Department of Commerce (``the Department'') published in the Federal

AD/CVD Operations, Office 7, Import Administration, International Trade 
Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and 
Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-
3362 or (202) 482-3019, respectively.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The Department received a timely request from Jiangxi Ansun in 
accordance with section 751(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 
amended (``the Act''), and 19 CFR 351.214(c), for a new shipper review 
of the antidumping duty order on glycine from PRC. On October 28, 2008, 
the Department found that the request for review with respect to 
Jiangxi Ansun met all of the regulatory requirements set forth in 19 
CFR 351.214(b) and initiated an antidumping duty new shipper review. 
See Glycine from China: Initiation of Antidumping Duty New Shipper 
Review, 73 FR 65584 (November 4, 2008) (Initiation Notice). On February 
23, 2009, Jiangxi Ansun withdrew its request for a new shipper review.

Rescission of New Shipper Review

    Section 351.214(f)(1) of the Department's regulations provides that 
the Department may rescind a new shipper review if the party that 
requested the review withdraws its request for review within 60 days of 
the date of publication of the notice of initiation of the requested 
review. Although Jiangxi Ansun withdrew its request after the 60-day 
deadline, we find it reasonable to extend the deadline because we have 
not yet committed significant resources to the Jiangxi Ansun new 
shipper review, (e.g., we have not issued our preliminary results). 
Further, we have received a letter from the petitioner GEO Specialty 
Chemicals Inc., noting that it has no objection to Jiangxi Ausun's 
withdrawal request for this new shipper review. See Letter from GEO 
Specialty Chemicals, Inc, dated March 3, 2009. Based upon the above, we 
are rescinding the new shipper review of the antidumping duty order on 
glycine from PRC with respect to Jiangxi Ansun.

Notifications

    We intend to instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (``CBP'') 
15 days from the date of publication of the notice to liquidate any 
entries by Jiangxi Ansun during the period of review at the cash 
deposit rate in effect at the time of entry.
    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 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 antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent 
assessment of double antidumping duties.
    This notice also serves as the only reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective orders (``APO'') of their responsibility 
concerning the return or destructions of proprietary information 
disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a). Timely 
written notification of the return/destruction of APO materials or 
convesion to judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to 
comply with the regulations and terms of an APO is a violation which is 
subjet to sanction.
    We are issuing and publishing this determination and notice in 
accordance with section 777(i) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.214(f)(3).

    Dated: April 10, 2009.
John M. Andersen,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Operations.
