    expedited reviews pursuant to the Tariff Act of 1930 (``the Act'') to
    determine whether revocation of the antidumping and countervailing 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: March 6, 2026.

    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
        Background.--On March 6, 2026, the Commission determined that the
    domestic interested party group response to its notice of institution
    (90 FR 55172, December 1, 2025) 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

    [[Page 14713]]

    conducting full review.\1\ Accordingly, the Commission determined that
    it would conduct expedited reviews pursuant to section 751(c)(3) of the
    Act (19 U.S.C. 1675(c)(3)).
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

        \1\ A record of the Commissioners' votes, the Commission's
    statement on adequacy, and any individual Commissioner's statements
    will be 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).
        Staff report.--A staff report containing information concerning the
    subject matter of the reviews has been placed in the nonpublic record,
    and will be made available to persons on the Administrative Protective
    Order service list for these reviews on April 23, 2026. A public
    version will be issued thereafter, pursuant to Sec.  207.62(d)(4) of
    the Commission's rules.
        Written submissions.--As provided in Sec.  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 5:15 p.m. on April 28, 2026, 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 April 28, 2026. 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 Sec. Sec.  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 responses submitted on behalf
    of Archer-Daniels-Midland Company, Cargill, Incorporated, and
    Primary Products Ingredients Americas LLC to be individually
    adequate. Comments from other interested parties will not be
    accepted (see 19 CFR 207.62(d)(2)).
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

        In accordance with Sec. Sec.  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 Sec.  207.62 of the Commission's rules.

        By order of the Commission.

        Issued: March 23, 2026.
    Lisa Barton,
    Secretary to the Commission.
