or the first working day thereafter. 

Interested parties may submit case briefs 

no later than 30 days after the date of 

publication of this preliminary notice. 

See 19 CFR § 351.309(c)(ii). Rebuttal 

briefs, limited to issues raised in such 

briefs, may be filed no later than five 

days after the time limit for filing the 

case brief 19 CFR § 351.309(d). Parties 

who submit arguments are requested to 

submit with the argument (1) a 

statement of the issue, (2) a brief 

summary of the argument, and (3) a 

table of authorities. Further, parties 

submitting written comments should 

provide the Department with an 

additional copy of the public version of 

any such comments on diskette. The 

Department will issue the final notice, 

which will include the results of its 

analysis of issues raised in any such 

comments, or at a hearing, if requested, 

within 120 days of publication of this 

preliminary notice. 

Extension of Time Limit of Preliminary 

Results 

The preliminary results of this review 

are currently due no later than June 2, 

2009. Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff 

Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), 

requires the Department to make a 

preliminary determination in an 

administrative review within 245 days 

after the last day of the anniversary 

month of an order or finding for which 

a review is requested. Consistent with 

section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, the 

Department may extend the 245-day 

period to 365 days if it is not practicable 

to complete the review within a 245-day 

period. 

We determine that completion of the 

preliminary results of this review within 

the 245-day period is not practicable. 

Specifically, on January 8, 2009, 

Watanabe claimed that it did not export 

subject merchandise to the United 

States during the POR. However, based 

on our internal Customs data query, we 

found that Watanabe made shipments to 

the United States during the POR, 

which entered under the HTSUS 

numbers for subject merchandise.1

Therefore, we requested that Watanabe 

respond to the Department’s 

questionnaire. The issue raised by 

Watanabe has resulted in a delay in 

Watanabe’s response to the 

Department’s questionnaire. In addition, 

we need additional time to thoroughly 

review the response to the original 

questionnaire and to allow time to issue 

supplemental questionnaires, if deemed 

necessary. 

Therefore, we are extending the time 

period for issuing the preliminary 

results of review by 120 days to 

September 30, 2009, in accordance with 

section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 

CFR § 351.213(h)(2). The preliminary 

results are now due no later than 

September 30, 2009. The final results 

continue to be due 120 days after 

publication of the preliminary results. 

Assessment 

The Department will instruct U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to 

assess antidumping duties on all 

appropriate entries. For the company for 

which this review is rescinded, 

antidumping duties shall be assessed at 

rates equal to the cash deposit of 

estimated 

antidumping duties required at the 

time of entry, or withdrawal from 

warehouse, for consumption, in 

accordance with 19 CFR 

§ 351.212(c)(1)(i). 

This notice is issued and published in 

accordance with sections 751(a)(1), 

751(a)(3)(A) , and 777(i)(1) of the Act, 

and 19 CFR § 351.213(d)(4).

Background 

On December 1, 2008, the Department 

published a notice of opportunity to 

request an administrative review of the 

countervailing duty order on honey 

from Argentina. See Antidumping or 

Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or 

Suspended Investigation; Opportunity 

To Request Administrative Review, 73 

FR 72764 (December 1, 2008). On 

December 31, 2008, the American 

Honey Producers Association and the 

Sioux Honey Association (petitioners) 

timely requested an administrative 

review of the countervailing duty order 

on honey from Argentina for the period 

January 1, 2008 through December 31, 

2008. In accordance with 19 CFR 

351.221(c)(1)(i), the Department 

published a notice initiating an 

administrative review of the 

countervailing duty order on honey 

from Argentina. See Initiation of 

Antidumping and Countervailing Duty

for Revocation in Part, 74 FR 5821 

(February 2, 2009). 

Rescission of Countervailing Duty 

Administrative Review 

The Department’s regulations provide 

that the Department will rescind an 

administrative review if the party that 

requested the review withdraws its 

request for review within 90 days of the 

date of publication of the notice of 

initiation. See 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1). On 

February 27, 2009, petitioners submitted 

a letter withdrawing their request of the 

review within the 90-day deadline. No 

other party requested a review of the 

order. Therefore, the Department is 

rescinding this administrative review of 

the countervailing duty order on honey 

from Argentina for the period January 1, 

2008 through December 31, 2008. The 

Department intends to issue appropriate 

assessment instructions to U.S. Customs 

and Border Protection 15 days after the 

date of publication of this notice.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background: On February 4, 2009, the 

Department of Commerce (the 

Department) published a notice of 

opportunity to request an administrative 

review of the countervailing duty order 

on certain cut-to-length carbon-quality 

steel plate from Korea. See Antidumping 

or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, 

or Suspended Investigation; 

Opportunity to Request Administrative 

Review, 74 FR 6013 (February 4, 2009). 

