ACTION: Notice of initiation of new shipper antidumping review. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (the Department) has received a request from Nantong Dongchang Chemical Industry Corp. (Nantong Dongchang) to conduct a new shipper review of the [[Page 61835]] antidumping duty order on glycine from the People's Republic of China (PRC), which has a March anniversary date. In accordance with the Department's regulations, we are initiating this new shipper review. EFFECTIVE DATE: November 15, 1999. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Andrew Nulman or Maureen Flannery, AD/ CVD Enforcement, Import Administration, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue, N.W., Washington D.C. 20230; telephone: (202) 482- 4052 or (202) 482-3020, respectively. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Applicable Statute and Regulations Unless otherwise indicated, all citations to the statute are references to the provisions effective January 1, 1995, the effective date of the amendments made to the Tariff Act of 1930 (the Act) by the Uruguay Round Agreements Act. In addition, unless otherwise indicated, all citations to the Department's regulations are to the current regulations, codified at 19 CFR Part 351 (April, 1998). Background On September 30, 1999, the Department received a timely request, in accordance with section 751(a)(2)(B) of the Act and section 351.214(c) of the Department's regulations, for a new shipper review of the antidumping duty order on glycine, issued on March 29, 1995. Initiation of Review In its request of September 30, 1999, Nantong Dongchang, as required by 19 CFR 351.214(b)(2)(i) and (b)(2)(iii)(A), certified that it did not export the subject merchandise to the United States during the period of investigation (POI) (February 1, 1994 through July 31, 1994), and that since the investigation was initiated on July 28, 1994, it has not been affiliated with any company which exported subject merchandise to the United States during the POI. Nantong Dongchang further certified that its export activities are not controlled by the central government of the PRC, satisfying the requirements of 19 CFR 351.214(b)(2)(iii)(B). Pursuant to the Department's regulations at 19 CFR 351.214(b)(2)(iv), Nantong Dongchang submitted documentation establishing the date on which the subject merchandise was first entered for consumption into the United States, the volume of that first shipment, and the date of its first sale to an unaffiliated customer in the United States. It is the Department's usual practice in cases involving non-market economies to require that companies seeking to establish eligibility for an antidumping duty rate separate from the country-wide rate provide de jure and de facto evidence of an absence of government control over the company's export activities. Accordingly we will issue a separate rates questionnaire to the above-named respondent, allowing 37 days for response. If a respondent's response provides sufficient indication that it is not subject to either de jure or de facto government control with respect to its exports of crawfish, the review of its crawfish exports will proceed. If, on the other hand, a respondent does not demonstrate its eligibility for a separate rate, then that respondent will be deemed to be affiliated with other companies that exported during the POI and that did not establish entitlement to a separate rate, and its review will be terminated. In accordance with section 751(a)(2)(B) and 19 CFR 351.214(d), we are initiating a new shipper review of the antidumping duty order on glycine from the PRC. In accordance with 19 CFR 351.214(h)(1), we intend to issue preliminary results of this review no later than 180 days after the date of initiation. The standard period of review (POR) in a new shipper review initiated in the month immediately following the semiannual anniversary month is the six-month period immediately preceding the semi-annual anniversary month. Therefore, the POR for this new shipper review of Nantong Dongchang is March 1, 1999 through August 30, 1999. Concurrent with publication of this notice, and in accordance with 19 CFR 351.214(e), we will instruct the U.S. Customs Service to allow, at the option of the importer, the posting of a bond or security in lieu of a cash deposit for each entry of the merchandise exported by the company listed above, until the completion of the review. Interested parties must submit applications for disclosure under administrative protective order in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305 and 351.306. This initiation and notice are in accordance with section 751(a) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1675(a)) and 19 CFR 351.214. Dated: November 1, 1999. Joseph A. Spetrini, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
