Glycine From the People's Republic of China: Continuation of 
Antidumping Duty Order

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.

SUMMARY: As a result of the determinations by the Department of 
Commerce (the Department) and the U.S. International Trade Commission 
(USITC) that revocation of the antidumping duty order on glycine from 
the People's Republic of China (the PRC) would likely lead to 
continuation or recurrence of dumping and material injury to an 
industry in the United States, the Department is publishing a notice of 
continuation of this antidumping duty order.

DATES: Effective February 15, 2017.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dena Crossland or Brian Davis, AD/CVD 
Operations, Office VI, Enforcement and Compliance, U.S. Department of 
Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20230; telephone 
(202) 482-3362 or (202) 482-7924, respectively.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On March 29, 1995, the Department published the antidumping duty 
order on glycine from the PRC.\1\ On August 1, 2016, the Department 
initiated a sunset review of the Order in accordance with section 
751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Glycine from the People's Republic of China: Antidumping 
Duty Order, 60 FR 16116 (March 29, 1995) (Order).
    \2\ See Initiation of Five-Year (``Sunset'') Review, 81 FR 50462 
(August 1, 2016).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    As a result of this sunset review, the Department determined that 
revocation of the Order would likely lead to continuation or recurrence 
of dumping and, therefore, notified the USITC of the magnitude of the 
margins of dumping likely to prevail should the order be revoked.\3\ On 
February 3, 2017, the USITC published its determination, pursuant to 
section 751(c) of the Act, that revocation of the Order would be likely 
to lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury to an industry 
in the United Sates within a reasonably foreseeable time.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See Glycine from the People's Republic of China: Final 
Results of the Expedited Sunset Review of the Antidumping Duty 
Order, 81 FR 88663 (December 8, 2016) and accompanying Issues and 
Decision Memorandum.
    \4\ See Glycine from China; Determination, 82 FR 9223 (February 
3, 2017), and USITC Publication 4667 (January 2017), entitled 
Glycine from China: Investigation No. 731-TA-718 (Fourth Review).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Scope of the Order

    The product covered by the order is glycine, which is a free-
flowing crystalline material, like salt or sugar. Glycine is produced 
at varying levels of purity and is used as a sweetener/taste enhancer, 
a buffering agent, reabsorbable amino acid, chemical intermediate, and 
a metal complexing agent. This order covers glycine of all purity 
levels. Glycine is currently classified under subheading 2922.49.4020 
of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS). 
Although the HTSUS subheading is provided for convenience and Customs 
purposes, the written description of the merchandise under the order is 
dispositive.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ In a separate scope ruling, the Department determined that 
D(-) Phenylglycine Ethyl Dane Salt is outside the scope of the 
Order. See Notice of Scope Rulings, 62 FR 62288 (November 21, 1997).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Continuation of the Order

    As a result of the determinations by the Department and the USITC 
that revocation of the Order would be likely to lead to continuation or 
recurrence of dumping and material injury to an industry in the United 
States, pursuant to section 751(d)(2) of the Act, the Department hereby 
orders the continuation of the Order.
    U.S. Customs and Border Protection will continue to collect cash 
deposits of estimated antidumping duties at the rates in effect at the 
time of entry for all imports of subject merchandise. The effective 
date of the continuation of this order will be the effective date 
listed above. Pursuant to section 751(c)(2) of the Act, the Department 
intends to initiate the next sunset review of this order not later than 
30 days prior to the fifth anniversary of the effective date of 
continuation.
