Epoxy resins may contain modifiers or 

additives, such as hardeners, curatives, 

colorants, pigments, diluents, solvents, 

thickeners, fillers, plasticizers, softeners, 

flame retardants, toughening agents, 

catalysts, Bisphenol F, and ultraviolet light 

inhibitors, so long as the modifier or additive 

has not chemically reacted so as to cure the 

epoxy resin or convert it into a different 

product no longer containing epoxy groups. 

Such epoxy resins with modifiers or 

additives are included in the scope where the 

epoxy resin component comprises no less 

than 30 percent of the total weight of the 

product. The scope also includes blends of 

epoxy resins with different types of epoxy 

resins, with or without the inclusion of 

modifiers and additives, so long as the 

combined epoxy resin component comprises 

at least 30 percent of the total weight of the 

blend. 

Epoxy resins that enter as part of a system 

or kit with separately packaged co-reactants, 

such as hardeners or curing agents, are 

within the scope. The scope does not include 

any separately packaged co-reactants that 

would not fall within the scope if entered on 

their own. 

The scope includes merchandise matching 

the above description that has been 

processed in a third country, including by 

commingling, diluting, introducing, or 

removing modifiers or additives, or 

performing any other processing that would 

not otherwise remove the merchandise from 

the scope of the investigation if performed in 

the subject country. 

The scope also includes epoxy resin that is 

commingled or blended with epoxy resin 

from sources not subject to this investigation. 

Only the subject component of such 

commingled products is covered by the scope 

of this investigation. 

Excluded from the scope are phenoxy 

resins, which are polymers with a weight 

greater than 11,000 Daltons, a Melt Flow 

Index (MFI) at 200 °C (392 °F) no less than 4 

grams and no greater than 70 grams per 10 

min, Glass-Transition Temperatures (Tg) no 

less than 80 °C (176 °F) and no greater than 

100 °C (212 °F), and which contain no epoxy 

groups other than at the terminal ends of the 

molecule. 

Excluded from the scope are certain paint 

and coating products, which are blends, 

mixtures, or other formulations of epoxy 

resin, curing agent, and pigment, in any form, 

packaged in one or more containers, wherein 

(1) the pigment represents a minimum of 10 

percent of the total weight of the product, (2) 

the epoxy resin represents a maximum of 80 

percent of the total weight of the product, 

and (3) the curing agent represents 5 to 40 

percent of the total weight of the product. 

Excluded from the scope are 

preimpregnated fabrics or fibers, often 

referred to as ‘‘pre-pregs,’’ which are 

composite materials consisting of fabrics or 

fibers (typically carbon or glass) impregnated 

with epoxy resin. 

This merchandise is currently classifiable

Glycine From India and the People’s 

Republic of China: Final Results of the 

Expedited First Sunset Reviews of the 

Countervailing Duty Orders 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of 

Commerce (Commerce) finds that 

revocation of the countervailing duty 

orders on glycine from India and the 

People’s Republic of China (China) 

would be likely to lead to continuation 

or recurrence of countervailable 

subsidies at the levels as indicated in 

the ‘‘Final Results of Sunset Reviews’’ 

section of this notice. 

DATES: Applicable September 13, 2024.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On June 21, 2019, Commerce 

published the Orders in the Federal 

Register.1 On May 1, 2024, Commerce 

published the notice of initiation of the 

first sunset reviews of the Orders, 

pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff 

Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).2 On 

May 13, 2024, Commerce received a 

timely notice of intent to participate in 

the sunset reviews of both Orders from 

Deer Park Glycine and Chattem 

Chemicals, Inc. (collectively, domestic 

interested parties) within the 15-day 

deadline specified in 19 CFR 

351.218(d)(1)(i).3 Each claimed 

interested party status under section 

771(9)(C) of the Act as a domestic 

producer engaged in the production in 

the United States of glycine. 

On May 20, 2024, Commerce received 

adequate substantive responses from the 

domestic interested parties within the 

30-day deadline specified in 19 CFR 

351.218(d)(3)(i).4 Commerce did not 

receive a substantive response from any 

other interested party in these 

proceedings, and no party requested a 

hearing. In accordance with section 

751(c)(3)(B) of the Act, because 

Commerce did not receive a substantive 

response from any respondent party, 

pursuant to 19 CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(B) 

and (e)(1)(ii)(C), respectively, 

respectively, we determined that the 

respondent interested parties did not 

provide an adequate response to the 

Initiation Notice. Therefore, on July 21, 

2024, Commerce notified the U.S. 

International Trade Commission that it 

did not receive an adequate substantive 

response from respondent interested 

parties at that it would conduct 

expedited (120-day) sunset reviews of 

the Orders, pursuant to section 

751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2).5 On July 22, 

2024, Commerce tolled certain 

deadlines in these administrative 

proceedings by seven days.6 The 

deadline for the final results of these 

sunset reviews is now September 5, 

2024. 

Scope of the Orders 

The product covered by these Orders 

is glycine at any purity level or grade 

from India and China. For a complete 

description of the scope of these Orders, 

see the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum.7
