consider in determining whether to
include merchandise assembled or
completed in a foreign country within
the scope of an AD or CVD order.
Specifically, Commerce shall take into
account such factors as: (A) the pattern
of trade, including sourcing patterns; (B)
whether the manufacturer or exporter of
the merchandise that was shipped to the
foreign country is affiliated with the
person who, in the foreign country, uses
the merchandise to complete or
assemble the merchandise which is
subsequently imported into the United
States; and (C) whether imports of the
merchandise into the foreign country
have increased after the initiation of the
investigation that resulted in the
issuance of such order.
Analysis
ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1
Based on our analysis of American
HFC Coalition’s circumvention requests,
Commerce determines that American
HFC Coalition has satisfied the criteria
under 19 CFR 351.226(c) to warrant the
initiation of circumvention inquiries of
the Order. For a full discussion of the
basis for our decision to initiate these
circumvention inquiries, see the
Initiation Checklists.12 As explained in
the Initiation Checklists, the
information provided by domestic
interested parties warrants initiating
these circumvention inquiries on a
country-wide basis. Commerce has
taken this approach in prior
circumvention inquiries, where the facts
warranted initiation on a country-wide
basis.13
12 See Checklist, ‘‘Enforcement and Compliance,
Office of AD/CVD Operations, U.S. Custom Blends
Circumvention Initiation Checklist,’’ dated June 29,
2023; see also Checklist, ‘‘Enforcement and
Compliance, Office of AD/CVD Operations, Custom
Blends from Malaysia Circumvention Initiation
Checklist,’’ dated June 29, 2023; Checklist,
‘‘Enforcement and Compliance, Office of AD/CVD
Operations, R410A from Turkey Circumvention
Initiation Checklist,’’ dated June 29, 2023; and
Checklist, ‘‘Enforcement and Compliance, Office of
AD/CVD Operations, R10B from Turkey
Circumvention Initiation Checklist,’’ dated June 29,
2023 (Collectively, Initiation Checklists).

China: Initiation of Anti-Circumvention Inquiry on
the Antidumping Duty Order, 82 FR 40556, 40560

Commerce would evaluate the extent to which a
country-wide finding applicable to all exports
might be warranted); and Certain CorrosionResistant Steel Products from the People’s Republic

applicable to all exports might be warranted).

Consistent with the approach in the
prior circumvention inquiries that were
initiated on a country-wide basis,
Commerce intends to issue four
questionnaires (one for China, one for
Malaysia, and two for Turkey) to solicit
information from producers and
exporters in China, Malaysia, and
Turkey, respectively, concerning their
shipments to the United States and the
origin of any imported HFC blends
being further processed into HFC blends
subject to the Order.
Respondent Selection
Commerce intends to base respondent
selection on U.S. Customs and Border
and Protection (CBP) data. Commerce
intends to place CBP data on each
record within five days of the
publication of the initiation notice.
Comments regarding the CBP data and
respondent selection should be
submitted within seven days after
placement of the CBP data on the record
of the relevant inquiry.
Commerce intends to establish a
schedule for questionnaire responses
after respondent selection. A company’s
failure to completely respond to
Commerce’s requests for information
may result in the application of partial
or total facts available, pursuant to
section 776(a) of the Act, which may
include adverse inferences, pursuant to
section 776(b) of the Act.
Suspension of Liquidation
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.226(l)(1),
Commerce will notify CBP of the
initiation of these circumvention
inquiries and direct CBP to continue the
suspension of liquidation of entries of
products subject to the circumvention
inquiries that were already subject to
the suspension of liquidation under the
Order and to apply the cash deposit rate
that would be applicable if the products
were determined to be covered by the
scope of the Order. Should Commerce
issue preliminary or final circumvention
determinations, Commerce will follow
the suspension of liquidation rules
under 19 CFR 351.226(l)(2)–(4).
Notification to Interested Parties
In accordance with 19 CFR 351.226(d)
and sections 781(a) and (b) of the Act,
Commerce determines that the
American HFC Coalition’s requests for
these circumvention inquiries satisfies
the requirements of 19 CFR 351.226(c).
Accordingly, Commerce is notifying all
interested parties of the initiation of
these four circumvention inquiries to
determine whether: (1) U.S. imports
from China of R–410B, R–407G, and a
custom blend that are further processed
in the United States, are circumventing

