for its completion of the
                final results of its reviews, the deadline for comments (which may not
                contain new factual information) on Commerce's final results is three
                business days after the issuance of Commerce's results. If comments
                contain business proprietary information (BPI), they must conform with
                the requirements of sections 201.6, 207.3, and 207.7 of the
                Commission's rules. The Commission's Handbook on Filing Procedures,
                available on the Commission's website at https://www.usitc.gov/documents/handbook_on_filing_procedures.pdf, elaborates upon the
                Commission's procedures with respect to filings.
                ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
                 \2\ The Commission has found the joint response to its notice of
                institution filed on behalf of domestic producers of citric acid and
                certain citrate salts, Archer Daniels Midland Company, Cargill,
                Incorporated, and Tate & Lyle Ingredients Americas LLC
                (collectively, ``domestic interested parties''), to be individually
                adequate. Comments from other interested parties will not be
                accepted (see 19 CFR 207.62(d)(2)).
                ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
                 In accordance with sections 201.16(c) and 207.3 of the rules, each
                document filed by a party to the reviews must be served on all other
                parties to the reviews (as identified by either the public or BPI
                service list), and a certificate of service must be timely filed. The
                Secretary will not accept a document for filing without a certificate
                of service.
                 Determination.--The Commission has determined these reviews are
                extraordinarily complicated and therefore has determined to exercise
                its authority to extend the review period by up to 90 days pursuant to
                19 U.S.C. 1675(c)(5)(B).
                 Authority: These reviews are being conducted under authority of
                title VII of the Tariff Act of 1930; this notice is published
                pursuant to section 207.62 of the Commission's rules.
                 By order of the Commission.
                 Issued: November 18, 2020.

                Secretary to the Commission.
