SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On September 25, 2007, the U.S. Department of Commerce (``the 
Department'') published a notice of initiation of the administrative 
review of the countervailing duty order on corrosion-resistant carbon 
steel flat products from the Republic of Korea covering the period 
January 1, 2006, through December 31, 2006. See Initiation of 
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Requests 
for Revocation in Part, 72 FR 54428 (September 25, 2007). The 
preliminary results are currently due no later than May 2, 2008.

Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the 
Act''), requires the Department to make a preliminary determination 
within 245 days after the last day of the anniversary month of an order 
for which a review is requested. Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act 
further states that if it is not practicable to complete the review 
within the time period specified, the administering authority may 
extend the 245-day period to issue its preliminary results to up to 365 
days.
    Due to the complexity of the issues in this administrative review, 
such as direction of credit, we have determined that it is not 
practicable to complete the preliminary results of this review within 
the 245-day period. Therefore, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) 
of the Act, we are fully extending the time period for issuing the 
preliminary results of the review. The preliminary results are now due 
no later than September 2, 2008, the next business day after 365 days 
after the last day of the anniversary month of the order. The final 
results continue to be due 120 days after publication of the 
preliminary results.
    This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections 
751(a)(3)(A) and 777(i) of the Act.

    Dated: April 22, 2008.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
