Background

    On March 30, 2007, a petition was filed with the Commission and 
Commerce by GEO Specialty Chemicals, Inc., Lafayette, IN, alleging that 
an industry in the United States is materially injured by reason of 
LTFV imports of glycine from India, Japan, and Korea. Accordingly, 
effective March 30, 2007, the Commission instituted antidumping duty 
investigation Nos. 731-TA-1111-1113 (Preliminary).
    Notice of the institution of the Commission's investigations and of 
a public conference to be held in connection therewith was given by 
posting copies of the notice in the Office of the Secretary, U.S. 
International Trade Commission, Washington, DC, and by publishing the 
notice in the Federal Register of April 9, 2007 (72 FR 17580). The 
conference was held in Washington, DC, on April 20, 2007, and all 
persons who requested the opportunity were permitted to appear in 
person or by counsel.
    The Commission transmitted its determinations in these 
investigations to the Secretary of Commerce on May 14, 2007. The views 
of the Commission are contained in USITC Publication 3921 (May 2007), 
entitled Glycine from India, Japan, and Korea: Investigation Nos. 731-
TA-1111-1113 (Preliminary).

    Issued: May 21, 2007.

    By order of the Commission.
Marilyn R. Abbott,
Secretary to the Commission.
