SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On April 4, 2008, the Department of Commerce (``the Department'') 
published the preliminary results of the antidumping duty 
administrative review of glycine from the People's Republic of China, 
covering the period March 1, 2006, through February 28, 2007. See 
Glycine from the People's Republic of China: Preliminary Results of 
Antidumping Duty Administrative Review and Partial Rescission, 73 FR 
18503 (April 4, 2008).

Extension of Time Limits for Final Results

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 
amended (``the Act''), and section 351.213(h)(1) of the Department's 
regulations, the Department shall issue the preliminary results of an 
administrative review within 245 days after the last day of the 
anniversary month of the date of publication of the order. The Act and 
the regulations further provide that the Department shall issue the 
final results of review within 120 days after the date on which the 
notice of the preliminary results was published in the Federal 
Register. See section Error! Main Document Only.751(a)(3)(A) of the Act 
and section 351.213(h)(1) of the Department's regulations. However, if 
the Department determines that it is not practicable to complete the 
review within this time period, section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 
section 351.213(h)(2) of the Department's regulations allow the 
Department to extend the 245-day period to 365 days and the 120-day 
period to 180 days.
    The Department extended the deadline for parties to submit case 
briefs and rebuttal briefs in order to address several issues raised by 
interested parties. As a result of these extensions and to allow more 
time to analyze issues raised in the case briefs and rebuttal briefs, 
the Department has determined that it is not practicable to complete 
the administrative review within the current time limit.
    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and section 351.213(h)(2) of the 
Department's regulations allow the Department to extend the deadline 
for the final results of a review to a maximum of 180 days from the 
date on which the notice of the preliminary results was published. For 
the reasons noted above, the Department is extending the time limit for 
the completion of these final results by 30 days, from the current 
deadline of August 2, 2008, until no later than September 2, 2008.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ An extension of 30 days from the current deadline of August 
2, 2008, would result in a new deadline of September 1, 2008. 
However, since September 1, 2008, is a federal holiday, the deadline 
will be the next business day, September 2, 2008.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections 
751(a)(3)(A) and 777(i) of the Act.

    Dated: July 8, 2008.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
