provided to producers and exporters of
glycine from India for the period of
review (POR) September 4, 2018,
through December 31, 2019. The
preliminary net subsidy rates are listed
below in the section titled ‘‘Preliminary
Results of Administrative Review.’’
Interested parties are invited to

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
AGENCY:
Background
On August 6, 2020, Commerce
published a notice of initiation of
administrative review of the
countervailing duty order on glycine
from India.1 On March 2, 2021,
Commerce extended the deadline for
issuing the preliminary results of
review.2 The revised deadline for these
preliminary results of review is now
June 30, 2021.
For a complete description of the
events that followed the initiation of
this review, see the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum.3 A list of topics
discussed in the Preliminary Decision
Memorandum is included at Appendix
I to this notice. The Preliminary
Decision Memorandum is a public
document and is on file electronically
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. In addition, a complete
version of the Preliminary Decision
Memorandum can be accessed directly
at https://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/.
Scope of the Order
The merchandise covered by the order
is glycine from India. For a complete
description of the scope of the order, see
the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
Methodology
Commerce is conducting this review
in accordance with section 751(a)(1)(A)
of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended
(the Act). For each of the subsidy
programs found countervailable, we
preliminarily determine that there is a
subsidy, i.e., a financial contribution
that gives rise to a benefit to the
recipient, and the subsidy is specific.4
For a full description of the
methodology underlying our
conclusions, see the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum.
On June 11, 2021, we initiated an
investigation of newly alleged subsidy
programs.5 Because we did not receive
information from the Government of
India, Avid Organics Private Limited
(Avid), or Kumar Industries (India)
(Kumar) related to the new subsidy
programs in time to evaluate them for
purposes of these preliminary results of
review, we intend to issue postpreliminary review results that
incorporate these programs.6
Companies Not Selected for Individual
Review
For companies not selected for
individual review, because the 2019
subsidy rates calculated for Avid and
Kumar were above de minimis and not
based on facts available, we have
preliminarily calculated a subsidy rate
based on a weighted-average of the
subsidy rates calculated for Avid and
Kumar using publicly ranged sales data
submitted by respondents.7 For 2018,
we preliminarily assigned to the
companies not individually examined a
subsidy rate of 3.58 percent, which is
the 2018 subsidy rate calculated for
Avid for these preliminary results of

Scope of the Order
The merchandise covered by the order
is certain corrosion-resistant steel
products. For a complete description of
the scope of the order, see the
Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
Methodology
Commerce is conducting this review
in accordance with section 751(a)(l)(A)
of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended
(the Act). For each of the subsidy
programs found countervailable, we
preliminarily determine that there is a
subsidy, i.e., a financial contribution
from an authority that gives rise to a
benefit to the recipient, and that the
subsidy is specific.6 For a full
description of the methodology
underlying our conclusions, see the
accompanying Preliminary Decision
Memorandum.
Preliminary Rate for Non-Selected
Companies Under Review
The statute and Commerce’s
regulations do not directly address the
CVD rates to be applied to companies
not selected for individual examination
where Commerce limited its
examination in an administrative review
pursuant to section 777A(e)(2) of the
4 See Memoranda, ‘‘Extension of Deadline for the
Preliminary Results of the 2019 Countervailing
Duty Administrative Review,’’ dated March 4, 2021,

Act. However, Commerce normally
determines the rates for non-selected
companies in reviews in a manner that
is consistent with section 705(c)(5) of
the Act, which provides instructions for
calculating the all-others rate in an
investigation. Section 777A(e)(2) of the
Act provides that ‘‘the individual
countervailable subsidy rates
determined under subparagraph (A)
shall be used to determine the all-others
rate under section 705(c)(5) {of the
Act}.’’ Section 705(c)(5)(A) of the Act
states that for companies not
investigated, in general, we will
determine an all-others rate by weightaveraging the countervailable subsidy
rates established for each of the
companies individually investigated,
excluding zero and de minimis rates or
any rates based solely on the facts
available.
We preliminarily determine that
Dongbu is the only mandatory
respondent that received
countervailable subsidies that are above
de minimis. Therefore, we preliminarily
determine to apply the net subsidy rate
calculated for Dongbu to the nonselected companies. For a list of the 36
companies for which a review was
requested, and which were not selected
as mandatory respondents or found to
be cross-owned with a mandatory
respondent, see Appendix II to this
notice.
Preliminary Results of the Review
As a result of this review, we
preliminarily determine the net
countervailable subsidy rates to be:
Producer/exporter

On June 11, 2021, we initiated an investigation of newly alleged
subsidy programs.\5\ Because we did not receive information from the
Government of India, Avid Organics Private Limited (Avid), or Kumar

Consistent with section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act, upon issuance of
the final results, Commerce shall determine, and U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, countervailing duties on all
appropriate entries covered by this review. Commerce intends to issue
assessment instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days after the date
of publication of the final results of this review in the Federal

for a statutory injunction has expired (i.e., within 90 days of
publication).

duties in the amounts shown for 2019 for each of the companies listed
above with regard to the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of publication of the
final results of this review. For all non-reviewed firms, we will
instruct CBP to continue to collect cash deposits at the most recent
company-specific or all-others rate applicable to the company, as
appropriate. These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.
