Glycine From the People's Republic of China: Notice of Extension 
of Time Limit for Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty New Shipper 
Review

AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.

EFFECTIVE DATE: November 19, 2002.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Matthew Renkey or Scot Fullerton, 
Office of AD/CVD Enforcement VII, Import Administration, International 
Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and 
Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-2312 
or (202) 482-1386, respectively.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The Applicable Statute

    Unless otherwise indicated, all citations are to the Tariff Act of 
1930, as amended (the Act). In addition, unless otherwise indicated, 
all citations to the Department's regulations are to 19 CFR part 351 
(2002).

Background

    In accordance with 19 CFR Sec.  351.214(b)(2), on March 29, 2002, 
the Department received the timely and properly filed request from 
Tianjin Tiancheng Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (TTPC), for a new shipper 
review of its exports of glycine. On May 17, 2002, the Department 
initiated a new shipper review of the antidumping duty order on glycine 
for the period of review of March 1, 2001 through February 28, 2002. 
(67 FR 36572)

Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results

    Section 351.214(i)(1) of the Department's regulations requires the 
Department to issue preliminary results of a new shipper review within 
180 days of the date of initiation. However, if the Secretary concludes 
that a new shipper review is extraordinarily complicated, the Secretary 
may extend the 180-day period to 300 days under section 351.214(i)(2) 
of the Department's regulations. Because of the complex nature of both 
TTPC's supplier relationships and its reported factors of production 
information, and the resultant need to gather additional information 
and conduct further analysis into these areas, we find this review to 
be extraordinarily complicated.
    Accordingly, the Department is extending the time limit for the 
completion of the preliminary results to 300 days after the date of 
initiation, in accordance with section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act and 
351.214(i)(2) of the Department's regulations. The preliminary results 
will now be due on March 13, 2003. The final results will in turn be 
due 90 days after the date of issuance of the preliminary results, 
unless extended.

    Dated: November 12, 2002.
Barbara E. Tillman,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration, Group III.
