SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The Department of Commerce (the Department) published an 
antidumping duty order on stainless steel sheet and strip in coils 
(SSSSC) from the Republic of Korea on July 27, 1999. See Notice of 
Antidumping Duty Order; Stainless Steel Sheet and Strip in Coils From 
United Kingdom, Taiwan and South Korea, 64 FR 40555 (July 27, 1999). On 
August 29, 2005, the Department published a notice of initiation of an 
administrative review of the order on SSSSC from Korea for the period 
July 1, 2004, through June 30, 2005. See 70 FR 51009. The respondents 
in this administrative review are: Boorim Corporation, Dae Kyung 
Corporation, DaiYang Metal Co., Ltd., Dine Trading Co., Ltd., and Dosko 
Co., Ltd. On April 10, 2005, the Department published in the Federal 
Register its preliminary results. See Stainless Steel Sheet and Strip 
in Coils from the Republic of Korea; Preliminary Results and Partial 
Rescission of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 71 FR 18074 (Apr. 
10, 2006). The final results are currently due no later than August 8, 
2006.

Extension of the Time Limit for Final Results of Administrative Review

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 
Act) requires the Department to make a final determination in an 
administrative review within 120 days after the date on which the 
preliminary determination is published. However, if it is not 
practicable to complete the review within this time period, section 
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows the Department to extend the time limit 
for the final results to 180 days (or 300 days if the Department does 
not extend the time limit for the preliminary results) from the date of 
publication of the preliminary results.
    In accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, and 19 CFR 
351.213(h)(2), the Department finds that it is not practicable to 
complete the review within the original time frame because analysis of 
the issues presented in the case briefs, including the issue related to 
the U.S. price adjustment for countervailing duties imposed to offset 
export subsidies, requires additional time. Because it is not 
practicable to complete this administrative review within the time 
limit mandated by section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.213(h)(2), the Department is fully extending the time limit for 
completion of the final results to 300 days. Therefore, the final 
results are due no later than February 5, 2007, the next business day 
after 300 days from publication of the preliminary results.
    This notice is issued and published in accordance with section 
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.

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