DATES: Effective Date: April 14, 2011.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Gayle Longest, AD/CVD Operations,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On August 17, 1993, the Department published in the Federal 
Register the countervailing duty order on corrosion-resistant carbon 
steel flat products (CORE) from Korea. See Countervailing Duty Orders 
and Amendments of Final Affirmative Countervailing Duty Determinations: 
Certain Steel Products from Korea, 58 FR 43752 (August 17, 1993). On 
August 2, 2010, the Department published a notice of ``Opportunity to 
Request Administrative Review'' of this countervailing duty order. See 
Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or Suspended 
Investigation; Opportunity to Request Administrative Review, 75 FR 
45094 (August 2, 2010). In accordance with 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i), we 
published a notice of initiation of the administrative review on 
September 29, 2010, for the January 1, 2009, through December 31, 2009, 
period of review (POR). See Initiation of Antidumping and 
Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Requests for Revocation 
in Part, 75 FR 60076 (September 29, 2010). The preliminary results for 
this review are currently due no later than May 3, 2011.

Extension of Time Limits for Preliminary Results

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 
Act), requires the Department to issue the preliminary results of an 
administrative review within 245 days after the last day of the 
anniversary month of an order for which a review is requested and the 
final results of review within 120 days after the date on which the 
preliminary results are published. If it is not practicable to complete 
the review within the time period, section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act 
allows the Department to extend these deadlines to a maximum of 365 
days and 180 days, respectively.
    Because the Department will require additional time to review and 
analyze supplemental information expected from the Government of Korea 
and the respondent, Hyundai HYSCO Ltd., and may issue further 
supplemental questionnaires, it is not practicable to complete this 
review by the original deadline (i.e., May 3, 2011). Therefore, the 
Department is extending the time limit for completion of the 
preliminary results by 120 days to not later than August 31, 2011, in 
accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.
    We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: April 8, 2011.
Gary Taverman,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Operations.
