Extension of Final Results of Review:

expedited sunset review of this order based on inadequate responses to 
the notice of initiation from respondent interested parties. The 
Department's final results of this review were originally scheduled for 
August 31, 2004 and were extended on August 31, 2004 to October 15, 
2004. See Certain Hot-Rolled Flat-Rolled Carbon-Quality Steel Products

results on or about November 22, 2004, in accordance with sections
