Statutory Time Limits

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the 
Act''), requires the Department of Commerce (``the Department'') to 
issue the final results of an antidumping duty investigation within 120 
days of the date the preliminary results are issued. However, if the 
Department concludes that it is not practicable to issue the results by 
the original deadline, it may extend the 120-day period to 180 days.

Background

    On October 2, 2000, the Department initiated the above-referenced 
review. See Notice of Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews and Requests for Revocation in Part, 65 FR 58733 
(October 2, 2000). The preliminary results were published in the 
Federal Register on September 11, 2001. See Certain Cold-Rolled and 
Corrosion-Resistant Carbon Steel Flat Products From the Republic of 
Korea: Notice of Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative 
Review (``Preliminary Results''), 66 FR 47163 (September 11, 2001). The 
current due date for the final results is January 9, 2001.

Extension of Time Limits for the Final Results

    Due to the complexity of issues involved in these cases, such as 
complicated cost accounting, downstream home market affiliated parties, 
and the addition of a new respondent in this seventh administrative 
review, it is not practicable to complete these reviews within the 
original time limit. Therefore, the Department has postponed the 
deadline for issuing the final results until March 11, 2002, which is 
180 days after publication of the Preliminary Results. 

    Dated: October 12, 2001.

Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary, AD/CVD Enforcement Group III.
