SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce
(the Department) is conducting an
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on glycine from
the People’s Republic of China (the
PRC) covering the period of review from
March 1, 2012, through February 28,

applied facts otherwise available with
an adverse inference to the PRC-wide
entity because an element of the entity,
Hebei Donghua Jiheng Fine Chemical
Co., Ltd. (Donghua Fine Chemical),
failed to act to the best of its ability in
complying with the Department’s
request for information in this review
and, consequently, significantly
impeded the proceeding. Interested
parties are invited to comment on these
preliminary results.

None of these exporters, named in the notice of initiation\4\ and
for which the requests for review were timely withdrawn, currently have
a separate rate from a completed segment of the proceeding.\5\ It is
the Department's practice to refrain from rescinding the review with
respect to the exporters at this time.\6\ Although their requests for
review were timely withdrawn, the exporters remain part of the PRC-wide
entity. Therefore, we do not intend to rescind the review with respect
to these companies, as they all remain a part of the PRC-wide entity
under review for these preliminary results.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Department intends to issue the final results of this
administrative review, which will include the results of our analysis
of all issues raised in the briefs, within 120 days after the
publication of these preliminary results in the Federal Register,
pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.
Assessment Rates
Upon issuance of the final results of this review, the Department
will determine, and CBP shall assess, antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries of subject merchandise covered by this review.\14\
For the PRC-wide entity, we will instruct CBP to assess antidumping
duties at an ad valorem rate equal to the weighted-average dumping
margin published in the final results of this review. The Department
intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP 15 days after the date
of publication of the final results of this review in the Federal
Register.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\14\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Department recently announced a refinement to its assessment
practice in NME cases. Pursuant to this refinement in practice, for
entries that were not reported in U.S. sales databases submitted by
companies individually examined during the review, the Department will
instruct CBP to liquidate such entries at the PRC-wide rate. In
addition, if the Department determines that an exporter under review
had no shipments of the subject merchandise, any suspended entries that
entered under that exporter's case number (i.e., at that exporter's
rate) will be liquidated at the PRC-wide rate.\15\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Economy Antidumping Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties,
76 FR 65694 (October 24, 2011).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements, when imposed, will apply
to all shipments of subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication of the final
results of this administrative review, as provided by section
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For any previously reviewed or
investigated PRC and non-PRC exporter not listed above that received a
separate rate in a previous segment of this proceeding, the cash
deposit rate will continue to be the existing exporter-specific rate
published for the most recently completed period; (2) for all PRC
exporters that have not been found to be entitled to a separate rate,
the cash deposit rate will be that for the PRC-wide entity (i.e.,
453.79 percent); and (3) for all non-PRC exporters of subject
merchandise which have not received their own rate, the cash deposit
rate will be the rate applicable to the PRC exporter that supplied the
non-PRC exporter. These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.

Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as a preliminary reminder to importers of
their responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation
of the relevant entries during this review period. Failure to comply
with this requirement could result in the Department's presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping duties.
We are issuing and publishing these results in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213.
Dated: December 18, 2013.
