Structural Steel Beams From the Republic of Korea: Extension of
Final Results of the Antidumping Duty Administrative Review
AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
ACTION: Notice of postponement for the final determination of the
antidumping duty administrative review.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (``the Department'') is extending
the time limit for the final results of the antidumping duty
administrative review of structural steel beams (``SSB'') from the
Republic Korea.
EFFECTIVE DATE: November 12, 2003.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Aishe Allen or Michael Holton, AD/CVD
Enforcement Group III, Office 9, Import Administration, International
Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and
Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-
0172 or (202) 482-1324, respectively.
Background
On September 25, 2002, the Department published a notice of
initiation of this antidumping duty administrative review for the
period of August 1, 2001 through July 31, 2002. See Initiation of
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews, Requests
for Revocation in Part and Deferral of Administrative Reviews 67 FR
60210 (September 25, 2002).
On September 9, 2003, the Department published the preliminary
results of antidumping duty administrative review. See Preliminary
Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review: Structural Steel
Beams from the Republic of Korea, 68 FR 53129 (September 9, 2003)
(``Preliminary Results''). In the Preliminary Results we stated that we
would make our final determination for the antidumping duty
administrative review no later than 120 days after the date of
publication of the preliminary results, or not later than January 7,
2004.
Extension of Time Limit for Final Results
Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the
Act''), states that if it is not practicable to complete the review
within the time specified, the administrating authority may extend the
120-day period, following the date publication of the preliminary
results, to issues its final results by an additional 60 days.
Completion of the final results within the 120-day period is not
practicable due to the complexity of DSM's affiliation issue and INI's
ordinary course of trade issue.
Therefore, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, the
Department is extending the time limit for completion of these final
results to by 30 days until no later than February 6, 2003.
Dated: November 4, 2003.
Joseph Spetrini,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration, Group III.
