The merchandise covered by this
investigation 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

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
this investigation if performed in the country
of manufacture of the in-scope glycine or
precursors of dried crystalline glycine.
Glycine has the Chemical Abstracts Service

Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: As a result of this sunset
review, the Department of Commerce
(Commerce) finds that revocation of the
antidumping duty order on diffusionannealed nickel-plated flat-rolled steel
products from Japan would be likely to
lead to continuation or recurrence of
dumping at the levels indicated in the
‘‘Final Results of Review’’ section of this
notice.
DATES: Applicable August 5, 2019.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On May 29, 2014, Commerce
published its antidumping duty order
on diffusion-annealed nickel-plated flatrolled steel products from Japan in the
Federal Register.1 On April 1, 2019,
Commerce published the notice of
initiation of the first sunset review of
the antidumping duty order on
diffusion-annealed nickel-plated flatrolled steel products from Japan,2
pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff
Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).3
Commerce received a notice of intent to
participate from Thomas Steel Strip
Corporation (Thomas), within the
deadline specified in 19 CFR
351.218(d)(1)(i).4 Thomas claimed
1 See Diffusion-Annealed, Nickel-Plated FlatRolled Steel Products from Japan: Antidumping
Duty Order, 79 FR 30816 (May 29, 2014) (Order).
2 See Diffusion-Annealed, Nickel-Plated FlatRolled Steel Products from Japan: Antidumping
Duty Order, 79 FR 30816 (May 29, 2014) (Order).
Consistent with the Final Determination, we
applied the following weighted-average dumping
margins for the two mandatory respondents, one of
which was based entirely on adverse facts available:
(1) Toyo Kohan Co., Ltd., 45.42 percent; and (2)
Nippon Steel & Sumitomo Metal Corporation, 77.70
percent. The All Others dumping margin was
established as 45.42 percent. Id. at 30817.

interested party status under section
771(9)(C) of the Act, as a domestic
producer of diffusion-annealed nickelplated flat-rolled steel products.
Commerce received a substantive
response from Thomas 5 within the 30day deadline specified in 19 CFR
351.218(d)(3)(i). We received no
substantive response from any other
domestic or interested parties in this
proceeding, nor was a hearing
requested.
On May 24, 2019, Commerce notified
the U.S. International Trade
Commission (ITC) that it did not receive
an adequate substantive response from
respondent interested parties.6 As a
result, pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(B)
of the Act and 19 CFR
351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2), Commerce
conducted an expedited (120-day)
sunset review of this antidumping duty
order.
Scope of the Order
The diffusion-annealed, nickel-plated
flat-rolled steel products included in
this order are flat-rolled, cold-reduced
steel products, regardless of chemistry;
whether or not in coils; either plated or
coated with nickel or nickel-based
alloys and subsequently annealed (i.e.,
‘‘diffusion-annealed’’); whether or not
painted, varnished or coated with
plastics or other metallic or nonmetallic
substances; and less than or equal to 2.0
mm in nominal thickness. For purposes
of this order, ‘‘nickel-based alloys’’
include all nickel alloys with other
metals in which nickel accounts for at
least 80 percent of the alloy by volume.
Imports of merchandise included in
the scope of this order are classified
primarily under Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (HTSUS)
subheadings 7212.50.0000 and
7210.90.6000, but may also be classified
under HTSUS subheadings
7210.70.6090, 7212.40.1000,
7212.40.5000, 7219.90.0020,

7220.90.0015, 7225.99.0090, or

order is dispositive. For a complete

Final Results of Review
Pursuant to sections 751(c)(1) and
752(c)(1) and (3) of the Act, we
determine that revocation of the

This notice also serves as the only
reminder to parties subject to an
administrative protective order (APO) of
their responsibility concerning the
