*1351 OPINION

CARMAN, Judge:
Plaintiff brought two cases[1] challenging the constitutionality of the Continued Dumping and Subsidy Offset Act of 2000 ("CDSOA" or "Byrd Amendment").[2] These cases were consolidated by order of the court under Consol. Ct. No. 07-00223. (Order, Consol. Ct. No. 07-00223, Jan. 25, 2012, ECF No. 83.) Plaintiff claims that it unlawfully was denied affected domestic producer ("ADP") status, which would have qualified it to receive distributions for fiscal years 2005-2007 under the CDSOA. The consolidated case is now before the Court on dispositive motions. Defendant United States moves to dismiss each complaint pursuant to USCIT Rule 12(b)(5) for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. (Def.'s Mot. to Dismiss for Failure To State a Claim Upon Which Relief Can Be Granted, Ct. No. 07-00223, May 3, 2011, ECF No. 65 and Ct. No. 07-00281, May 2, 2007, ECF No. 47 ("U.S. Mot.").) The United States International Trade Commission ("ITC") moves for judgment on the pleadings pursuant to USCIT Rule 12(c). (Def. U.S. Int'l Trade Comm'n's Mot. for J. on the Pleadings, Ct. No. 07-00223, May 2, 2011, ECF No. 62 and Ct. No. 07-00281, May 2, 2011, ECF No. 46 ("ITC Mot.").) Defendant-Intervenors Timken US Corp. and MPB Corp. (collectively, "Timken") also move for judgment on the pleadings pursuant to USCIT Rule 12(c). (Def.-Intervenors' Mem. in Supp. of Their Mot. for J. on the Pleadings with Respect to NSK's Compls., Ct. No. 07-00223, May 2, 2011, ECF No. 64 and Ct. No. 07-00281, May 2, 2011, ECF No. 48 ("Timken Mot.").)
Defendant United States also filed a motion to dismiss for lack of ripeness as part of its response to a subsequently-withdrawn application by Plaintiff. (Def. U.S. Customs & Border Prot.'s Mot. to Dismiss & Resp. in Opp'n to Pl.'s App. for Writ of Mandamus 9-12, Court No. 07-00223, Aug. 22, 2007, ECF No. 31 ("U.S.'s Ripeness Mot.").) The government never withdrew this motion, to which Plaintiff responded. (Pl. NSK Corp.'s Resp. to Mots. to Dismiss 5-7, Court No. 07-00223, Apr. 15, 2011, ECF No. 61.)
For the reasons set forth below, Plaintiff's claims related to fiscal year 2005 distributions will be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction, Plaintiff's other claims will be dismissed for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted, the government's motion to dismiss for lack of ripeness will be denied, and the consolidated action will be dismissed.

BACKGROUND
Plaintiff NSK Corp. ("NSK") is a domestic producer of ball bearings that participated in a 1988 investigation conducted by the ITC that culminated in the issuance of antidumping duty orders on ball bearings and spherical plain bearings from Germany, France, Italy, Japan, Romania, Singapore, Sweden and the United Kingdom. (See Compl. 1 ¶¶ 1, 13-14, 16.) During those proceedings, NSK responded to the ITC's questionnaires. (Compl. 1 ¶ 14, Compl. 2 ¶ 5.) NSK declined to indicate to the ITC that it supported the antidumping petition. (Compl. 2 ¶ 20.) The ITC has never included NSK on a published list of ADPs. (Compl. 1 ¶ 22-24, Compl. 2 ¶ 13.)
Plaintiff brought these cases in 2007 to challenge the government's refusal to add *1352 it to the list of entities potentially eligible for distributions for fiscal years 2005-2007. (Compl. 1, Prayer For Relief; Compl. 2, Prayer For Relief.) Shortly after NSK's cases were filed, the court stayed the actions pending final resolution of other litigation raising the same or similar issues.[3] Following the decision of the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in SKF USA Inc. v. U.S. Customs and Border Protection, 556 F.3d 1337 (Fed.Cir.2009) ("SKF USA II"), this Court ordered Plaintiff to show cause why its cases should not be dismissed. (Order, Ct. No. 07-00223, Jan. 3, 2011, ECF No. 42; Order, Ct. No. 07-00281, Jan. 3, 2011, ECF No. 24.) After Plaintiff responded to the Court's order, the Court lifted the stay in both of Plaintiff's cases for all purposes. (Order, Ct. No. 07-00223, Feb. 9, 2011, ECF No. 45; Order, Ct. No. 07-00281, Feb. 9, 2011, ECF No. 27.)[4] The motions now before us were filed thereafter.

