Review

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

EFFECTIVE DATE: November 30, 2007.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Cindy Lai Robinson, AD/CVD Operations,

Background

    On April 27, 2007, the Department published a notice of initiation 
of antidumping duty administrative review of glycine from the People's 
Republic of China (``China''), covering the period March 1, 2006, 
through February 28, 2007. See Initiation of Antidumping and 
Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews, 72 FR 20986 (April 27, 
2007). The preliminary results for this administrative review are 
currently due on December 1, 2007.\1\ See section 751(a)(3)(A) of the 
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``Act''). The Department is extending 
the time limit for the completion of the preliminary results of this 
review by 120 days because it is not practicable to complete the review 
within this time period. In this review, the Department has encountered 
complicated affiliation issues, which require further analysis. Such 
analysis is necessary in order for the Department to obtain accurate 
information related to sales practices, factors of production, and 
corporate relationships. In addition, the Department intends to issue 
additional supplemental questionnaires prior to issuing the preliminary 
results.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Because December 1, 2007, falls on Saturday, the actual date 
for the preliminary results will be the next business day, December 
3, 2007. See Notice of Clarification: Application of ``Next Business 
Day'' Rule for Administrative Determination Deadlines Pursuant to 
the Tariff Act of 1930, As Amended, 70 FR 24533 (May 10, 2005) 
(``Next Business Day Rule'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Given that it is not practicable to complete the review within the 
statutory time period, and in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of 
the Act, we are extending the time period for issuing the preliminary 
results of review by 120 days. Since a 120-day extension would result 
in the deadline for the preliminary results falling on March 30, 2008, 
which is Sunday, the new deadline for the final results will be the 
next business day, March 31, 2008. See Next Business Day Rule. The 
final results continue to be due 120 days after the publication of the 
preliminary results.
    This notice is published pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) and 
777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: November 23, 2007.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
