China: Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty 

Administrative Review; 2012–2013, 78 FR 78331 

(December 26, 2013) (Preliminary Results). 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of 

Commerce’s Bureau of the Census 

(Census Bureau) publishes this notice to 

announce that the Director of the 

Census Bureau has determined the need 

to conduct the 2014 Annual Retail 

Trade Survey (ARTS). ARTS covers 

employer firms with establishments 

located in the United States and 

classified in the Retail Trade and/or 

Accommodation and Food Services 

sectors as defined by the 2007 North 

American Industry Classification 

System (NAICS). The Census Bureau 

conducts the ARTS to provide 

continuing and timely national 

statistical data on retail trade, and 

accommodation and food services 

activity annually. 

ADDRESSES: The Census Bureau will 

provide report forms to businesses 

included in the survey. Additional 

copies are available upon written 

request to the Director, U.S. Census 

Bureau, Washington, DC 20233–0101. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Chris Savage, Economy Wide Division, 

at (301) 763–4834 or by email at 

john.c.savage@census.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Sections 

182, 224, and 225 of Title 13 of the 

United States Code (U.S.C.) authorize 

the Census Bureau to take surveys that 

are necessary to produce current data on 

the subjects covered by the major 

censuses. As part of this authorization, 

the Census Bureau conducts the ARTS 

to provide continuing and timely 

national statistical data on retail trade, 

and accommodation and food services 

activity for the period between 

economic censuses. ARTS is a 

continuation of similar retail trade 

surveys conducted each year since 1951 

(except 1954). ARTS covers employer 

firms with establishments located in the 

United States and classified in the Retail 

Trade and/or Accommodation and Food 

Services sectors as defined by the 2007 

North American Industry Classification 

System (NAICS). ARTS provides, on a 

comparable classification basis, annual 

sales, annual e-commerce sales, yearend inventories held inside and outside 

the United States, total operating 

expenses, purchases, accounts 

receivables, and, for selected industries, 

merchandise line sales for 2014. The 

Census Bureau has determined that the 

conduct of this survey is necessary 

because these data are not available 

publicly on a timely basis from any 

other sources. 

Firms are selected for the ARTS 

survey using a stratified random sample 

based on industry groupings and annual 

sales size. We will provide report forms 

to the firms covered by this survey in 

February 2015, and will require their 

responses within 50 days after receipt. 

Firms’ responses to the ARTS survey are 

required by law (13 U.S.C. 182, 224, and 

225). The sample of firms selected will 

provide, with measurable reliability, 

statistics on the transactions relevant to 

this survey for 2014. 

The data collected in this survey will 

be similar to that collected in the past, 

and within the general scope and nature 

of those inquiries covered in the 

economic census. These data are 

collected to provide a sound statistical 

basis for the formation of policy by 

various government agencies. Results 

will be available for use for a variety of 

public and business needs including 

economic and market analysis, company 

performance, and forecasting future 

demand. 

Notwithstanding any other provision 

of law, no person is required to respond 

to, nor shall a person be subject to a 

penalty for failure to comply with, a 

collection of information subject to the 

requirements of the Paperwork 

Reduction Act (PRA), 44 U.S.C. 3501– 

3521, unless that collection of 

information displays a current valid 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) control number. In accordance 

with the PRA, OMB has approved the 

Annual Retail Trade Survey under OMB 

Control Number 0607–0013. 

Based upon the foregoing, I have 

directed that an annual survey be 

conducted for the purpose of collecting 

these data. 

Dated: October 24, 2014.

Duty Administrative Review; 2012– 

2013 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance,

Department of Commerce. 

DATES: Effective Date: October 31, 2014. 

SUMMARY: On December 26, 2013, the 

Department of Commerce (the 

Department) published the preliminary 

results of the administrative review of 

the antidumping duty order on glycine 

from the People’s Republic of China 

(PRC) in the Federal Register.1 The 

review covers the period from March 1, 

2012, through February 28, 2013. In the 

Preliminary Results, the Department 

preliminarily applied facts otherwise 

available with an adverse inference to 

the PRC-wide entity because an element 

of the entity, Hebei Donghua Jiheng Fine 

Chemical Co., Ltd. (Donghua Fine 

Chemical), failed to act to the best of its 

ability in complying with the 

Department’s request for information 

and, consequently, significantly 

impeded the proceeding. The 

Department gave interested parties an 

opportunity to comment on the 

Preliminary Results and, based on an 

analysis of the comments received, we 

found that no changes were warranted 

to these final results of review. 

