Certain Corrosion-Resistant Carbon Steel Flat Products and Certain Cut-to-Length Carbon Steel Plate From Canada: Extension of Time Limits for Preliminary Results of Antidumping Administrative Review

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

ACTION: Notice of Extension of Time Limits For Preliminary Results of Antidumping Administrative Review.

EFFECTIVE DATE: August 12, 1999.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Elfi Blum-Page, Mark Hoadley, or Maureen Flannery, AD/CVD Enforcement, Import Administration, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-0197, (202) 482-0666 or (202) 482-3020, respectively.

The Applicable Statute

Unless otherwise indicated, all citations to the statute are references to the provisions effective January 1, 1995, the effective date of the amendments made to the Tariff Act of 1930 (the Act) by the Uruguay Round Agreements Act. In addition, unless otherwise indicated, all citations to the Department's regulations are to the current regulations, codified at 19 CFR Part 351 (1999).

Background

On August 19, 1993, the Department published in the Federal Register (58 FR 44162) the antidumping duty orders on certain corrosion-resistant carbon steel flat products and certain cut-to- length carbon steel plate from Canada. Based on timely requests by petitioners and respondents in both proceedings, the Department published its initiation of these antidumping duty administrative reviews covering the period of August 1, 1997 through July 31, 1998 (63 FR 51893) on September 29, 1998.

Extension of Time Limits for Preliminary Results

Because of the complexities enumerated in the Memorandum from Joseph A. Spetrini to Robert S. LaRussa, Extension of Time Limit for the Preliminary Results of Antidumping Administrative Reviews: Certain Corrosion-Resistant Carbon Steel Flat Products and Certain Cut-to- Length Carbon Steel Plate From Canada, dated August 6, 1999, it is not practicable to complete these reviews within the time limits mandated by section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.

Therefore, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, the Department is extending the time limits for the preliminary results 10 days to August 16, 1999. The final results continue to be due 120 days after the publication of the preliminary results.

Dated: August 6, 1999. Richard O. Weible, Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for AD/CVD Enforcement, Group III.
