    On July 19, 1993, the Department published in the Federal Register 
(58 FR 37154) the antidumping duty order on certain corrosion-resistant 
carbon steel flat products from Japan. On September 29, 1998, the

administrative review covering the period of August 1, 1997 through 
July 31, 1998 (63 FR 51893). On February 24, 1999, the Department 
published a notice of extension of the time limit for the preliminary 
results of this review to August 1, 1999. See Corrosion-Resistant 
Carbon Steel Flat Products From Japan: Extension of Time Limit for 
Preliminary Results of the Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 64 
FR 9127 (February 24, 1999).
