SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On March 5, 2019, Commerce published in the Federal Register a 
notice of opportunity to request an administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on glycine from China for the period of review 
covering March 1, 2018, through February 28, 2019.\1\ On April 1, 2018, 
GEO Specialty Chemicals, Inc. (GEO), a domestic producer of glycine, 
filed a timely request for review, in accordance with section 751(a) of 
the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 351.213(b).\2\ 
Pursuant to this request, and in accordance with section 751(a) of the 
Act and 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i), we initiated an administrative review 
of ten companies.\3\ On June 10, 2019, GEO filed a timely withdrawal of 
request for the administrative review of all ten companies.\4\

Suspended Investigation; Opportunity to Request Administrative 
Review, 84 FR 7877 (March 5, 2019).
    \2\ See Letter from GEO, ``Glycine from the People's Republic of 
China: Request for Administrative Review,'' dated April 1, 2019.
    \3\ See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews, 84 FR 24743 (May 29, 2019).
    \4\ See Letter from GEO, ``Glycine from the People's Republic of 
China: Withdrawal of Request for Administrative Review,'' dated June

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rescission of Review

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Secretary will rescind an 
administrative review, in whole or in part, if the party that requested 
the review withdraws the request within 90 days of the date of 
publication of the notice of initiation of the requested review. As 
noted above, GEO, the only party to file a request for review, withdrew 
this request by the 90-day deadline. Accordingly, we are rescinding the 
administrative review of the antidumping duty order on glycine from 
China covering March 1, 2018, through February 28, 2019, in its 
entirety.

Assessment

    Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to 
assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries of glycine from 
China. Antidumping duties shall be assessed at rates equal to the cash 
deposit of estimated antidumping duties required at the time of entry, 
or withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption, in accordance with 19 
CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i). Commerce intends to issue appropriate assessment 
instructions to CBP 15 days after the date of publication of this 
notice in the Federal Register.

Notification to Importers

    This notice serves as a 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 Commerce's presumption that 
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent 
assessment of doubled antidumping duties.

Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Orders

    This notice also serves as a reminder to all 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. Timely written notification of 
the return/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 violation which is subject to 
sanction.
    This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections 
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).
