Notice of Amended Final Results of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Amendment to the Final Results 

In accordance with sections 751(a) 

and 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, 

as amended, (‘‘the Act’’), on August 6, 

2009, the Department issued its final 

results in the administrative review of 

the antidumping duty order on glycine 

from the People’s Republic of China 

(‘‘PRC’’), covering the March 1, 2007, 

through February 29, 2008, period. The 

final results were subsequently released 

to all parties in the proceeding, and 

published in the Federal Register on 

August 14, 2009. See Glycine from the 

People’s Republic of China: Final 

Results of Antidumping Duty 

Administrative Review, 74 FR 41121 

(August 14, 2009) (‘‘Glycine Final 

Results’’). On August 17, 2009, and 

pursuant to 19 CFR 351.224(c)(2), we 

received a timely–filed allegation from 

the domestic interested producer 

participating in this administrative 

review, GEO Specialty Chemicals, Inc. 

(‘‘GEO’’), that the Department made 

ministerial errors with respect to its 

final dumping margin calculation for 

respondent Baoding Mantong Fine 

Chemistry Co., Ltd. (‘‘Baoding 

Mantong’’). See Letter from GEO 

Specialty Chemicals, Inc. to the 

Department of Commerce, regarding 

‘‘Ministerial Error Comments,’’ dated 

August 17, 2009 (‘‘GEO Ministerial 

Letter’’). On August 21, 2009, we 

received comments from Baoding 

Mantong regarding the ministerial errors 

alleged by GEO. See Letter from Baoding 

Mantong Fine Chemistry Co., Ltd. to the 

Department of Commerce, regarding 

‘‘Response to Petitioner’s Ministerial 

Error Allegations,’’ dated August 21, 

2009 (‘‘Baoding Mantong Response 

Letter’’). For a discussion of the 

Department’s analysis of the allegations 

in the GEO Ministerial Letter and 

rebuttal comments in the Baoding 

Mantong Response Letter, see 

Memorandum from Dena Crossland to 

Richard O. Weible, entitled, 

‘‘Ministerial Errors Allegation in the 

Final Results of the Antidumping Duty 

Administrative Review of Glycine from 

the People’s Republic of China: Baoding 

Mantong Fine Chemistry Co., Ltd.,’’ 

dated September 14, 2009. 

A ministerial error includes ‘‘errors in 

addition, subtraction, or other 

arithmetic function, clerical errors 

resulting from inaccurate copying, 

duplication, or the like, and any other 

type of unintentional error which {the 

Department} considers ministerial.’’ 

Section 751(h) of the Act; see also 19 

CFR 351.224(f). In the GEO Ministerial 

Letter, GEO alleges that the Department 

made two ministerial errors in 

calculating Baoding Mantong’s dumping 

margin for the final results of this 

administrative review. First, GEO 

alleges that the Department made a 

ministerial error by not converting the 

Chemical Weekly value for methanol 

from a per–liter to a per–kilogram basis. 

Additionally, GEO argues that the 

Department should not have multiplied 

Chemical Weekly prices for 

formaldehyde from the period of review 

by a 37.2–percent concentration level (a 

simple average of the concentration 

levels that Baoding Mantong reported 

for the formaldehyde it consumes in the 

production of glycine) because 

Chemical Weekly prices were already 

based on a 37–percent concentration 

level, rather than a 100–percent 

concentration level. 

After analyzing GEO’s ministerial 

error comments and Baoding Mantong’s 

rebuttal comments, we have 

determined, in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.224(e), that we made the following 

ministerial error with respect to our 

final dumping margin calculation for 

Baoding Mantong: the Department 

inadvertently did not convert the 

Chemical Weekly value for methanol 

from a per–liter basis to a per–kilogram 

basis. See GEO Ministerial Letter; see 

also Administrative Review of Glycine 

from the People’s Republic of China: 

Surrogate Values for the Preliminary 

Results, dated March 31, 2009, at 6 and 

Attachment 5B, and 2007/2008 

Antidumping Duty Administrative 

Review of Glycine from the People’s 

Republic of China: Program Analysis for 

the Final Results, dated August 6, 2009, 

at Attachment 3. The Department has 

revised its calculation of the surrogate 

value for methanol to be consistent with 

Baoding Mantong’s reporting of its 

methanol input, as originally intended 

by the Department. 

With respect to GEO’s allegation that 

the Department erred in its calculation 

of the surrogate value for formaldehyde, 

we find that the alleged error does not 

meet the definition of ministerial error 

pursuant to 19 CFR 351.224(f) and is 

methodological in nature. Specifically, 

it is clear from the record that the 

Department intended to adjust the 

surrogate value for formaldehyde by 

37.2 percent, which is a simple average 

of the concentration levels that Baoding 

Mantong reported for the formaldehyde 

it consumes in the production of the 

subject merchandise. Therefore, we 

have not changed our surrogate value 

for formaldehyde. 

Therefore, in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.224(e), we are amending the final 

results in this antidumping duty 

administrative review of glycine from 

the PRC. After correcting the ministerial 

error with respect to Baoding Mantong’s 

methanol input, the amended final 

weighted–average dumping margin is as 

follows:

Assessment Rates 

The Department intends to issue 

assessment instructions to U.S. Customs 

and Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’) 15 days 

after the date of publication of these 

amended final results of review. In 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), 

we have calculated importer–specific 

assessment rates for merchandise 

subject to this review. 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following deposit requirements 

will be effective retroactively on any 

entries made on or after August 14, 

2009, the date of publication of the 

Final Results, for all shipments of 

subject merchandise entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption as provided by section 

751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For Baoding 

Mantong, which has a separate rate, the 

cash deposit rate will be the company– 

specific rate shown above; (2) for 

previously reviewed or investigated 

companies not listed above that have a 

separate rate, the cash deposit rate will 

continue to be the company–specific 

rate published for the most recent 

period; (3) the cash deposit rate for all 

other PRC exporters will be 155.89 

percent, the current PRC–wide rate; and 

(4) the cash deposit rate for all non–PRC 

exporters will be the rate applicable to 

the PRC exporter that supplied that 

exporter. These cash deposit 

requirements will remain in effect until 

further notice. 

Notification of Interested Parties 

This notice also serves as a final 

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 the 

Secretary’s presumption that 

reimbursement of the antidumping 

duties occurred and the subsequent 

assessment of double antidumping 

duties. This notice also serves as a 

reminder to parties subject to 

administrative protective orders 

(‘‘APOs’’) of their responsibility 

concerning the return or destruction of 

proprietary information disclosed under 

APO in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.305, which continues to govern 

business proprietary information in this 

segment of the proceeding. 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 that is subject to 

sanction. 

We are issuing and publishing these 

amended final results of review and 

notice in accordance with sections 

751(a) and 777(i) of the Act. 

Dated: September 14, 2009.
