U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue, NW,

The Applicable Statute

    Unless otherwise indicated, all citations to the statute are 
references to the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). In 
addition, unless otherwise indicated, all citations to the 
Departments's regulations are to the current regulations, codified at 
19 CFR part 351 (2001).

Background

    On August 31, 2001, the Department of Commerce (the Department) 
received timely requests to conduct an administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on oil country tubular goods from Korea. On 
October 1, 2001, the Department published a notice of initiation of 
this administrative review, covering the period of August 1, 2000 
through July 31, 2001 (66 FR 49924).

Extension of Time Limits for Preliminary Results

    Because of the complexity and timing of certain issues in this 
case, specifically the use of third country sales and the appropriate 
basis for determining normal value, it is not practicable to complete 
this review within the usual time limits mandated by section 
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act. Therefore, we are extending the due date for 
the preliminary results of the administrative review of SeAH until 
August 26, 2002, pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A). The final results 
continue to be due 120 days after the publication of the preliminary 
results. We note that on February 6, 2002, the Department aligned the 
new shipper review of Shinho Steel Co., Ltd. (Shinho) with this 
administrative review of oil country tubular goods from Korea (67 FR 
5563). Therefore, the due date for the preliminary determination of the 
new shipper review of Shinho is also extended to August 26, 2002.

    Dated: April 23, 2002.
Joseph A. Spetrini,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration, Group III.