On February 27, 2009, Dongkuk Steel 

Mill Co., Ltd. (DSM) (respondent) 

requested that the Department conduct 

an administrative review of the 

countervailing duty order on certain 

cut-to-length carbon-quality steel plate 

from Korea with respect to DSM for the 

period of January 1, 2008, through 

December 31, 2008, and revoke the 

above-referenced countervailing duty 

order with respect to DSM based on the 

absence of subsidies for at least five 

consecutive years. Pursuant to this 

request, the Department published a 

notice of the initiation of the 

administrative review of the 

countervailing duty order on certain 

cut-to-length carbon-quality steel plate 

from Korea with respect to the sole 

respondent, DSM. See Initiation of 

Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 

Administrative Reviews and Request for 

Revocation in Part. 74 FR 12310 (March 

24, 2009). Pursuant to section 19 CFR 

351.213(d)(1), on May 12, 2009, DSM 

withdrew its request for a review. 

Scope of Order 

The products covered by this order 

are certain hot-rolled carbon–quality 

steel: (1) universal mill plates (i.e., flatrolled products rolled on four faces or 

in a closed box pass, of a width 

exceeding 150 mm but not exceeding 

1250 mm, and of a nominal or actual 

thickness of not less than 4 mm, which 

are cut-to-length (not in coils) and 

without patterns in relief), of iron or 

non-alloy-quality steel; and (2) flatrolled products, hot-rolled, of a nominal 

or actual thickness of 4.75 mm or more 

and of a width which exceeds 150 mm 

and measures at least twice the 

thickness, and which are cut-to-length 

(not in coils). Steel products to be 

included in the scope of the order are 

of rectangular, square, circular or other 

shape and of rectangular or nonrectangular cross-section where such 

non-rectangular cross-section is 

achieved subsequent to the rolling 

process (i.e., products which have been 

‘‘worked after rolling’’)—for example, 

products which have been beveled or 

rounded at the edges. Steel products 

that meet the noted physical 

characteristics that are painted, 

varnished or coated with plastic or other 

non-metallic substances are included 

within this scope. Also, specifically 

included in the scope of the order are 

high strength, low alloy (HSLA) steels. 

HSLA steels are recognized as steels 

with micro-alloying levels of elements 

such as chromium, copper, niobium, 

titanium, vanadium, and molybdenum. 

Steel products to be included in this 

scope, regardless of Harmonized Tariff 

Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) 

definitions, are products in which: (1) 

iron predominates, by weight, over each 

of the other contained elements; (2) the 

carbon content is two percent or less, by 

weight; and (3) none of the elements 

listed below is equal to or exceeds the 

quantity, by weight, respectively 

indicated: 1.80 percent of manganese, or 

1.50 percent of silicon, or 1.00 percent 

of copper, or 0.50 percent of aluminum, 

or 1.25 percent of chromium, or 0.30 

percent of cobalt, or 0.40 percent of 

lead, or 1.25 percent of nickel, or 0.30 

percent of tungsten, or 0.10 percent of 

molybdenum, or 0.10 percent of 

niobium, or 0.41 percent of titanium, or 

0.15 percent of vanadium, or 0.15 

percent zirconium. All products that 

meet the written physical description, 

and in which the chemistry quantities 

do not equal or exceed any one of the 

levels listed above, are within the scope 

of this order unless otherwise 

specifically excluded. The following 

products are specifically excluded from 

the order: (1) products clad, plated, or 

coated with metal, whether or not 

painted, varnished or coated with 

plastic or other non-metallic substances; 

(2) SAE grades (formerly AISI grades) of 

series 2300 and above; (3) products 

made to ASTM A710 and A736 or their 

proprietary equivalents; (4) abrasionresistant steels (i.e., USS AR 400, USS 

AR 500); (5) products made to ASTM 

A202, A225, A514 grade S, A517 grade 

S, or their proprietary equivalents; (6) 

ball bearing steels; (7) tool steels; and (8) 

silicon manganese steel or silicon 

electric steel. 

The merchandise subject to the order 

is currently classifiable under the 

HTSUS under subheadings: 

7208.40.3030, 7208.40.3060, 

7208.51.0030, 7208.51.0045, 

7208.51.0060, 7208.52.0000, 

7208.53.0000, 7208.90.0000, 

7210.70.3000, 7210.90.9000, 

7211.13.0000, 7211.14.0030,

7226.91.7000, 7226.91.8000, 

7226.99.0000. 

Although the HTSUS subheadings are 

provided for convenience and customs 

purposes, the written description of the 

merchandise covered by the order is 

dispositive. 

Rescission of Review 

If a party that requested a review 

withdraws the request within 90 days of 

the date of publication of the notice of 

initiation of the requested review, the 

Secretary will rescind the review, in 

whole or in part, pursuant to 19 CFR 

351.213(d)(1). In this case, DSM 

withdrew its request for an 

administrative review within 90 days 

from the date of initiation. No other 

interested party requested a review of 

DSM. Therefore, consistent with 19 CFR 

351.213(d)(1), and because DSM is the 

sole respondent in this review, we are 

rescinding this review of the 

countervailing duty order on certain 

cut-to-length carbon-quality steel plate 

from Korea. 

Assessment 

The Department intends to issue 

assessment instructions to U.S. Customs 

and Border Protection (CBP) 15 days 

after the publication of this notice. The 

Department will direct CBP to assess 

countervailing duties at the cash deposit 

rate in effect on the date of entry for 

entries during the period January 1, 

2008, through December 31, 2008.
