On March 29, 1995, Commerce published the AD order on glycine from China.^[1] On January 3, 2022, Commerce published a notice of initiation of the fifth sunset review of the Order, pursuant to section 751(c)(2) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).^[2] On January 10, 2022, Commerce received a timely notice of intent to participate in this sunset review from GEO Specialty Chemicals, Inc.
