Salvi using glycine imported into India
from the PRC. We find that the
information presented by the domestic
interested parties regarding this
criterion supports their request to
initiate an anti-circumvention inquiry.
The Department believes that the
domestic interested parties sufficiently
addressed the factors described by
sections 781(b)(1)(C) and 781(b)(2) of
the Act regarding whether the
processing of glycine in India is minor
or insignificant. Specifically, in support
of its argument, the domestic interested
parties relied on information from
Indian Glycine, on the domestic
interested parties’ calculations based on
their estimated cost of production and
cost of processing and repackaging of
PRC-origin glycine, allegedly performed
by Paras, Salvi, and AICO, and
information in the Market Research
Report as described above. Thus, we
find that the information presented by
the domestic interested parties supports
their request, as supplemented, to
initiate an anti-circumvention inquiry.
In particular, for the purposes of
initiation, we find that the domestic
interested parties have sufficiently
supported their allegations that: (1)
Little investment has been made by
either Paras, Salvi, or AICO in their
respective processing of PRC glycine; (2)
Paras, Salvi, and AICO perform
processing and repackaging of the
lower-grade PRC glycine, which are
technologically mature processes that
do not require research and
development by these companies; (3)
the mere processing of the lower-grade
glycine through refinement,
purification, and repackaging does not
alter the fundamental characteristics of
the glycine, or whether it is subject to
the scope of the PRC Glycine Order; (4)
Paras’s, Salvi’s, and AICO’s facilities for
processing and repackaging PRC glycine
do not require the typically capitalintensive production facilities needed to
manufacture glycine; and (5) refining
and repackaging of PRC glycine
represents a small proportion of the
value of the merchandise exported to
the United States.
Our analysis will focus on Paras’s,
Salvi’s, and AICO’s processing
operations in India and, in the context
of this proceeding, we will closely
examine the extent of processing done
in India, as well as Paras’s, Salvi’s, and
AICO’s relationships with glycine
suppliers in the PRC. With respect to
the value of the merchandise produced
in the PRC, pursuant to section
781(b)(1)(D) of the Act, the domestic
interested parties relied on their
information and arguments presented in
the ‘‘minor or insignificant’’ portion of
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 223001
their anti-circumvention request, as
supplemented, to indicate that the value
of PRC glycine may be significant
relative to the total value of the glycine
processed and repackaged in India and
then exported to the United States. We
find that the information provided
adequately addresses this factor, as
discussed above, for the purposes of
initiating an anti-circumvention inquiry.
Finally, the domestic interested
parties argue that, pursuant to section
781(b)(3) of the Act, the Department
should also consider the pattern of
trade, affiliation, and subsequent import
volumes as factors in determining
whether to initiate an anticircumvention inquiry. The export and
import data submitted by the domestic
interested parties suggests that imports
of glycine from the PRC into India rose
significantly in recent years.
Accordingly, based on the domestic
interested parties’ allegations, as
supplemented, we have determined that
domestic interested parties have
provided a sufficient basis to initiate an
anti-circumvention inquiry concerning
the PRC Glycine Order, pursuant to
section 781(b) of the Act. These anticircumvention inquiries pertain solely
to Paras, Salvi, and AICO.
If, within sufficient time, the
Department receives a formal request
from an interested party regarding
potential anti-circumvention of the PRC
Glycine Order by other Indian
companies, we will consider conducting
additional inquiries concurrently.
In accordance with 19 CFR
351.225(l)(2), if the Department issues a
preliminary affirmative determination,
we will then instruct CBP to suspend
liquidation and require a cash deposit of
estimated duties on the merchandise.
The Department will, following
consultation with interested parties,
establish a schedule for questionnaires
and comments on the issues. The
Department intends to issue its final
determination within 300 days of the
date of publication of this initiation. See
section 781(f) of the Act.
This notice is published in
accordance with section 777(i)(1) of the
Act.
Dated: October 22, 2010.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import
Administration.

comprehensive overview of the SSC=s
white paper on Ecosystem-based
Fisheries Management. NMFS Deputy
Assistant Administrator for Regulatory
Programs Sam Rauch will discuss
coastal and marine spatial planning
with the Council and the day will end
with an Enforcement Committee report
concerning recommendations for
standardized fixed gear marking in the
EEZ. The Council is not likely to take
further action on these proposals until
it consults with partner fishery
management organizations and
conducts a more public process to
solicit further review and comment.
Wednesday, November 17, 2010
Throughout most of the day, the
Council will discuss and take final
action on Framework Adjustment 22 to
the Atlantic Sea Scallop Fishery
Management Plan. The primary purpose
of the action is to set fishery
specifications for the 2011–12 fishing
years. Also included are measures to
minimize the risk sea scallop gear/
incidental encounters with sea turtles.
Additionally, the Council will review
and finalize scallop research
recommendations that will apply to the
fishery management plan’s research setaside program and approve measures
that will affect the general category
scallop fishery. During this report, the
Council will discuss the yellowtail

flounder sub annual catch limit that will
be allocated to the scallop fleet through
Framework Adjustment 45 to the
Northeast Multispecies FMP. Before
adjournment for the day, Council
members will consider a change to its
skate management measures based on a
re-analysis of skate discards provided by
the Skate Plan Development Team.
Thursday, November 18, 2010
The final day of the meeting will
begin with initial action on Framework
Adjustment 7 to the Monkfish Fishery
Management Plan. Management
measures will address revisions to the
biomass reference points, as well as a
revised ABC and a Northern
Management Area annual catch target
(ACT). In view of the new ACT, a range
of new management alternatives also
will be considered. Finally, the
monkfish discussion will include a
summary of the development of
Amendment 6 to the FMP, which will
center on a catch share program for the
monkfish fishery. The remainder of the
day will be spent on multipsecies
groundfish management-related issues.
This will involve final action on
Framework Adjustment 45 to the
Northeast Multispecies Fishery
Management Plan (FMP). The major
measures under consideration are:
Possible adjustments to the yellowtail
flounder sub annual catch limit as a
result of action taken in Framework 22
to the Scallop FMP; modifications to the
Georges Bank yellowtail flounder
rebuilding strategy and accordingly, the
ABC; alternatives for revised status
determination criteria and adjustments
to the ABCs for pollock and Gulf of
Maine winter flounder; total allowable
catches for stocks harvested in the U.S./
Canada area for 2011; changes to the atsea and dockside monitoring provisions
in the FMP; elimination of the Great
South Channel yellowtail flounder
spawning closures for the general
category scallop vessels; protection for
spawning cod in an area off the New
Hampshire coast; and authorization for
additional sectors. The Council also will
discuss the issue of state-operated
permit banks.
Although other non-emergency issues
not contained in this agenda may come
before this Council for discussion, those
issues may not be the subjects of formal
action during this meeting. Council
action will be restricted to those issues
specifically listed in this notice and any
issues arising after publication of this
notice that require emergency action
