Administrative Review of Glycine from Japan:

3See Memorandum, ‘‘Decision Memorandum for 

Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty 

Administrative Review: Glycine from Japan,’’ dated 

concurrently with, and hereby adopted by, this 

notice (Preliminary Decision Memorandum). 

4As AFA, we preliminarily assign Showa Denko 

a dumping margin of 86.22 percent, the highest rate 

on the record of the proceeding. See Glycine from 

Japan: Final Determination of Sales at Less Than 

Fair Value, 84 FR 18484 (May 1, 2019). This rate 

achieves the purpose of applying an adverse 

inference, i.e., it is sufficiently adverse to ensure 

that the uncooperative party does not obtain a more 

favorable result by failing to cooperate than if it had 

fully cooperated. Because we previously applied 

this rate in the investigation, according to 776(c)(2) 

of the Act, this rate does not require corroboration. 

5As explained in the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum, based on the record information, 

Commerce preliminarily determines that Nagase & 

Co., Ltd. and a non-selected respondent, Yuki Gosei 

Kogyo Co., Ltd., are affiliated within the meaning 

of section 771(33)(E) of the Act and should be 

treated as a single entity pursuant to 19 CFR 

351.401(f) for these preliminary results of review.

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce 

(Commerce) preliminarily determines 

that Yuki Gosei Kogyo Co., Ltd. and 

Nagase & Co., Ltd. (Nagase) 

(collectively, YGK/Nagase) made sales 

of subject merchandise at less than

DATES: Applicable July 8, 2021.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Commerce initiated this review on 

August 6, 2020.1 We selected two 

mandatory respondents in this review, 

Nagase and Showa Denko K.K. (Showa 

Denko). On October 8, 2020, Showa 

Denko withdrew from participation in 

this administrative review.2 For a more 

detailed description of the events that 

followed the initiation of this review, 

see the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum.3

The Preliminary 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 http://access.trade.gov. In addition, a 

complete version of the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum can be accessed 

directly at http://enforcement.trade.gov/ 

frn/index.html. A list of topics 

discussed in the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum is attached as an 

appendix to this notice. 

Scope of the Order 

The merchandise subject to the order 

is glycine. For a complete description of 

the scope of this administrative review, 

see the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum.3

Methodology 

Commerce is conducting this review 

in accordance with section 751(a)(2) of 

the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 

Act). Export price and constructed 

export price are calculated in 

accordance with section 772 of the Act. 

Normal value is calculated in 

accordance with section 773 of the Act. 

For a full description of the 

methodology underlying our 

conclusions, see Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum. 

Facts Available 

Pursuant to section 776(a) of the Act, 

Commerce is preliminarily relying upon 

facts otherwise available to assign an 

estimated weighted-average dumping 

margin to Showa Denko in this review 

because Showa Denko withheld 

necessary information that was 

requested by Commerce, thereby 

significantly impeding the conduct of 

the review. Further, Commerce 

preliminarily determines that Showa 

Denko failed to cooperate by not acting 

to the best of its ability to comply with 

requests for information and, thus, 

Commerce is applying adverse facts 

available (AFA) in determining a 

weighted-average dumping margin for 

Showa Denko, in accordance with 

section 776(b) of the Act. For a full 

description of the methodology 

underlying our conclusions regarding 

the application of AFA, see the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum. 

Preliminary Results of Review 

We preliminarily determine that, for 

the period October 31, 2018, through 

May 31, 2020, the following weightedaverage dumping margins exist: 4

notice.7 Parties who submit case briefs 

or rebuttal briefs in this proceeding are 

encouraged to submit with each 

argument: (1) A statement of the issue; 

(2) a brief summary of the argument; 

and (3) a table of authorities.8

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), 

interested parties who wish to request a 

hearing must submit a written request to 

the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement 

and Compliance, filed electronically via

hearing request must be received 

successfully in its entirety by 

Commerce’s electronic records system, 

ACCESS, by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time 

within 30 days after the date of 

publication of this notice.9

Commerce intends to issue the final 

results of this administrative review, 

including the results of its analysis of 

the issues raised in any written briefs, 

no later than 120 days after the date of 

publication of this notice, unless 

extended, pursuant to section 

751(a)(3)(A) of the Act. 

Assessment Rates 

Upon completion of the final results, 

Commerce shall determine, and U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 

shall assess, antidumping duties on all 

appropriate entries. If the weightedaverage dumping margin for YGK/ 

Nagase is not zero or de minimis in the 

final results of this review, we will 

calculate, for each company, an 

importer-specific assessment rate on the 

basis of the ratio of the total amount of 

dumping calculated for each importer’s 

examined sales and the total entered 

value of such sales, in accordance with 

19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).10 If any of these 

companies’ weighted-average dumping 

margin is zero or de minimis in the final 

results of review, or if an importerspecific assessment rate for one of these 

companies is zero or de minimis, 

Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate 

appropriate entries without regards to 

antidumping duties.11 For entries of 

subject merchandise during the POR 

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 

unreviewed entries.12

Consistent with its recent notice,13

Commerce intends to issue assessment 

instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 

days after the date of publication of the 

final results of this 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 of the final results of this 

administrative review for all shipments 

of the subject merchandise entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after the publication 

date of the final results of this 

administrative review, as provided by 

section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) The 

cash deposit rate for YGK/Nagase and 

Showa Denko listed above will be equal 

to the weighted-average dumping 

margin established in the final results of 

this administrative review; (2) for 

previously reviewed or investigated 

companies not listed above, the cash 

deposit rate will continue to be the 

company-specific rate published for the 

most recently completed segment of this 

proceeding in which they were 

reviewed; (3) if the exporter is not a firm 

covered in this review, a prior review, 

or in the investigation but the producer 

is, the cash deposit rate will be the rate 

established for the most recently 

completed segment of this proceeding 

for the producer of the merchandise; 

and (4) the cash deposit rate for all other 

producers or exporters will continue to 

be the all-others rate of 53.66 percent, 

the rate established in the less-than-fairvalue investigation.14 These cash 

deposit requirements, when imposed, 

shall remain in effect until further 

notice. 

Notification to Importers 

This notice also serves as a 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 Commerce’s presumption that 

reimbursement of antidumping duties 

occurred and the subsequent assessment 

of double antidumping duties. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

We are issuing and publishing this 

notice in accordance with sections 

751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act. 

Dated: June 30, 2021.

Acting Assistant Secretary for Enforcement 

and Compliance.
