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
(POR) from March 1, 2015, through
February 29, 2016. We preliminarily
determine that sales of subject
merchandise by Baoding Mantong Fine
Chemistry Co., Ltd. (Baoding Mantong)
were made at less than normal value
during the POR. Further, we are
rescinding the review with respect to
Kumar Industries and Rudraa
International. Finally, we preliminarily
find Huayang Chemical Co., Ltd.
(Huayang Chemical) failed to establish
eligibility for a separate rate and is being
considered part of the PRC-wide entity.
Interested parties are invited to
comment on these preliminary results.
DATES: Effective April 7, 2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
These preliminary results are made in
accordance with section 751(a) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).

on glycine from the PRC for the POR on

March 1, 2016.1 On May 2, 2016, in
response to a timely request from
domestic interested party, GEO
Specialty Chemicals, Inc. (GEO), and in
accordance with section 751(a) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i), we
initiated an administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on glycine from
the PRC (Order).2 For a complete
description of the events that followed
the initiation of this review, see the
Preliminary Decision Memorandum.3 A
list of topics included in the
Preliminary Decision Memorandum is
provided as an appendix to this notice.
The Preliminary Decision Memorandum
is a public document and is on file
electronically via Enforcement and
Compliance’s Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Centralized
Electronic Service System (ACCESS).
ACCESS is available to registered users
at https://access.trade.gov, and to all
parties in the Central Records Unit,
room B8024 of the main Department of
Commerce building. In addition, a
complete version of the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum can be accessed
directly at https://enforcement.trade.gov/
frn/. The signed and the electronic
versions of the Preliminary Decision
Memorandum are identical in content.
Scope of the Order
The product covered by the
antidumping duty order is glycine,
which is a free-flowing crystalline
material, like salt or sugar.4 The subject
merchandise is currently classifiable
under the Harmonized Tariff Schedule
of the United States (HTSUS)
subheading 2922.49.4020. The HTSUS
subheading is provided for convenience
and customs purposes only; the written
product description of the scope of the
order is dispositive.5
PRC-Wide Entity
Because the Department preliminarily
determines that Huayang Chemical is
not eligible for a separate rate because
it failed to respond to the Department’s
antidumping questionnaire, we, find

that it is part of the PRC-wide entity.
The Department’s policy regarding
conditional review of the PRC-wide
entity applies to this administrative
review.6 Under this policy, the PRCwide entity will not be under review
unless a party specifically requests, or
the Department self-initiates, a review of
the entity. Because no party requested a
review of the PRC-wide entity in this
review, the entity is not under review
and the entity’s rate from the previous
administrative review (i.e., 453.79
percent) is not subject to change.7
Methodology
The Department is conducting this
review in accordance with section
751(a)(1)(B) of the Act. Because the PRC
is a non-market economy within the
meaning of section 771(18) of the Act,
normal value is calculated in
accordance with section 773(c) of the
Act. For a full description of the
methodology underlying our
preliminary results, see the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum.
Rescission of Review
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the
Department will rescind an
administrative review, ‘‘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.’’ GEO
withdrew its request within the 90-day
limit with respect to Kumar Industries
and Rudraa International. Because we
received no other requests for review of
Kumar and Rudraa, we are rescinding
the administrative review of Kumar and
Rudraa, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.213(d)(1).
Preliminary Results of Review
The Department has preliminarily
determined that the following dumping
margin exists for the period March 1,

Disclosure and Public Comment
The Department intends to disclose
calculations performed for these
preliminary results to the parties within
five days of the date of publication of
this notice in accordance with 19 CFR
351.224(b). Pursuant to 19 CFR
351.309(c), interested parties may
submit case briefs no later than 30 days
after the date of publication of these
preliminary results of review.8 Parties
who submit case briefs or rebuttal briefs
in this proceeding are encouraged to
submit with each argument: (1) A
statement of the issue; (2) a brief
summary of the argument; and (3) a
table of authorities.9 Rebuttal briefs,
limited to issues raised in the case
briefs, may be filed no later than five
days after the case briefs are filed.10
Interested parties who wish to request
a hearing must submit a written request
to the Assistant Secretary for
Enforcement and Compliance, U.S.
Department of Commerce, filed
electronically using ACCESS. An
electronically filed document must be
received successfully in its entirety by
the Department’s ACCESS by 5:00 p.m.
Eastern Time within 30 days after the
date of publication of this notice.11
Hearing requests should contain the
following: (1) The party’s name,
address, and telephone number; (2) the
number of participants; and (3) a list of
the issues to be discussed. Issues raised
in the hearing will be limited to those
raised in the respective case briefs.
Unless extended, the Department
intends to issue the final results of this
review, including the results of its
analysis of issues raised by parties in
their comments, within 120 days after
the publication of these preliminary
results, pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A)
of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(1).
Assessment Rates
Upon issuing the final results of
review, the Department will determine,
and CBP shall assess, antidumping
duties on all appropriate entries covered
by this review.12 If a respondent’s
weighted-average dumping margin is
above de minimis (i.e., 0.5 percent) in
the final results of this review, we will
calculate an importer-specific
assessment rate on the basis of the ratio
of the total amount of dumping
calculated for the importer’s examined
sales and the total entered value of those
sales in accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1). Specifically, the
8 See
19 CFR 351.309(c)(1)(ii).
19 CFR 351.309(c)(2).
10 See 19 CFR 351.309(d).

