SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On January 23, 2008, the Department published the preliminary 
results of the new shipper review of the antidumping duty order on 
certain corrosion-resistant carbon steel products (CORE) from the 
Republic of Korea. See Certain Corrosion-Resistant Carbon Steel Flat 
Products from the Republic of Korea: Notice of Preliminary Results of 
Antidumping Duty New Shipper Review, 73 FR 3925 (January 23, 2008). The 
final results are currently due no later than April 14, 2008.

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 final results of a new 
shipper review within 90 days after the date on which the preliminary 
results were issued. However, if the Department concludes that the case 
is extraordinarily complicated, it may extend the 90-day period to 150 
days. Interested parties raised several complex issues pertaining to 
Haewon MSC Co., Ltd.'s cost of production and financial ratios that 
require a significant amount of analysis by the Department. Given the 
complex issues raised by the parties in their comments on our 
preliminary results, and in accordance with section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of 
the Act, we are extending the time period for issuing the final results 
of review to 150 days after the publication of the preliminary results. 
Therefore, as that day falls on a Saturday, the final results are now 
due no later than June 23, 2008, the next business day.
    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: April 9, 2008.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
