SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On May 1, 2015, the Department published in the Federal Register a 
notice of ``Opportunity to Request Administrative Review'' of the 
countervailing duty order on citric acid and certain citrate salts 
(citric acid) from the People's Republic of China (PRC) for the period 
of January 1, 2014, through December 31, 2014.\1\ In May and June 2015, 
the Department received timely requests,\2\ in accordance with section 
751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 
351.213(b), for an administrative review of this countervailing duty 
order from the Archer Daniels Midland Company, Cargill, Incorporated, 
and Tate & Lyle Ingredients Americas LLC (collectively, ``the 
petitioners''); Laiwu Taihe Biochemistry Co., Ltd. (Taihe); and RZBC 
Co., Ltd./RZBC Import & Export Co., Ltd./RZBC (Juxian) Co., Ltd. 
(collectively, ``RZBC Group'').\3\ On July 1, 2015, the Department 
published in the Federal Register a notice of initiation with respect 
to Taihe and RZBC Group.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or 
Suspended Investigation; Opportunity to Request Administrative 
Review, 80 FR 24898 (May 1, 2015).
    \2\ Because the last day of the anniversary month fell on a 
weekend, we note that the last day parties could timely request an 
administrative review of orders with May anniversary dates was June 
1, 2015. Therefore, the petitioners' review request dated June 1, 
2015, was timely filed.
    \3\ See letters requesting an administrative review from the 
Taihe, RZBC Group, and the petitioners, dated May 28, May 29, and 
June 1, 2015, respectively.
    \4\ See Initiation of Antidumping Duty Administrative Reviews, 
80 FR 37588 (July 1, 2015).

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

[[Page 59732]]

    In July 2015, the petitioners, Taihe, and RZBC Group withdrew their 
administrative review requests.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See the letter withdrawing request for an administrative 
review from RZBC Group, dated July 2, 2015; see also the letters 
withdrawing requests for an administrative review from the 
petitioners and Taihe, dated July 31, 2015.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rescission of Review

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Department will rescind an 
administrative review, in whole or in part, if a party that requested a 
review withdraws the request within 90 days of the date of publication 
of notice of initiation of the requested review. The petitioners, 
Taihe, and RZBC Group each withdrew their requests for review by the 
90-day deadline. Therefore, we are rescinding the administrative review 
of the countervailing duty order on citric acid from the PRC covering 
the period January 1, 2014, through December 31, 2014.

Assessment

    The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
(CBP) to assess countervailing duties on all appropriate entries. 
Countervailing duties shall be assessed at rates equal to the cash 
deposit of estimated countervailing duties required at the time of 
entry, or withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption, in accordance 
with 19 CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i). The Department intends to issue 
appropriate assessment instructions directly to CBP 15 days after the 
date of publication of this notice in the Federal Register.

Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Order

    This notice serves as the only reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under 
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely written 
notification of return/destruction of APO materials or conversion to 
judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to comply with 
the regulations and the terms of an APO is a sanctionable violation.
    This notice is published in accordance with section 751 of the Act 
and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: September 25, 2015.
