SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The Department published an antidumping duty order on CTL Plate 
from Italy on February 10, 2000. See Notice of Amendment of Final 
Determinations of Sales at Less Than Fair Value and Antidumping Duty 
Orders: Certain Cut-To-Length Carbon-Quality Steel Plate Products from 
France, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan and the Republic of Korea, 65 FR 
6585 (February 10, 2000). Nucor Corporation, a domestic interested 
party, requested that the Department conduct an administrative review 
of the order. See Letter from Nucor Corporation, dated February 28, 
2005. On March 23, 2005, the Department published the initiation notice 
of the administrative review of the antidumping duty order on CTL Plate 
from Italy. See Initiation of Antidumping Duty and Countervailing Duty 
Reviews and Requests for Revocation in Part, 70 FR 14643 (March 23, 
2005). The deadline for issuing the preliminary results of 
administrative review is currently October 31, 2005.

Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the 
Act''), requires the Department to issue the preliminary results of an 
administrative review within 245 days after the last day of the 
anniversary month of an order for which a review is requested. If it is 
not practicable to complete the review within the time period, section 
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and section 351.213(h)(2) of the Department's 
regulations allow the Department to extend this deadline to a maximum 
of 365 days. In this case, the Department requires additional time to 
further analyze one respondent's claims about knowledge and the 
ultimate destination of subject imports. Therefore, the Department 
determines that it is not practicable to complete the review by October 
31, 2005. For this reason, we are extending the time limit for 
completing the preliminary results to no later than February 28, 2005, 
in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act. We intend to issue 
the final results of review no later than 120 days after publication of 
the notice of the preliminary results.
    This notice is being issued and published in accordance with 
section 751(a)(3)(A) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: October 13, 2005.
Holly A. Kuga,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretaryfor Import Administration.
