Certain Hot-Rolled Carbon Steel Flat Products From India: Notice

Review

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

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: John Conniff at (202) 482-1009, AD/CVD 
Operations, Office 3, Import Administration, International Trade 
Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and

Background

    On December 1, 2006, the Department published a notice of 
opportunity to request an administrative review of this CVD order. See 
Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or Suspended 
Investigation; Opportunity to Request Administrative Review, 71 FR 
69543 (December 1, 2006) (Opportunity to Request Review).\1\ On January 
9, 2008, the Department published the preliminary results of this 
review. See Certain Hot-Rolled Carbon Steel Flat Products from India: 
Notice of Preliminary Results of Countervailing Duty Administrative 
Review, 73 FR 1578 (January 9, 2008). The final results of this review 
are currently due no later than May 8, 2008.

    \1\ On December 18, 2006, we published a correction to the 
notice of Opportunity to Request Review to correct the POR. See

Extension of Time Limit of Final 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

[[Page 12079]]

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 after the preliminary results which require the 
collection and analyses of certain additional information and 
verification of the information. 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 July 7, 2008, 180 days 
from publication of the preliminary results. The amended schedule for 
interested parties to submit case briefs, written comments, and/or 
request a hearing is not later than seven days after the release of the 
last verification report. 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: February 29, 2008.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
