Certain Cold-Rolled and Certain Corrosion-Resistant Carbon Steel Flat Products From Korea: Extension of Time Limit for Final Results of the Antidumping Duty Administrative Reviews

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

ACTION: Notice of extension of time limit for final results of antidumping duty administrative reviews.

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (``the Department'') is extending the time limit for the final results for the fourth reviews of certain cold-rolled and certain corrosion-resistant carbon steel flat products from Korea. These reviews cover the period August 1, 1996 through July 31, 1997. The extension is made pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended.

EFFECTIVE DATE: January 11, 1999.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Steve Bezirganian at (202) 482-0162 or Cindy Sonmez at (202) 482-3362; Office of AD/CVD Enforcement, Group III, Import Administration, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20230.

The Applicable Statute

Unless otherwise indicated, all citations to the Tariff Act of 1930 (``the Act'') are references to the provisions effective January 1, 1995, the effective date of the amendments made to the Act by the Uruguay Rounds Agreements Act.

Postponement of Final Results

On September 9, 1998, the Department published the preliminary results for this review. 63 FR 48173. Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act requires the Department to complete an administrative review within 120 days of publication of the preliminary results. However, if it is not practicable to complete the review within the 120-day time limit, section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows the Department to extend the time limit to180 days from the date of publication of the preliminary results. The Department has determined that it is not practicable to issue its final results within the original 120-day time limit (See Decision Memorandum from Joseph A. Spetrini to Robert LaRussa dated December 11, 1998). We are therefore extending the deadline for the final results in this review to 180 days from the date on which the notice of preliminary results was published. The fully extended deadline for the final results is March 8, 1999.

Dated: December 28, 1998. Richard O. Weible, Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary, Enforcement Group III.
