SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

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 
regulations, codified at 19 CFR part 351 (2000).

Background

    On August 31, 2000, the Department of Commerce (the Department) 
received a request from SeAH Steel Corporation (``SeAH'') for an 
administrative review of the antidumping duty order on oil country 
tubular goods from Korea. On October 2, 2000, the Department published 
a notice of initiation of this administrative review, covering the 
period of August 1, 1999 through July 31, 2000 (65 FR 58733).

Extension of Time Limits for Preliminary Results

    Because of the complexities enumerated in the Memorandum from 
Barbara E. Tillman to Joseph A. Spetrini, Extension of Time Limit for 
the Preliminary Results of the Antidumping Duty Administrative Review 
of Oil Country Tubular Goods (OCTG) from Korea, dated April 18, 2001, 
it is not practical to complete this review 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 limit for the preliminary results of 
review until August 31, 2001. The final results continue to be due 120 
days after the publication of the preliminary results.

    Dated: April 27, 2001.
Joseph A. Spetrini,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary, AD/CVD Enforcement Group III.
