own or will own private wells in rural 

areas. The individual loan recipients 

may use the funds to construct, 

refurbish, and service their household 

well systems for an existing home. The 

collection of information consists of the 

materials to file a grant application with 

the agency, including forms, 

certifications and required 

documentation.

burden for this collection of information 

is estimated to average 5.9 hours per 

response.

Glycine From the People’s Republic of 

China: Preliminary Results of 

Antidumping Duty Administrative 

Review; 2012–2013 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, 

formerly Import Administration, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce 

(the Department) is conducting an 

administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order on glycine from 

the People’s Republic of China (the 

PRC) covering the period of review from 

March 1, 2012, through February 28, 

2013. The Department has preliminarily 

applied facts otherwise available with 

an adverse inference to the PRC-wide 

entity because an element of the entity, 

Hebei Donghua Jiheng Fine Chemical 

Co., Ltd. (Donghua Fine Chemical), 

failed to act to the best of its ability in 

complying with the Department’s 

request for information in this review 

and, consequently, significantly 

impeded the proceeding. Interested 

parties are invited to comment on these 

preliminary results. 

DATES: Effective Date: December 26, 

2013. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Street and Constitution Avenue NW., 

Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 

482–3931 or (202) 482–3019, 

respectively. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Scope of the Order 

The product covered by the 

antidumping duty order is glycine, 

which is a free-flowing crystalline 

material, like salt or sugar.1 The subject 

merchandise is currently classifiable 

under the Harmonized Tariff Schedule 

of the United States (HTSUS) 

subheading 2922.49.4020. The HTSUS 

subheading is provided for convenience 

and customs purposes only; the written 

product description of the scope of the 

order is dispositive.2

Tolling of Deadlines for Preliminary 

Results 

As explained in a memorandum from 

the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement 

and Compliance, the Department has 

exercised its discretion to toll deadlines 

for the duration of the closure of the 

federal government from October 1, 

2013, through October 16, 2013.3

Therefore, all deadlines in this segment 

of the proceeding have been extended 

by 16 days. If the new deadline falls on 

a non-business day, in accordance with 

the Department’s practice, the deadline 

will become the next business day. The 

revised deadline for the preliminary 

results of this review is now December 

18, 2013. 

Methodology 

The Department conducted this 

review in accordance with section 

751(a)(1)(B) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 

amended (the Act). We preliminarily 

applied adverse facts available to the 

PRC-wide entity in accordance with 

section 776 of the Act. For a full 

description of the methodology 

underlying our conclusions, see the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum. 

The Preliminary Decision Memorandum 

is a public document and is on file 

electronically via Enforcement and 

Compliance’s Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Centralized 

Electronic Service System (IA ACCESS). 

IA ACCESS is available to registered 

users at http://iaaccess.trade.gov, and is 

available to all parties in the Central 

Records Unit, Room 7046 of the main 

Department of Commerce building. In 

addition, a complete version of the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum can 

be accessed directly at http://

enforcement.trade.gov/frn/. The signed 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum and 

the electronic versions of the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum are
