Applicable Statute and Regulations

Unless otherwise indicated, all

citations to the Tariff Act of 1930, as

amended (the Tariff Act), are references

to the provisions effective January 1,

1995, the effective date of the

amendments made to the Tariff Act by

the Uruguay Round Agreements Act

(URAA). In addition, unless otherwise

indicated, all citations to the

Department’s regulations are to the

regulations codified at 19 CFR part 351

(April 2000).

Postponement of Final Determination

and Extension of Provisional Measures

On May 3, 2001, the Department

published the affirmative preliminary

determination for the investigation of

certain hot-rolled carbon steel flat

products from the Netherlands. See

Notice of Preliminary Determination of

Sales at Less Than Fair Value: Certain

Hot-Rolled Carbon Steel Flat Products

from the Netherlands, 66 FR 22146 (May

3, 2001). Pursuant to section 735(a)(2) of

the Tariff Act and section

351.210(b)(2)(ii) of the Department’s

regulations, on May 22, 2001,

respondent the Corus Group plc. (Corus)

requested that the Department extend

the final determination for the full sixty

days as permitted by the statute and

regulations, and extend provisional

measures (i.e., suspension of

liquidation) from a four-month period to

a period not to exceed six months,

pursuant to 19 CFR 351.210(e)(2).

Section 735(a)(2) of the Tariff Act

provides that a final determination may

be postponed until not later than 135

days after the date of the publication of

the preliminary determination if, in the

event of an affirmative determination, a

request for such postponement is made

by exporters who account for a

significant proportion of exports of the

subject merchandise, or in the event of

a negative preliminary determination, a

request for such postponement is made

by petitioner. The Department’s

regulations, at 19 CFR 351.210(e)(2),

require that requests by respondents for

postponement of a final determination

be accompanied by a request for

extension of provisional measures from

a four-month period to not more than

six months.

In accordance with 19 CFR

351.210(b)(2)(ii), because (1) our

preliminary determination is

affirmative, (2) the respondent

requesting a postponement accounts for

a significant proportion of exports of the

subject merchandise, and (3) no

compelling reasons for denial exist, we

are granting Corus’ request and are

postponing the final determination to no

later than September 15, 2001, which is

135 days after the publication of the

preliminary determination in the

Federal Register. Suspension of

liquidation will be extended

accordingly.

This notice of postponement is

published pursuant to 19 CFR

351.210(b)(2).

Dated: June 4, 2001.

Assistant Secretary for Import

Administration.
