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. In addition, unless otherwise indicated,

all citations to the Department's regulations are to the current

regulations, codified at 19 CFR Part 351 (1999).

Background

On August 19, 1993, the Department published in the Federal

Register (58 FR 44162) the antidumping duty orders on certain

corrosion-resistant carbon steel flat products and certain cut-to-

length carbon steel plate from Canada. Based on timely requests by

petitioners and respondents in both proceedings, the Department

published its initiation of these antidumping duty administrative

reviews covering the period of August 1, 1997 through July 31, 1998 (63

FR 51893) on September 29, 1998.

Extension of Time Limits for Preliminary Results

Because of the complexities enumerated in the Memorandum from

Joseph A. Spetrini to Robert S. LaRussa, Extension of Time Limit for

the Preliminary Results of Antidumping Administrative Reviews: Certain

Corrosion-Resistant Carbon Steel Flat Products and Certain Cut-to-

Length Carbon Steel Plate From Canada, dated July 30, 1999, it is not

practicable to complete these reviews within the time limits mandated

by section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.

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

Department is extending the time limits for the preliminary results 7

days to August 6, 1999. The final results continue to be due 120 days

after the publication of the preliminary results.

Dated: July 30, 1999.

Joseph A. Spetrini,

Acting Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
