In response to requests from four respondents and from the petitioners, the Department of Commerce ("the Department") is conducting (the seventh) administrative reviews of the antidumping duty orders on certain cold-rolled and corrosion-resistant carbon steel flat products from Korea. The corrosion-resistant carbon steel flat products review covers four manufacturers and exporters of the subject merchandise, while the cold-rolled carbon steel flat products review covers three. The period of review for cold-rolled products is August 1, 1999 through December 31, 1999, and the period of review for corrosion-resistant products is August 1, 1999 through July 31, 2000. We preliminarily determine that a dumping margin exists for certain products and companies for their sales in the United States. See "Preliminary Results of the Review" section of this notice. If these preliminary results are adopted in our final results of administrative reviews, we will instruct U.S. Customs to assess antidumping duties on entries of the affected companies' merchandise during the period of review ("POR").
