(202) 482-4236, respectively.

Background

    The Department of Commerce (the Department) received timely 
requests for administrative review of the antidumping duty order on 
corrosion-resistant carbon steel flat products from Canada, with 
respect to Continuous Color Coat, Ltd. (``CCC''), Dofasco Inc. 
(``Dofasco''), Ideal Roofing Company, Ltd. (``Ideal Roofing''), Impact 
Steel Canada, Ltd. (``Impact Steel''), Russel Metals Export (``Russel 
Metals''), Sorevco and Company, Ltd. (``Sorevco''), and Stelco Inc. 
(``Stelco''). On September 30, 2003, the Department published a notice 
of initiation of this administrative review for the period of August 1, 
2002, through July 31, 2003 (68 FR 56262).
    On December 19, 2003, the Department rescinded the administrative 
reviews of CCC, Impact Steel, and Ideal Roofing (68 FR 70764). On March 
30, 2004, the Department rescinded the administrative review of Russel 
Metals (69 FR 16521). After these rescissions, the only companies still 
subject to review were Stelco, Dofasco, and Sorevco.

Extension of Time Limits for Preliminary Results

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, the Department shall 
issue preliminary results in an administrative review of an antidumping 
duty order within 245 days after the last day of the anniversary month 
of the date of publication of the order. The Act further provides, 
however, that the Department may extend that 245-day period to 365 days 
if it determines it is not practicable to complete the review within 
the foregoing time period.
    In light of the complexity of analyzing Stelco's, Dofasco's and 
Sorevco's cost calculations, and the issues concerning Dofasco's and 
Sorevco's affiliation, it is not practicable to complete this review by 
the current deadline of May 2, 2004.
    Therefore, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, the 
Department is extending the time limit for the preliminary results by 
120 days, until no later than August 30, 2004. The final results 
continue to be due 120 days after the publication of the preliminary 
results.
    This notice is issued and published in accordance to sections 
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: April 21, 2004.
Joseph A. Spetrini,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration, Group III.