the Order; (2) U.S. imports from
Malaysia of R–410A and R–407C that
are completed in Malaysia using
Chinese components are circumventing
the Order; (3) U.S. imports of R–410B
from Turkey that are completed in
Turkey using Chinese components and
further processed in the United States
into in-scope blends are circumventing
the Order; and (4) U.S. imports from
Turkey of R–410A that are completed in
Turkey using Chinese components are
circumventing the Order. In addition,
we included a description of the
products that are the subject of these
inquiries and an explanation of the
reasons for Commerce’s decision to
initiate these inquiries as provided
above and in the accompanying
Initiation Checklists. In accordance with
19 CFR 351.226(e)(1), Commerce
intends to issue its preliminary
determination no later than 150 days
from the date of publication of the
notice of initiation of these
circumvention inquiries in the Federal
Register.
This notice is published in
accordance with sections 781(a) and (b)
of the Act and 19 CFR 351.226(d)(1)(ii).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On June 21, 2019, Commerce
published the antidumping duty order
on glycine from India.1 On June 3, 2022,
Commerce published in the Federal
Register a notice of opportunity to
request an administrative review of the
Order.2 On August 9, 2022, based on
timely filed requests for review,
Commerce initiated this administrative
review in accordance with section
751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (the Act).3 On February 24,
2023, Commerce extended the time
limit for these preliminary results to
June 30, 2023, in accordance with
section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.4
Scope of the Order
The merchandise subject to the Order
is glycine. For a complete description of
the scope of the Order, see the
Preliminary Decision Memorandum.5

Methodology
Commerce is conducting this review
in accordance with section 751(a)(1)(B)
of the Act. Export price and constructed
export price are calculated in
accordance with section 772 of the Act.
Normal value is calculated in
accordance with section 773 of the Act.
For a full description of the
methodology underlying these
preliminary results, see the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum. A list of the
topics discussed in the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum is attached as an
appendix to this notice. The Preliminary
Decision Memorandum is a public

Application of Facts Available With
Adverse Inferences
Pursuant to section 776(a) of the Act,
Commerce is preliminarily relying upon
facts otherwise available to determine a
weighted-average dumping margin for
Kumar Industries/Rudraa International
(collectively, Kumar) 6 because: (1)
necessary information is not available
on the record; and (2) Kumar withheld
requested information, failed to provide
such information by the established
deadlines, and significantly impeded
this proceeding. Further, Commerce
preliminarily determines that an
adverse inference is warranted in
selecting from among the facts
otherwise available pursuant to section
776(b) of the Act because Kumar failed
to cooperate to the best of its ability. For
further information, see the section,
‘‘Application of Facts Available and
Adverse Inferences’’ in the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum.
Rate for Non-Selected Respondent
The Act and Commerce’s regulations
do not address the establishment of a
rate to be applied to companies not
selected for individual examination
when Commerce limits its examination
in an administrative review pursuant to
section 777A(c)(2) of the Act. Generally,
Commerce looks to section 735(c)(5) of
the Act, which provides instructions for
calculating the all-others rate in a
market economy investigation, for
guidance when calculating the rate for
non-examined companies in an
administrative review. Under section
735(c)(5)(A) of the Act, the all-others
rate is normally ‘‘an amount equal to the
weighted average of the estimated
weighted-average dumping margins
established for exporters and producers
individually investigated, excluding any
zero and de minimis margins, and any
margins determined entirely {on the
basis of facts available}.’’
In this administrative review, we have
preliminarily calculated a weightedaverage dumping margin for the
mandatory respondent, Avid Organics
Private Limited, that is not zero, de
minimis, or based entirely on facts
available (i.e., 3.90 percent).
6 In the last two completed administrative
reviews, Commerce treated Kumar Industries and
Rudraa International as a collapsed joint entity. See
Glycine from India: Final Results of Antidumping
Duty Administrative Review; 2018–2020, 86 FR
62508, 62509 n.4 (November 10, 2021); and Glycine
from India: Final Results of Antidumping Duty
Administrative Review; 2020–2021, 87 FR 67870,
67871, n.5 (November 10, 2022). For these
preliminary results, we continue to treat these two
companies as a collapsed joint entity.

Assessment Rates
ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1
Upon completion of the
administrative review, Commerce shall
determine and U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) shall assess
antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries covered by this review. If the
weighted-average dumping margin for
any individually examined respondent
is above de minimis (i.e., 0.50 percent)
in the final results of this review, we
will calculate importer-specific
assessment rates on the basis of the ratio
of the total amount of dumping
calculated for each importer’s examined
sales and the total entered value of such
sales in accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1).13 If any of these
companies’ weighted-average dumping
margin is zero or de minimis in the final
results of review, or if an importerspecific assessment rate for any of these
companies is zero or de minimis,
Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate
appropriate entries without regard to
antidumping duties.14 For entries of
subject merchandise during the period
of review produced by any of these
companies for which it did not know its

