Background

    On March 1, 2021, Commerce published in the Federal Register a 
notice of opportunity to request an administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on glycine from China covering the period of 
review March 1, 2020, through February 28, 2021.\1\ On March 31, 2021, 
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 19 CFR 
351.221(c)(1)(i), Commerce initiated this administrative review with 
respect to one company, Baoding Mantong Fine Chemistry Co., Ltd. 
(Baoding Mantong), on May 5, 2021.\3\ On May 14, 2021, GEO withdrew its 
request for this administrative review with respect to Baoding 
Mantong.\4\

Rescission of Review

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), Commerce 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 publication date 
of the notice of initiation of the requested review. GEO timely 
submitted a withdrawal of its review request within the 90-day 
deadline. No other party requested this administrative review. 
Therefore, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), we are rescinding 
this administrative review 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 35 days after the date of publication of this 
notice in the Federal Register.

Notification to Importers

    This notice serves as the only reminder to importers, whose entries 
will be liquidated as a result of this rescission notice, 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 the antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent 
assessment of double antidumping duties.

Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Order

    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(a)(3). 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.

Notification to Interested Parties

    This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections 
751(a) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: May 20, 2021.
James Maeder,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
