SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

On November 15, 2023, the Commission established a schedule for the conduct of the full five-year reviews (88 FR 81100, November 21, 2023). On May 8, 2024, counsel for Archer-Daniels-Midland Company (“ADM”), Cargill, Incorporated (“Cargill”), and Primary Products Ingredients Americas LLC (“Primient”) (collectively, the “domestic interested parties”) filed a request to appear at the hearing. No other party submitted a request to appear at the hearing. On May 9, 2024, counsel for the domestic interested parties filed a request that the Commission cancel the scheduled hearing for these reviews given the lack of respondent interested party participation. Counsel indicated a willingness to submit written responses to any Commission questions. Consequently, the public hearing in connection with these reviews, scheduled to begin at 9:30 a.m. on Thursday, May 16, 2024, is cancelled. Parties to these reviews should respond to any written questions posed by the Commission in their posthearing briefs, which are due to be filed on May 28, 2024.

For further information concerning these reviews see the Commission's notice cited above and 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).

By order of the Commission.
