## Background

                    On June 21, 2019, Commerce published in the                     **Federal Register**                     the AD orders on glycine from India and Japan and subsequently published the AD order for the same product from Thailand on October 18, 2019.[1]                                          On May                           ( print page 74207)                        1, 2024, Commerce published the notice of initiation of the first sunset reviews of the                     *Orders,*                     pursuant to section 751(c)(2) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).[2] 

                    On May 13, 2024, Commerce received notices of intent to participate in these reviews from Deer Park Glycine, LLC of Deer Park, Texas, which is a subsidiary of GEO Specialty Chemicals, Inc., and Chattem Chemicals, Inc. of Chattanooga, Tennessee (collectively, the domestic interested parties), within the deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)).[3]                                          The domestic interested parties claimed interested party status under section 771(9)(C) of the Act as producers of the domestic like product in the United States.[4]                                          In May, 2024, Commerce received adequate substantive responses from the domestic industry parties within the 30-day deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i).[5]                                          We received no substantive responses from respondent interested parties.                

                    On June 21, 2024, Commerce notified the U.S. International Trade Commission that it did not receive substantive responses from any respondent interested parties.[6]                                          As a result, pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2), Commerce conducted expedited (120-day) sunset reviews of the                     *Orders.*

                    On July 22, 2024, Commerce tolled certain deadlines in these administrative proceedings by seven days.[7]                                          The deadline for these final results of sunset reviews is September 5, 2024.                

## Scope of the Orders

                    The products covered by these                     *Orders*                     are glycine from India, Japan, and Thailand. For a full description of the scope of the                     *Orders, see*                     the Issues and Decision.[8]

## Final Results of Sunset Reviews

                    Pursuant to sections 751(c)(1) and 752(c)(1) and (3) of the Act, Commerce determines that revocation of the                     *Orders*                     would likely lead to the continuation or recurrence of dumping and that the magnitude of the dumping margins likely to prevail would be weighed-average dumping margins up to 13.61 percent for India, 86.22 percent for Japan, and 227.17 percent for Thailand.[10]
