SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On December 17, 2008, the Department of Commerce (the Department) 
issued the preliminary results of the administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on ASTM A-312 stainless steel pipe from South 
Korea. See Certain Welded Stainless Steel Pipes from the Republic of 
Korea: Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 
73 FR 79050 (December 24, 2008). The period of review is December 1, 
2006 through November 30, 2007. The final results for this 
administrative review are currently due no later than April 23, 2009.

Extension of Time Limit for Final Results

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 
Act), requires the Department to issue the preliminary results of an 
administrative review within 245 days after the last day of the 
anniversary month of an antidumping duty order for which a review is 
requested, and issue the final results within 120 days after the date 
on which the preliminary results are published. However, if the 
Department finds it is

[[Page 14960]]

not practicable to complete the review within the time period, section 
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows the Department to extend these deadlines 
to a maximum of 365 days and 180 days, respectively.
    The Department needs additional time due to conduct the constructed 
export price verification and to analyze cost of production issues. 
Therefore, the Department finds that it is not practicable to complete 
the final results of the review within the original time limit and is 
extending the deadline for the completion of the final results for the 
antidumping duty order on welded ASTM A-312 stainless steel pipe from 
South Korea from 120 to 180 days from the date of publication of the 
preliminary results. Accordingly, the final results will now be due no 
later than June 22, 2009.
    This notice is issued and published pursuant to sections 
751(a)(3)(A) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: March 27, 2009.
John M. Andersen,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Operations.
