AGENCY:
Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY:
As a result of the determinations by the U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) and the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) that revocation of the antidumping duty (AD) orders on glycine from India, Japan, and Thailand and countervailing duty (CVD) orders on glycine from India and the People's Republic of China (China), would likely lead to the continuation or recurrence of dumping, and material injury to an industry in the United States, Commerce is publishing a notice of continuation of these AD and CVD orders.
DATES:
Applicable November 29, 2024.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On June 21, 2019, Commerce published in the Federal Register the AD and CVD orders on glycine from India, China, and Japan and subsequently published the AD order on glycine from Thailand on October 18, 2019. 1 On May 1, 2024, the ITC instituted, 2 and Commerce initiated, 3 the first sunset review of the Orders, pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). As a result of its reviews, Commerce determined that revocation of the Orders would likely lead to the continuation or recurrence of dumping, and countervailable subsidies, and therefore, notified the ITC of the magnitude of the margins of dumping and subsidy rates likely to prevail should the Orders be revoked. 4
