SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On August 31, 2006, the Department of Commerce (the Department) 
received timely requests for an administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on oil country tubular goods, other than drill 
pipe (OCTG) from Korea, with respect to SeAH Steel Corporation, Husteel 
Co., Ltd, and Nexteel Co., Ltd. On September 29, 2006, the Department 
published a notice of initiation of this administrative review for the 
period of August 1, 2005 through July 31, 2006. See Notice of 
Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative 
Reviews, 71 FR 57465 (September 29, 2006).

Extension of Time Limit 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 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 
preliminary results by the current deadline of May 3, 2007 because this 
is Nexteel Co., Ltd.'s first appearance under this antidumping duty 
order and additional time is needed to analyze this company's 
information. We have also requested additional information from the 
respondents and we will need more

time to analyze the responses and issue any supplemental 
questionnaires, 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 31, 2007, which is 
365 days after the last day of the anniversary month of the date of 
publication of the order. Unless extended, the final results continue 
to be due 120 days after the publication of the preliminary results, 
pursuant to section 351.213(h) of the Department's regulations.
    This notice is issued and published in accordance to sections 
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: April 30, 2007.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