However, based on further review of the 

record, we found that some companies 

did not have any reviewable entries of 

subject merchandise during the review 

period. The final weighted-average 

dumping margin for the review is listed 

below in the ‘‘Final Results of Review’’ 

section of this notice.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On December 26, 2013, the 

Department published the Preliminary 

Results for this review, which covers the 

period from March 1, 2012, through 

February 28, 2013.2 In the Preliminary 

Results, we invited interested parties to 

comment on our findings and to request 

a hearing to discuss any issues raised in 

case and rebuttal briefs. Timely 

comments were received from the sole 

respondent in the review, Donghua Fine 

Chemical, the domestic interested party, 

GEO Specialty Chemicals, Inc., and two 

other interested parties, Evonik Rexim 

(Nanning) Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. 

(Evonik), and Paras Intermediates Pvt. 

Ltd (Paras). GEO and Paras also 

submitted timely rebuttal comments. 

Donghua Fine Chemical and Evonik 

requested a public hearing to discuss 

briefed issues and a hearing was held on 

March 12, 2014. 

On July 23, 2014, we extended the 

issuance of the final results of review 

until October 22, 2014.3

Scope of the Order 

The product covered by this 

antidumping duty order 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. This proceeding 

includes glycine of all purity levels. 

Glycine is currently classified under 

subheading 2922.49.4020 of the 

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States (HTSUS). In a separate 

scope ruling, the Department 

determined that D(-) Phenylglycine 

Ethyl Dane Salt is outside the scope of 

the order.4 Although the HTSUS 

subheading is provided for convenience 

and customs purposes, the written 

description of the merchandise under 

the order is dispositive. 

Determination of No Shipments 

We received timely-filed ‘‘noshipment’’ certifications from eight 

companies named in the notice of 

initiation and, in each certification, the 

company stated that it had no entries of 

subject merchandise during the period 

of review. These companies were: (1) 

AICO Laboratories India Ltd. (AICO), (2) 

Avid Organics, (3) Aqua Bond Inc., (4) 

Gurvey & Berry Co., (5) H.T. Griffin 

Food Ingredients, (6) Paras 

Intermediates Pvt. Ltd., (7) Unipex 

Solutions Canada Inc., and (8) Yuki 

Gosei Kogyo Co. We confirmed these 

companies had no entries in the data 

that we obtained from U.S. Customs and 

Border Protection (CBP) covering the 

period of review.5 Consistent with our 

practice 6 and based on the no-shipment 

certifications and the CBP data, we 

determine that these companies did not 

have any reviewable entries of subject 

merchandise during the review period 

and, accordingly, we will issue 

instructions that are consistent with our 

‘‘automatic assessment’’’ clarification 

for these final results.7 For these 

companies, the cash deposit 

requirements will remain unchanged. 

Analysis of Comments Received 

All issues raised in the case and 

rebuttal briefs by interested parties are 

addressed in the issues and decision 

memorandum, accompanying this 

notice, which is hereby adopted by this 

notice.8 A list of the issues which the 

parties raised and to which the 

Department responded in the 

memorandum appears in the appendix 

of this notice. 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 (IA ACCESS). 

IA ACCESS is available to registered 

users at http://iaaccess.trade.gov and is 

available to all parties in the Central 

Records Unit, room 7046 of the main 

Department of Commerce building. In 

addition, a complete version of the 

Issues and Decision Memorandum can 

be accessed directly at http://

enforcement.trade.gov/frn/. The signed 

and electronic versions of the 

memorandum are identical in content. 

Changes Since the Preliminary Results 

We made no changes to the 

Preliminary Results based on our 

analysis of the comments received from 

parties. However, based on our review 

of the record, including the review of 

the no-shipment determinations and 

CBP data described above, we have 

found that eight companies had no 

reviewable entries of subject 

merchandise during the period of 

review. 

Final Determination as to the PRC-wide 

Entity 

As detailed in the decision 

memorandum accompanying the 

Preliminary Results,9 the Department 

found that, because Donghua Fine 

Chemical had not qualified for a 

separate rate in a prior segment of the 

proceeding and had not filed the 

requisite application in this review, it 

was part of the PRC-wide entity. The 

Department then preliminarily 

determined that it had to rely on facts 

otherwise available to assign a dumping 

margin to the PRC-wide entity in 

accordance with sections 776(a)(1), 

(2)(A), (B) and (C) of the Tariff Act of 

1930, as amended (the Act), because 

necessary information was not on the 

record, the PRC-wide entity (including 

Donghua Fine Chemical) had withheld 

information that was requested within 

the established deadline, and, by not 

providing requested information, the 

entity had significantly impeded the 

proceeding. We further preliminarily 

found that Donghua Fine Chemical’s 

failure to provide the requested 

information constituted circumstances

64748 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 211 / Friday, October 31, 2014 / Notices 

11See 19 CFR 351.212(b). 

under which the company and, hence, 

the PRC-wide entity, had not acted to 

the best of its ability to comply with the 

Department’s request for information. 

