Partial Rescission of Review
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the
Department will rescind an
administrative review, in whole or in
part, if the party that requested the
review withdraws its request within 90
days of the publication of the notice of
initiation of the requested review.
Because the petitioner, ASPA, and the
individual companies all withdrew their
requests for administrative review
within 90 days of the date of publication
of the Initiation Notice, and no other
interested party requested a review of
these companies, the Department is
rescinding this review with respect to

other companies for whom a review was

appropriate entries at a rate equal to the

duties required at the time of entry, or
withdrawal from warehouse, for
consumption, during the period
February 1, 2016, through January 31,
2017, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(c)(1)(i). The Department
intends to issue appropriate assessment
instructions to CBP 15 days after the

This notice serves as a final 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 the antidumping
duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of doubled antidumping
duties.
This notice also serves as a final
reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective order (APO) of
their responsibility concerning the
return or destruction of proprietary

Glycine From the People’s Republic of
China: Preliminary Results of Changed
Circumstances Review
Enforcement and Compliance,
International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: On November 17, 2016, the
Department of Commerce (the
Department) initiated a changed
circumstances review (CCR) of the
antidumping duty order on glycine from
the People’s Republic of China (PRC).
The Department preliminarily
determines that Salvi Chemical
Industries Ltd. (Salvi) is eligible to
participate in a certification process,
because Salvi has demonstrated that
glycine produced by Salvi is no longer
processed from Chinese-origin glycine.
Interested parties are invited to
comment on these preliminary results.
DATES: Effective August 11, 2017.

Background
On December 10, 2012, the
Department published its final anticircumvention inquiry determination,
where the record indicated that Salvi
was processing Chinese glycine and
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:18 Aug 10, 2017
Jkt 241001
labeling it to be of Indian origin.1 The
Department determined that glycine
processed in India of Chinese origin
does not change country of origin, and,
therefore, Salvi had circumvented the
Order.2 As part of our determination, we
stated that Salvi could not take part in
a certification process, whereby Salvi’s
importers could certify that they had not
imported Chinese-origin glycine and
would not be subject to the antidumping
duty rate for Chinese glycine.3
Additionally, we stated that Salvi could
also request a CCR if it could show that
its exports of glycine to the United
States were not processed from Chineseorigin glycine.4 On July 18, 2016, the
Department received a request from
Salvi to initiate a CCR in order for the
Department to determine that the
glycine produced by Salvi is no longer
processed from Chinese-origin glycine.5
Additionally, Salvi requested that the
Department determine that importers of
glycine from Salvi are eligible to
participate in a certification process.6
On November 16, 2017, the Department
initiated this CCR, pursuant to section
751(b)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended, (the Act) and 19 CFR
351.216(d), upon finding that there is
sufficient information to warrant a
review of the Order.7
Scope of the Order
The product covered by this
antidumping duty 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 proceeding
includes glycine of all purity levels.

Glycine is currently classified under
subheading 2922.49.4020 of the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTSUS).8 Although the
HTSUS subheading is provided for
convenience and customs purposes, the
written description of the merchandise
under the order is dispositive.9
Methodology
We are conducting this CCR in
accordance with section 751(b)(1) of the
Act. For a full description of the
methodology underlying our
conclusions, see the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum.10 A list of
topics in the Preliminary Decision
Memorandum is included as an
appendix to this notice.
The Preliminary Decision
Memorandum is a public document and
is made available to the public 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 is available to all

Records Unit, room B8024 of the main

addition, a complete version of the
Preliminary Decision Memorandum can
be accessed directly at https://
enforcement.trade.gov/frn/. The signed
Preliminary Decision Memorandum and
the electronic version of the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum are identical in
content.
Preliminary Results of the Changed
Circumstances Review
We preliminarily determine that,
since the Circumvention Notice and
Final Scope Ruling were issued, Salvi
has demonstrated that glycine produced
by Salvi is no longer processed from
Chinese-origin glycine.
If the Department upholds these
preliminary results in the final results,
we will notify U.S. Customs and Border
Protection and allow Salvi’s importers
of subject merchandise to certify that

determined that: (a) D(-) Phenylglycine Ethyl Dane
Salt is outside the scope of the order and (b) PRCglycine exported from India remains the same class
or kind of merchandise as the PRC-origin glycine
imported into India. See Notice of Scope Rulings
and Anticircumvention Inquiries, 62 FR 62288
(November 21, 1997) and Circumvention Notice,
respectively.
