specifications before importation. Steel
propane cylinders range from 2.5 pound
nominal gas capacity (approximate 6 pound
water capacity and approximate 4–6 pound
tare weight) to 42 pound nominal gas
capacity (approximate 100 pound water
capacity and approximate 28–32 pound tare
weight). Steel propane cylinders have two or
fewer ports and may be imported assembled
or unassembled (i.e., welded or brazed before
or after importation), with or without all
components (including collars, valves,
gauges, tanks, foot rings, and overfill
prevention devices), and coated or uncoated.
Also included within the scope are drawn
cylinder halves, unfinished propane
cylinders, collars, and foot rings for steel
propane cylinders.
An ‘‘unfinished’’ or ‘‘unassembled’’
propane cylinder includes drawn cylinder
halves that have not been welded into a
cylinder, cylinders that have not had flanges
welded into the port hole(s), cylinders that
are otherwise complete but have not had
collars or foot rings welded to them,
otherwise complete cylinders without a valve
assembly attached, and cylinders that are
otherwise complete except for testing,
certification, and/or marking.
This investigation also covers steel
propane cylinders that meet, are produced to
meet, or are certified as meeting, other U.S.
or Canadian government, international, or
industry standards (including, for example,
American Society of Mechanical Engineers
(ASME), or American National Standard
Institute (ANSI)), if they also meet, are
produced to meet, or are certified as meeting
USDOT Specification 4B, 4BA, or 4BW, or
Transport Canada Specification 4BM, 4BAM,
or 4BWM, or a United Nations pressure
receptacle standard ISO 4706.
Subject merchandise also includes steel
propane cylinders that have been further
processed in a third country, including but
not limited to, attachment of collars, foot
rings, or handles by welding or brazing, heat
treatment, painting, testing, certification, or
any other processing that would not
otherwise remove the merchandise from the
scope of the investigation if performed in the
country of manufacture of the in-scope steel
propane cylinders.
Specifically excluded are seamless steel
propane cylinders and propane cylinders
made from stainless steel (i.e., steel
containing at least 10.5 percent chromium by
weight and less than 1.2 percent carbon by
weight), aluminum, or composite fiber
material. Composite fiber material is material
consisting of the mechanical combination of
two components: Fiber (typically glass,
carbon, or aramid (synthetic polymer)) and a
matrix material (typically polymer resin,
ceramic, or metallic).
The merchandise subject to this
investigation is properly classified under
statistical reporting numbers 7311.00.0060
and 7311.00.0090 of the Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (HTSUS).
Although the HTSUS statistical reporting
numbers are provided for convenience and
customs purposes, the written description of
the merchandise is dispositive.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
In accordance with sections 735(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
less-than-fair-value investigations of
glycine from India and Japan 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 735(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Act, by
reason of the less-than-fair-value
imports of glycine from India and
Japan.2
Scope of the Orders
The merchandise covered by these
orders is glycine from India and Japan.
For a complete description of the scope
of the orders, see the Appendix to this
notice.
Amendment to Final Determination
A ministerial error is defined as an
error in addition, subtraction, or other
arithmetic function, clerical error
resulting from inaccurate copying,
duplication, or the like, and any other
similar type of unintentional error
which the Secretary considers
ministerial.3
Pursuant to sections 735(e) of the Act
and 19 CFR 351.224(e) and (f),
Commerce is amending the India Final
Determination to reflect the correction
of two ministerial errors in the final
estimated weighted-average dumping
margin calculated for Kumar Industries,
India (Kumar). In addition, because
Kumar’s estimated weighted-average
dumping margin is the basis for the
estimated weighted-average dumping
margin determined for all other Indian
producers and exporters of subject
merchandise, we also are revising the
‘‘all-others’’ rate in the India Final

listed in the Suspension of Liquidation
section below.
Antidumping Duty Orders
On June 14, 2019, in accordance with
sections 735(b)(1)(A)(i) and 735(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 Japan.5 Therefore, in
accordance with sections 735(c)(2) and
736 of the Act, we are issuing these
antidumping duty orders. Because the
ITC determined that imports of glycine
from India and Japan are materially
injuring a U.S. industry, unliquidated
entries of such merchandise from India
and Japan, entered or withdrawn from
warehouse for consumption, are subject
to the assessment of antidumping
duties.
As a result of the ITC’s final
affirmative determinations, in
accordance with section 736(a)(1) of the
Act, Commerce will direct U.S. Customs
and Border Protection (CBP) to assess,
upon further instruction by Commerce,
antidumping duties equal to the amount
by which the normal value of the
merchandise exceeds the export price or
constructed export price of the
merchandise, for all relevant entries of
glycine from India and Japan. In the
case of entries from India, the
antidumping duties will be adjusted for
export subsidies found in the final
determination of the companion
countervailing duty investigation.6
Antidumping duties will be assessed on
unliquidated entries of glycine from
India and Japan entered, or withdrawn
from warehouse, for consumption on or
after October 31, 2018, the date of
publication of the Preliminary
Determinations, 7 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.
from India and Japan), effective the date
of publication of the ITC final
determination in the Federal Register,
and to assess, upon further instruction
by Commerce pursuant to section
736(a)(1) of the Act, antidumping duties
for each entry of the subject
merchandise equal to the amount by
which the normal value of the
merchandise exceeds the export price or
constructed export price of the
merchandise, adjusted by the amount of
export subsidies, where appropriate. We
intend to instruct CBP to require, at the
same time as importers would normally
deposit estimated import 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 other
producers or exporters not specifically
listed.

