Corrosion-resistant Carbon Steel Flat Products From the Republic 
of Korea: Extension of Time Limits for the Preliminary Results of 
Antidumping Duty Administrative Review

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

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Chris Hargett, AD/CVD Operations, 
Office 3, Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
U.S. Department of Commerce, 14\th\ Street and Constitution Ave, NW, 
Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-5973.

Background

    On September 30, 2008, 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 the Republic of Korea, covering the period 
August 1, 2007 to July 31, 2008. See Initiation of Antidumping and 
Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Requests for Revocation 
in Part, 73 FR 56795 (September 30, 2008). The preliminary results of 
this review are currently due no later than May 3, 2009.

Extension of Time Limit of Preliminary Results

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the 
Act''), requires that the Department 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.
    We determine that completion of the preliminary results of this 
review within the 245-day period is not practicable. Additional time is 
needed to gather and analyze a significant amount of information 
pertaining to sales practices, manufacturing costs and corporate 
relationships pertaining to each company participating in the review. 
Given the number and complexity of issues in this case, and in 
accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, we are fully extending 
the time period for issuing the preliminary results of review. 
Therefore, the preliminary results are now due no later than August 31, 
2009. The final results continue to be due 120 days after publication 
of the preliminary results.
    This notice is published pursuant to sections 751(a)(3)(A) and 
777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: April 21, 2009.
John M. Andersen,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Operations.
