SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On June 21, 2019, Commerce published the Orders in the Federal
Register.\1\ On May 1, 2024, Commerce published the notice of
initiation of the first sunset reviews of the Orders, pursuant to
section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).\2\ On
May 13, 2024, Commerce received a timely notice of intent to
participate in the sunset reviews of both Orders from Deer Park Glycine
and Chattem Chemicals, Inc. (collectively, domestic interested parties)
within the 15-day deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i).\3\
Each claimed interested party status under section 771(9)(C) of the Act
as a domestic producer engaged in the production in the United States
of glycine.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ See Glycine from India and the People's Republic of China:
Countervailing Duty Orders, 84 FR 29173 (June 21, 2019)
(collectively, the Orders).
\2\ See Initiation of Five-Year (Sunset) Reviews, 89 FR 35073
(May 1, 2024).
\3\ See Domestic Interested Parties' Letter, ``Notice of Intent
to Participate,'' dated May 13, 2024.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On May 20, 2024, Commerce received adequate substantive responses
from the domestic interested parties within the 30-day deadline
specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i).\4\ Commerce did not receive a
substantive response from any other interested party in these
proceedings, and no party requested a hearing. In accordance with
section 751(c)(3)(B) of the Act, because Commerce did not receive a
substantive response from any respondent party, pursuant to 19 CFR
351.218(e)(1)(ii)(B) and (e)(1)(ii)(C), respectively, respectively, we
determined that the respondent interested parties did not provide an
adequate response to the Initiation Notice. Therefore, on July 21,
2024, Commerce notified the U.S. International Trade Commission that it
did not receive an adequate substantive response from respondent
interested parties at that it would conduct expedited (120-day) sunset
reviews of the Orders, pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and
19 CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2).\5\ On July 22, 2024, Commerce tolled
certain deadlines in these administrative proceedings by seven days.\6\
The deadline for the final results of these sunset reviews is now
September 5, 2024.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ See the Domestic Interested Parties' Letters, ``Sunset
Review (1st Review) of the Countervailing Duty Order on Glycine from
India; Substantive Response to the Notice of Initiation,'' dated May
20, 2024; and ``Sunset Review (1st Review) of the Countervailing
Duty Order on Glycine from the People's Republic of China:
Substantive Response to the Notice of Initiation,'' dated May 20,
2024.
\5\ See Commerce's Letter, ``Sunset Reviews Initiated on May 1,
2024,'' dated June 21, 2024.
\6\ See Memorandum, ``Tolling of Deadlines for Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Proceedings,'' dated July 22, 2024.
