SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

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). On April 18, 2006, the Department published a 
notice of extension for the preliminary results of this review, 
extending the time for issuing the preliminary results by 100 days to 
August 11, 2006. See Notice of Extension of Time Limits for the 
Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 71 FR 
19872 (April 18, 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 preliminary results to a maximum 
of 365 days.
    We determine that completion of the preliminary results of this 
review by August 11, 2006, is not practicable because the Department 
requires additional time to analyze supplemental questionnaire 
responses and comments recently filed by petitioners and respondents 
participating in this review. Therefore, in accordance with section 
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, we are extending the time period for issuing 
the preliminary results to the full 365-day period. Therefore, the 
preliminary results are now due no later than August 31, 2006. The 
final results continue to be due 120 days after publication of the 
preliminary results.
    This notice is published in accordance with sections 751(a)(3) and 
777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: August 10, 2006.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretaryfor Import Administration.
