exporters. If the interested party intends

for the Secretary to review sales of

merchandise by an exporter (or a

of entries covered by an order, finding,

or suspended investigation listed in this

notice and for the period identified

above, the Department will instruct the

Customs Service to assess antidumping

or countervailing duties on those entries

at a rate equal to the cash deposit of (or

bond for) estimated antidumping or

countervailing duties required on those

entries at the time of entry, or

withdrawal from warehouse, for

consumption and to continue to collect

the cash deposit previously ordered.

Glycine From the Peoples Republic of

China: Amended Final Results of New

Shipper Administrative Review

AGENCY: Import Administration,

International Trade Administration,

Department of Commerce.

ACTION: Notice of amended final results

in the antidumping duty new shipper

administrative review of glycine from

the People’s Republic of China.

EFFECTIVE DATE: March 5, 2001.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Robert Bolling or Rick Johnson, AD/

CVD Enforcement Group III, Office 9,

(202) 482–3818, respectively.

Scope of the Review

The product covered by this review 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. Glycine is currently classified

under subheading 2922.49.4020 of the

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the

United States (‘‘HTSUS’’). This

proceeding includes glycine of all purity

levels. Although the HTSUS subheading

is provided for convenience and

Customs purposes, the written

description of the scope of this review

is dispositive.

Amendment of Final Results

On January 31, 2001, the Department

of Commerce (the Department)

published the final results of its new

shipper administrative review on

glycine from the People’s Republic of

China (66 FR 8383). This review

covered Nantong Dongchang Chemical

Industry Corp., a new shipper of the

subject merchandise to the United

States. The period of review (POR) is

March 1, 1999 through August 31, 1999.

On February 2, 2001, we received a

submission from Hampshire Chemical

Corporation and Chattem Chemicals

(collectively, ‘‘Petitioners’’) alleging a

clerical error in the final results of this

new shipper administrative review of

the antidumping duty order on glycine

from the People’s Republic of China.

Respondent submitted rebuttal

comments on February 8, 2001. The

allegation and rebuttal comments were

filed in a timely fashion.

Comment 1: Petitioners allege that the

Department committed a ministerial

error in the final results of the new

shipper review. Petitioners state that the

Department used an incorrect factory

overhead surrogate value that was

derived from the financial statement of

Daurala Organics Ltd. Petitioners claim

that the Department used a 21.07

percent factory overhead surrogate

value; however, the correct percentage

is 21.70 percent.

Respondent argues that no clerical

error has occurred and therefore, no

recalculation of the final margin is

necessary. Respondent asserts that

under section 351.224(c) of the

Department’s regulations, comments

concerning ministerial errors made in

the preliminary results are to be

included in an interested parties case

brief. Respondent contends that

petitioners’ alleged error occurred

during the preliminary stage of this

review, and thus petitioners’ comments

are untimely according to Department

regulations and no correction needs to

be made to the factory overhead ratio.

Department’s Position: After a review

of petitioners’ allegation, we agree with

petitioners and have corrected our

calculation worksheet to correct the

factory overhead surrogate value. For

the factory overhead ratio we used to

correct this ministerial error, please see

the Memorandum from Robert A.

Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 43 / Monday, March 5, 2001 / Notices 13285

Bolling to Edward Yang dated February

21, 2001, a public version of which is

available in the Central Records Unit,

Room B–099 of the Department of

Commerce Building, 14th Street and

Constitution Ave, NW., Washington,

DC.

Amended Final Results of New Shipper

Review

As a result of our review and the

correction of the ministerial error

described above, we have determined

that the following margin exists:

GLYCINE

Producer/manufacturer/exporter

Weightedaverage

margin

(percent)

Nantong Dongchang Chemical

Industry Corp ........................ 18.60

The Department shall determine, and

the U.S. Customs Service (‘‘Customs’’)

shall assess, antidumping duties on all

appropriate entries. In accordance with

19 CFR 351.212(b), we have calculated

exporter/importer-specific assessment

rates. We divided the total dumping

margins for the reviewed sales by the

total entered value of those reviewed

sales for each importer. We will direct

Customs to assess the resulting

percentage margin against the entered

Customs values for the subject

merchandise on each of that importer’s

entries under the relevant order during

the review period.

Furthermore, the following deposit

requirements will be effective, upon

publication of this notice of amended

final results of the new shipper review

for all shipments of glycine from the

People’s Republic of China entered, or

withdrawn from warehouse, for

consumption on or after the publication

date, as provided for by section

751(a)(1) of the Act: (1) The cash deposit

rate for the reviewed company will be

the rate shown above; (2) the cash

deposit rate for PRC exporters who

received a separate rate in a prior

segment of the proceeding but for whom

a review was not requested for this POR

will continue to be the rate assigned in

that segment of the proceeding; (3) the

cash deposit rate for the PRC NME

entity (i.e., all other exporters, which

have not been reviewed) will continue

to be 155.89 percent; and (4) the cash

deposit rate for non-PRC exporters of

subject merchandise from the PRC will

be the rate applicable to the PRC

supplier of that exporter.

These deposit requirements shall

remain in effect until publication of the

final results of the next administrative

review.

This notice also 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

review period. Failure to comply with

this requirement could result in the

Secretary’s presumption that

reimbursement of antidumping duties

occurred and in the subsequent

assessment of doubled antidumping

duties.

This notice also serves as the only

reminder to parties subject to

administrative protective orders

(‘‘APO’’) of their responsibility

concerning the return or destruction of

proprietary information disclosed under

APO in accordance with 19 CFR

351.305 or conversion to judicial

protective order is hereby requested.

Failure to comply with the regulations

and terms of an APO is a violation

which is subject to sanctions.

We are issuing and publishing this

determination and notice in accordance

with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the

Act. Effective January 20, 2001, Bernard

T. Carreau is fulfilling the duties of the

Assistant Secretary for Import

Administration.

Dated: February 26, 2001.

Deputy Assistant Secretary, Import

Administration.
