Certain Hot-Rolled Carbon Steel Flat Products from the 
Netherlands; Antidumping Duty Administrative Review; Extension of Time 
Limit

AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (the Department) is extending the 
time limit for the final results of the 2001-2002 administrative review 
of the antidumping duty order on certain hot-rolled carbon steel flat 
products from the Netherlands. This review covers one manufacturer/
exporter of the subject merchandise to the United States and the period 
May 3, 2001 through October 31, 2002.

EFFECTIVE DATE: February 12, 2004.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Deborah Scott at (202) 482-2657 or 
Robert James at (202) 482-0649, Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Enforcement Group III, Office Eight, Import Administration, 
International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th 
Street and Constitution Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20230.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On December 8, 2003, we published the 
preliminary results of the administrative review of the antidumping 
duty order on certain hot-rolled carbon steel flat products from the 
Netherlands for the period May 3, 2001 through October 31, 2002. See 
Certain Hot-Rolled Carbon Steel Flat Products from the Netherlands; 
Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 68 FR 
68341 (December 8, 2003). Pursuant to the time limits for 
administrative reviews set forth in section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff 
Act of 1930, as amended (the Tariff Act), currently the final results 
of this administrative review are due on April 6, 2004. The Department, 
however, may extend the deadline for completion of the final results of 
a review if it determines it is not practicable to complete the final 
results within the statutory time limit. See 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff 
Act and section 351.213(h)(2) of the Department's regulations. In this 
case the Department has determined it is not practicable to complete 
this review within the statutory time limit because of significant 
issues which require additional time to evaluate. These include: 
treatment of section 201 tariffs; treatment of entries made during the 
period October 30, 2001 through November 28, 2001 (``gap period'') in 
the margin calculation; and the calculation of various components of 
the cost of production (e.g., cost of manufacture and general and 
administrative expenses). Therefore, the Department is extending the 
time limit for completion of the final results until June 5, 2004 in 
accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act.
