SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On September 29, 2006, 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, 2005 to 
July 31, 2006. See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews, 71 FR 57465 (September 29, 2006). The 
preliminary results of this review are currently due no later than May 
3, 2007.

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

[[Page 19689]]

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 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 three companies, and to conduct the sales 
and cost analyses for each company requires the Department to gather, 
analyze and verify 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 120 days. Therefore, the preliminary results are now due no later 
than August 31, 2007. The final results continue to be due 120 days 
after publication of the preliminary results.

    Dated: April 11, 2007.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
