SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Effective October 31, 2018, the Commission 
established a general schedule for the conduct of the final phase of 
its investigations on glycine from China, India, Japan, and 
Thailand.\1\ Due to the lapse in appropriations and ensuring cessation 
of Commission operations, the Commission revised its schedule on 
February 6, 2019, to conduct the final phase of its investigations on 
glycine from China, India, Japan, and Thailand \2\ following 
preliminary determinations by the U.S. Department of Commerce

[[Page 44335]]

(``Commerce'') that countervailable subsidies are being provided to 
producers and exporters of glycine from China and India \3\ and that 
imports of glycine from India and Japan,\4\ were being sold at less 
than fair value (``LTFV'') in the United States. Notice of the 
scheduling of the final phase of the Commission's investigations and of 
a public hearing to be held in connection therewith was given by 
posting copies of the notice in the Office of the Secretary, U.S. 
International Trade Commission, Washington, DC, and by publishing the 
notice in the Federal Register of February 6, 2019 (84 FR 3486). The 
hearing was held in Washington, DC, on April 30, 2019, and all persons 
who requested the opportunity were permitted to appear in person or by 
counsel. The Commission subsequently determined that imports of glycine 
from India and Japan are sold in the United States at LTFV and that 
imports of glycine are being subsidized by the governments of China and 
India.\5\ Commerce has issued a final affirmative determination that 
glycine from Thailand is being, or is likely to be, sold in the United 
States at LTFV.6 7 Accordingly, the Commission currently is 
issuing a supplemental schedule for its antidumping duty investigation 
on imports of glycine from Thailand.
