Commerce by Ventura Coastal LLC, Ventura, California. The Commission 
scheduled the final phase of the investigations following notification 
of preliminary determinations by Commerce that imports of lemon juice 
from Brazil and South Africa were being sold at LTFV within the meaning 
of section 733(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1673b(b)). Notice of the 
scheduling and subsequent revised schedule of the final phase of the 
Commission's investigations and of a public hearing to be held in 
connection therewith was given by posting copies of the notices in the

Washington, DC, and by publishing the notices in the Federal Register 
of August 23, 2022 (87 FR 51701) and September 28, 2022 (87 FR 58821). 
The Commission conducted its hearing on December 15, 2022. All persons 
who requested the opportunity were permitted to participate.
    The Commission made these determinations pursuant to Sec.  735(b) 
of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1673d(b)). It completed and filed its 
determinations in these investigations on February 6, 2023. The views
