SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:  Background On July 7, 2023, Commerce published the 
                    *Preliminary Results*
                     of the 2021-2022 administrative review of the antidumping duty order on glycine from India.[1]
                    
                     For a complete description of the events that followed the 
                    *Preliminary Results, see*
                     the Issues and Decision Memorandum.[2]
                    
                     Commerce conducted this administrative review in accordance with section 751 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). Scope of the Order The merchandise subject to the 
                    *Order*
                     is glycine. For a complete description of the scope of this 
                    *Order, see*
                     the Issues and Decision Memorandum.[3] Analysis of Comments Received All issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs filed by interested parties in this administrative review are addressed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum. A list of the issues addressed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum is attached to this notice as an appendix. The Issues and Decision Memorandum is a public document and is on file electronically via Enforcement and Compliance's Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS). ACCESS is available to registered users at 
                    *https://access.trade.gov.*
                     In addition, a complete version of the Issues and Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly at 
                    *https://access.trade.gov/​public/​FRNoticesListLayout.aspx.* Changes Since the Preliminary Results Based on a review of the record and our analysis of the comments received from interested parties regarding our 
                    *Preliminary Results,*
                     and for the reasons explained in the Issues and Decision Memorandum, we made changes to the surrogate constructed value profit and selling expense ratio calculations and other changes for the final results of this administrative review. Rate for Non-Selected Respondent The statute and Commerce's regulations do not address the establishment of a rate to be applied to companies not selected for examination when Commerce limits its examination in an administrative review pursuant to section 777A(c)(2) of the Act. Generally, Commerce looks to section 735(c)(5) of the Act, which provides instructions for calculating the all-others rate in a market economy investigation, for guidance when calculating the rate for companies which were not selected for individual examination in an administrative review. In this administrative review, the only mandatory respondent for which we have calculated a weighted-average dumping margin that is not zero, 
                    *de minimis,*
                     or based entirely on facts available (
                    *i.e.,*
                     5.29 percent) is Avid Organics Private Limited. The final rate determined for Kumar Industries/Rudraa International is based on the application of adverse facts available. Accordingly, we have assigned Avid's rate to Paras Intermediates Private Limited, the sole respondent not selected for individual examination in this administrative review.[4] Final Results of Review We determine that the following estimated weighted-average dumping margins exist for the period of review June 1, 2021, through May 31, 2022: Producer/exporter

 Disclosure Commerce intends to disclose its calculations and analysis performed to interested parties in the final results of this administrative review within five days of any public announcement or, if there is no public announcement, within five days of the date of publication of this notice, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). Assessment Rates Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), Commerce shall determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries of subject merchandise in accordance with the final results of this administrative review. For any individually examined respondent whose weighted-average dumping margin is above 
                    *de minimis*
                     (
                    *i.e.,*
                     0.50 percent), we calculated importer-specific assessment rates on the basis of the ratio of the total amount of antidumping duties calculated for each importer's examined sales and the total entered value of the sales, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).[6]
                    
                     Where either a respondent's weighted-average dumping margin is zero or 
                    *de minimis,*
                     or an importer-specific assessment rate is zero or 
                    *de minimis,*
                     we will instruct CBP to liquidate appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties.[7]
                    
                     For entries of subject merchandise during the period of review produced by any of these companies for which it did not know its merchandise was destined for the United States, we will instruct CBP to liquidate such entries at the all-others rate if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction.[8] 
 
 Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days after the date of publication of the final results of this administrative review in the 
                    **Federal Register**
                    . If a timely summons is filed at the U.S. Court of International Trade, the assessment instructions will direct CBP not to liquidate relevant entries until the time for parties to file a request for a statutory injunction has expired (
                    *i.e.,*
                     within 90 days of publication). The final results of this administrative review shall be the basis for the assessment of antidumping duties on entries of merchandise under review and for future cash deposits of estimated antidumping duties, where applicable. Cash Deposit Requirements The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon publication in the 
                    **Federal Register**
                     of the notice of these final results of administrative review for all shipments of glycine from India entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of publication as provided by section 751(a)(2) of the Act: (1) the cash deposit rate for companies subject to this review will be equal to the company-specific weighted-average dumping margin established in the final results of the review; (2) for merchandise exported by a company not covered in this review but covered in a prior segment of the proceeding, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the company-specific rate published in the completed segment for the most recent period; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this review, a prior review, or the original investigation but the producer is, the cash deposit rate will be the rate established in the completed segment for the most recent period for the producer of the merchandise; (4) the cash deposit rate for all other producers or exporters will continue to be 7.23 percent, the all-others rate established in the investigation of sales at less than fair value, adjusted for the export-subsidy rate in the companion countervailing duty investigation.[9]
                    
                     These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice. Notification to Importers This notice 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 and/or countervailing 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 and/or countervailing duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of double antidumping duties, and/or an increase in the amount of antidumping duties by the amount of the countervailing duties. Administrative Protective Order This notice also serves as the only reminder to parties subject to an administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), which continues to govern business proprietary information in this segment of the proceeding. Timely written notification of the return or destruction of APO materials or conversion to judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to comply with the regulations and the terms of an APO is a sanctionable violation. Notification to Interested Parties We are issuing and publishing these results in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5). Dated: November 6, 2023.