JURISDICTION
The Court exercises subject matter jurisdiction over this action pursuant to section 201 of the Customs Courts Act of 1980, 28 U.S.C. § 1581(i)(4), which grants the Court of International Trade exclusive jurisdiction of any civil action commenced against the United States that arises out of any law providing for administration and enforcement with respect to, inter alia, the matters referred to in § 1581(i)(2), which are "tariffs, duties, fees, or other taxes on the importation of merchandise for reasons other than the raising of revenue." The CDSOA, out of which this action arises, is such a law. See Furniture Brands Int'l, Inc. v. United States, 35 CIT ___, ___ - ___, 807 F.Supp.2d 1301, 1307-10 (2011).

DISCUSSION
The CDSOA amended the Tariff Act of 1930 to provide for an annual distribution (a "continuing dumping and subsidy offset") of duties assessed pursuant to an antidumping duty or countervailing duty order to affected domestic producers as reimbursements for qualifying expenditures.[5] 19 U.S.C. § 1675c(a)-(d). ADP status is limited to petitioners, and interested parties in support of petitions, with respect to which antidumping duty and countervailing duty orders are entered, and who remain in operation. Id. § 1675c(b)(1). The CDSOA directed the ITC to forward to Customs, within sixty days after an antidumping or countervailing duty order is issued, lists of persons potentially eligible for ADP status, i.e., "petitioners and persons with respect to each order and finding and a list of persons that indicate support of the petition by letter or through questionnaire response." *1353 Id. § 1675c(d)(1). The CDSOA also provided for distributions of antidumping and countervailing duties assessed pursuant to existing antidumping duty and countervailing duty orders and for this purpose directed the ITC to forward to Customs a list identifying potential ADPs "within 60 days after the effective date of this section in the case of orders or findings in effect on January 1, 1999 or thereafter...." Id. The CDSOA directed Customs to publish in the Federal Register, prior to each distribution, lists of ADPs potentially eligible for distributions based on the lists obtained from the ITC, id. § 1675c(d)(2), and to distribute annually all funds, including accrued interest, from antidumping and countervailing duties received in the preceding fiscal year. Id. § 1675c(d)(3), (e).
The Court of Appeals, in SKF USA II, upheld the CDSOA against constitutional challenges brought on First Amendment and equal protection grounds. 556 F.3d at 1360 ("[T]he Byrd Amendment is within the constitutional power of Congress to enact, furthers the government's substantial interest in enforcing the trade laws, and is not overly broad. We hold that the Byrd Amendment is valid under the First Amendment."); id. ("Because it serves a substantial government interest, the Byrd Amendment is also clearly not violative of equal protection under the rational basis standard.").[6]
Plaintiff challenges the constitutionality of the CDSOA on three grounds. In Count One of its complaints, Plaintiff challenges the "in support of the petition" requirement of the CDSOA ("petition support requirement") on Fifth Amendment equal protection grounds. (Compl. 1, ¶¶ 26-29; Compl. 2, ¶¶ 32-35.) In Count Two of its complaints, Plaintiff challenges the petition support requirement on First Amendment grounds. (Compl. 1, ¶¶ 30-33; Compl. 2, ¶¶ 36-39.) In Count Three of its complaints, Plaintiff claims that the petition support requirement violates the Fifth Amendment due process guarantee by basing NSK's eligibility for disbursements on past conduct, i.e., support for a petition. (Compl. 1, ¶¶ 34-37; Compl. 2, ¶¶ 40-43.)
In ruling on motions to dismiss made under USCIT Rule 12(b)(5), we dismiss complaints that do not "contain sufficient factual matter, accepted as true, to `state a claim to relief that is plausible on its face.'" Ashcroft v. Iqbal, 556 U.S. 662, 129 S.Ct. 1937, 1949, 173 L.Ed.2d 868 (2009) (quoting Bell Atlantic Corp. v. Twombly, 550 U.S. 544, 570, 127 S.Ct. 1955, 167 L.Ed.2d 929 (2007)). In ruling on motions to dismiss under USCIT Rule 12(b)(1), we must dismiss all claims over which we determine that the Court lacks jurisdiction. See USCIT R. 12(h)(3). For the reasons set forth below, we conclude that the Court has no jurisdiction over Plaintiff's claims pertaining to fiscal year 2005 distributions, and that each of Plaintiff's other claims fails to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. The Court will therefore dismiss this consolidated action.

