ACTION: Notice of extension of time limit 

for preliminary results of antidumping 

duty administrative review.

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. This review covers 

the period March 1, 2003, through

Time Limits

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 determination is 

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 April 28, 2004, 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, 69 FR 23170 (April 28, 2004). 

The preliminary results of this 

administrative review are currently due 

no later than December 1, 2004.

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 needs to 

gather more information in order to 

further analyze the Respondent’s 

production process, 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, 120 days, i.e., until no later than 

March 31, 2005. This extension is in 

accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of 

the Act.

Dated: October 27, 2004.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import 

Administration.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Purpose

This information collection complies 

with Section 6002 of the Resource 

Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) 

(42 U.S.C. 6962). RCRA requires the 

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 

to designate items which are or can be 

produced with recovered materials. 

RCRA further requires agencies to 

develop affirmative procurement 

programs to ensure that items composed 

of recovered materials will be purchased 

to the maximum extent practicable. 

Affirmative procurement programs 

required under RCRA must contain, as 

a minimum (1) a recovered materials 

preference program and an agency 

promotion program for the preference 

program; (2) a program for requiring 

estimates of the total percentage of 

recovered materials used in the 

performance of a contract, certification 

of minimum recovered material content 

actually used, where appropriate, and 

reasonable verification procedures for 

estimates and certifications; and (3) 

annual review and monitoring of the 

effectiveness of an agency’s affirmative 

procurement program.

The items for which EPA has 

designated minimum recovered material 

content standards are (1) cement and 

concrete containing fly ash, (2) paper 

and paper products, (3) lubricating oil 

containing re-refined oil, (4) retread 

tires, and (5) building insulation 

products. The FAR rule also permits 

agencies to obtain pre-award 

information from offerors regarding the 

content of items which the agency has 

designated as requiring minimum 

percentages of recovered materials. 

There are presently no known agency 

designated items.

In accordance with RCRA, the 

information collection applies to 

acquisitions requiring minimum 

percentages of recovered materials, 

when the price of the item exceeds 

$10,000 or when the aggregate amount 

paid for the item or functionally 

equivalent items in the preceding fiscal 

year was $10,000 or more.

Contracting officers use the 

information to verify offeror/contractor 

compliance with solicitation and 

contract requirements regarding the use 

of recovered materials. Additionally, 

agencies use the information in the 

63512 Federal Register / Vol. 69, No. 211 / Tuesday, November 2, 2004 / Notices 

annual review and monitoring of the 

effectiveness of the affirmative 

procurement programs required by 

RCRA.
