Countervailing Duty Suspension Agreement on Sugar From Mexico: Rescission of 2014-2015 and 2015-2016 Administrative Reviews On May 1, 2017, the Department notified the Government of Mexico (GOM) of its intent to terminate the Agreement Suspending the Antidumping Duty Investigation on sugar from Mexico (CVD Agreement) unless a new agreement was reached on or before June 5, 2017. The Department subsequently modified its notice of intent to terminate the CVD Agreement, stating its continued intent to terminate the CVD Agreement unless an amended agreement was reached on or before June 6, 2017. Because the Department intends to terminate the CVD Agreement, or, in the alternative, amend the CVD Agreement prior to the expiration of the termination period, the two ongoing administrative reviews of the original CVD Agreement are now moot, and the Department is rescinding both reviews.
