AGENCY: Background On September 28, 2005, 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 Korea, covering the period 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). The preliminary results of this review are currently due no later than May 3, 2006. Extension of Time Limit of 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 preliminaryresults by up to 120 days. We determine that completion of the preliminary results of this review within the 245-day period is not practicable for the following reasons. This review covers six companies, and to conduct the sales and cost analyses for each requires the Department to gather and analyze a significant amount of information pertaining to each company’s sales practices, manufacturing costs and corporate relationships. Given the number and complexity of issues in this case, and in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, we are extending the time E:\FR\FM\18APN1.SGM 18APN1 Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 74 / Tuesday, April 18, 2006 / Notices period for issuing the preliminary results of review by 100 days. Therefore, the preliminary results are now due no later than August 11, 2006. The final results continue to be due 120 days after publication of the preliminary results. Dated: April 11, 2006.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: hsrobinson on PROD1PC68 with NOTICES AGENCY: Background In November 2000, the Department of Commerce (‘‘Department’’) published its final results of the expedited sunset review on the antidumping duty order on Oil Country Tubular Goods (‘‘OCTG’’) from Argentina and other countries. See Final Results of Expedited Sunset Reviews: Oil Country Tubular Goods from Argentina, Italy, Japan, and Korea, 65 FR 66701 (Nov. 7, 2000) (‘‘Final Results’’). The Government of Argentina subsequently requested dispute resolution at the World Trade Organization (‘‘WTO’’) to consider, inter alia, its claims that the Final Results were inconsistent with the WTO Agreement on Implementation of Article VI of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade 1994 (‘‘AD Agreement’’). In its final report, the panel found, inter alia, that the Department’s original determination of dumping could not, by itself, represent a sufficient factual basis for concluding that dumping continued during the life of the order. Panel Report, United States—Sunset Review of Antidumping VerDate Aug<31>2005 15:03 Apr 17, 2006 Jkt 208001 Measures on Oil Country Tubular Goods From Argentina, WT/DS268/R (issued July 16, 2004). The Panel also concluded that application of the ‘‘deemed waiver’’ provisions of the Department’s regulations to Argentine exporters other than Siderca ‘‘invalidated’’ the Department’s orderwide likelihood determination. Id. The United States did not appeal the Panel’s finding concerning whether an original determination of dumping or continued collection of antidumping duties provided an adequate factual basis for finding likelihood, but did appeal the Panel’s conclusions concerning the waiver provisions. The Appellate Body affirmed the Panel’s conclusions concerning the waiver provisions and the Panel and Appellate Body reports were adopted on December 17, 2006. See id.; and Appellate Body Report, United States—Sunset Review of Antidumping Measures on Oil Country Tubular Goods From Argentina, WT/ DS268/AB/R (issued Nov. 29, 2004). Section 123 of the Uruguay Round Agreements Act (‘‘URAA’’) governs the process for changes to the Department’s regulations where a dispute settlement panel and/or the Appellate Body finds a regulatory provision to be inconsistent with any of the WTO agreements. Consistent with section 123(g)(1) of the URAA, on October 28, 2005, the Department published amendments to its regulations related to sunset reviews to conform the existing regulations tot he United States’ obligations under Articles 6.1, 6.2, and 11.3 of the Antidumping Agreement. See Final Rule; Procedures for Conducting FiveYear (‘‘Sunset’’) Reviews of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Orders, 70 FR 62061 (Oct. 28, 2005). That final rule, which was effective on October 31, 2005, amended the ‘‘waiver’’ provisions of the regulations governing treatment of interested parties who do not provide a complete substantive response to the Department’s notice of initiation of a sunset review and clarifies the basis for parties’ participation in a public hearing in an expedited sunset review. After following the preliminary procedures required under section 129 of the URAA, by letter dated October 31, 2005, the United States Trade Representative (‘‘USTR’’) requested that the Department issue a determination under section 129(b) of the URAA that would render the Department’s action in the sunset review not inconsistent with the recommendations and findings of the DSB. On December 16, 2005, the Department issued such a determination, and continued to determine that revocation of the order PO 00000 Frm 00025 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 19873 would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping. See Decision Memorandum, ‘‘Section 129 Determination: Final Results of Sunset Review, Oil Country Tubular Goods from Argentina,’’ (Dec. 16, 2005). Pursuant to section 129(b)(3) of the URAA, and following consultations with the Department and congressional committees, on March 16, 2006, USTR directed the Department to implement the Section 129 determination under section 129(b)(4) of the URAA. Implementation Accordingly, the Department is publishing this notice of its revised final results of sunset review with respect to OCTG from Argentina. Consistent with the recommendations and findings of the DSB, the revised final results reflect the Department’s analysis of whether revocation of the order would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping. A copy of the Decision Memorandum detailing the Section 129 determination is available online at https://ia.ita.doc.gov, and is also available in the Central Records Unit in room B–099 of the main Department building. This notice of implementation is issued and published in accordance with section 129(c)(2)(A) of the URAA. Dated: April 13, 2006. David M. Spooner, Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.

Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and 
Constitution Ave, NW., Washington, DC 20230.

Background

    On September 28, 2005, 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 Korea, covering the period 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). The preliminary results of this review are 
currently due no later than May 3, 2006.

Extension of Time Limit of 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 preliminaryresults by up to 120 
days.
    We determine that completion of the preliminary results of this 
review within the 245-day period is not practicable for the following 
reasons. This review covers six companies, and to conduct the sales and 
cost analyses for each requires the Department to gather and analyze a 
significant amount of information pertaining to each company's sales 
practices, manufacturing costs and corporate relationships. Given the 
number and complexity of issues in this case, and in accordance with 
section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, we are extending the time

period for issuing the preliminary results of review by 100 days. 
Therefore, the preliminary results are now due no later than August 11, 
2006. The final results continue to be due 120 days after publication 
of the preliminary results.

    Dated: April 11, 2006.
