Antidumping Duty Administrative Review: Corrosion-Resistant Carbon 
Steel Flat Products From Canada

AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.

EFFECTIVE DATE: April 22, 2005.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Candice Kenney Weck or Sean Carey, 
Office of AD/CVD Operations, Office 6, Import Administration, 
International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th 
Street and Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20230, at (202) 
482-0938 or (202) 482-3964, respectively.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

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 Dofasco Inc. (``Dofasco''), Impact Steel Canada, Ltd. 
(``Impact Steel''), and Stelco Inc. (``Stelco''). On September 22, 
2004, the Department published a notice of initiation of this 
administrative review for the period of August 1, 2003, through July 
31, 2004 (69 FR 56745). On April 7, 2005, the Department rescinded the 
administrative review of Impact Steel (70 FR 17648) because Impact 
Steel timely withdrew its request and no other party had requested an 
administrative review of Impact Steel. After this rescission, the 
companies still subject to review are Stelco and Dofasco.

Extension of Time Limits for Preliminary Results

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 
amended (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 both companies' cost 
calculations and Dofasco's various U.S. channels of distribution and 
sales terms, it is not practicable to complete this review by the 
current deadline of May 3, 2005. Therefore, in accordance with section 
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, the Department is extending the time limit for 
the preliminary results until August 31, 2005, which is 365 days after 
the last day of the anniversary month of the date of publication of the 
order. The final results continue to be due 120 days after the 
publication of the preliminary results, in accordance with section 
351.213 (h) of the Department's regulations.
    This notice is issued and published in accordance to sections 
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: April 15, 2005.
Barbara E. Tillman,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
