SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On August 17, 1993, the Department published in the Federal 
Register the countervailing duty order on corrosion-resistant carbon 
steel flat products (CORE) from Korea.\1\ On August 1, 2011, the 
Department published a notice of ``Opportunity to Request 
Administrative Review'' of this countervailing duty order.\2\ In 
accordance with 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i), we published a notice of 
initiation of the administrative review on October 3, 2011, for the 
January 1, 2010, through December 31, 2010, period of review (POR).\3\ 
The preliminary results for this review are currently due no later than 
May 2, 2012.

Extension of Time Limits for Preliminary 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 order for which a review is requested and the 
final results of review within 120 days after the date on which the 
preliminary results are published. If it is 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.
    Because the Department will require additional time to review and 
analyze supplemental information concerning new subsidy programs 
alleged by petitioners, and may issue further supplemental 
questionnaires, it is not practicable to complete this review by the 
original deadline (i.e., May 2, 2012). Therefore, the Department is 
extending the time limit for completion of the preliminary results by 
120 days to not later than August 30, 2012, in accordance with section 
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.
    We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: March 16, 2012.
Gary Taverman,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Operations.
