SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The Department published the antidumping duty order on certain 
corrosion-resistant carbon steel flat products (CORE) from Canada on 
August 19, 1993 (58 FR 44162). Based on timely requests, in accordance 
with section 751(a) of the Act, on September 30, 2003, the Department 
initiated an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on 
CORE from Canada, covering the period August 1, 2002, through July 31, 
2003. See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews, Request for Revocation in Part and Deferral of 
Administrative Reviews, 68 FR 56262 (September 30, 2003). This 
administrative review was initiated on the following exporters: 
Continuous Colour Coat, Ltd. (``CCC''), Dofasco Inc. (``Dofasco''), 
Ideal Roofing Company, Ltd. (``Ideal Roofing''), Impact Steel Canada, 
Ltd. (``Impact Steel''), Russel Metals Export (``Russel Metals''), 
Sorevco and Company, Ltd. (``Sorevco''), and Stelco Inc. (``Stelco''). 
On December 19, 2003, the Department published a rescission, in part, 
of its administrative review with respect to CCC, Impact Steel, and 
Ideal Roofing. See Corrosion-Resistant Carbon Steel Flat Products From 
Canada: Rescission, in Part, of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 
68 FR 70764 (December 19, 2003). On March 30, 2004, the Department 
published a rescission, in part, of its administrative review with 
respect to Russell Metals. See Notice of Rescission, in Part, of 
Antidumping Duty Administrative Review: Corrosion-Resistant Carbon 
Steel Flat Products From Canada, 69 FR 16521 (March 30, 2004).
    On April 29, 2004, the Department extended the deadline for the 
preliminary results of this antidumping duty administrative review from 
May 2, 2004, until no later than August 30, 2004. See Notice of 
Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty 
Administrative Review: Corrosion-Resistant Carbon Steel Flat Products 
From Canada, 69 FR 23495 (April 29, 2004). On August 30, 2004, the 
Department issued the preliminary results on CORE from Canada. See 
Certain Corrosion-Resistant Carbon Steel Flat Products from Canada: 
Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 69 FR 
555138 (September 13, 2004) (Preliminary Results).

Extension of Time Limits for Final Results

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of 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 antidumping duty 
order for which a review is requested and issue the final results 
within 120 days after the date on which the preliminary results are 
published. However, 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.
    The Department recently received case briefs and rebuttal briefs 
from the interested parties involved in this administrative review. The 
Department has determined that it is not practicable to complete the 
review within the statutory time limit due to the need for analysis of 
certain complex issues, including the treatment of certain U.S. sales 
and considering whether the Department should accept certain ``surface 
type'' product characteristics reported by Dofasco for purposes of the 
Department's model match and cost reporting methodologies. Therefore, 
in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, the Department is 
extending the time limit for the final results from January 11, 2004, 
to no later than March 14, 2005, which is the next business day since 
180 days from the date of publication of the Preliminary Results occurs 
on a weekend. This notice is issued and published in accordance with 
section 751(a)(1) of the Act and section 351.213(h)(2) of the 
Department's regulations.

    Dated: December 28, 2004.

Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for AD/CVD Operations.
