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

EFFECTIVE DATE: February 28, 2006.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Stephanie Moore or David Goldberger, 
AD/CVD Operations, Import Administration, International Trade 
Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street & Constitution 
Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-3692 or (202)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Extension of Time Limits:

    On November 1, 2005, the Department of Commerce (``the 
Department'') initiated sunset reviews of the countervailing duty 
(``CVD'') order on certain corrosion-resistant carbon steel flat 
products (``CORE'') from France, pursuant to section 751(c) of the 
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the Act''). See Initiation of Five-
Year (Sunset) Reviews, 70 FR 65884 (November 1, 2005). Based on 
adequate responses from the domestic and respondent interested parties, 
the Department is conducting a full sunset review to determine whether 
revocation of the CVD order on CORE from France would lead to the 
continuation or recurrence of a countervailable subsidy. See section 19 
CFR 351.218(e)(2)(i) of the Act.
    In accordance with section 751(c)(5)(B) of the Act, the Department 
may extend the period of time for making its determination in a sunset 
review by not more than 90 days, if it determines that the review is 
extraordinarily complicated. As set forth in section 751(c)(5)(C)(v) of 
the Act, the Department may treat a sunset review as extraordinarily 
complicated if it is a review of a transition order. The sunset review 
subject to this notice is a review of a transition order. Therefore, 
the Department has determined, pursuant to section 751(c)(5)(C)(v) of 
the Act, that the sunset review of the CVD order on CORE from France is 
extraordinarily complicated and requires additional time for the 
Department to complete its analysis. Accordingly, the Department will 
extend the deadline in this proceeding, and, as a result, intends to 
issue the preliminary results of the sunset review of the CVD order on 
CORE from France on or about May 23, 2006, and the final results of 
that review on September 27, 2006. These dates are 90 days from the 
original scheduled dates of the preliminary and final results of this 
sunset review.
    This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections 
751(c)(5)(B) and (C) of the Act.

    Dated: February 21, 2006.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
