Ni-Resist Piston Inserts From

Notice of Postponement of Preliminary 

Determination in the Countervailing 

Duty Investigations 

AGENCY: Import Administration,

DATES: Effective Date: March 20, 2009.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On February 23, 2009, the Department 

of Commerce (the Department) initiated 

the countervailing duty investigations of 

ni-resist piston inserts from Argentina 

and the Republic of Korea. See Ni-Resist 

Piston Inserts from Argentina and the 

Republic of Korea: Initiation of 

Countervailing Duty Investigations, 74 

FR 8054, and (February 23, 2009). 

Postponement of Due Date for 

Preliminary Determination 

Section 703(b)(1) of the Tariff Act of 

1930, as amended (the Act), requires the 

Department to issue the preliminary 

determination in a countervailing duty 

investigation within 65 days after the 

date on which the Department initiated 

the investigation. However, the 

Department may postpone making the 

preliminary determination until no later 

than 130 days after the date on which 

the administering authority initiated the 

investigation if, pursuant to section 

703(c)(1)(B)(i) of the Act, the 

Department concludes that the parties 

concerned in the investigation are 

cooperating and determines that the 

investigation is extraordinarily 

complicated or, pursuant to 

703(c)(1)(B)(ii) of the Act, the 

Department finds that ‘‘additional time 

is necessary to the make the preliminary 

determination.’’ 

In the Korean investigation, the 

Department is currently investigating a 

number of complex alleged subsidy 

programs including loans from stateowned banks and lending programs 

where state-owned banks are using 

commercial banks as a means of 

financing Korean manufacturers and 

exporters. In the Argentine 

investigation, on March 5, 2009, 

petitioner submitted to the Department 

timely new subsidy allegations.1 In that 

submission, currently under review by 

the Department, petitioner alleges that 

Clorindo Appo SRL (Clorindo), the 

mandatory respondent, received various 

energy rate subsidies, technical business 

assistance from an enterprise 

development center, government 

financing subsidies in the form of preexport and post-export loans, import 

financing, investment financing for 

small and medium-sized enterprises, 

and working capital credit from 

government banks. 

Due to the number and complexity of 

the alleged subsidy programs at issue in 

the Korean investigation and in light of 

the new subsidy allegations at issue in 

the Argentine investigation, we find that 

we require additional time to complete 

the preliminary determinations in the 

respective investigations. Therefore, in 

accordance with section 703(c)(1)(B)(ii) 

of the Act, we are fully extending the 

due date for the preliminary 

determinations to no later than 130 days 

after the day on which the 

investigations were initiated. The 

deadline for completion of the 

preliminary determinations is now June 

29, 2009. 

This notice is issued and published 

pursuant to section 703(c)(2) of the Act. 

Dated: March 16, 2009.

Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for 

Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 

Operations.

Certain Cut–to-Length Carbon Steel 

Plate from Ukraine; Final Results of 

Full Sunset Review of the Suspension 

Agreement 

AGENCY: Import Administration, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

ACTION: Notice of Final Results of the 

Full Sunset Review of the Suspension 

Agreement on Certain Cut–to-Length 

Carbon Steel Plate from Ukraine 

SUMMARY: 

On November 25, 2008, the 

Department of Commerce (‘‘the 

Department’’) published a notice of 

preliminary results of the full sunset 

review of the suspended antidumping 

duty investigation on certain cut–tolength carbon steel plate (‘‘CTL plate’’) 

from Ukraine pursuant to section 751(c) 

of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 

(‘‘the Act’’). See Certain Cut–to-Length 

Carbon Steel Plate from Ukraine; 

Preliminary Results of Full Sunset 

Review of the Suspension Agreement, 73 

FR 71603 (November 25, 2008) 

(‘‘Preliminary Results’’). We provided 

interested parties an opportunity to 

comment on our Preliminary Results. 

The Department did not receive 

comments from either domestic or 

respondent interested parties. As a 

result of this review, the Department 

continues to find that termination of the 

suspended antidumping duty 

investigation on CTL plate from Ukraine 

would likely lead to a continuation or 

recurrence of dumping at the levels 

indicated in the ‘‘Final Results of 

Review’’ section of this notice. 

EFFECTIVE DATE: March 20, 2009.
