SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On March 29, 1995, the Department 

published in the Federal Register an 

antidumping duty order on glycine from 

the PRC. See Antidumping Duty Order: 

Glycine from the People’s Republic of 

China, 60 FR 16116 (March 29, 1995). 

On March 3, 2008, the Department 

published a notice of ‘‘Opportunity to 

Request an Administrative Review’’ of 

the antidumping duty order for the 

March 1, 2007, through February 29, 

2008 POR. See Antidumping or 

Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or 

Suspended Investigation; Opportunity 

To Request Administrative Review, 73 

FR 11389 (March 3, 2008). On March 28, 

2008, petitioner requested that the 

Department conduct an administrative 

review of sales of merchandise by the 

following 24 companies: A.H.A. 

International Company, Ltd.; Amol 

Biotech Limited; Antai Bio–Tech Co. 

Limited; Baoding Mantong Fine 

Chemistry Co., Ltd.; Beijing Jian Li 

Pharmaceutical Company; Degussa 

Rexim (Nanning); Du–Hope 

International Group; Hua Yip Company 

Inc.; Hubei Guangji Pharmaceutical Co.; 

Huzhou New Century International 

Trade Co.; Jizhou City Huayang 

Chemical Company, Ltd.; Jiangxi Ansun

Dongchang Chemical Industry Corp.; 

Nantong Weifu Foreign Trade Co., Ltd.; 

Pudong Trans USA, Inc.; Qingdao

Everich Imp. & Exp. Co., Ltd.; Taigene 

Global Enterprises Ltd.; Tianjin 

Tiancheng Pharmaceutical Co.; and 

Wenda Co., Ltd. In response to this 

request, the Department published the 

initiation of the antidumping duty 

administrative review on glycine from 

the PRC on April 25, 2008. See 

Initiation of Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Administrative 

Reviews and Request for Revocation in 

Part, 73 FR 22337 (April 25, 2008). 

On July 21, 2008, petitioner timely 

withdrew its request for review for all 

companies except Baoding Mantong 

Fine Chemistry Co., Ltd. (‘‘Baoding’’) 

and Nantong Dongchang Chemical 

Industry Corp. (‘‘Nantong’’). 

Partial Rescission of the Administrative 

Review 

Pursuant to 19 CFR § 351.213(d)(1), 

the Secretary will rescind an 

administrative review under this 

section, in whole or in part, if a party 

that requested a review withdraws the 

request within 90 days of the date of 

publication of notice of initiation of the 

requested review. The Secretary may 

extend this time limit if the Secretary 

decides that it is reasonable to do so. 

See 19 CFR § 351.213(d)(1). Petitioner 

withdrew its requests for review for all 

companies except Baoding and Nantong 

within the 90-day time limit. No other 

company had requested a review of 

these companies. Therefore, in response 

to the withdrawal of requests for 

administrative reviews by petitioner, the 

Department hereby rescinds the 

administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order on glycine from 

the PRC for the period March 1, 2007, 

through February 29, 2008, for A.H.A. 

International Company, Ltd.; Amol 

Biotech Limited; Antai Bio–Tech Co. 

Limited; Beijing Jian Li Pharmaceutical 

Coompany; Degussa Rexim (Nanning); 

Du–Hope International Group; Hua Yip 

Company Inc.; Hubei Guangji 

Pharmaceutical Co.; Huzhou New 

Century International Trade Co.; Jizhou 

City Huayang Chemical Company, Ltd.; 

Jiangxi Ansun Chemical Technology; 

Nantong Weifu Foreign Trade Co., Ltd.; 

Pudong Trans USA, Inc.; Qingdao 

Samin Chemical Company, Ltd.; Santec 

Chemicals Corporation; Schenker China 

Ltd.; Shanghai Freemen Lifescience Co., 

Ltd.; Sinosweet Co., Ltd.; Suzhou 

Everich Imp. & Exp. Co., Ltd.; Taigene 

Global Enterprises Ltd.; Tianjin 

Tiancheng Pharmaceutical Co.; and 

Wenda Co., Ltd. Because those 

companies for which we are rescinding 

this review do not have separate rates at 

this time (and thus remain part of the 

PRC–wide entity), the Department will 

issue assessment instructions upon the 

completion of this administrative 

review. 

This notice serves as a reminder to 

parties subject to administrative 

protective order (‘‘APO’’) of their 

responsibility concerning the 

disposition of proprietary information 

disclosed under APO in accordance 

with 19 CFR § 351.305(a)(3). Timely 

written notification of the return or 

destruction of APO materials or 

conversion to judicial protective order is 

hereby requested. Failure to comply 

with the regulations and terms of an 

APO is a sanctionable violation. 

This notice is published in 

accordance with section 777(i)(1) of the 

Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19 

CFR § 351.213(d)(4). 

Dated: August 25, 2008. 

Stephen J. Claeys, 

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import 

Administration.