I. Plaintiff's Claim for Fiscal Year 2005 CDSOA Distributions Is Barred by the Statute of Limitations

Timken moves to dismiss NSK's claims to the extent that these claims pertain to fiscal year 2005,[7] on statute of limitations *1354 grounds. (Timken Mot. 10-13; see also First Am. Answer ¶ 28, Court No. 07-00281, Mar. 4, 2011, ECF No. 43 ("Further, avers that NSK's action commenced on July 30, 2007, for fiscal year 2005 distributions is barred by the two-year statute of limitations in 28 U.S.C. § 2636(i).")) Timken asserts, without explaining why, that the statute of limitations in § 2636(i) is jurisdictional, and argues that NSK's claims regarding fiscal year 2005 distributions accrued upon Customs' publication on June 1, 2005 of a notice of intent to distribute funds for the 2005 fiscal year. (Timken Mot. 11-13.) Because NSK filed suit on July 30, 2007  more than two years later  Timken argues that the Court should dismiss the fiscal year 2005 portion of NSK's claims for lack of jurisdiction. (Id. at 13; see also Def.-Int.'s Reply to NSK Corp.'s Opp. to Def.-Int.'s Mot. for J. on the Pleadings 12-14, Ct. No. 07-00223, July 18, 2011, ECF No. 75.) NSK, in response, cites our decision in Pat Huval Restaurant & Oyster Bar, Inc. v. United States, 32 CIT ___, ___, 547 F.Supp.2d 1352, 1362 (2008) for the proposition that the statute of limitations for a CDSOA case like this one is triggered "when distribution payments [are] made." (Pl. NSK Corp.'s Resp. to Mots. to Dismiss and Mots. for J. on the Pleadings 13, Ct. No. 07-00223, June 27, 2011, ECF No. 71 ("Pl.'s Resp.").) Since fiscal year 2005 distributions were "announced on November 29, 2005," NSK claims that its July 30, 2007 complaint fell within the two year limitations period. (Id.) For the reasons given below, we determine that NSK's claims regarding fiscal year 2005 distributions are barred by the two-year statute of limitations and will dismiss those portions of NSK's claims for lack of jurisdiction pursuant to USCIT Rule 12(b)(1).
First, according to John R. Sand & Gravel Co. v. United States, 552 U.S. 130, 128 S.Ct. 750, 169 L.Ed.2d 591 (2008), SKF USA II, 556 F.3d at 1348, and 28 U.S.C. § 2636(i), we conclude that § 2636(i) constitutes a limitation on the government's waiver of sovereign immunity and that the statute of limitations is therefore jurisdictional. See Pat Huval Restaurant & Oyster Bar, Inc. v. United States, 36 CIT ___, ___, 823 F.Supp.2d 1365, 1374-75, (Mar. 1, 2012).
Second, we determine that NSK's claims regarding fiscal year 2005 distributions accrued upon the publication of notice of Customs' intent to distribute CDSOA funds for that fiscal year. See Distribution of Continued Dumping and Subsidy Offset to Affected Domestic Producers, 70 Fed.Reg. 31,566 (June 1, 2005). We base this determination on our reading of SKF USA II, where the Court of Appeals determined that "[t]he earliest SKF's claim [challenging the Fiscal Year 2005 distribution] could have accrued was when Customs published its notice of intent to distribute duties under [the] Byrd Amendment for fiscal year 2005," on June 1, 2005. SKF USA II, 556 F.3d at 1349; see also 36 CIT ___, ___ - ___, 823 F.Supp.2d 1365, 1373-74. Just as did the plaintiff in SKF USA II, NSK knew on this date that Byrd Distributions would be available for fiscal year 2005. NSK also knew that it would not be participating in that distribution. Therefore, upon publication of the June 1, 2005 notice, NSK had a "complete and present cause of action." See 556 F.3d at 1348 (quotation omitted).[8] NSK's subsequent request in 2007 to be added to the ITC list of potential ADPs only applied to fiscal year 2007 distributions and could *1355 not have affected the date on which agency action regarding NSK's claim for fiscal year 2005 distributions became final and on which NSK's cause of action for fiscal year 2005 distributions accrued. (See Compl. 1 ¶ 22.)
Therefore, we must dismiss the portions of the claims in NSK's second complaint that relate to fiscal year 2005 distributions for lack of jurisdiction, since that complaint was not filed until July 30, 2007, nearly two months after the end of the two year limitations period that commenced on June 1, 2005. 28 U.S.C. § 2636(i); USCIT R. 12(b)(1).

