SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On August 31, 2005, the Department of Commerce (the Department) 
received timely requests for an administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on oil country tubular goods (OCTG) from Korea, 
with respect to SeAH Steel Corporation and Husteel Co., Ltd. On 
September 28, 2005, the Department published a notice of initiation of 
this administrative review for the period of August 1, 2004, through 
July 31, 2005. See Notice of Initiation of Antidumping and 
Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Requests for Revocation 
in Part, 70 FR 56631 (September 28, 2005).

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

[[Page 23898]]

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 is not practicable to complete the review 
within the foregoing time period.
    The Department finds that it is not practicable to complete the 
review by the current deadline of May 3, 2006, due to the complexity 
involved in calculating normal value, specifically the Department's 
calculations for constructed value (CV). We have requested additional 
information regarding selling expenses and profit for the computation 
of CV and we will need additional time to analyze the response and 
issue any supplemental questionnaires on this matter, if necessary. 
Therefore, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, the 
Department is extending the time limit for the preliminary results 
until no later than August 24, 2006, which is 358 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 published in accordance to sections 751(a)(1) and 
777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: April 18, 2006.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
