Extension of Final Results of Reviews

    On June 1, 2004, the Department initiated a sunset review of the 
countervailing duty order on SSSS from Korea. See Initiation of Five-
Year

[[Page 67899]]

(Sunset) Reviews, 69 FR 30874 (June 1, 2004). The Department, in this 
proceeding, determined that it would conduct an 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 was originally scheduled for September 29, 2004 and was 
rescheduled for November 15, 2004.
    Pursuant to section 751(c)(5)(B) of the Act, the administrating 
authority may extend the period for issuing final results by not more 
than 90 days if the administrating authority determines that a sunset 
review is extraordinarily complicated. A review may be treated as 
extraordinarily complicated if the issues to be considered are complex. 
Section 751(c)(5)(C)(ii) of the Act. In this instant review, the 
Department, needs additional time to consider complex issues related to 
the appropriate net countervailable subsidy rate likely to prevail if 
the order is revoked, which the Department will provide to the 
International Trade Commission. Thus, the Department intends to issue 
the final results on or about December 10, 2004, in accordance with 
sections 751(c)(5)(B) and 751(c)(5)(C)(i), (ii) and (iii) of the Tariff 
Act of 1930, as amended.

    Dated: November 15, 2004.
James J. Jochum,
Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
