SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The review covers one producer and exporter of the subject 
merchandise, JBL Canada. On February 24, 2014, the Department published 
in the Federal Register the preliminary results of the instant 
administrative review of the antidumping duty order on citric acid from 
Canada. We invited parties to comment on the preliminary results of the 
review. In March 2014, we received case and rebuttal briefs from Archer 
Daniels Midland Company, Cargill, Incorporated, and Tate & Lyle 
Ingredients Americas LLC (collectively, the petitioners) and JBL 
Canada. The Department has conducted this administrative review in 
accordance with section 751 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 
Act).

Scope of the Order

    The merchandise covered by this order is citric acid and certain 
citrate salts. The product is currently classified in the Harmonized 
Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) at item numbers 
2918.14.0000 and 2918.15.1000, 2918.15.5000 and 3824.90.9290. Although 
the HTSUS numbers are provided for convenience and customs purposes, 
the full written scope description, as described in the memorandum 
entitled ``Issues and Decision Memorandum for the Final Results of the 
2012-2013 Antidumping Duty Administrative Review of Citric Acid and 
Certain Citrate Salts from Canada,'' dated concurrently with and hereby 
adopted by this notice (Issues and Decision Memorandum), remains 
dispositive.

Period of Review

    The POR is May 1, 2012, through April 30, 2013.

Analysis of Comments Received

    All issues raised by parties in the case and rebuttal briefs are 
addressed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum. A list of the issues 
raised is attached to this notice as Appendix I. The Issues and 
Decision Memorandum is a public document and is on file electronically 
via Enforcement and Compliance's Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Centralized Electronic Service System (IA ACCESS). IA ACCESS is 
available to registered users at http://iaaccess.trade.gov; the Issues 
and Decision Memorandum is available to all parties in the Central 
Records Unit (CRU), room 7046 of the main Department of Commerce 
building. In addition, a complete version of the Issues and Decision 
Memorandum can be accessed directly at http://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/. The signed and electronic versions of the Issues and Decision 
Memorandum are identical in content.

Changes Since The Preliminary Results

    Based on a review of the record and comments received from 
interested parties regarding our Preliminary Results, we recalculated 
JBL Canada's

weighted-average dumping margin. Our calculations are discussed in 
detail in the accompanying final calculation memorandum.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ See Memorandum to the File entitled, ``Final Results Margin 
Calculations for Jungbunzlauer Canada Inc.,'' dated concurrently 
with and hereby adopted by this notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Final Results of the Review

    We determine that a weighted-average dumping margin of 0.55 percent 
exists for entries of subject merchandise that were produced and/or 
exported by JBL Canada and that entered, or were withdrawn from 
warehouse, for consumption during the period May 1, 2012, through April 
30, 2013.

Assessment Rates

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), the Department shall determine, 
and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping 
duties on all appropriate entries in accordance with the final results 
of this review. Pursuant to 19 CFR 356.8(a), the Department intends to 
issue appropriate appraisement instructions for the respondent subject 
to this review directly to CBP 41 days after the date of publication of 
the final results of this review.
    As we stated in the Preliminary Results, we calculated importer-
specific ad valorem duty assessment rates based on the ratio of the 
total amount of antidumping duties calculated for the examined sales to 
the total entered value of the examined sales to that importer.\3\ We 
will instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate 
entries covered by this review if any importer-specific assessment rate 
calculated in the final results of this review is above de minimis 
(i.e., at or above 0.50 percent). Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2), we 
will instruct CBP to liquidate without regard to antidumping duties any 
entries for which the assessment rate is de minimis (i.e., less than 
0.50 percent). The final results of this review shall be the basis for 
the assessment of antidumping duties on entries of merchandise covered 
by the final results of this review and for future deposits of 
estimated duties, where applicable.

Cash Deposit Requirements

    The following cash deposit requirements will be effective for all 
shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from 
warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date of the 
final results of this administrative review, as provided by section 
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) The cash deposit rate for JBL Canada will 
be that established in the final results of this review, (2) for 
previously reviewed or investigated companies not participating in this 
review, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the company-specific 
rate published for the most recent period; (3) if the exporter is not a 
firm covered in this review, a previous review, or the original less-
than-fair-value (LTFV) investigation, but the manufacturer is, the cash 
deposit rate will be the rate established for the most recent period 
for the manufacturer of the merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate 
for all other manufacturers or exporters will continue to be 23.21 
percent, the all-others rate made effective by the LTFV investigation. 
See Citric Acid and Certain Citrate Salts From Canada and the People's 
Republic of China: Antidumping Duty Orders, 74 FR 25703 (May 29, 2009). 
These deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until 
further notice.

Notification to Importers

    This notice also serves as a final reminder to importers of their 
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f) to file a certificate regarding 
the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation of the 
relevant entries during this review period. Failure to comply with this 
requirement could result in the Secretary's presumption that 
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent 
assessment of double antidumping duties.

Notification to Interested Parties

    In accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), 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, which continues to govern business 
proprietary information in this segment of the proceeding. Timely 
written notification of the return or 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 administrative review and notice are published in accordance 
with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: June 24, 2014.
Paul Piquado,
Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
