Notice of Extension of Time Limit for the Preliminary Results of

Length Carbon Steel Plate from Russia

AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.

ACTION: Notice of Extension of Time Limit for the Preliminary Results 
of Administrative Review of the Suspension Agreement on Certain Cut-to-
Length Carbon Steel Plate from Russia.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (the Department) is extending the 
time limit for the preliminary results of the administrative review on 
the suspension agreement on cut-to-length carbon steel plate from 
Russia.

EFFECTIVE DATE: October 1, 2007.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Sally Gannon or Jay Carreiro, Import 
Administration, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of 
Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 
20230, telephone: (202) 482-0162 or (202) 482-3674.

EXTENSION OF PRELIMINARY RESULTS:

    The Department published its notice of initiation of this review in 
the Federal Register on February 28, 2007. See Initiation of 
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews, 70 FR 8969 
(February 28, 2007). Pursuant to the time limits for administrative 
reviews set forth in section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 
amended (the Tariff Act), the current deadlines are October 3, 2007 for 
the preliminary results and January 31, 2008 for the final results.
    The Department finds that it is not practicable to complete the 
preliminary results by October 3, 2007. Because this is the first 
administrative review of this agreement since it was converted to a 
market-economy agreement in 2003, the Department needs additional time 
to complete its preliminary analysis. The Department must carefully 
consider the information submitted by JSC Severstal in this review and 
must address any novel issues which arise in the context of its 
examination of compliance with the suspension agreement's terms, a 
process which, to date, has not occurred in this segment of the 
proceeding. Therefore, the Department is extending the time limit for 
completing the preliminary results of the review until

January 31, 2008. The deadline for the final results of this review 
will continue to be 120 days after publication of the preliminary 
results.
    This extension is in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the 
Tariff Act.

    Dated: September 24, 2007.
