(DSM) and INI Steel Company (INI) along with petitioners, Nucor Corp., Nucor–Yamato Steel Co., Steel Dynamics, Inc., and Chaparral Steel Inc. (collectively, petitioners) to conduct an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on structural steel beams from the Republic of Korea. On September 28, 2005, the Department published a notice of initiation of this administrative review, covering the period of August 1, 2004 to July 31, 2005. See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Request for Revocation in Part, 70 FR 56631 (September 28, 2005).

PO 00000 Extension of Time Limits for Preliminary Results Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Tariff Act), requires the Department to complete 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. However, if it is not practicable to complete the review within these time periods, section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act allows the Department to extend the time limit for the preliminary results to a maximum of 365 days after the last day of the anniversary month of an order for which a review is requested. The Department has determined that it is not practicable to complete this administrative review within the time limit mandated by section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act. We require additional time to develop the record and examine DSM’s cost of production data and issues of affiliation. Regarding INI, further analysis is necessary with respect to certain movement expenses. Accordingly, the Department is extending the time limit for completion of the preliminary results of this administrative review to August 31, 2006, which is 365 days from the last day of the anniversary month. We intend to issue the final results no later than 120 days after publication of the preliminary results notice. This extension is issued and published in accordance with sections 751(a)(3)(A) and 777(i) of the Tariff Act.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background Information

    On September 28, 2005, the U.S. Department of Commerce (``the 
Department'') published a notice of initiation of the administrative 
reviews of the countervailing duty orders on corrosion-resistant carbon 
steel flat products from France and the Republic of Korea covering the 
period of review January 1, 2004, through December 31, 2004. See 
Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative 
Reviews and Requests for Revocation in Part, 70 FR 56631 (September 28, 
2005). The preliminary results are currently due no later than May 3, 
2006.

Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the 
Act''), requires the Department to make a preliminary determination 
within 245 days after the last day of the anniversary month of an order 
or finding 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 by up to 120 
days.
    We determine that completion of the preliminary results of these 
reviews within the 245-day period is not practicable for the following 
reason. These reviews are extraordinarily complicated because there are 
17 programs being examined in the review covering France and 16 
programs being examined in the review covering the Republic of Korea. 
Given the number of programs, which need to be thoroughly analyzed by 
the Department, and in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, 
we are extending the time period for issuing the preliminary results of 
reviews by 120 days. Therefore, the preliminary results are now due no 
later than August 31, 2006. The final results continue to be due 120 
days after publication of the preliminary results.
    This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections 
751(a)(3)(A) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: April 11, 2006.
