SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

On November 3, 2014, the Commission established a schedule for the conduct of the final phase of the subject investigations (79 FR 75591, December 18, 2014). On December 19, 2014, the Department of Commerce suspended the antidumping and countervailing duty investigations on sugar from Mexico (79 FR 78039, 78044, December 29, 2014). Subsequently, the Department of Commerce received timely requests to continue the antidumping and countervailing duty investigations on sugar from Mexico and resumed its investigations on May 4, 2015 (80 FR 25278, May 4, 2015). The Commission, therefore, is revising its schedule to conform with Commerce's new schedule.

The Commission's new schedule for the investigation is as follows. The prehearing staff report will be placed in the nonpublic record on August 28, 2015. The deadline for filing prehearing briefs is September 4, 2015. Requests to appear at the hearing must be filed with the Secretary to the Commission not later than September 11, 2015. The prehearing conference will be held at the U.S. International Trade Commission Building on September 14, 2015, if deemed necessary. The hearing will be held at the U.S. International Trade Commission Building at 9:30 a.m. on September 16, 2015. The deadline for filing posthearing briefs is September 23, 2015. The Commission will make its final release of information on October 14, 2015; and final party comments are due on October 16, 2015.
