Postponement of Due Date for
Preliminary Determination
Section 703(b)(1) of the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended (the Act), requires the
Department to issue the preliminary
determination in a countervailing duty
investigation within 65 days after the
date on which the Department initiated
the investigation. However, the
Department may postpone making the
preliminary determination until no later
than 130 days after the date on which
the administering authority initiated the
investigation if, pursuant to section
703(c)(1)(B)(i) of the Act, the
Department concludes that the parties
concerned in the investigation are
cooperating and determines that the
investigation is extraordinarily
complicated or, pursuant to
703(c)(1)(B)(ii) of the Act, the
Department finds that ‘‘additional time
is necessary to the make the preliminary
determination.’’
In the Korean investigation, the
Department is currently investigating a
number of complex alleged subsidy
programs including loans from stateowned banks and lending programs
where state-owned banks are using
commercial banks as a means of
financing Korean manufacturers and
exporters. In the Argentine
investigation, on March 5, 2009,
petitioner submitted to the Department
timely new subsidy allegations.1 In that
submission, currently under review by
the Department, petitioner alleges that
Clorindo Appo SRL (Clorindo), the
mandatory respondent, received various
energy rate subsidies, technical business
assistance from an enterprise
development center, government
financing subsidies in the form of preexport and post-export loans, import
financing, investment financing for
small and medium-sized enterprises,
and working capital credit from
government banks.
Due to the number and complexity of
the alleged subsidy programs at issue in
the Korean investigation and in light of
the new subsidy allegations at issue in
the Argentine investigation, we find that
we require additional time to complete
the preliminary determinations in the
respective investigations. Therefore, in
accordance with section 703(c)(1)(B)(ii)
of the Act, we are fully extending the
due date for the preliminary
determinations to no later than 130 days
after the day on which the
investigations were initiated. The

SUMMARY:
On November 25, 2008, the

Department’’) published a notice of
preliminary results of the full sunset
review of the suspended antidumping
duty investigation on certain cut–tolength carbon steel plate (‘‘CTL plate’’)
from Ukraine pursuant to section 751(c)

FR 71603 (November 25, 2008)
(‘‘Preliminary Results’’). We provided
interested parties an opportunity to
comment on our Preliminary Results.
The Department did not receive
comments from either domestic or
respondent interested parties. As a
result of this review, the Department

recurrence of dumping at the levels
indicated in the ‘‘Final Results of
Review’’ section of this notice.

On November 25, 2008, the
Department published in the Federal
Register a notice of preliminary results
of the full sunset review of the
suspended antidumping duty
investigation on CTL plate from
Ukraine, pursuant to section 751(c) of
the Act. See Preliminary Results, 73 FR
71603. In our Preliminary Results, we
found that the termination of the
suspended antidumping duty
investigation on CTL plate from Ukraine
would be likely to lead to a continuation
or recurrence of dumping at the margins
determined in the final determination of
the original investigation. Id. We
provided interested parties an
opportunity to comment on our
Preliminary Results. Id. We did not
receive comments from either domestic
or respondent interested parties.
Scope of Review
The products covered by the

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 clad, plated nor coated with
metal, whether or not painted,
varnished, or coated with plastics or
other nonmetallic substances; and
certain iron and non–alloy steel flat–

whether or not painted, varnished, or
