SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On March 5, 2018, Commerce published a notice of opportunity to 
request an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on 
glycine from China in the Federal Register. The period of review covers 
March 1, 2017, through February 28, 2018.\1\ On March 30, 2018, in 
accordance with section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 
(the Act), and 19 CFR 351.213(b), Commerce received a timely request 
from GEO Specialty Chemicals, Inc. (GEO), a domestic producer of 
glycine, to conduct an administrative review of the order with respect 
to entries of subject merchandise made by Kumar Industries, Rudraa 
International, Salvi Chemical Industries, Avid Organics Pvt. Ltd., and 
Baoding Mantong Fine Chemistry Co., Ltd.\2\ On May 2, 2018, pursuant to 
this request, in accordance with section 751(a) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.221(c)(1)(i), we initiated a review of those companies.\3\ On May 
30, 2018, GEO filed a timely withdrawal of its request of review for 
each of the five companies.\4\ No other party requested an 
administrative review of this order.

Rescission of Review

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Secretary will rescind an 
administrative review, in whole or in part, if the party that requested 
the review withdraws the

[[Page 36879]]

request within 90 days of the date of publication of the notice of 
initiation of the requested review. As noted above, GEO withdrew its 
request for review by the 90-day deadline and no other party requested 
an administrative review of the antidumping duty order. Accordingly, we 
are rescinding the administrative review of the antidumping duty order 
on glycine from China for the period
    March 1, 2017, through February 28, 2018, in its entirety, in 
accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1).

Assessment

    Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to 
assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries of glycine from 
China. Antidumping duties shall be assessed at rates equal to the cash 
deposit of estimated antidumping duties required at the time of entry, 
or withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption, in accordance with 19 
CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i). Commerce intends to issue appropriate assessment 
instructions to CBP 15 days after the date of publication of this 
notice in the Federal Register.

Notification to Importers

    This notice serves as a 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 review period. Failure to comply 
with this requirement could result in Commerce's presumption that 
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent 
assessment of doubled antidumping duties.

Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Orders

    This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under 
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305. 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 terms of an APO is a violation which is subject to 
sanction.
    This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections 
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: July 23, 2018.
James Maeder,
Associate Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Operations, performing the duties of Deputy Assistant Secretary 
for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Operations.
