request from GEO Specialty Chemicals,
Inc. (GEO), a domestic producer of
glycine, that the Department conduct an
administrative review of the

Administrative Reviews and Request for
Revocation in Part, 75 FR 22107 (April

On April 30, 2010, GEO submitted
comments regarding the Department’s
respondent selection process. On May
10, 2010, we received a letter from Paras
Intermediates Private Limited (Paras)
informing the Department that it is an
Indian company that had no exports,
sales, or entries of PRC glycine to the
United States during the POR.1 On May
20, 2010, the Department issued a
memorandum providing an opportunity
for interested parties to comment on
United States Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) information to be used
by the Department in respondent
selection. On May 24, 2010, Baoding
Mantong Fine Chemistry Co., Ltd.
(Baoding Mantong) 2 submitted a letter
and certification to the Department
advising the Department that Baoding
Mantong ‘‘did not sell, ship, or export to
the United States glycine subject to the
above referenced antidumping duty
order during the POR.’’ On May 26,
2010, the Department issued a letter to
Baoding Mantong requesting that it
refile its statement of no shipments and
to certify, if appropriate, that it had no
exports, sales, or entries of subject
merchandise during the POR.3 On May
28, 2010, we received a properly filed
letter from Baoding Mantong stating that
it did not sell, ship, or export, to the
United States, subject merchandise
during the POR. On July 30, 2010, GEO
filed a letter withdrawing its request for
1 Paras is one of the 32 companies named by GEO
in its March 31, 2010, letter to the Department. In
its March 31, 2010, letter to the Department, Paras
also stated that all of Paras’ exports of glycine to
the United States are manufactured by Paras, in
India, from monochloro acetic acid and ammonia.
2 Baoding Mantong is also one of the 32
companies named by GEO in its March 31, 2010,
letter to the Department.
3 The Department notes that the Initiation Notice
states ‘‘{u}nder 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), the
Department may rescind a review where there are
no exports, sales, or entries of subject merchandise
during the respective period of review (‘POR’) listed
below. If a producer or exporter named in this
initiation notice had no exports, sales, or entries
during the POR, it should notify the Department
within 30 days of publication of this notice in the
Federal Register. The Department will consider
rescinding the review only if the producer or
exporter, as appropriate, submits a properly filed
and timely statement certifying that it had no
exports, sales, or entries of subject merchandise
during the POR.’’ See 75 FR at 22107 (emphasis
added). The Department found that Baoding
Mantong did not properly file its statement that it
had no exports, sales, or entries of subject
merchandise during the POR in its original
certification (May, 24, 2010, letter to the
Department).

review of the 32 companies for which
the Department initiated this review.
Period of Review
The period of review (POR) is March
1, 2009, through February 28, 2010.
Scope of the Order
The product covered by the order is
glycine, which is a free-flowing
crystalline material, like salt or sugar.
Glycine is produced at varying levels of
purity and is used as a sweetener/taste
enhancer, a buffering agent,
reabsorbable amino acid, chemical
intermediate, and a metal complexing
agent. This review covers glycine of all
purity levels. Glycine is currently
classified under subheading
2922.49.4020 of the Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (HTSUS).
Although the HTSUS subheading is
provided for convenience and Customs
purposes, the written description of the
merchandise subject to the order is
dispositive.
Rescission of Antidumping Duty
Administrative Review
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the
Secretary will rescind an administrative
review under this section, in whole or
in part, if a party that requested a review
withdraws the request within 90 days of
the date of publication of notice of
initiation of the requested review, or
withdraws at a later date if the
Department determines it is reasonable
to extend the time limit for withdrawing
the request. GEO withdrew its review
request after the 90-day deadline.
However, the Department finds it
reasonable to extend the withdrawal
deadline for GEO because the
Department has not yet devoted
significant time or resources to this
review. As a result, in accordance with
19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Department is
rescinding the administrative review of
all 32 companies.
Assessment Instructions
The Department will instruct CBP to
assess antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries. For companies for
which this review is rescinded,
antidumping duties shall be assessed at
rates equal to the cash deposit of
estimated antidumping duties required
at the time of entry, or withdrawal from
warehouse, for consumption, in
accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(c)(1)(i). The Department
intends to issue appropriate assessment
instructions directly to CBP 15 days
after publication of this notice.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
VMS Mobile Transceiver Units
Faria WatchDog 750VMS With VTERM
The Faria WatchDog 750VMS with
VTERM transceiver consists of an
integrated dual model GPS/GSM/GPRS/
Iridium Satellite Communicator or a
single mode GPS/Iridium Satellite
Communicator mounted in the
wheelhouse and antennas mounted atop
the vessel. The Faria VTERM is a 7-inch
color touch screen display and provides
the capability (if so configured) to
process electronic forms, declarations,
and to send e-mail. The unit is preconfigured and tested for NOAA
Fisheries Service VMS Operations.
Automatic GPS position reporting
starts after transceiver installation and
power activation onboard the vessel.
The unit is a car-radio-sized transceiver
powered by a 9.5 to 36 VDC power
supply. The unit can be configured for
automatic reduced position
transmissions when the vessel is
stationary (i.e., in port) which allows for
port stays in a reduced power state and
without the need for unit shut down.
The unit restarts normal position
transmission automatically when the
vessel goes to sea.
The Faria WatchDog 750VMS has
omni-directional Iridium, GPS, and
GSM/GPRS antennas, providing
operation from ± 5 degrees above or
below the horizon anywhere on Earth.
The GSM/GPRS capability (if activated)
gives the system the additional ability to
communicate through the AT&T GPRS
wireless network where available.
A configuration option is available to
automatically send daily status reports
to a private e-mail address and position
reports to a secure Web site where the
data is provided on a map and in tabular
form. A 2-inch LCD user interface is also
included with this system that displays
if the MTU is operating properly and
can send emergency notification

period March 1, 2009, through February 28, 2010. See Antidumping or
Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or Suspended Investigation;
Opportunity To Request Administrative Review, 75 FR 9162 (March 1,
2010). On March 31, 2010, the Department received a timely request from
GEO Specialty Chemicals, Inc. (GEO), a domestic producer of glycine,
that the Department conduct an administrative review of the antidumping
duty order on glycine from the PRC, covering 32 producers/exporters of
glycine from the PRC. On April 27, 2010, the Department published in

On April 30, 2010, GEO submitted comments regarding the

Department advising the Department that Baoding Mantong ``did not sell,

the Department issued a letter to Baoding Mantong requesting that it
refile its statement of no shipments and to certify, if appropriate,
that it had no exports, sales, or entries of subject merchandise during
the POR.\3\ On May 28, 2010, we received a properly filed letter from
Baoding Mantong stating that it did not sell, ship, or export, to the
United States, subject merchandise during the POR. On July 30, 2010,
GEO filed a letter withdrawing its request for review of the 32