Commerce intends to issue
assessment instructions to CBP no
earlier than 35 days after the date of
publication of the final results of this
administrative review in the Federal
Register. If a timely summons is filed at
the U.S. Court of International Trade,
the assessment instructions will direct
CBP not to liquidate relevant entries
until the time for parties to file a request
for a statutory injunction has expired
(i.e., within 90 days of publication).
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective upon
publication in the Federal Register of
the notice of final results of
administrative review for all shipments
of glycine from India entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after the date of
publication as provided by section
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) the cash
deposit rate for companies subject to
this review will be equal to the
company-specific weighted-average
dumping margin established in the final
results of the review; (2) for
merchandise exported by a company not
covered in this review but covered in a
prior segment of the proceeding, the
cash deposit rate will continue to be the
company-specific rate published in the
completed segment for the most recent
period; (3) if the exporter is not a firm
covered in this review, a prior review,
or the original investigation but the
producer is, the cash deposit rate will be
the rate established in the completed
segment for the most recent period for
the producer of the merchandise; (4) the
cash deposit rate for all other producers
or exporters will be 7.23 percent, the allothers rate established in the less-thanfair-value investigation, adjusted for the
export-subsidy rate in the companion
countervailing duty investigation.16
These cash deposit requirements, when
imposed, shall remain in effect until
further notice.
Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as a
preliminary reminder to importers of
their responsibility under 19 CFR
351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement of
antidumping and/or countervailing
duties prior to liquidation of the
relevant entries during this review
period. Failure to comply with this

Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing this

impeded this proceeding. Further, Commerce preliminarily determines
that an adverse inference is warranted in selecting from among the
facts otherwise available pursuant to section 776(b) of the Act because
Kumar failed to cooperate to the best of its ability. For further
information, see the section, ``Application of Facts Available and

Rate for Non-Selected Respondent
The Act and Commerce's regulations do not address the establishment
of a rate to be applied to companies not selected for individual
examination when Commerce limits its examination in an administrative
review pursuant to section 777A(c)(2) of the Act. Generally, Commerce
looks to section 735(c)(5) of the Act, which provides instructions for
calculating the all-others rate in a market economy investigation, for
guidance when calculating the rate for non-examined companies in an
administrative review. Under section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act, the all-
others rate is normally ``an amount equal to the weighted average of
the estimated weighted-average dumping margins established for
exporters and producers individually investigated, excluding any zero
and de minimis margins, and any margins determined entirely {on the
basis of facts available{time} .''
In this administrative review, we have preliminarily calculated a
weighted-average dumping margin for the mandatory respondent, Avid
Organics Private Limited, that is not zero, de minimis, or based
entirely on facts available (i.e., 3.90 percent). Accordingly, we have
preliminarily assigned this rate to Paras Intermediates Private
Limited, the sole respondent not selected for individual examination in
this administrative review.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\7\ See Preliminary Decision Memorandum at 7-8.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Preliminary Results of Review
We preliminarily determine that the following weighted-average
dumping margins exist for the period June 1, 2021, through May 31,
2022.

Assessment Rates
Upon completion of the administrative review, Commerce shall
determine and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess
antidumping duties on all appropriate entries covered by this review.
If the weighted-average dumping margin for any individually examined
respondent is above de minimis (i.e., 0.50 percent) in the final
results of this review, we will calculate importer-specific assessment
rates on the basis of the ratio of the total amount of dumping
calculated for each importer's examined sales and the total entered
value of such sales in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).\13\ If any
of these companies' weighted-average dumping margin is zero or de
minimis in the final results of review, or if an importer-specific
assessment rate for any of these companies is zero or de minimis,
Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate appropriate entries without
regard to antidumping duties.\14\ For entries of subject merchandise
during the period of review produced by any of these companies for
which it did not know its merchandise was destined for the United
States, we will instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed entries.\15\

Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier
than 35 days after the date of publication of the final results of this
administrative review in the Federal Register. If a timely summons is
filed at the U.S. Court of International Trade, the assessment
instructions will direct CBP not to liquidate relevant entries until
the time for parties to file a request for a statutory injunction has
expired (i.e., within 90 days of publication).
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon
publication in the Federal Register of the notice of final results of
administrative review for all shipments of glycine from India entered,
or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of
publication as provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) the
cash deposit rate for companies subject to this review will be equal to
the company-specific weighted-average dumping margin established in the
final results of the review; (2) for merchandise exported by a company
not covered in this review but covered in a prior segment of the
proceeding, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the company-
specific rate published in the completed segment for the most recent
period; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this review, a
prior review, or the original investigation but the producer is, the
cash deposit rate will be the rate established in the completed segment
for the most recent period for the producer of the merchandise; (4) the
cash deposit rate for all other producers or exporters will be 7.23
percent, the all-others rate established in the less-than-fair-value
investigation, adjusted for the export-subsidy rate in the companion
countervailing duty investigation.\16\ These cash deposit requirements,
when imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice.

Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as a preliminary reminder to importers of
their responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement of antidumping and/or countervailing 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 antidumping and/or countervailing
duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of double antidumping
duties, and/or an increase in the amount of antidumping duties by the
amount of countervailing duties.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and sections 19 CFR
351.213(h)(2) and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4).
Dated: June 29, 2023.
