AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration,

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

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (the Department) is extending the 
time limit for the preliminary results of the 2002-2003 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 November 1, 2002 through October 31, 2003.

EFFECTIVE DATE: July 15, 2004.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: David Cordell at (202) 482-0408 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 24, 2003, in response to a 
request from petitioners, (United States Steel Corporation), and 
interested parties (International Steel Group and Nucor Corporation), 
we published a notice of initiation of this administrative review in 
the Federal Register. See

[[Page 42419]]

Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative 
Reviews, 68 FR 74550 (December 24, 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), the current deadlines 
are August 1, 2004 for the preliminary results and November 29, 2004 
for the final results. The Department, however, may extend the deadline 
for completion of the preliminary results of a review if it determines 
it is not practicable to complete the preliminary 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 the examination of 
sales by respondent Corus Staal, BV's many affiliated parties in the 
U.S. market and in the home market and further examination of the cost 
of production response.
    Therefore, the Department is extending the time limit for 
completion of the preliminary results until November 29, 2004 in 
accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act. The deadline 
for the final results of this review will continue to be 120 days after 
publication of the preliminary results.

    Dated: July 8, 2004.
Jeffrey May,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration, Group I.