II. Plaintiff's Equal Protection and First Amendment Challenges to the CDSOA Are Foreclosed by Binding Precedent

Plaintiff fails to plead facts allowing the Court to conclude that its equal protection and First Amendment challenges to the CDSOA are distinguishable from claims brought, and rejected, in SKF USA II. The complaints contain no assertions that the CDSOA was applied to NSK in a different manner than the statute was applied to other parties who did not support a petition. Plaintiff admits that "NSK did not participate as a petitioner, or support the petition, as regards to [sic] the investigations that led to the antidumping duty orders." (Compl. 2 ¶ 20.) The facts as pled place NSK on the same footing as other potential claimants who did not support the petition, such as the plaintiff in SKF USA II. See 556 F.3d at 1343 ("Since it was a domestic producer, SKF also responded to the ITC's questionnaire, but stated that it opposed the antidumping petition."). Consequently, because Plaintiff does not allege that there was anything unique about the way the CDSOA was applied to it, Plaintiff's equal protection and First Amendment challenges in Counts One and Two of its complaints are foreclosed by the holding in SKF USA II and must be dismissed pursuant to USCIT Rule 12(b)(5) for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted.
Plaintiff's argument that the recent Supreme Court cases Snyder v. Phelps, ___ U.S. ___, 131 S.Ct. 1207, 179 L.Ed.2d 172 (2011), and Citizens United v. FEC, ___ U.S. ___, 130 S.Ct. 876, 175 L.Ed.2d 753 (2010), effectively overturn SKF USA II is unpersuasive. (See Pl.'s Resp. 6-8.) While it is conceivable that intervening Supreme Court precedent could effectively overturn a previous circuit court decision, we are not convinced that such is the case here.
In Snyder, the Supreme Court held that the First Amendment provided a valid defense to certain tort liability, because the defendant's speech, while "hurtful," was made in "a public place on a matter of public concern," and was therefore "entitled to `special protection' under the First Amendment." Snyder, 131 S.Ct. at 1218-19. We conclude that Snyder has no bearing on the constitutionality of the CDSOA. To conclude otherwise is to ignore the Supreme Court's disclaimer that
[o]ur holding today is narrow. We are required in First Amendment cases to carefully review the record, and the reach of our opinion here is limited by the particular facts before us. As we have noted, "the sensitivity and significance of the interests presented in clashes between First Amendment and [state law] rights counsel relying on limited principles that sweep no more broadly than the appropriate context of the instant case."
Snyder, 131 S.Ct. at 1220 (quoting Florida Star v. B.J.F., 491 U.S. 524, 533, 109 S.Ct. 2603, 105 L.Ed.2d 443 (1989)) (bracket in original) (emphasis added). Because this case does not involve the First Amendment as a defense to tort liability for inflammatory speech, nor a question regarding *1356 the clash of First Amendment and state law rights, the Court finds Snyder inapplicable.
Citizens United is similarly inapplicable. In that case, the Supreme Court invalidated a law that imposed "an outright ban, backed by criminal sanctions" on corporate spending on "electioneering communications," which the Supreme Court regarded as a ban on political speech. Citizens United, 130 S.Ct. at 897 (stating that the prohibitions at issue were "classic examples of censorship."). While "it might be maintained that political speech simply cannot be banned or restricted as a categorical matter," the Supreme Court noted that at a minimum, "[l]aws that burden political speech are `subject to strict scrutiny,'" and evaluated the challenged law under that framework. Id. at 898 (quoting FEC v. Wisconsin Right to Life, Inc., 551 U.S. 449, 464, 127 S.Ct. 2652, 168 L.Ed.2d 329 (2007)). The statute in Citizens United thus contrasts sharply with the CDSOA, which "does not prohibit particular speech." SKF USA II, 556 F.3d at 1350. We find nothing in Citizens United that impliedly overturns the holding of SKF USA II. As SKF USA II itself noted, "[s]tatutes that are prohibitory in nature are rarely sustained, and cases addressing the constitutionality of such statutes are of little assistance in determining the constitutionality of the far more limited provisions of the Byrd Amendment." Id. (emphasis added). This Court agrees; Citizens United is of little assistance.
NSK also asserts that Sorrell v. IMS Health Inc., ___ U.S. ___, 131 S.Ct. 2653, 180 L.Ed.2d 544 (2011), requires this Court to "review anew the level of scrutiny applied to the CDSOA's petition support requirement." (Pl.'s Resp. at 8.) We recently considered and rejected a similar argument that Sorrell required a different level of scrutiny than that imposed by SKF USA II on the CDSOA petition support requirement. Furniture Brands, 807 F.Supp.2d at 1314-15. Noting that the statutes involved in Sorrell and SKF USA II differed in nature, degree of effect on expression, and purpose, we opined in Furniture Brands that "the CDSOA does not have as a stated purpose, or even an implied purpose, the intentional suppression of expression." Id. at 1315. As we also discussed in our Furniture Brands opinion, the Supreme Court in Sorrell concluded that the Vermont statute at issue in that case could not survive under a particular First Amendment analysis that was not at variance with the analysis that the Court of Appeals applied to the CDSOA in SKF USA II and identified as the "well-established Central Hudson test." Id. (citing SKF USA II, 556 F.3d at 1355, in turn citing Central Hudson Gas & Electric v. Public Serv. Comm'n of New York, 447 U.S. 557, 566, 100 S.Ct. 2343, 65 L.Ed.2d 341 (1980)). We conclude here, as we did in Furniture Brands, that Sorrell does not require us to subject the CDSOA to a new First Amendment analysis departing from that applied by the Court of Appeals in SKF USA II.
For the reasons we have discussed, we will dismiss Plaintiff's equal protection and First Amendment claims in Counts One and Two of its complaints for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted.

