INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION

[Investigation Nos. 701-TA-581 and 731-TA-1374-1376 (Preliminary)]


Citric Acid and Certain Citrate Salts From Belgium, Colombia, and 
Thailand

Determinations

    On the basis of the record \1\ developed in the subject 
investigations, the United States International Trade Commission 
(``Commission'') determines, pursuant to the Tariff Act of 1930 (``the 
Act''), that there is a reasonable indication that an industry in the 
United States is materially injured by reason of imports of citric acid 
and certain citrate salts from Belgium, Colombia, and Thailand, 
provided for in subheadings 2918.14, 2918.15, and 3824.99 of the 
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States, that are allegedly 
sold at less than fair value (``LTFV'') and that are allegedly 
subsidized by the government of Thailand.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The record is defined in sec. 207.2(f) of the Commission's 
Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 207.2(f)).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Commencement of Final Phase Investigations

    Pursuant to section 207.18 of the Commission's rules, the 
Commission also gives notice of the commencement of the final phase of 
its investigations. The Commission will issue a final phase notice of 
scheduling, which will be published in the Federal Register as provided 
in section 207.21 of the Commission's rules, upon notice from the 
Department of Commerce (``Commerce'') of affirmative preliminary 
determinations in the investigations under sections 703(b) or 733(b) of 
the Act, or, if the preliminary determinations are negative, upon 
notice of affirmative final determinations in those investigations 
under sections 705(a) or 735(a) of the Act. Parties that filed entries 
of appearance in the preliminary phase of

[[Page 33926]]

the investigations need not enter a separate appearance for the final 
phase of the investigations. Industrial users, and, if the merchandise 
under investigation is sold at the retail level, representative 
consumer organizations have the right to appear as parties in 
Commission antidumping and countervailing duty investigations. The 
Secretary will prepare a public service list containing the names and 
addresses of all persons, or their representatives, who are parties to 
the investigations.

Background

    On June 2, 2017, Archer Daniels Midland Company (Decatur, 
Illinois), Cargill, Inc. (Minneapolis, Minnesota), and Tate & Lyle 
Ingredients Americas LLC (Hoffman Estates, Illinois) filed a petition 
with the Commission and Commerce, alleging that an industry in the 
United States is materially injured or threatened with material injury 
by reason of subsidized imports of citric acid and certain citrate 
salts from Thailand and LTFV imports of citric acid and certain citrate 
salts from Belgium, Colombia, and Thailand. Accordingly, effective June 
2, 2017, the Commission, pursuant to sections 703(a) and 733(a) of the 
Act (19 U.S.C. 1671b(a) and 1673b(a)), instituted countervailing duty 
investigation No. 701-TA-581 and antidumping duty investigation Nos. 
731-TA-1374-1376 (Preliminary).
    Notice of the institution of the Commission's investigations and of 
a public conference to be held in connection therewith was given by 
posting copies of the notice in the Office of the Secretary, U.S. 
International Trade Commission, Washington, DC, and by publishing the 
notice in the Federal Register of June 8, 2017 (82 FR 26712). The 
conference was held in Washington, DC, on June 23, 2017, and all 
persons who requested the opportunity were permitted to appear in 
person or by counsel.
    The Commission made these determinations pursuant to sections 
703(a) and 733(a) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1671b(a) and 1673b(a)). It 
completed and filed its determinations in these investigations on July 
17, 2017. The views of the Commission are contained in USITC 
Publication 4710 (July 2017), entitled Citric Acid and Certain Citrate 
Salts from Belgium, Colombia, and Thailand: Investigation Nos. 701-TA-
581 and 731-TA-1374-1376 (Preliminary).
