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

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Victoria Cho, AD/CVD Operations,

Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-5075.

Background

    On September 29, 2010, 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, 2009, to July 31, 2010. See Initiation of Antidumping and 
Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Requests for Revocation 
in Part, 75 FR 60076 (September 29, 2010). The preliminary results of 
this review are currently due no later than May 3, 2011.

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 as well as the company requesting revocation. Given the number 
and complexity of issues in this case, in accordance with section 
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, we are fully extending by 120 days the time 
period for issuing the preliminary results of review. Therefore, the 
preliminary results are now due no later than August 31, 2011. 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 11, 2011.
Gary Taverman,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Operations.
