-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (``the Department'') is extending 
the time limit for the preliminary results of the antidumping duty 
administrative review of structural steel beams (``SSB'') from Korea.

DATES: May 1, 2002.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Brandon Farlander, AD/CVD Enforcement 
Group III, Office 9, Import Administration, International Trade 
Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

BACKGROUND:

    On October 1, 2001, we published a notice of initiation of a review 
of SSB from Korea covering the period February 11, 2000 through July 
31, 2001. See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews and Requests for Revocation in Part, October 1, 
2001 (66 FR 49924). The Department's preliminary results are currently 
due on May 3, 2002.

EXTENSION OF TIME LIMITS FOR PRELIMINARY RESULTS

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 
Act) states that if it is not practicable to complete the review within 
the time specified, the administering authority may extend the 245-day 
period to issue its preliminary results by up to 120 days. Completion 
of the preliminary results of this review within the 245-day period is 
not practicable because the review involves complex affiliation issues, 
including respondent INI Steel Company's (``INI'') merger with Kangwon 
and additional issues regarding INI's corporate affiliations.
    Therefore, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, we 
are extending the time period for issuing the preliminary results of 
review by 120 days until August 31, 2002. However, due to a Federal 
holiday, the signature date will be Tuesday, September 3, 2002. The 
final results continue to be due 120 days after the publication of the 
preliminary results.

    Dated: April 25, 2002.
Joseph A. Spetrini,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration, Group III.
