EFFECTIVE DATE: August 30, 2007.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On March 27, 2007, the Department of Commerce (the Department) 
published a notice of initiation of a new shipper review of the 
antidumping duty order on corrosion-resistant carbon steel flat 
products from Korea covering the period August 1, 2006, through January 
31, 2007. See Corrosion-Resistant Carbon Steel Flat Products from 
Korea: Notice of Initiation of Antidumping Duty New Shipper Review for 
the period August 1, 2006, through January 31, 2007, 72 FR 14260 (March 
27, 2007). The preliminary results are currently due no later than 
September 17, 2007.

Extension of Time Limit of Preliminary Results

    Section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 
Act), requires the Department to issue the preliminary results of a new 
shipper review within 180 days of the date it was initiated. However, 
if the Department concludes that the case is extraordinarily 
complicated, it may extend the 180-day period to 300 days. Based on an 
allegation filed by the petitioner, we initiated a sales-below-cost 
investigation on July 6, 2007, and received the response to section D 
of the questionnaire on August 10, 2007. To allow sufficient time to 
analyze the sales and cost data and issue supplemental questionnaires, 
we must extend the time limit to complete the preliminary results of 
this review. Furthermore, the Department requires additional time to 
fully analyze the bona fides of Haewon's U.S. shipment, examine its 
sales processes, and analyze its cost questionnaire responses. Given 
the complexity of this case, and in accordance with section 
751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act, we are extending the time limit for 
issuing the preliminary results of review until January 15, 2008, which 
is 300 days after the date of initiation of this review. The deadline 
for the final results of this review will continue to be 90 days after 
publication of the preliminary results.
    This extension is issued and published in accordance with sections 
751(a)(2)(B)(iv) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.214(I)(2).

    Dated: August 23, 2007.
Gary Taverman,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
