determination in the Federal Register,
and to assess, upon further instruction
by Commerce pursuant to 706(a)(1) of
the Act, countervailing duties for each
entry of the subject merchandise in an
amount based on the net countervailable
subsidy rates for the subject
merchandise. We intend to instruct CBP
to require, at the same time as importers
would normally deposit estimated
duties on this merchandise, cash
deposits for each entry of subject
merchandise equal to the rates noted
below. These instructions suspending
liquidation will remain in effect until
further notice. The all-others rates apply
to all producers or exporters not
specifically listed.
Estimated Subsidy Rates
The estimated subsidy rates for each
countervailing duty order are as follows:

Provisional Measures
Section 703(d) of the Act states that
the suspension of liquidation pursuant
to an affirmative preliminary
determination may not remain in effect
for more than four months. Commerce
published its affirmative Preliminary
Determinations on September 4, 2018.
Therefore, the four-month period
beginning on the date of the publication
of the Preliminary Determinations
ended on January 1, 2019. Pursuant to
section 707(b) of the Act, the collection
of cash deposits at the rates listed above
will begin on the date of publication of
the ITC’s final injury determination in
the Federal Register.
Therefore, in accordance with section
703(d) of the Act, Commerce instructed
CBP to terminate the suspension of
liquidation and to liquidate, without
regard to countervailing duties,
unliquidated entries of glycine from
India and China entered, or withdrawn
from warehouse, for consumption after
January 1, 2019, the date on which
provisional measures expired, through
the day preceding the date of
publication of the ITC’s final affirmative
injury determinations in the Federal

Register. Suspension of liquidation will
resume on the date of publication of the
ITC’s final affirmative injury
determinations in the Federal Register.
Notifications to Interested Parties
This notice constitutes the
countervailing duty orders with respect
to glycine from India and China
pursuant to section 706(a) of the Act.
Interested parties can find a list of
countervailing duty orders currently in
effect at https://enforcement.trade.gov/

These orders are published in
accordance with sections 705(c) and

Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and
Compliance.
Appendix
Scope of the Orders
The merchandise covered by these orders
is glycine at any purity level or grade. This
includes glycine of all purity levels, which
covers all forms of crude or technical glycine
including, but not limited to, sodium
glycinate, glycine slurry and any other forms
of amino acetic acid or glycine. Subject
merchandise also includes glycine and
precursors of dried crystalline glycine that
are processed in a third country, including,
but not limited to, refining or any other
processing that would not otherwise remove
the merchandise from the scope of these
orders if performed in the country of
manufacture of the in-scope glycine or
precursors of dried crystalline glycine.
Glycine has the Chemical Abstracts Service
(CAS) registry number of 56–40–6. Glycine
and glycine slurry are classified under
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United
States (HTSUS) subheading 2922.49.43.00.
Sodium glycinate is classified in the HTSUS
under 2922.49.80.00. While the HTSUS
subheadings and CAS registry number are
provided for convenience and customs
purposes, the written description of the
scope of these orders is dispositive.

ACTION:
Notice; request for comments.
The Regional Administrator,
West Coast Region, NMFS, has made a
preliminary determination that an
application for an Exempted Fishing
Permit warrants further consideration.
The application, submitted by the
California Wetfish Producers
Association, requests an exemption
from the expected prohibition of
primary directed fishing for Pacific
sardine for the 2019–2020 fishing year
to collect Pacific sardine as part of an
industry-based scientific survey. NMFS
requests public comment on the
application.
DATES: Comments must be received by
July 8, 2019.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May

rule (84 FR 24459) to implement Pacific
sardine harvest specifications for the

2019–2020 fishing year off the U.S. West
Coast, which begins on July 1. This
proposed rule included a 4,514 metric
ton (mt) annual catch limit (ACL) and a
prohibition on directed commercial
fishing for Pacific sardine off the coasts
of Washington, Oregon, and California
(except for small directed catch and
catch of live bait). At the April 2019
Pacific Fishery Management Council
(Council) meeting, the Council voted in
support of the California Wetfish
Producer Association’s (CWPA)
exempted fishing permit (EFP)
application as well as one other
application that NMFS is evaluating
separately, which both requested an
exemption from the prohibition on
directed fishing for Pacific sardine. The
Council therefore structured the 2019–
2020 Pacific sardine harvest
specifications so that up to 405 mt (the
combined total of the anticipated
harvests under the two EFP proposals
the Council reviewed) of the ACL could
be harvested under EFPs. The CWPA
requested to directly harvest up to 400
mt of Pacific sardine for its Coastal
Pelagic Species Near-shore Cooperative
Survey (CPS–NCS).
Since 2012 the California Department
of Fish and Wildlife, in partnership
with the CWPA, has been conducting
aerial surveys to estimate the biomass
and distribution of sardine and certain
other CPS species in nearshore waters in
the Southern California Bight, and in
the Monterey-San Francisco area since
the summer of 2017. Currently, there is
uncertainty in the biomass estimates
from aerial spotter pilots. The CPS–NCS
survey associated with the proposed
EFP is part of research to quantify that
level of uncertainty by capturing CPS
schools identified by aerial spotter
pilots and validating the biomass and
species composition of the schools. A
portion of each point set (i.e., an
individual haul of fish captured with a
purse seine net) will be retained for
biological sampling, and the remainder
will be sold by the participating
fishermen and processors to offset
research costs and avoid unnecessary
discard. This research contributes to
broader efforts to understand CPS
biomass in shallow, nearshore areas that
NOAA’s CPS offshore acoustic trawl
survey is unable to access.
If NMFS issues this EFP, the CPS–
NCS will survey nearshore waters of the
Southern California Bight for 7–10 days
between July 1, 2019 and June 30, 2020.
Any harvest under this EFP would
count against the ACL for Pacific
sardine. If NMFS does not issue this
EFP, then this 400 mt-portion of the
ACL would be available for harvest by
other permissible fishing activities.
