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 on

September 29, 1998 (63 FR 51893). On August 19, 1999, the Department

published the preliminary results of review (64 FR 45228).

Extension of Time Limits for Final Results

Because of the complexities enumerated in the Memorandum from

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

the Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Reviews of Certain

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

Length Carbon Steel Plate From Canada, dated December 17, 1999, it is

not practical 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 period for issuing the final results

of review until February 15, 2000.

Dated: December 17, 1999.

Joseph A. Spetrini,

Deputy Assistant Secretary, AD/CVD Enforcement Group III.
