SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On April, 27, 2011, the Department of Commerce (the Department) 
published the initiation of the administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on glycine from the People's Republic of China 
(PRC) in the Federal Register. See Initiation of Antidumping and 
Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews, 76 FR 23545 (April 27, 
2011). The review covers the period of March 1, 2010, to February 28, 
2011. The current deadline for the preliminary results of review is 
December 1, 2011.

Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results of Review

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 
Act), requires that the Department complete the preliminary results of 
an administrative review within 245 days after the last day of the 
anniversary month of an order for which a review is requested. However, 
if it is not practicable to complete the review within this time 
period, section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows the Department to extend 
the 245 day time period for the preliminary results to 365 days.
    The Department finds that it is not practicable to complete the 
preliminary results of this review within the original time frame 
because it needs to obtain additional information from the respondent 
company, Baoding Mantong Fine Chemistry, Co., Ltd., in order to 
complete its analysis. Because the Department requires additional time 
to obtain and analyze this information, it is not practicable to 
complete this review by the current deadline of December 1, 2011. 
Accordingly, the Department is extending the time limit for completion 
of the preliminary results of this administrative review until no later 
than March 30, 2012, which is 365 days from the last day of the 
anniversary month of this order. We intend to issue the final results 
no later than 120 days after publication of the preliminary results 
notice.
    This extension is issued and published in accordance with sections 
751(a)(3)(A) and 777(i) of the Act.
