# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

## Background

                    On March 29, 1995, Commerce published the AD order on glycine from China.[1]                                          On January 3, 2022, Commerce published a notice of initiation of the fifth sunset review of the                     *Order,*                     pursuant to section 751(c)(2) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).[2]                                          On January 10, 2022, Commerce received a timely notice of intent to participate in this sunset review from GEO Specialty Chemicals, Inc. (domestic interested party) within the deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i).[3]                                          The domestic interested party claimed interested party status under section 771(9)(C) of the Act, as a manufacturer of a domestic like product in the United States.                

                    Commerce received a complete substantive response from the domestic interested party within the 30-day deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i).[4]                                          We received no substantive responses from respondent interested parties. As a result, pursuant to section 751(c)(3) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2), Commerce conducted an expedited (120-day) sunset review of the                     *Order.*

## Scope of the Order

                    The merchandise subject to the                     *Order*                     is glycine. These imports are currently classified under subheading 2922.49.4020 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS). The HTSUS subheading is provided for convenience and customs purposes. A full description of the scope of the                     *Order*                     is contained in the Issues and Decision Memorandum.[5]                                          The written                           ( print page 25447)                        description of the scope of the                     *Order*                     is dispositive.                

## Analysis of Comments Received

                    All issues raised in this review are addressed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum, including the likelihood of continuation or recurrence of dumping, and the magnitude of the margins of dumping likely to prevail if this                     *Order*                     were revoked. The Issues and 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).

## Final Results of Sunset Review

                    Pursuant to sections 751(c)(1) and 752(c)(3) of the Act, we determine that revocation of the                     *Order*                     would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping, and that the magnitude of the margins of dumping likely to prevail would be up to 155.89 percent.