III. Plaintiff's Claims As to Fiscal Year 2007 Distributions Were Ripe upon Publication of the Notice to Distribute

The government's motion to dismiss Compl. 1 argues that NSK's fiscal year 2007 claims were not ripe because Customs had yet to make a final determination as to whether NSK would receive a distribution for fiscal year 2007, when NSK initiated its actions in July 2007. (U.S.'s Ripeness Mot. at 9-11.) Contrary to the argument in the government's motion, *1357 we conclude that NSK's claim for 2007 CDSOA distributions was ripe at the time NSK brought its actions. We construe NSK's claim for fiscal year 2007 to challenge, on constitutional grounds, the decision by the ITC to deny NSK status as a potential ADP. After NSK requested, on March 12, 2007, that the ITC place it on the list of ADPs for that fiscal year, it received a denial of its request from the ITC on May 18, 2007. (Compl. 1 ¶¶ 22-23.) That denial was confirmed in the list of ADPs included in the notice of intent to distribute CDSOA funds for fiscal year 2007, as published by Customs on May 29, 2007, which list did not include NSK. Compl. 1 ¶ 24 (citing Distribution of Continued Dumping and Subsidy Offset to Affected Domestic Producers, 72 Fed.Reg. 29,582 (May 29, 2007)). NSK filed a certification with Customs even though it was not so listed, Compl. 2 ¶ 15, but Customs, on the facts as pled by NSK, had no discretion to add NSK to the list of potential ADPs.[9]See 19 U.S.C. § 1675c(d)(2) (providing that the "list of affected domestic producers potentially eligible for the distribution" is to be "based on the list obtained from the Commission...."). Therefore, we find no lack of ripeness in NSK's claim for fiscal year 2007 distributions.

