The Applicable Statute

    Unless otherwise indicated, all citations to the Tariff Act of 
1930, as amended (the Act) are to the provisions effective January 1, 
1995, the effective date of the amendments made to the Act by the 
Uruguay Round Agreements Act. In addition, unless otherwise indicated, 
all citations to the Department's regulations are to 19 CFR part 351

Background

    On August 11, 1995, the Department published in the Federal 
Register an antidumping duty order on oil country tubular goods, other 
than drill pipe, (OCTG) from Korea (60 FR 41057). On August 31, 2000, 
the Department received a timely request from SeAH to conduct an 
administrative review pursuant to section 351.213(b)(2) of the 
Department's regulations. We published a notice of initiation of this 
antidumping duty administrative review on OCTG on October 2, 2000 (65 
FR 58733).
    The Department subsequently determined it was not practicable to 
complete the review within the standard time frame, and extended the 
deadline for completion of the preliminary results for this antidumping 
duty administrative review. See Oil Country Tubular Goods from Korea: 
Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results of Antidumping 
Administrative Review, 66 FR 23232 (May 8, 2001). On September 10, 
2001, the Department published the preliminary results of this 
administrative review. See Oil Country Tubular Goods From Korea: 
Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 66 FR 
46999 (September 10, 2001).

Extension of Time Limits for Final Results

    Due to the need to analyze comments on inland freight expenses and 
indirect selling expenses, it is not practicable to complete the review 
within the initial time limits mandated by section 751(a)(3)(A) of the 
Act. Therefore, we are extending the due date for the final results of 
this review until March 9, 2002.

    Dated: December 13, 2001.
Joseph A. Spetrini,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration, Group III.
