The Applicable Statute

Unless otherwise indicated, all citations to the statute are

references to the provisions effective January 1, 1995, the effective

date of the amendments made to the Tariff Act of 1930 (the Act) by the

Uruguay Round Agreements Act.

Background

The Department of Commerce (the Department) received a request from

petitioners and respondents to conduct an administrative review of the

antidumping duty order on corrosion-resistant carbon steel flat

products and cut-to-length carbon steel plate from Canada. On September

25, 1997 (62 FR 50292), the Department published its initiation of this

administrative review covering the period August 1, 1996 through July

31, 1997.

Extension of Time Limits for Preliminary Results

Because of the complexity of certain issues of this case, it is not

practicable to complete this review within the time limits mandated by

section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act. See Memorandum from Joseph A. Spetrini

to Robert S. LaRussa, Extension of Time Limit for the Administrative

Review of Corrosion-Resistant Carbon Steel Flat Products and Cut-to-

Length Carbon Steel Plate from Canada, dated February 12, 1998.

Therefore, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, the

Department is extending the time limits for the preliminary results

sixty days to July 3, 1998. The final determination continues to be due

120 days after the publication of the preliminary results.

Dated: February 12, 1998.

Joseph A. Spetrini,

Deputy Assistant Secretary for AD/CVD Enforcement III.
