SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

On December 9, 2002, we published the preliminary results of this administrative review. See Certain Cut-to-Length Carbon Steel Plate from Ukraine; Notice of Preliminary Results of Administrative Review of the Suspension Agreement 67 FR 72916 (December 9, 2002). Currently, the final results in this administrative review are due on April 8, 2003. Pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act, the Department may extend the deadline for completion of an administrative review if it determines that it is not practicable to complete the final results of the review within the normal statutory time limit. Due to the complexity of the issues present in this administrative review, including affiliated party sales, and because the Department must conduct verifications of several discreet entities, the Department determines it is not practicable to complete this review within the normal statutory time limit. Therefore, the Department is extending the time limits for completion of the final results until June 9, 2003, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended.

Dated: January 15, 2003.

Joseph A. Spetrini,

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration, Group III.
