The Applicable Statute

    Unless otherwise indicated, all citations to the statute are 
references to the provisions effective January 1, 1995, the effective 
date of the amendments made to the Tariff Act of 1930 (the Act) by the 
Uruguay Round Agreements Act. In addition, unless otherwise indicated, 
all citations to the Department's regulations are to the current

Background

    On August 19, 1993, the Department published in the Federal 
Register (58 FR 44162) the antidumping duty orders on certain 
corrosion-resistant carbon steel flat products and certain cut-to-
length carbon steel plate from Canada. The Department initiated these 
reviews for Stelco, Inc., Dofasco, Inc., Sorevco, Inc., Continuous 
Colour Coat, Ltd., and National Steel Corp., (corrosion-resistant) and 
Clayson Steel Inc., Metaux Russel Inc. and Stelco, Inc. (cut-to-length) 
on October 1, 1999 (64 FR 53318).\1\ We initiated a review of Gerdau 
MRM Steel (cut-to-length) on November 4, 1999 (64 FR 60161).\2\ These 
reviews cover the period of August 1, 1998 through July 31, 1999. On 
April 27, 2000, the Department published an extension of these 
preliminary results of review until July 21, 2000 (65 FR 24678).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Petitioners withdrew their request for a review of Stelco 
under both orders. Stelco did not request that its sales be 
reviewed. National withdrew its request to be reviewed. Petitioners 
did not request that National be reviewed.
    \2\ We inadvertently failed to include Gerdau MRM Steel in our 
October 1, 1999 notice.

Extension of Time Limits for Preliminary Results

    For the reasons described in the Memorandum from Edward C. Yang to 
Joseph A. Spetrini, Extension of Time Limit for the Final Results of 
Antidumping Duty Administrative Reviews of Certain Corrosion-Resistant 
Carbon Steel Flat Products and Certain Cut-to-Length Carbon Steel Plate 
From Canada, dated June 22, 2000, it is not practical to complete these 
reviews within the time limits mandated by section 751(a)(3)(A) of the 
Act.
    Therefore, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, the 
Department is extending the time period for issuing the preliminary 
results of review until August 30, 2000.

    Dated: June 22, 2000.
Robert M. James,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary, AD/CVD Enforcement Group III.