We therefore preliminarily determined, 

pursuant to section 776(b) of the Act, 

that the PRC-wide entity failed to 

cooperate by not acting to the best of its 

ability and that, accordingly, when 

selecting from among the facts 

otherwise available, an adverse 

inference was warranted with respect to 

the PRC-wide entity. 

The Department also stated its intent 

in the Preliminary Results not to rescind 

the review for 40 exporters because 

these companies had been named in the 

initiation notice for the review, were 

then withdrawn from consideration of 

individual review because of the 

submission of timely withdrawals of 

requests for review by GEO, and do not 

have separate rates from a completed 

segment of the proceeding. We thus 

found all of the companies to be part of 

the PRC-wide entity under review. 

However, in light of our no-shipment 

determinations, only the following 

companies remain in this category: (1) 

A&A Pharmachem Inc., (2) Amol 

Pharmaceuticals Pvt. Ltd., (3) Baoding 

Mantong Fine Chemistry Co., Ltd., (4) 

Beijing Onlystar Technology Co., Ltd., 

(5) Chiyuen International Trading Ltd., 

(6) China Jiangsu International 

Economic Technical Cooperation 

Corporation, (7) E-Heng Import and 

Export Co., Ltd., (8) Evonik Rexim 

(Nanning) Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., (9) 

FarmaSino Pharmaceuticals (Jiangsu) 

Co., Ltd., (10) General Ingredient Inc., 

(11) Gulbrandsen Technologies (India), 

(12) Hong Kong United Biochemistry 

Co. Ltd., (13) Jiangsu Dongchang 

Chemical, (14) Jiangxi Ansun Chemical 

Technology, (15) Jiangyin Trust 

International Inc., (16) Jizhou City 

Huayang Chemical Co., Ltd., (17) 

Kissner Milling Co. Ltd., (18) NALCO 

Canada Co., (19) Ningbo Create-Bio 

Engineering Co. Ltd., (20) Ningbo 

Generic Chemical Co., (21) Qingdao 

Samin Chemical Co., Ltd., (22) Ravi 

Industries, (23) Salvi Chemical 

Industries, (24) Shanpar Industries Pvt. 

Ltd., (25) Showa Denko K.K., (26) 

Shijiazhuang Jackchem Co., Ltd., (27) 

Shijiazhuang Zexing Amino Acid Co., 

(28) Tianjin Garments Import & Export, 

(29) Tianjin Tiancheng Pharmaceutical 

Company, (30) Tianjin Tianen 

Enterprise Co. Ltd., (31) Tywoon 

Development (China) Co., Ltd., and (32) 

XPAC Technologies Inc. 

The Department found no basis to 

make changes to the Preliminary Results 

based on our analysis of the comments 

received by parties on those results. 

Therefore, for these final results, the 

Department finds that Donghua Fine 

Chemical and the 32 exporters named in 

this section are part of the PRC-wide 

entity and that the use of adverse facts 

available is warranted with respect to 

the PRC-wide entity. 

Final Results of Review 

The Department determines that the 

following percentage weighted-average 

dumping margin exists for the period 

March 1, 2012, through February 28, 

2013: 

Exporter Dumping margin 

(percent) 

PRC-wide entity (including Hebei Donghua Jiheng Fine Chemical Co., Ltd.) 10 .......................................................................... 453.79 

10As noted immediately above, the PRC-wide entity also includes the 32 exporters we are not rescinding from the review. 

Disclosure 

Normally, the Department discloses to 

interested parties the calculations 

performed in connection with a final 

determination within five days of the 

date of publication of the notice of the 

final determination in the Federal 

Register, in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.224(b). But because the Department 

applied adverse facts available to 

determine the estimated weightedaverage dumping margin for the 

mandatory respondent in this 

investigation, there are no calculations 

to disclose to parties. 

Assessment Rates 

The Department determined, and the 

U.S. Customs and Border Protection 

(CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties 

on all appropriate entries of subject 

merchandise in accordance with the 

final results of this review.11 The 

Department intends to issue assessment 

instructions to CBP 15 days after the 

date of publication of these final results 

of review. 

