Russian steel producers/exporters, including J.S.C. Severstal 
(Severstal), which suspended the antidumping duty investigation on 
certain cut-to-length carbon steel plate (CTL plate) from Russia. See 
Suspension of Antidumping Duty Investigation: Certain Cut-to-Length 
Carbon Steel Plate from the Russian Federation, 68 FR 3859 (January 27, 
2003).
    On January 31, 2007, Nucor submitted a request for an 
administrative review pursuant to Antidumping or Countervailing Duty

results of this review until January 31, 2008. See Notice of Extension 
of Time Limit for the Preliminary Results of Administrative Review of 
the Suspension Agreement on Certain Cut-to-Length Carbon Steel Plate

four faces or in a closed box pass, of a width exceeding 150 mm but not 
exceeding 1250 mm and of a thickness of not less than 4 mm, not in 
coils and without patterns in relief), of rectangular shape, neither

of the Agreement. Furthermore, the Department has not received any 
comments on the matter from Nucor nor any other interested party, 
either prior or subsequent to the issuance of the Preliminary Results.
