SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Postponement of Final 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 initiation 
(i.e., September 6, 2007), unless postponed, in accordance with section 
733(b)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). On August 
23, 2007, in response to a timely request from the petitioner, Geo 
Speciality Chemicals, Inc., we postponed the preliminary determination 
to October 26, 2007. See Glycine from India: Postponement of 
Preliminary Determination of Antidumping Duty Investigation, 72 FR 
48257 (August 23, 2007). On October 26, 2007, and November 1, 2007, we 
issued our affirmative preliminary and amended preliminary 
determinations in this investigation, respectively. See Notice of 
Preliminary Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value: Glycine 
from India, 72 FR 62827 (November 7, 2007), and Notice of Amended 
Preliminary Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value: Glycine 
from India, 72 FR 62826 (November 7, 2007).
    On November 2, 2007, and November 9, 2007, Paras Intermediates Pvt. 
Ltd. (Paras), the only respondent that received a calculated rate in 
the preliminary determination of this investigation, made timely 
requests for a postponement of the final determination pursuant to 
section 735(a)(2) of the Act and extension of provisional measures with 
respect to glycine from India. See also 19 CFR 351.210(b)(2)(ii) and 19 
CFR 351.210(e)(2). Paras requested postponement of the final 
determination in order to allow sufficient time to prepare for 
verification and to ensure the Department adequate time to conduct its 
verification, which was scheduled originally during a period which 
coincided with an important Indian holiday.
    For the reasons identified by Paras and because there are no 
compelling reasons to deny the request, the Department is postponing 
the deadline for the final determination with respect to India under 
section 735(a)(2) of the Act to 135 days after the date on which the 
preliminary determination was published. The date of the final 
determination will be no later than March 21, 2008. The Department is 
also extending the provisional measures accordingly.
    This notice is issued and published pursuant to sections 735(a)(2) 
and 771(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.210(g).

    Dated: November 30, 2007.
David M. Spooner,
Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
