Download as PDF 60800 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 207 / Friday, October 26, 2007 / Notices This extension is in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2). SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background On September 29, 2006, 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, 2005 to July 31, 2006. See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews, 71 FR 57465 (September 29, 2006). On September 10, 2007, the Department published the preliminary results of this review. See Certain Corrosion Resistant Carbon Steel Flat Products from the Republic of Korea: Notice of Preliminary Results and Partial Rescission of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 72 FR 51584 (September 10, 2007). The final results of this review are currently due no later than January 8, 2008. rmajette on PROD1PC64 with NOTICES 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 issue final results within 120 days after the date on which the preliminary results are published. However, if it is not practicable to complete the review within that time period, section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows the Department to extend the time limit for the final results to a maximum of 180 days. See also 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2). We determine that it is not practicable to complete the final results of this review within the original time limit. Several technical issues arose which require the collection and analyses of certain additional information after the preliminary results. Therefore, to allow sufficient time to collect and analyze the additional information, and to conduct the briefing process, the Department is fully extending the final results. The final results are now due not later than March 10, 2008, the next business day after 180 days from publication of the preliminary results. The amended schedule for interested parties to submit case briefs, written comments, and/or hearing is not later than Monday, January 14, 2008. Rebuttal briefs are limited to issues raised in such briefs or comments and may be filed no later than five days after the time limit for filing the case briefs or comments. See 19 CFR 351.309(d). Any hearing, if requested, ordinarily will be held two days after the due date of the rebuttal briefs.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On April 6, 2007, the Department of Commerce (the Department) 
published notices of initiation of the administrative reviews of the 
antidumping duty orders on certain frozen warmwater shrimp from Brazil, 
Ecuador, India, and Thailand, and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam 
(Vietnam), covering the period February 1, 2006, through January 31, 
2007. See Notice of Initiation of Administrative Reviews of the 
Antidumping Duty Orders on Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp from Brazil, 
Ecuador, India, and Thailand, 72 FR 17100 (April 6, 2007); and Notice 
of Initiation of Administrative Reviews of the Antidumping Duty Orders 
on Frozen Warmwater Shrimp from the Socialist Republic of Vietnam and 
the People's Republic of China, 72 FR 17095 (April 6, 2007).
    In July 2007, after issuing quantity and value questionnaires and 
receiving responses, the Department selected mandatory respondents in 
each of the above-mentioned administrative reviews. See the July 17, 
2007, Memoranda from James Maeder to Stephen J. Claeys entitled: 
``Antidumping Duty Administrative Review of Certain Frozen Warmwater 
Shrimp from India: Selection of Respondents for Individual 
Review; and ``Antidumping Duty Administrative Review of 
Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp from Thailand: Selection of Respondents 
for Individual Review; the July 18, 2007, Memorandum from 
James C. Doyle to Stephen J. Claeys entitled: ``Antidumping Duty 
Administrative Review of Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp from the 
Socialist Republic of Vietnam: Selection of Respondents; the 
July 19, 2007, Memoranda from James Maeder to Stephen J. Claeys 
entitled: ``Antidumping Duty Administrative Review of Certain Frozen 
Warmwater Shrimp from Brazil: Selection of Respondents for Individual 
Review; and ``Antidumping Duty Administrative Review of 
Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp from Ecuador: Selection of Respondents 
for Individual Review.''
    In August and September 2007, the Department rescinded the Brazil, 
Ecuador, and Thailand administrative reviews with respect to certain 
companies. See Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp from Brazil: Partial 
Rescission of the Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 72 FR 48616 
(August 24, 2007); Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp from Ecuador: 
Partial Rescission of the Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 72 FR 
48616 (August 24, 2007); and Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp from 
Thailand; Partial Rescission of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 
72 FR 50931 (September 5, 2007).

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 in an 
administrative review within 245 days after the last day of the 
anniversary month of an order or finding for which a review is 
requested. Consistent with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, the 
Department may extend the 245-day period to 365 days if it is not 
practicable to complete the review within a 245-day period. The 
deadline for the preliminary results of these reviews is currently 
October 31, 2007.
    The Department determines that completion of the preliminary 
results of these administrative reviews within the statutory time 
period is not practicable.

[[Page 60801]]

Due to the additional time needed for respondent selection, the 
Department was unable to issue its initial antidumping duty 
questionnaires to the selected companies until July 2007 in each of 
these administrative reviews. The Department thus requires additional 
time to conduct its analysis for each company in each of these reviews. 
Therefore, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) the Act, we are 
extending the time period for issuing the preliminary results of these 
reviews by 120 days, until February 28, 2008. The final results 
continue to be due 120 days after the publication of the preliminary 
results.
    This notice is published pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the 
Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2).

    Dated: October 22, 2007.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
