SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Postponement of Preliminary Determination

    On April 19, 2007, the Department of Commerce (the Department) 
initiated the antidumping duty investigations of Glycine from India, 
Japan, and the Republic of Korea. See Glycine from India, Japan, and 
the Republic of Korea: Initiation of Antidumping Duty Investigations, 
72 FR 20816 (April 26, 2007). The notice of initiation stated that the 
Department would issue its preliminary determinations for these 
investigations no later than 140 days after the date of issuance of the 
initiation (i.e., September 6, 2007), in accordance with section 
733(b)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).
    On August 10, 2007, the petitioner, Geo Speciality Chemicals, Inc., 
made a timely request pursuant to 19 CFR 351.205(e) for a postponement 
of the preliminary determination with respect to India. The petitioner 
requested postponement of the preliminary determination in order to 
allow the Department additional time to determine whether the two 
mandatory respondents will supply complete responses and participate 
fully in the investigation.
    For the reason identified by the petitioner and because there are 
no compelling reasons to deny the request, the Department is postponing 
the deadline for the preliminary determination with respect to India 
under section 733(c)(1)(A) of the Act by 50 days to October 26, 2007. 
The deadline for the final determination will continue to be 75 days 
after the date of the preliminary determination, unless extended.
    This notice is issued and published pursuant to sections 733(c)(2) 
of the Act and 19 CFR 351.205(f)(1).

    Dated: August 16, 2007.
David M. Spooner,
Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
