SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On September 22, 2004, the Department of Commerce (``the 
Department'') published in the Federal Register the notice of 
initiation of the administrative review of the antidumping duty order 
on oil country tubular goods, other than drill pipe, from Korea, 
covering the period August 1, 2003, through July 31, 2004 (69 FR 
56745). On September 8, 2005, the Department published the preliminary 
results of this administrative review. See Oil Country Tubular Goods, 
Other Than Drill Pipe, from Korea: Preliminary Results of Antidumping 
Duty Administrative Review (70 FR 53340).

Extension of Time Limits for Final 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 antidumping duty order for which a review is 
requested and issue the final results within 120 days after the date on 
which the preliminary results are published. However, if the Department 
finds it is not practicable to complete the review within the time 
period, section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows the Department to extend 
these deadlines to a maximum of 365 days and 180 days, respectively.
    Due to the complexity of issues related to the cost of production 
and because the Department intends to verify respondents' SeAH Steel 
Corporation's and Husteel Company, Ltd's. questionnaire responses, the 
Department finds that it is not practicable to complete the final 
results in this administrative review of oil country tubular goods, 
other than drill pipe, from Korea by January 6, 2006. Therefore, the 
Department is extending the time limit for completion of the final 
results until no later than March 7, 2006, in accordance with section 
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.
    We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(1), 751(a)(3)(A), and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: November 10, 2005.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretaryfor Import Administration.
