1The record is defined in § 207.2(f) of the

Commission’s rules of practice and procedure (19

CFR 207.2(f)).

2The product covered by this investigation is

glycine which is a free-flowing crystalline material,

like salt or sugar. Glycine is produced at varying

levels of purity and is used as a sweetener/taste

enhancer, a buffering agent, reabsorbable amino

acid, chemical intermediate, and a metal

complexing agent. The scope of this investigation

includes glycine of all purity levels.

3Commissioner Crawford and Commissioner

Bragg determine that an industry in the United

States is materially injured by reason of imports of

glycine from China that Commerce has found to be

sold in the United States at LTFV.

1A stay will be issued routinely by the

Commission in those proceedings where an

informed decision on environmental issues

(whether raised by a party or by the Commission’s

Section of Environmental Analysis in its

independent investigation) cannot be made before

the effective date of the notice of exemption. See

Exemption of Out-of-Service Rail Lines, 5 I.C.C.2d

377 (1989). Any entity seeking a stay on

environmental concerns is encouraged to file its

request as soon as possible in order to permit the

Commission to review and act on the request before

the effective date of this exemption.

2See Exempt. of Rail Abandonment—Offers of

Finan. Assist., 4 I.C.C.2d 164 (1987).

request as long as it retains jurisdiction to do so.

proper identification.

China

Determination

On the basis of the record 1 developed

in the subject investigation, the

Commission determines, pursuant to

section 735(b) of the Tariff Act of 1930

(19 U.S.C. 1673d(b)) (the Act), that an

industry in the United States is

threatened with material injury by

reason of imports from the People’s

Republic of China (China) of glycine,2

provided for in subheading 2922.49.40

of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of

the United States, that have been found

by the Department of Commerce

(Commerce) to be sold in the United

States at less than fair value (LTFV).3

Background

The Commission instituted this

investigation effective November 15,

1994, following a preliminary

determination by Commerce that

imports of glycine from China were

being sold at LTFV within the meaning

of section 733(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C.

1673b(b)). Notice of the institution of

the Commission’s investigation and of a

public hearing to be held in connection

therewith was given by posting copies

of the notice in the Office of the

Secretary, U.S. International Trade

Commission, Washington, DC, and by

publishing the notice in the Federal

Register of December 8, 1994 (59 FR

63378). The hearing was held in

Washington, DC, on February 9, 1995,

and all persons who requested the

opportunity were permitted to appear in

person or by counsel.

The Commission transmitted its

determination in this investigation to

the Secretary of Commerce on March 14,

1995. The views of the Commission are

contained in USITC Publication 2863

(March 1995), entitled ‘‘Glycine from

the People’s Republic of China:

Investigation No. 731–TA–718 (Final).’’

Issued: March 15, 1995.

CSXT has certified that: (1) No local

traffic has moved over the line for at

least 2 years; (2) no overhead traffic has

moved over the line; (3) no formal

complaint filed by a user of rail service

on the line (or by a state or local

As a condition to use of this

exemption, any employee adversely

affected by the abandonment shall be

protected under Oregon Short Line R.

Co.—Abandonment—Goshen, 360 I.C.C.

91 (1979). To address whether this

condition adequately protects affected

employees, a petition for partial

revocation under 49 U.S.C. 10505(d)

must be filed.

Provided no formal expression of

intent to file an offer of financial

assistance (OFA) has been received, this

not involve environmental issues,1

report which addresses the

abandonment’s effects, if any, on the

environment and historic resources. The

Section of Environmental Analysis

and historic preservation matters must

be filed within 15 days after the EA is

available to the public.

Environmental, historic preservation,

public use, or trail use/rail banking

conditions will be imposed, where

appropriate, in a subsequent decision.

Decided: March 14, 1995.
