Constitution Ave, NW., Washington, DC 20230.

Background

    On September 28, 2005, the U.S. Department of Commerce 
(``Department'') published a notice of initiation of the administrative 
review of the antidumping duty order on corrosion resistant carbon 
steel flat products from Korea, covering the period August 1, 2004 to 
July 31, 2005. See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews and Request for Revocation in Part, 70 FR 56631 
(September 28, 2005). The preliminary results of this review are 
currently due no later than May 3, 2006.

Extension of Time Limit of Preliminary Results

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the 
Act''), requires the Department to make a preliminary determination 
within 245 days after the last day of the anniversary month of an order 
or finding for which a review is requested. Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the 
Act further states that if it is not practicable to complete the review 
within the time period specified, the administering authority may 
extend the 245-day period to issue its preliminaryresults by up to 120 
days.
    We determine that completion of the preliminary results of this 
review within the 245-day period is not practicable for the following 
reasons. This review covers six companies, and to conduct the sales and 
cost analyses for each requires the Department to gather and analyze a 
significant amount of information pertaining to each company's sales 
practices, manufacturing costs and corporate relationships. Given the 
number and complexity of issues in this case, and in accordance with 
section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, we are extending the time

period for issuing the preliminary results of review by 100 days. 
Therefore, the preliminary results are now due no later than August 11, 
2006. The final results continue to be due 120 days after publication 
of the preliminary results.

    Dated: April 11, 2006.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
