AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.

ACTION: Notice of extension of time limit for final results of 
antidumping duty administrative reviews.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (``the Department'') is extending 
the time limit for the final results for the fourth reviews of certain 
cold-rolled and certain corrosion-resistant carbon steel flat products 
from Korea. These reviews cover the period August 1, 1996 through July 
31, 1997. The extension is made pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the 
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended.

EFFECTIVE DATE: January 11, 1999.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Steve Bezirganian at [phone] or

Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue NW, 
Washington, DC 20230.

The Applicable Statute

    Unless otherwise indicated, all citations to the Tariff Act of 1930 
(``the Act'') are references to the provisions effective January 1, 
1995, the effective date of the amendments made to the Act by the 
Uruguay Rounds Agreements Act.

Postponement of Final Results

    On September 9, 1998, the Department published the preliminary 
results for this review. 63 FR 48173. Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act 
requires the Department to complete an administrative review within 120 
days of publication of the preliminary results. However, if it is not 
practicable to complete the review within the 120-day time limit, 
section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows the Department to extend the 
time limit to180 days from the date of publication of the preliminary 
results. The Department has determined that it is not practicable to 
issue its final results within the original 120-day time limit (See 
Decision Memorandum from Joseph A. Spetrini to Robert LaRussa dated 
December 11, 1998). We are therefore extending the deadline for the 
final results in this review to 180 days from the date on which the 
notice of preliminary results was published. The fully extended 
deadline for the final results is March 8, 1999.

    Dated: December 28, 1998.
Richard O. Weible,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary, Enforcement Group III.
