SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Background.--On March 29, 1995, the Department of Commerce 
(Commerce) issued an antidumping duty order on imports of glycine from 
China (60 FR 16116). Following first five-year reviews by Commerce and 
the Commission, effective July 25, 2000, Commerce issued a continuation 
of the antidumping duty order on imports of glycine from China (65 FR 
45752). Following second five-year reviews by Commerce and the 
Commission, effective November 15, 2005, Commerce issued a second 
continuation of the antidumping duty order on imports of glycine from 
China (70 FR 69316). Following the third five-year reviews by Commerce 
and the Commission, effective September 19, 2011, Commerce issued a 
continuation of the antidumping duty order on imports of glycine from 
China (76 FR 57951). The Commission is now conducting a fourth review 
pursuant to section 751(c) of the Act, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1675(c)), 
to determine whether revocation of the order would be likely to lead to 
continuation or recurrence of material injury to the domestic industry 
within a reasonably foreseeable time. Provisions concerning the conduct 
of this proceeding may be found in the Commission's Rules of Practice 
and Procedure at 19 CFR parts 201, subparts A and B and 19 CFR part 
207, subparts A and F. The Commission will assess the adequacy of 
interested party responses to this notice of institution to determine 
whether to conduct a full review or an expedited review. The 
Commission's determination in any expedited review will be based on the 
facts available, which may include information provided in response to 
this notice.
    Definitions.--The following definitions apply to this review:
    (1) Subject Merchandise is the class or kind of merchandise that is 
within the scope of the five-year review, as defined by the Department 
of Commerce.
    (2) The Subject Country in this review is China.
    (3) The Domestic Like Product is the domestically produced product 
or products which are like, or in the absence of like, most similar in 
characteristics and uses with, the Subject Merchandise. In its original 
determination, the Commission defined the Domestic Like Product as all 
glycine. In its expedited first and second five-year review 
determinations and its full third five-year review determination, the 
Commission continued to define the Domestic Like Product as glycine of 
all purity levels, coextensive with Commerce's scope.
    (4) The Domestic Industry is the U.S. producers as a whole of the 
Domestic Like Product, or those producers whose collective output of 
the Domestic Like Product constitutes a major proportion of the total 
domestic production of the product. In its original determination and 
its first and second expedited five-year review determinations, the 
Commission defined the Domestic Industry as all domestic producers of 
glycine.
    (5) An Importer is any person or firm engaged, either directly or 
through a parent company or subsidiary, in importing the Subject 
Merchandise into the United States from a foreign manufacturer or 
through its selling agent.
    Participation in the proceeding and public service list.--Persons, 
including industrial users of the Subject Merchandise and, if the 
merchandise is sold at the retail level, representative consumer 
organizations, wishing to participate in the proceeding as parties must 
file an entry of appearance with the Secretary to the Commission, as

[[Page 50548]]

provided in Sec.  201.11(b)(4) of the Commission's rules, no later than 
21 days after publication of this notice in the Federal Register. The 
Secretary will maintain a public service list containing the names and 
addresses of all persons, or their representatives, who are parties to 
the proceeding.
    Former Commission employees who are seeking to appear in Commission 
five-year reviews are advised that they may appear in a review even if 
they participated personally and substantially in the corresponding 
underlying original investigation or an earlier review of the same 
underlying investigation. The Commission's designated agency ethics 
official has advised that a five-year review is not the same particular 
matter as the underlying original investigation, and a five-year review 
is not the same particular matter as an earlier review of the same 
underlying investigation for purposes of 18 U.S.C. 207, the post 
employment statute for Federal employees, and Commission rule at Sec.  
201.15(b) (19 CFR 201.15(b)), 79 FR 3246 (Jan. 17, 2014), 73 FR 24609 
(May 5, 2008). Consequently, former employees are not required to seek 
Commission approval to appear in a review under Commission rule 19 CFR 
201.15, even if the corresponding underlying original investigation or 
an earlier review of the same underlying investigation was pending when 
they were Commission employees. For further ethics advice on this 
matter, contact Carol McCue Verratti, Deputy Agency Ethics Official, at 
202-205-3088.
    Limited disclosure of business proprietary information (BPI) under 
an administrative protective order (APO) and APO service list.--
Pursuant to Sec.  207.7(a) of the Commission's rules, the Secretary 
will make BPI submitted in this proceeding available to authorized 
applicants under the APO issued in the proceeding, provided that the 
application is made no later than 21 days after publication of this 
notice in the Federal Register. Authorized applicants must represent 
interested parties, as defined in 19 U.S.C. 1677(9), who are parties to 
the proceeding. A separate service list will be maintained by the 
Secretary for those parties authorized to receive BPI under the APO.
    Certification.--Pursuant to Sec.  207.3 of the Commission's rules, 
any person submitting information to the Commission in connection with 
this proceeding must certify that the information is accurate and

submitted in response to this request for information and throughout 
this proceeding or other proceeding may be disclosed to and used: (i) 
By the Commission, its employees and Offices, and contract personnel

proceeding, or (b) in internal investigations, audits, reviews, and

government employees and contract personnel, solely for cybersecurity 
purposes. All contract personnel will sign appropriate nondisclosure 
agreements.

rules, each interested party response to this notice must provide the

eligible parties (as specified in Commission rule at Sec.  
207.62(b)(1)) may also file comments concerning the adequacy of 
responses to the notice of institution and whether the Commission 
should conduct an expedited or full review. The deadline for filing 
such comments is October 14, 2016. All written submissions must conform 
with the provisions of Sec.  201.8 of the Commission's rules; any 
submissions that contain BPI must also conform with the requirements of 
Sec. Sec.  201.6, 207.3, and 207.7 of the Commission's rules. The 
Commission's Handbook on E-Filing, available on the Commission's Web 
site at http://edis.usitc.gov, elaborates upon the Commission's rules 
with respect to electronic filing. Also, in accordance with Sec. Sec.  
201.16(c) and 207.3 of the Commission's rules, each document filed by a 
party to the proceeding must be served on all other parties to the 
proceeding (as identified by either the public or APO service list as 
appropriate), and a certificate of service must accompany the document 
(if you are not a party to the proceeding you do not need to serve your 
response).
    No response to this request for information is required if a

displayed; the OMB number is 3117-0016/USITC No. 16-5-363, expiration

furnish the information requested by this notice in the requested form 
and manner shall notify the Commission at the earliest possible time, 
provide a full explanation of why it cannot provide the requested 
information, and indicate alternative forms in which it can provide 
equivalent information. If an interested party does not provide this 
notification (or the Commission finds the explanation provided in the 
notification inadequate) and fails to provide a complete response to 
this notice, the Commission may take an adverse inference against the 
party pursuant to section 776(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1677e(b)) in 
making its determination in the review.
