SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On September 28, 2007, the Commission established a schedule for the conduct of the final phase of the subject investigations (72 FR 55247). Although the Department of Commerce (‘‘Commerce’’) had not yet made its preliminary less than fair value determination (‘‘LTFV’’) regarding India, the Commission, for administrative purposes, included India in the investigation schedule, pending Commerce’s preliminary LTFV determination. On November 7, 2007, Commerce issued its preliminary determination in the investigation of glycine from India (72 FR 62827; as amended 72 FR 62826), and the Commission revised its schedule (72 FR 65060, November 19, 2007). On December 7, 2007, Commerce issued a notice of postponement of its final determination in the investigation of glycine from India (72 FR 69187). The Commission, therefore, is revising its schedule with respect to the investigation concerning India. The Commission’s revised schedule with respect to India is as follows: A supplemental brief addressing only Commerce’s final antidumping duty determination is due on April 8, 2008. The brief may not exceed five (5) pages in length. For further information concerning this investigation see the Commission’s E:\FR\FM\28DEN1.SGM 28DEN1
