Commerce Extends Time Limit for Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review on Certain Cut-to-Length Carbon-Quality Steel Plate Products from Italy
October 20, 2009On February 10, 2000, the Department of Commerce (Commerce) published an antidumping duty order (PDF) on certain cut-to-length carbon-quality steel plate products from Italy. The Department received a timely request for review from Evraz Palini Bertoli S.p.A. (Palini), an Italian producer of the subject merchandise. On March 24, 2009, the Department published a notice of initiation of an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on certain cut-to-length carbon-quality steel plate products from Italy with respect to Palini for the period February 1, 2008, through January 31, 2009.
Commerce determined that it is not practicable to complete the preliminary results of this review by the current deadline of October 31, 2009. During the course of the review, Palini has requested several extensions of time to file its questionnaire and supplemental questionnaire responses, which were granted in whole or in part. Commerce now requires additional time to analyze Palini’s responses prior to issuing the preliminary results. Therefore, in accordance with § 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2), Commerce is extending the time period for issuing the preliminary results of this review by 86 days to January 25, 2010. For more details, see the notice published in the Federal Register.