For the PRC-wide entity, the 

Department will instruct CBP to assess 

antidumping duties on entries of subject 

merchandise at the PRC-wide rate of 

453.79 percent. For companies we 

found to have no reviewable entries in 

this review period, we will instruct CBP 

to assess duties on entries of subject 

merchandise consistent with our 

‘‘automatic assessment’’ clarification for 

these final results. 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following cash-deposit 

requirements will be effective for all 

shipments of subject merchandise 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after the 

publication date of this notice of final 

results of the administrative review, as 

provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the 

Act: (1) For any previously investigated 

or reviewed PRC and non-PRC exporters 

which are not under review in this 

segment of the proceeding that received 

a separate rate in a previous segment of 

this proceeding, the cash-deposit rate 

will continue to be the exporter-specific 

rate published for the most recentlycompleted period; (2) for all PRC 

exporters of subject merchandise which 

have not been found to be entitled to a 

separate rate, including Donghua Fine 

Chemical, the cash-deposit rate will be 

that for the PRC-wide entity (i.e., 453.79 

percent); and (3) for all non-PRC 

exporters of subject merchandise which 

have not received their own rate, the 

cash-deposit rate will be the rate 

applicable to the PRC exporter(s) that 

supplied the non-PRC exporter. These 

cash-deposit requirements, when 

imposed, shall remain in effect until 

further notice. 

Notification to Importers 

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 period of review. Failure to 

comply with this requirement could 

result in the Department’s presumption 

that reimbursement of antidumping 

duties occurred and the subsequent 

assessment of double antidumping 

duties. 

Administrative Protective Order 

This notice also 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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The antidumping duty order on 

freshwater crawfish tail meat from the 

PRC published in the Federal Register 

on September 15, 1997.1 Pursuant to 

section 751(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Tariff Act 

of 1930, as amended (the Act), we 

received three timely requests for new 

shipper reviews of the Order from 

Wuhan Coland Aquatic Products and 

Food Co., Ltd. (Coland), Weishan 

Hongda Aquatic Food Co., Ltd. 

(Hongda), and Hubei Yuesheng Aquatic 

Products Co., Ltd. (Hubei Yuesheng).2

Each new shipper review applicant 

certified that it is both the producer and 

exporter of the subject merchandise 

upon which its request was based.3

Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(B)(i)(I) of 

the Act and 19 CFR 351.214(b)(2)(i), 

each new shipper applicant certified 

that it did not export subject 

merchandise to the United States during 

the period of investigation (POI).4 In 

addition, pursuant to section 

751(a)(2)(B)(i)(II) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.214(b)(2)(iii)(A), each new shipper 

applicant certified that, since the 

initiation of the investigation, it has 

never been affiliated with any exporter 

or producer who exported subject 

merchandise to the United States during 

the POI, including those respondents 

not individually examined during the 

POI.5 As required by 19 CFR 

351.214(b)(2)(iii)(B), each new shipper 

applicant also certified that its export 

activities were not controlled by the 

government of the PRC.6

In addition to the certifications 

described above, pursuant to 19 CFR 

351.214(b)(2), each new shipper 

applicant submitted documentation 

establishing the following: (1) The date 

on which it first shipped subject 

merchandise for export to the United 

States; (2) the volume of its first 

shipment; and (3) the date of its first 

sale to an unaffiliated customer in the 

United States.7

Period of Review 

In accordance with 19 CFR 

351.214(g)(1)(A), the period of review 

(POR) for new shipper reviews initiated 

in the month immediately following the 

anniversary month will be the twelvemonth period immediately preceding 

the anniversary month. Therefore, under 

the Order, the POR is September 1, 

2013, through August 31, 2014. 

Initiation of New Shipper Reviews 

Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(B) of the 

Act and 19 CFR 351.214(d)(1), the 

Department finds that the request from 

each new shipper applicant meets 

threshold requirements for the initiation 

of a new shipper review of shipments of 

freshwater crawfish tail meat from the 

PRC produced and exported by each 

new shipper applicant.8

The Department intends to issue the 

preliminary results of these new shipper 

reviews no later than 180 days from the 

date of initiation and the final results of 

the review no later than 90 days after 

the date the preliminary results are 

issued.9 It is the Department’s usual 

practice, in cases involving non-market 

economy countries, to require that a 

company seeking to establish eligibility 

for an antidumping duty rate separate 

from the country-wide rate provide 

evidence of de jure and de facto absence 

of government control over the 

company’s export activities. 

Accordingly, we will issue a 

questionnaire to each new shipper 

applicant which will include a section 

requesting information concerning its 

eligibility for a separate rate. The new 

shipper review of each new shipper 

applicant will be rescinded if the 

Department determines that each new 

shipper applicant has not demonstrated 

that it is eligible for a separate rate. In 

addition, the Department has concerns 

with certain information contained in 

entry data that the Department obtained 

from U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection (CBP). Due to the business 

proprietary nature of this information, 

please refer to the Initiation Checklists 

for further discussion. The Department 

intends to address these concerns after 

initiation of the new shipper reviews. If