9 See
PO 00000
Frm 00005

Department will apply the assessment
rate calculation method adopted in
Final Modification for Reviews.13 Where
an importer- (or customer-) specific ad
valorem rate is zero or de minimis, we
will instruct CBP to liquidate
appropriate entries without regard to
antidumping duties.14
For entries that were not reported in
the U.S. sales databases submitted by
exporters individually examined during
this 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 The Department
intends to issue appropriate assessment
instructions directly to CBP 15 days
after publication of the final results of
review.
Finally, with respect to Kumar
Industries and Rudraa International, the
companies for which these reviews are
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 to CBP 15 days after
publication of this notice.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective upon
publication of the final results of this
administrative review for shipments of
the subject merchandise from the PRC
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the
publication date, as provided by section
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For subject
merchandise exported by the companies
listed above that have separate rates, the
cash deposit rate will be that established
in the final results of review (except, if
the rate is zero or de minimis, then zero
cash deposit will be required); (2) for
previously investigated or reviewed PRC
and non-PRC exporters not listed above
that received a separate rate in a prior
segment of this proceeding, the cash
deposit rate will continue to be the
existing exporter-specific rate; (3) for all
13 See Antidumping Proceeding: Calculation of
the Weighted-Average Dumping Margin and
Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping Duty
Proceedings; Final Modification, 77 FR 8103

PRC exporters of subject merchandise
that have not been found to be entitled
to a separate rate, including Huayang
Chemical, the cash deposit rate will be
that for the PRC-wide entity; and (4) 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 that non-PRC
exporter. These 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.
Notification to Interested Parties
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.

domestic interested party, GEO Specialty Chemicals, Inc. (GEO), and in
accordance with section 751(a) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i),
we initiated an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on

The product covered by the antidumping duty order is glycine, which

PRC-Wide Entity
Because the Department preliminarily determines that Huayang
Chemical is not eligible for a separate rate because it failed to
respond to the Department's antidumping questionnaire, we, find
[[Page 16993]]
that it is part of the PRC-wide entity. The Department's policy
regarding conditional review of the PRC-wide entity applies to this
administrative review.\6\ Under this policy, the PRC-wide entity will
not be under review unless a party specifically requests, or the
Department self-initiates, a review of the entity. Because no party
requested a review of the PRC-wide entity in this review, the entity is
not under review and the entity's rate from the previous administrative
review (i.e., 453.79 percent) is not subject to change.\7\

Methodology
The Department is conducting this review in accordance with section

the meaning of section 771(18) of the Act, normal value is calculated
in accordance with section 773(c) of the Act. For a full description of
the methodology underlying our preliminary results, see the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum.
Rescission of Review
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Department will rescind an
administrative review, ``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.'' GEO
withdrew its request within the 90-day limit with respect to Kumar
Industries and Rudraa International. Because we received no other
requests for review of Kumar and Rudraa, we are rescinding the
administrative review of Kumar and Rudraa, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.213(d)(1).

Unless extended, the Department intends to issue the final results
of this review, including the results of its analysis of issues raised
by parties in their comments, within 120 days after the publication of
these preliminary results, pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act
and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(1).
Assessment Rates
Upon issuing the final results of review, the Department will
determine, and CBP shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries covered by this review.\12\ If a respondent's weighted-average
dumping margin is above de minimis (i.e., 0.5 percent) in the final
results of this review, we will calculate an importer-specific
assessment rate on the basis of the ratio of the total amount of
dumping calculated for the importer's examined sales and the total
entered value of those sales in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
Specifically, the Department will apply the assessment rate calculation
method adopted in Final Modification for Reviews.\13\ Where an
importer- (or customer-) specific ad valorem rate is zero or de
minimis, we will instruct CBP to liquidate appropriate entries without
regard to antidumping duties.\14\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\12\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
\13\ See Antidumping Proceeding: Calculation of the Weighted-
Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping
Duty Proceedings; Final Modification, 77 FR 8103 (February 14, 2012)
(Final Modification for Reviews).
\14\ See 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For entries that were not reported in the U.S. sales databases
submitted by exporters individually examined during this 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\ The
Department intends to issue appropriate assessment instructions
directly to CBP 15 days after publication of the final results of
review.

Finally, with respect to Kumar Industries and Rudraa International,
the companies for which these reviews are 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 to
CBP 15 days after publication of this notice.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon
publication of the final results of this administrative review for
shipments of the subject merchandise from the PRC entered, or withdrawn
from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date, as
provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For subject
merchandise exported by the companies listed above that have separate
rates, the cash deposit rate will be that established in the final
results of review (except, if the rate is zero or de minimis, then zero
cash deposit will be required); (2) for previously investigated or
reviewed PRC and non-PRC exporters not listed above that received a
separate rate in a prior segment of this proceeding, the cash deposit
rate will continue to be the existing exporter-specific rate; (3) for
all
[[Page 16994]]
PRC exporters of subject merchandise that have not been found to be
entitled to a separate rate, including Huayang Chemical, the cash
deposit rate will be that for the PRC-wide entity; and (4) 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 that non-PRC exporter. These 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.
Notification to Interested Parties
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: March 31, 2017.
