 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*
