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). On September 
10, 2007, the Department published the preliminary results of this 
review. See Certain Corrosion Resistant Carbon Steel Flat Products from 
the Republic of Korea: Notice of Preliminary Results and Partial 
Rescission of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 72 FR 51584 
(September 10, 2007). The final results of this review are currently 
due no later than January 8, 2008.

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 issue final results within 120 days 
after the date on which the preliminary results are published. However, 
if it is not practicable to complete the review within that time 
period, section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows the Department to extend 
the time limit for the final results to a maximum of 180 days. See also 
19 CFR 351.213(h)(2).
    We determine that it is not practicable to complete the final 
results of this review within the original time limit. Several 
technical issues arose which require the collection and analyses of 
certain additional information after the preliminary results. 
Therefore, to allow sufficient time to collect and analyze the 
additional information, and to conduct the briefing process, the 
Department is fully extending the final results. The final results are 
now due not later than March 10, 2008, the next business day after 180 
days from publication of the preliminary results. The amended schedule 
for interested parties to submit case briefs, written comments, and/or 
hearing is not later than Monday, January 14, 2008. Rebuttal briefs are 
limited to issues raised in such briefs or comments and may be filed no 
later than five days after the time limit for filing the case briefs or 
comments. See 19 CFR 351.309(d). Any hearing, if requested, ordinarily 
will be held two days after the due date of the rebuttal briefs.
    This extension is in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the 
Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2).

    Dated: October 22, 2007.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
