SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background On April 3, 2020, Commerce published the preliminary results of this administrative review.1 On April 24, 2020, Commerce tolled all deadlines in administrative reviews by 50 days.2 On July 21, 2020, Commerce tolled all deadlines in administrative reviews by 60 days.3 On October 28, 2020, Commerce extended the deadline for the final results to January 15, 2021.4 For a summary of events that occurred since the Preliminary Results, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum.5
Scope of the Order The merchandise covered by the countervailing duty order is circular welded carbon steel pipes and tubes from Turkey. For a complete description of the scope of the order, see the
accompanying Issues and Decision Memorandum.
Analysis of Comments Received All issues raised in interested parties case briefs are addressed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum. The issues are identified in the appendix to this notice. The Issues and Decision Memorandum is a public document and is on file electronically via Enforcement and Compliances Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service System ACCESS.
ACCESS is available to registered users at https access.trade.gov. In addition, a complete version of the Issues and Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly at http enforcement.trade.gov/
frn/index.html. The signed and electronic versions of the Issues and Decision Memorandum are identical in content.
Changes Since the Preliminary Results Based on the comments received, we made no changes to the net subsidy rates calculated for the Borusan Companies. However, we revised the net subsidy rate assigned to the firms not selected for individual examination.
For a discussion of these issues, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum.
Methodology Commerce conducted this review in accordance with section 751a1A of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended the Act. For each of the subsidy programs found countervailable during the POR, we determine that there is a subsidy, i.e., a government-provided financial contribution that confers a benefit to the recipient, and that the subsidy is
specific.6 For a complete description of the methodology underlying all of Commerces conclusions, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum.
Final Results of the Review In accordance with section 751a1A of the Act and 19 CFR
351.221b5, we determined an individual subsidy rate for the Borusan Companies and calculated a de minimis net subsidy rate for the period January 1, 2018 through December 31, 2018. As discussed in the accompanying Issues and Decision Memorandum, it is Commerces practice in administrative reviews to calculate a rate for companies that are not individually examined by following the instructions to calculate the all-others rate under section 705c5 of the Act and averaging the weighted-average net subsidy rates for the individually-reviewed companies, excluding rates that are zero, de minimis, or based entirely on facts available.7 In this review, we calculated a de minimis net subsidy rate for the sole mandatory respondent. As a result, for the reasons discussed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum, we have determined that it is reasonable to assign to the firms subject to the review, but not selected for individual examination, the average of the abovede minimis net subsidy rates calculated for the mandatory respondents in the prior administrative review conducted in this proceeding, which is 1.18
percent ad valorem.8 Therefore, we determine that the following total estimated net countervailable subsidy rates exist for the period January 1, 2018
through December 31, 2018:
