Disclosure
Commerce intends to disclose the
calculations performed in connection
with these final results of review to
interested parties within five days of the
date of publication of this notice in the
Federal Register, in accordance with 19
CFR 351.224(b).
Assessment Rates
Commerce shall determine and U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
shall assess antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries of subject
merchandise in accordance with the
final results of this review pursuant to
section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19
CFR 351.212(b). For ULMA, we
calculated 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 those sales in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
Where an importer-specific assessment
rate is de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5
percent), the entries by that importer
will be liquidated without regard to
antidumping duties. For entries of
subject merchandise during the POR
produced by ULMA for which it did not
know its merchandise was destined for
the United States, we will instruct CBP
to liquidate unreviewed entries at the
all-others rate in the original less-thanfair-value (LTFV) investigation 11 if
there is no rate for the intermediate
company(ies) involved in the
transaction.12 For the companies
identified above that were not selected
for individual examination, we will
instruct CBP to liquidate entries of
subject merchandise during the POR at
the rates established in these final
results of review as listed above.
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 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 for estimated antidumping
duties will be effective upon publication
of this notice for all shipments of
flanges from Spain entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after the date of
publication as provided by section
751(a)(2) of the Act: (1) the cash deposit
rate for the companies subject to this
review will be equal to the companyspecific weighted-average dumping
margin established in the final results of
the review; (2) for merchandise exported
by producers or exporters not covered in
this review but covered in a prior
completed 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 has been covered in a prior
completed segment of this proceeding,
then 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 continue to be 18.81
percent, the all-others rate established
in the LTFV investigation of this
proceeding.13 These cash deposit
requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.
Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a final 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 POR. Failure to comply with
this requirement could result in
Commerce’s presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties
occurred and the subsequent assessment
of double antidumping duties.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice also serves as a reminder
to parties subject to an administrative
protective order (APO) of their
responsibility concerning the
destruction or return of proprietary
information disclosed under APO in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3),
which continues to govern business

requested. Failure to comply with the
regulations and terms of an APO is a
sanctionable violation.

notice in accordance with sections
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) determines that
Yuki Gosei Kogyo Co., Ltd. (YGK) and Nagase & Co., Ltd. (Nagase)
(collectively, YGK/Nagase) made sales of glycine from Japan at less
than normal value during the period of review (POR) June 1, 2021,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On July 7, 2023, Commerce published the Preliminary Results.\1\ We
invited interested parties to comment on the Preliminary Results. The
review covers one mandatory respondent, YGK/Nagase. On November 3,
2023, Commerce extended the deadline for the final results of review
until December

Order on Glycine from Japan; 2021-2022,'' dated concurrently with,
and hereby adopted by, this notice (Issues and Decision Memorandum).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scope of the Order
The merchandise covered by this order is glycine. Glycine and
glycine slurry are classified under Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTSUS) subheading 2922.49.43.00. Sodium glycinate is
classified in the HTSUS under 2922.49.80.00. For a complete description
of the scope of the order, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum.
Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs by parties to
this administrative review are addressed in the Issues and Decision
Memorandum. For a list of the issues raised by parties, see the
appendix to this notice. The Issues and 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 Issues and
Decision Memorandum can be accessed at https://access.trade.gov/public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx.
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on our review of the record and comments received from
interested parties, we made certain changes to the margin calculations
for YGK/Nagase.\4\ Specifically, we made changes to the calculation of
indirect selling expenses, U.S. credit expense and inventory carrying
cost, and financial expense.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ See Issues and Decision Memorandum at Comments 4, 5, and 8.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Final Results of the Administrative Review
We determine that the following estimated weighted-average dumping
margins exist for the period June 1, 2021, through May 31, 2022:

\5\ Based on the record information, Commerce preliminarily
determined that Nagase and YGK are affiliated within the meaning of
section 771(33)(E) of Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), and
should be treated as a single entity pursuant to 19 CFR 351.401(f).
See Preliminary Results. No party commented on our preliminary
determination with respect to this issue, and we have received no
new information regarding this issue. Therefore, we determine that
Nagase and YGK are affiliated within the meaning of section
771(33)(E) of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
We will disclose the calculations performed to parties in this
proceeding within five days after the date of the public announcement
of these final results of review, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).
Assessment Rate
Commerce shall determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries.\6\
For any individually examined respondents whose weighted-average
dumping margin is above de minimis (i.e., 0.5 percent), we calculated
importer-specific ad valorem duty assessment rates based on the ratio
of the total amount of dumping calculated for the importer's examined
sales to the total entered value of those same sales, in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). Upon issuance of the final results of this
administrative review, if any importer-specific assessment rates
calculated in the final results are above de minimis, Commerce will
issue instructions directly to CBP to assess antidumping duties on
appropriate entries.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ In these final results, Commerce applied the assessment rate
calculation method adopted in Antidumping Proceedings: Calculation
of the Weighted-Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in
Certain Antidumping Proceedings: Final Modification, 77 FR 8101
(February 14, 2012).

were de minimis, in accordance with the requirement set forth in 19 CFR
351.106(c)(2), we calculated importer (or customer)-specific ad valorem
rates by aggregating the amount of dumping calculated for all U.S.
sales to that importer or customer and dividing this amount by the
total entered value of the sales to that importer (or customer). Where
an importer (or customer)-specific ad valorem rate is greater than de
minimis, and the respondent has reported reliable entered values, we
will apply the assessment rate to the entered value of the importer's/
customer's entries during the POR.
Commerce intends to issue appropriate assessment instructions
directly to CBP no earlier than 35 days after the date of publication
of the final results of this 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 of this notice for all shipments of subject merchandise
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the
publication of these final results, as provided by section 751(a)(2) of
the Act: (1) the cash deposit rate for respondents noted above will be
equal to the weighted-average dumping margins established in the final
results of this administrative review; (2) for merchandise exported by
producers or exporters not covered in this administrative review but
covered in a prior segment of the proceeding, the cash deposit rate
will continue to be the company-specific rate published for the most
recently completed segment of this proceeding; (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 for the most recently completed segment of this
proceeding for the producer of the subject merchandise; and (4) the
cash deposit rate for all other producers or exporters will continue to
be 53.66 percent, the all-others rate established in the less-than-
fair-value investigation.\7\ These cash deposit requirements, when
imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice.

Notification to Importers Regarding the Reimbursement of Duties
This notice also serves as a final reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f) to file a certificate regarding
the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation of the
relevant entries during the POR. Failure to comply with this
requirement could result in Commerce's presumption that
[[Page 88054]]
reimbursement of antidumping duties did occur and the subsequent
assessment of doubled antidumping duties.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective orders (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/destruction
of APO materials, or conversion to judicial protective order, is hereby
requested. Failure to comply with the regulations and the terms of an
APO is a sanctionable violation.
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 19 CFR 351.213(h) and
19 CFR 351.221(b)(5).
Dated: December 14, 2023.
