The Commerce Department is issuing antidumping and countervailing duty orders on alkyl phosphate esters from China (A-570-168/C-570-169). The orders, published June 11, set permanent antidumping and countervailing duties, which will remain in place unless revoked by Commerce in a sunset or changed circumstances review. Commerce will now begin conducting annual administrative reviews, if requested, to determine final assessments of AD/CVD on importers and make changes to cash deposit rates.
The Commerce Department amended its preliminary affirmative antidumping duty determinations on thermoformed molded fiber products from China (A-570-182) to correct calculation errors. The changes result in steep drops in AD rates for many Chinese exporters, from over 300% and in some cases over 450% to under 150%. The agency said the amended AD cash deposit rates are applicable June 11.
During oral argument Tuesday in federal court regarding consolidated challenges to the FTC's "click-to-cancel" rule, judges pressed the agency about its failure to conduct a preliminary regulatory analysis (PRA). NCTA, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and others petitioned the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals regarding the rule (see 2411220029), which is aimed at making it easier to cancel negative option contracts where consumers have to actively opt out of monthly subscriptions. The rule was adopted last year, and the compliance deadline is July 14 (see 2505120004).

The Commerce Department is ending its antidumping duty investigation on large top mount combination refrigerator-freezers from Thailand (A-549-853), after the domestic producer that sought the investigation withdrew its AD petition, Commerce said in a notice released June 10. Electrolux Consumer Products withdrew its petition at the end of May. Commerce will refund all AD cash deposits collected during the investigation, which had been imposed following Commerce’s affirmative preliminary determination Jan 29, 2025 (see 2501290030). The agency also will direct CBP to end suspension of liquidation for large top-mount refrigerator-freezers from Thailand.

Rep. Dan Goldman, D-N.Y., co-chairman of the Congressional Public Broadcasting Caucus, is seeking to strip out a proposal to claw back CPB’s $1.1 billion in advance funding for FY 2026 and FY 2027 from the 2025 Rescissions Act (HR-4). The lower chamber moves toward GOP leaders’ expected push to pass the measure this week (see 2506030065). Meanwhile, the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia on Sunday rejected a preliminary injunction request from a trio of CPB board members who are challenging Trump’s disputed April move to fire them (see 2504290067).
