that interested parties provide, at the beginning of their briefs, a public executive summary for
each issue raised in their briefs.10 Further, we request that interested parties limit their public

to use the public executive summaries as the basis of the comment summaries included in the
issues and decision memorandum that will accompany the final determination in this

date of publication of this notice in the Federal Register, unless extended, pursuant to section
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(1).
Assessment Rates
Upon completion of the final results, Commerce shall determine, and U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries.13 If the
weighted-average dumping margin for Yuki Gosei Kogyo Co., Ltd./Nagase & Co., Ltd. is not
zero or de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent) in the final results of this review, we will calculate
an importer-specific assessment rate. Where the respondent reported reliable entered values,
Commerce intends to calculate importer/customer-specific ad valorem assessment rates on the
basis of the ratio of the total amount of dumping calculated for each importer’s examined sales
and the total entered value of such sales in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).14 Where the
respondent did not report entered values, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), Commerce
will calculate importer/customer-specific assessment rates by dividing the amount of dumping
for reviewed sales to the importer/customer by the total quantity of those sales. Commerce will
calculate an estimated ad valorem importer/customer-specific assessment rate to determine
whether the per-unit assessment rate is de minimis; however, Commerce will use the per-unit
assessment rate where entered values were not reported. Where an importer/customer-specific
ad valorem assessment rate is not zero or de minimis, Commerce will instruct CBP to collect the
appropriate duties at the time of liquidation. If Yuki Gosei Kogyo Co., Ltd./Nagase & Co.,
Ltd.’s weighted-average dumping margin is zero or de minimis in the final results of review, or if
an importer-specific assessment rate for one of these companies is zero or de minimis,
Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate appropriate entries without regard to antidumping
duties.15 For entries of subject merchandise during the period of review produced by any of

these companies for which it did not know its merchandise was destined for the United States,
we will instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed entries.16
For Showa Denko K.K., for which we are rescinding this administrative review,
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, during the
period of review, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i). For Showa Denko K.K.,
Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days after the date
of publication of these preliminary results in the Federal Register.
Consistent with its recent notice,17 Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to
CBP no earlier than 35 days after the date of publication of the final results of this review in the
Federal Register. If a timely summons is filed at the U.S. Court of International Trade, the
assessment instructions will direct CBP not to liquidate relevant entries until the time for parties
to file a request for a statutory injunction has expired (i.e., within 90 days of publication). The
final results of this administrative review shall be the basis for the assessment of antidumping
duties on entries of merchandise under review and for future cash deposits of estimated
antidumping duties, where applicable.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon publication in the Federal
Register of the notice of final results of administrative review for all shipments of glycine from
Japan entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of publication
as provided by section 751(a)(2) of the Act: (1) the cash deposit rate for companies subject to
this review will be equal to the company-specific weighted-average dumping margin established
in the final results of the review; (2) for merchandise exported by a company not covered in this

See Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May
6, 2003).

Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Proceedings, 86 FR 3995 (January 15, 2021).
review but covered in a prior segment of the proceeding, the cash deposit rate will continue to be
the company-specific rate published in the completed segment for the most recent period; (3) if
the exporter is not a firm covered in this review, a prior review, or the original investigation but
the producer is, the cash deposit rate will be the rate established in the completed segment for the
most recent period for the producer of the merchandise; (4) the cash deposit rate for all other
producers or exporters will be 53.66 percent, the all-others rate established in the less-than-fairvalue investigation.18 These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect
until further notice.
Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a preliminary 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 the Secretary’s presumption that reimbursement of antidumping
duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of double antidumping duties.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing these results in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and
777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.221.