Section 733(d) of the Act 8 9 states that
suspension of liquidation pursuant to an
affirmative preliminary determination
may not remain in effect for more than
six months. Commerce published its
affirmative Preliminary Determinations
on October 31, 2018. Therefore, the sixmonth period beginning on the date of
publication of the Preliminary
Determinations ended on April 28,

CBP to terminate the suspension of
liquidation and to liquidate, without
regard to countervailing duties,
unliquidated entries of glycine from

withdrew their respective review
requests for an additional three
companies.9
All interested parties that withdrew
their requests for review of companies
also included those companies’ name
variations, as listed in the Initiation
Notice and the attached Appendix. All
review requests for the company names
listed in the Appendix have been
withdrawn; no other party requested a

Two additional companies withdrew
their review requests on May 30, 2019.10
However, because the petitioner and
ASPA did not withdraw their respective
review requests for these two
companies, the two companies remain
under active review.
Partial Rescission of Review
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1),
Commerce 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, Commerce is
rescinding this review with respect to
the companies identified in the
Appendix, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.213(d)(1).
Assessment
Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs
and Border Protection (CBP) to assess
antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries at a rate equal to the cash deposit
of estimated antidumping duties
required at the time of entry, or
withdrawal from warehouse, for
consumption, during the period

reason of the less-than-fair-value imports of glycine from India and
Japan.\2\

Scope of the Orders
The merchandise covered by these orders is glycine from India and

Amendment to Final Determination
A ministerial error is defined as an error in addition,

Pursuant to sections 735(e) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.224(e) and
(f), Commerce is amending the India Final Determination to reflect the
correction of two ministerial errors in the final estimated weighted-
average dumping margin calculated for Kumar Industries, India (Kumar).
In addition, because Kumar's estimated weighted-average dumping margin
is the basis for the estimated weighted-average dumping margin
determined for all other Indian producers and exporters of subject

Antidumping Duty Orders
On June 14, 2019, in accordance with sections 735(b)(1)(A)(i) and
735(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 Japan.\5\
Therefore, in accordance with sections 735(c)(2) and 736 of the Act, we
are issuing these antidumping duty orders. Because the ITC determined
that imports of glycine from India and Japan are materially injuring a
U.S. industry, unliquidated entries of such merchandise from India and
Japan, entered or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, are subject
to the assessment of antidumping duties.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ See ITC Letter.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
As a result of the ITC's final affirmative determinations, in
accordance with section 736(a)(1) of the Act, Commerce will direct U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to assess, upon further instruction
by Commerce, antidumping duties equal to the amount by which the normal
value of the merchandise exceeds the export price or constructed export
price of the merchandise, for all relevant entries of glycine from
India and Japan. In the case of entries from India, the antidumping
duties will be adjusted for export subsidies found in the final
determination of the companion countervailing duty investigation.\6\
Antidumping duties will be assessed on unliquidated entries of glycine
from India and Japan entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for

Suspension of Liquidation
In accordance with section 736 of the Act, Commerce will instruct
CBP to reinstitute the suspension of liquidation of subject merchandise
(i.e., glycine from India and Japan), effective the date of publication
of the ITC final determination in the Federal Register, and to assess,
upon further instruction by Commerce pursuant to section 736(a)(1) of
the Act, antidumping duties for each entry of the subject merchandise
equal to the amount by which the normal value of the merchandise
exceeds the export price or constructed export price of the
merchandise, adjusted by the amount of export subsidies, where
appropriate. We intend to instruct CBP to require, at the same time as
importers would normally deposit estimated import 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 other producers or exporters not specifically listed.

Provisional Measures
Section 733(d) of the Act 8 9 states that suspension of
liquidation pursuant to an affirmative preliminary determination may
not remain in effect for more than six months. Commerce published its
affirmative Preliminary Determinations on October 31, 2018. Therefore,
the six-month period beginning on the date of publication of the
Preliminary Determinations ended on April 28, 2019. Pursuant to section
737(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 733(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 Japan entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption after April 28, 2019, the date on which the
provisional measures expired, through the day preceding the date of
publication of the ITC's final affirmative injury determinations in the
