Oil Country Tubular Goods From Korea; Extension of Time Limit for 
Antidumping Duty Administrative Review

AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.

ACTION: Extension of time limit for antidumping duty administrative 
review of oil country tubular goods from Korea.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (``the Department'') is extending 
the time limit for the preliminary results of the ongoing antidumping 
duty administrative review of the antidumping order on oil country 
tubular goods from Korea. This review covers one manufacturer and 
exporter of the subject merchandise: SeAH Steel Corporation, Ltd. The 
period of review is August 1, 1996 through July 31, 1997.

EFFECTIVE DATE: January 30, 1998.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Steve Bezirganian or Steven Presing, 
AD/CVD Enforcement Group III--Office 7, Import Administration, 
International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th 
Street and Constitution Avenue, N.W., Washington D.C. 20230, telephone 
(202) 482-0162 or 482-0194, respectively.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department initiated this review in the 
Federal Register on September 25, 1997 (62 FR 50292). Currently, the 
preliminary results for this review are due May 3, 1998. However, due 
to the complexity of the issues involved in this case, including 
further manufacturing, multiple layers in the U.S. sales process, and 
the need to use third country market sales as the basis for normal 
value and for the Department's recently initiated cost investigation, 
the Department has determined that it is not practicable to complete 
this review within the time limits set forth by section 751(a)(3)(A) of 
the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended by the Uruguay Round Agreements Act. 
Therefore, the Department is extending the time limit for the 
preliminary results of the aforementioned review to August 31, 1998. 
This extension is in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff 
Act of 1930, as amended by the Uruguay Round Agreements Act of 1994 (19 
U.S.C. 1675(a)(3)(A)). See memorandum from Joseph A. Spetrini to Robert 
S. LaRussa, which is on file in Room B-099 at the Department's 
headquarters.

    Dated: January 23, 1998.
Joseph A. Spetrini,
Deputy Assistant Secretary, AD/CVD Enforcement Group III.
