Department published in the Federal Register the preliminary 
determination in the antidumping duty investigation of imports of 
certain cold-rolled carbon steel flat products from Spain. See Notice 
of Preliminary Determination of Sales at Less than Fair Value: Certain 
Cold-Rolled Carbon Steel Flat Products from Spain, 67 FR 31248 (May 9, 
2002).
    Pursuant to section 735(a)(2)(A) of the Act, on May 13, 2002, the 
respondent requested that the Department postpone its final 
determination until no later than 135 days after the date of the 
publication of the preliminary determination in the Federal Register. 
In accordance with 19 CFR 351.210(e)(2), the respondent consented to 
the extension of provisional measures to no longer than six months in 
its request for postponement. In accordance with 19 CFR 
351.210(b)(2)(ii), because our preliminary determination is 
affirmative, because no compelling reasons for denial exist, and 
because the exporter accounts for a significant proportion of exports 
of subject merchandise, we are granting the respondent's request and 
are postponing the final determination until no later than September 
23, 2002. Furthermore, any provisional measures imposed by this 
investigation will be extended from a four-month period to not more 
than six months.
    This notice is issued and published pursuant to section 735(d) of 
the Act and 19 CFR 351.210(g).
