SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On March 29, 1995, the Department published in the Federal Register 
an antidumping duty order on glycine from the PRC. See Antidumping Duty 
Order: Glycine from the People's Republic of China, 60 FR 16116 (March 
29, 1995). In accordance with section 351.214(b) of the Department's 
regulations, on March 26, 2003, the Department received a timely 
request for a new shipper review from Hebei New Donghua Amino Acid Co. 
Ltd. (New Donghua). On
    April 30, 2003, the Department initiated this new shipper review 
for the period March 1, 2002, through February 28, 2003. See Glycine 
from the People's Republic of China: Initiation of Antidumping New 
Shipper Review, 68 FR 23962 (May 6, 2003). The Department completed the 
preliminary results of this new shipper review on February 24, 2004. 
See Notice of Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty New Shipper 
Review: Glycine from the People's Republic of China, 69 FR 9804 (March 
2, 2004).

Extension of Time Limits for Final Results

    Section 351.214(i)(1) of the Department's regulations requires the 
Department to issue final results of a new shipper review within 90 
days after the date on which the preliminary results were issued. 
However, if the Secretary concludes that a new shipper review is 
extraordinarily complicated, the Secretary may extend the 90-day period 
to 150 days under section 351.214(i)(2) of the Department's 
regulations.
    The Department finds that this new shipper review is extraordinary 
complicated, and the final results of this new shipper review cannot be 
completed within the normal time limit because of the issue surrounding 
the bona fide nature of the sales under review, and information 
presented to the Department for the first time at verification. 
Therefore, in accordance with section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act and 
section 351.214(i)(2) of the Department's regulations, the Department 
is extending the time limit for the completion of final results to 150 
days. The final results will now be due no later than July 23, 2004.
    This notice is published pursuant to sections 751(a)(2)(B) and 
777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: May 20, 2004.
Joseph A. Spetrini,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration, Group III.
