2019, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(c)(1)(i). Commerce intends to
issue appropriate assessment
instructions to CBP 15 days after the
publication of this notice in the Federal
Register, if appropriate.
Notifications
This notice serves as a 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
Commerce’s presumption that
reimbursement of the antidumping
duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of doubled antidumping
duties.
This notice also serves as a reminder
to parties subject to administrative
protective order (APO) of their
responsibility concerning the return or
destruction of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), which
continues to govern business
proprietary information in this segment
of the proceeding. Timely written
notification of the return or destruction
of APO materials, or conversion to
judicial protective order, is hereby
requested. Failure to comply with the
regulations and terms of an APO is a
violation which is subject to sanction.
This notice is issued and published in
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and
777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

Background
In accordance with sections 705(d)
and 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930,
as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR
351.210(c), Commerce published its
affirmative final determinations in the
countervailing duty investigations of
glycine from India and China on May 1,
2019.1 On June 14, 2019, the ITC
notified Commerce of its final
affirmative determinations that an
industry in the United States is

materially injured within the meaning
of section 705(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Act, by
reason of subsidized imports of glycine
from India and China.2
Scope of the Orders
The merchandise covered by these
orders is glycine from India and China.
For a complete description of the scope
of the orders, see the Appendix to this
notice.
Countervailing Duty Orders
On June 14, 2019, in accordance with
sections 705(b)(1)(A)(i) and 705(d) of the
Act, the ITC notified Commerce of its
final determinations that an industry in
the United States is materially injured
by reason of imports of glycine from
India and China.3 Therefore, in
accordance with sections 705(c)(2) and
706 of the Act, we are issuing these
countervailing duty orders. Because the
ITC determined that imports of glycine
from India and China are materially
injuring a U.S. industry, unliquidated
entries of such merchandise from India
and China, entered or withdrawn from
warehouse for consumption, are subject
to the assessment of countervailing
duties.
As a result of the ITC’s final
affirmative determinations, in
accordance with section 706(a)(1) of the
Act, Commerce will direct U.S. Customs
and Border Protection (CBP) to assess,
upon further instruction by Commerce,
countervailing duties on unliquidated
entries of glycine from India and China.
Countervailing duties will be assessed
on unliquidated entries of glycine from
India and China entered, or withdrawn
from warehouse, for consumption on or
after September 4, 2018, the date of
publication of the Preliminary
Determinations,4 but will not include
entries occurring after the expiration of
the provisional measures period and
before publication in the Federal
Register of the ITC’s injury
determination, as further described
below.
Suspension of Liquidation
In accordance with section 706 of the
Act, Commerce will instruct CBP to
reinstitute the suspension of liquidation
of subject merchandise (i.e., glycine
from India and China), effective on the
date of publication of the ITC’s final

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.

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

injury determinations in the Federal

ITC’s final affirmative injury
determinations in the Federal Register.

to glycine from India and China
pursuant to section 706(a) of the Act.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
In accordance with sections 705(d) and 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act
of 1930, as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 351.210(c), Commerce
published its affirmative final determinations in the countervailing
duty investigations of glycine from India and China on May 1, 2019.\1\
On June 14, 2019, the ITC notified Commerce of its final affirmative
determinations that an industry in the United States is materially
injured within the meaning of section 705(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Act, by
reason of subsidized imports of glycine from India and China.\2\

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scope of the Orders
The merchandise covered by these orders is glycine from India and
China. For a complete description of the scope of the orders, see the
Appendix to this notice.
Countervailing Duty Orders
On June 14, 2019, in accordance with sections 705(b)(1)(A)(i) and
705(d) of the Act, the ITC notified Commerce of its final
determinations that an industry in the United States is materially
injured by reason of imports of glycine from India and China.\3\
Therefore, in accordance with sections 705(c)(2) and 706 of the Act, we
are issuing these countervailing duty orders. Because the ITC
determined that imports of glycine from India and China are materially
injuring a U.S. industry, unliquidated entries of such merchandise from
India and China, entered or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption,
are subject to the assessment of countervailing duties.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ See ITC Letter.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
As a result of the ITC's final affirmative determinations, in
accordance with section 706(a)(1) of the Act, Commerce will direct U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to assess, upon further instruction
by Commerce, countervailing duties on unliquidated entries of glycine
from India and China. Countervailing duties will be assessed on
unliquidated entries of glycine from India and China entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after September 4,
2018, the date of publication of the Preliminary Determinations,\4\ but
will not include entries occurring after the expiration of the
provisional measures period and before publication in the Federal
Register of the ITC's injury determination, as further described below.

Countervailing Duty Determination and Alignment of Final
Determination with Final Antidumping Duty Determination, 83 FR 44859

China: Preliminary Affirmative Countervailing Duty Determination, 83
FR 44863 (September 4, 2018) (collectively, Preliminary
Determinations).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Suspension of Liquidation
In accordance with section 706 of the Act, Commerce will instruct
CBP to reinstitute the suspension of liquidation of subject merchandise
(i.e., glycine from India and China), effective on the date of
publication of the ITC's final
[[Page 29174]]
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.
