review in accordance with section

751(a)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as

amended (the Act).

Scope of the Order

3

The merchandise covered by the

Order is certain OCTG from Turkey. For

a complete description of the scope, see

the Preliminary Decision Memorandum

accompanying the Preliminary Results.

4

Changes Since the Preliminary Results

As no party submitted comments on

the Preliminary Results, we made no

changes in the final results of this

review.

Partial Rescission of Administrative

Review

It is Commerce’s practice to rescind

an administrative review of a

countervailing duty order, pursuant to

19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), when there are no

reviewable entries of subject

merchandise during the POR for which

liquidation is suspended.

5

Normally,

upon completion of an administrative

review, the suspended entries are

liquidated at the countervailing duty

assessment rate calculated for the

review period.

6

Therefore, for an

administrative review of a company to

be conducted, there must be a

reviewable, suspended entry that

Commerce can instruct U.S. Customs

and Border Protection (CBP) to liquidate

at the calculated countervailing duty

assessment rate calculated for the

review period.

7

According to the CBP import data, the

five non-selected companies subject to

this review, did not have reviewable

entries of subject merchandise during

the POR for which liquidation is

suspended.

8

Because there is no

evidence on the record of this segment

of the proceeding to indicate that these

companies had entries, exports, or sales

of subject merchandise to the United

States during the POR, we are

rescinding the administrative review

with respect to these companies

consistent with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3).

Final Results of the Administrative

Review

In accordance with section 777A(e)(1)

of the Act and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5), we

determine the following net

countervailable subsidy rate for

Borusan, for the period January 1, 2018,

through December 31, 2018:

Company Subsidy rate

(percent ad

valorem)

Assessment Rates

Commerce shall determine, and CBP

shall assess, countervailing duties on all

appropriate entries covered by this

review, pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C)

of the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(2).

Because we calculated a de minimis

countervailable subsidy rate for Borusan

in the final results of this review, we

intend to instruct CBP to liquidate the

appropriate entries without regard to

countervailing duties in accordance

with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(2) and 19 CFR

351.106(c)(1).

With respect to the companies for

which this administrative review is

rescinded (i.e., Bakir Grup Makine

Imalat Bakim Montaj Demontaj Sanayi

ve Ticaret Ltd. Sti.; Hydra Insaat Sanayi

ve Ticaret Anonim Sirketi; Kalibre Boru

Sanayi ve Ticaret; NETBORU San. ve

Dis. Tic. Koll. Sti.; and Yilmaz Pipo),

countervailing duties shall be assessed

at rates equal to the cash deposit rate

required at the time of entry, or

withdrawal from warehouse, for

consumption, during the period January

1, 2018, through December 31, 2018, in

accordance with 19 CFR

351.212(c)(1)(i).

Commerce intends to issue

appropriate assessment instructions to

CBP no earlier than 35 days after the

date of this publication of the final

results of this review in the Federal

Register. If a timely summons is filed at

the U.S. Court of International Trade,

the assessment instructions will direct

CBP not to liquidate relevant entries

until the time for parties to file a request

for a statutory injunction has expired

(i.e., within 90 days of publication).

Cash Deposit Requirements

Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the

Act, Commerce also intends to instruct

CBP to collect cash deposits of

estimated countervailing duties at the

appropriate rates. For shipments of

subject merchandise by Borusan

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,

for consumption on or after the date of

publication of these final results, the

cash deposit rate will be zero. For all

non-reviewed firms, CBP will continue

to collect cash deposits of estimated

countervailing duties at the most recent

company-specific or all-others rate

applicable to the company, as

appropriate. These cash deposit

requirements, when imposed, shall

remain in effect until further notice.

Administrative Protective Order

This notice serves as a reminder to

parties subject to administrative

protective order (APO) of their

responsibility concerning the

destruction of proprietary information

disclosed under APO in accordance

with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), which

continues to govern business

proprietary information in this segment

of the proceeding. Timely written

notification of return or destruction of

APO materials or conversion to judicial

protective order is hereby requested.

Failure to comply with the regulations

and the terms of an APO is sanctionable

violation.

Notification to Interested Parties

These final results are issued and

published in accordance with sections

751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act.

Dated: May 4, 2021.

Acting Assistant Secretary for Enforcement

and Compliance.