IV. The Petition Support Requirement Does Not Violate the Due Process Guarantee Due to Retroactivity

In Count Three of each complaint, Plaintiff claims that the CDSOA is impermissibly retroactive, in violation of the due process guarantee of the Fifth Amendment, because it "determined eligibility for CDSOA offsets based on private speech that occurred in the past" and because "the retroactive application of the CDSOA is not supported by a legislative purpose." (Compl. 1 ¶¶ 35-37; Compl. 2 ¶¶ 41-43.) This claim is not clearly stated, but we construe it as challenging the statutory provisions by which the CDSOA awards distributions based on orders already existing as of enactment and conditions eligibility on expressions of support for a petition occurring prior to enactment. See 19 U.S.C. § 1675c(d)(1). In New Hampshire Ball Bearing v. United States, 36 CIT ___, ___ - ___, 815 F.Supp.2d 1301, 1306-10 (2012), we recently considered a claim essentially identical to Plaintiff's retroactivity claims and concluded that "the retroactive reach of the petition support requirement in the CDSOA is justified by a rational legislative purpose and therefore is not vulnerable to attack on constitutional due process grounds." 36 CIT at ___, 815 F.Supp.2d at 1309. We reasoned that it would "not [be] arbitrary or irrational for Congress to conclude that the legislative purpose of rewarding domestic producers who supported antidumping petitions ... would be `more fully effectuated' if the petition support requirement were applied both prospectively and retroactively." 36 CIT at ___, 815 F.Supp.2d at 1309 (quoting Pension Benefit Guaranty Corp. v. R.A. Gray & Co., 467 U.S. 717, 730-31, 104 S.Ct. 2709, 81 L.Ed.2d 601 (1984)). We conclude, therefore, that Congress' choice to base potential *1358 eligibility for CDSOA disbursements on a decision of whether to support the petition made prior to the enactment of the CDSOA did not violate NSK's Fifth Amendment due process rights. Based on this conclusion, the Court will dismiss the due process claims in Count Three of the complaints for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted.

CONCLUSION
For the foregoing reasons, all claims in the complaints in this consolidated action must be dismissed. Timken's motion for judgment on the pleadings will be granted as to claims for fiscal year 2005 funds, over which the Court determines that it lacks jurisdiction because those claims are barred by the statute of limitations. Although the government's motion to dismiss on ripeness grounds will be denied, its motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted pursuant to USCIT Rule 12(b)(5) will be granted and Plaintiff's remaining claims will therefore be dismissed. As Plaintiff's claims will all be dismissed pursuant to other motions, the ITC's motions for judgment on the pleadings will be denied as moot. Plaintiff has not shown, either in responding to the Court's order to show cause or in opposing the motions to dismiss, that there is a plausible basis for Plaintiff to seek leave to amend the complaints, and the Court sees no such basis. Therefore, the Court shall enter judgment dismissing this action.

[6]  SKF USA II reversed the decision of the Court of International Trade in SKF USA Inc. v. United States, 30 CIT 1433, 451 F.Supp.2d 1355 (2006) ("SKF USA I"), which held the petition support requirement of the CDSOA unconstitutional on Fifth Amendment equal protection grounds.
[7]  These claims make up a part of the relief sought with respect to Counts 1-3 of Compl. 2. (See Compl. 2, Prayer for Relief ¶¶ 3-5.)
[8]  In Pat Huval Restaurant & Oyster Bar, Inc. v. United States, 547 F.Supp.2d at 1361-62, focusing on the date of injury, we concluded that "a new cause of action accrued every time payments were made pursuant to that statutory scheme."
[9]  We could take judicial notice that in the May 29, 2007 notice of intent to distribute, Customs announced that "[c]laimants who are not on the USITC list but believe they are nonetheless eligible for a CDSOA distribution under one or more antidumping and/or countervailing duty cases must, as do all claimants that expressly appear on the list, file their certification(s) within 60 days after this notice is published." Distribution of Continued Dumping and Subsidy Offset to Affected Domestic Producers, 72 Fed.Reg. 29,582, 29,582 (May 29, 2007). However, our conclusion that NSK is challenging the action of the ITC, not that of Customs, causes us to conclude that this announcement does not affect a determination of ripeness.
