We received a complete substantive response from Maui within the 30-day deadline specified in 19 CFR § 351.218(d)(3)(i). The Department also received a timely and complete substantive response from respondent interested parties, (The Thai Food Processors’ Association, Thai Pineapple Canning Industry Corp., Ltd., (‘‘TPC’’), Malee Sampran Public Co., Ltd., (‘‘Malee’’), The Siam Agro Industry Pineapples and Others Public Co., Ltd., (‘‘SAICO’’), Great Oriental Food Products Co., Ltd., (‘‘Great Oriental’’), Thai Pineapple Products and Other Fruits Co., Ltd., (‘‘THAICO’’), The Tipco Foods (Thailand) PCL (‘‘TIPCO’’), Pranburi Hotei Co., Ltd., (‘‘PHC’’), and Siam Fruit Canning (1988) Co., Ltd., (‘‘SIFCO’’)), (collectively, the ‘‘Respondents’’), within the applicable deadline specified in 19 CFR § 351.218(d)(3)(i). On May 12, 2006, the Department received rebuttal comments from Maui. Section 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(A) of the Department’s regulations provides that the Department normally will conclude that respondents have provided adequate response to a notice of initiation where the Department receives complete substantive responses from respondent interested parties accounting on average for more than 50 percent, by volume, or value, if appropriate, of the total exports of the subject merchandise to the United States over the five calender years preceding the year of publication of the notice of initiation. On May 22, 2006, the Department issued an adequacy determination stating that the Respondents did not meet the adequacy requirements. See Memorandum from Zev Primor to Tom Futtner ‘‘Adequacy Determination in Antidumping Duty Sunset Review of Canned Pineapple from Thailand’’ (May 22, 2006). On May 30, 2006, and June 8, 2006, we received timely comments pertaining to our calculation methodology from the Respondents and Maui, respectively. Upon review of the parties’ comments, we modified our calculation methodology and determined that the Respondents met the adequacy requirements. See Memorandum from Zev Primor to Tom Futtner ‘‘Correction to the Adequacy Calculation in the Antidumping Duty Sunset Review of Canned Pineapple Fruit from Thailand’’ (July 12, 2006). As a result, in accordance with 19 CFR § 351.218(e)(2)(i), the Department determined to conduct a full sunset review of this antidumping duty order. VerDate Aug<31>2005 17:11 Oct 26, 2006 Jkt 211001 On July 25, 2006, the Department determined that the sunset review of the antidumping duty order on CPF from Thailand is extraordinarily complicated and extended the time limit for completion of the final results of this review until not later than February 27, 2007, in accordance with section 751(c)(5)(B) of the Act. See Extension of Time Limits for Preliminary Results and Final Results of the Full Sunset Review of the Antidumping Duty Order on Canned Pineapple Fruit from Thailand, 71 FR 42,082 (July 25, 2006). Scope of the Order The product covered by this review is CPF, defined as pineapple processed and/or prepared into various product forms, including rings, pieces, chunks, tidbits, and crushed pineapple, that is packed and cooked in metal cans with either pineapple juice or sugar syrup added. CPF is currently classifiable under subheadings 2008.20.0010 and 2008.20.0090 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (‘‘HTSUS’’). HTSUS 2008.20.0010 covers CPF packed in a sugar–based syrup; HTSUS 2008.20.0090 covers CPF packed without added sugar (i.e., juice– packed). Although these HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and for customs purposes, the written description of the scope is dispositive. There have been no scope rulings for the subject order. There was one changed circumstances determination in which the Department affirmed that TIPCO is the successor–in-interest to the Thai Pineapple Public Co., Ltd. See Final Results of Antidumping Duty Changed Circumstances Review: Canned Pineapple Fruit from Thailand, 69 FR 36,058 (June 28, 2004) Analysis of Comments Received All issues raised in this review are addressed in the ‘‘Issues and Decision Memorandum for the Preliminary Results of the Full Sunset Review of the Antidumping Duty Order on Canned Pineapple Fruit from Thailand,’’ (the ‘‘Decision Memorandum’’) from Stephen J. Claeys, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration, to David M. Spooner, Assistant Secretary for Import Administration, dated October 20, 2006, which is hereby adopted by this notice. The issues discussed in the Decision Memorandum include the likelihood of continuation or recurrence of dumping and the magnitude of the margins likely to prevail if the order were to be revoked. Parties can find a complete discussion of all issues raised in this review and the corresponding recommendations in the Decision Memorandum which is on PO 00000 Frm 00011 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 file in room B–099 of the main Commerce building.

Glycine From the People's Republic of China: Extension of 
Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review

AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (``the Department'') is extending 
the time limit for the preliminary results of the review of glycine 
from the People's Republic of China (``PRC''). This review covers the 
period March 1, 2005, through February 28, 2006.

EFFECTIVE DATE: October 27, 2006.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Statutory Time Limits

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the 
Act''), requires the Department to make a preliminary determination 
within 245 days after the last day of the anniversary month of an order 
for which a review is requested and a final determination within 120 
days after the date on which the preliminary results are published. 
However, if it is not practicable to complete the review within these 
time periods, section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows the Department to 
extend the time limit for the preliminary determination to a maximum of 
365 days after the last day of the anniversary month.

Background

    On March 29, 1995, the Department published in the Federal Register 
an antidumping duty order on glycine from the PRC. See Antidumping Duty 
Order: Glycine from the People's Republic of China, 60 FR 16116, (March 
29, 1995). On April 28, 2006, the Department published a notice of 
initiation of the administrative review of the antidumping duty order 
on glycine from the People's Republic of China. See Notice of 
Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative 
Reviews, 71 FR 25145 (April 28, 2006). The preliminary results of this 
administrative review are currently due no later than December 1, 2006.

Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results of Review

    We determine that it is not practicable to complete the preliminary 
results of this review within the original time limit because the 
Department requires additional time to analyze the supplemental 
questionnaire responses, issue additional supplemental questionnaires, 
as well as to evaluate what would be the most appropriate surrogate 
values to use during the period of review. Therefore, the Department is 
extending the time limit for completion of the preliminary results by 
120 days. The preliminary results will now be due no later than April 
2, 2007, which is the first business day after the 120-day extension 
(the 120\th\ day falls on the weekend). The final results continue to 
be due 120 days after the publication of the preliminary results.
    We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(3)(A) and 777(i) of the Act.

    Dated: October 23, 2006.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
