managers remain in positions identical 

to those they held in Grobest & I–Mei. 

See Attachment 3 of Viet I–Mei’s 

February 28, 2011, submission. 

In addition, the submission indicates 

that the production facilities for Viet I– 

Mei and Grobest & I–Mei are identical. 

Following the name and investment 

changes, Viet I–Mei retained the same 

address and assets as Grobest & I–Mei. 

See Attachments 2 and 4 of Viet I–Mei’s 

February 28, 2011, submission. 

In its March 18, 2011, submission, 

Viet I–Mei identifies Grobest & I–Mei’s 

raw materials suppliers and Viet I–Mei’s 

raw materials suppliers, showing that 

Viet I–Mei’s raw material suppliers are 

identical to Grobest & I–Mei’s. 

Additionally, Viet I–Mei provides 

representative invoice samples from raw 

material suppliers to Grobest & I–Mei 

and Viet I–Mei. See Attachments 1 and 

2 of Viet I–Mei’s March 18, 2011, 

submission. 

Further, Viet I–Mei addressed changes 

to its customer base by providing 

customer lists and representative 

invoices and packing lists. The lists 

show that the customers of Viet I–Mei 

were customers of Grobest & I–Mei. See 

Attachments 3, 4, and 5 of Viet I–Mei’s 

March18, 2011, submission. 

Given the few changes noted above, 

we have preliminarily determined that 

no major changes have occurred with 

respect to Viet I–Mei’s management, 

production facilities, suppliers, or 

customer base as a result of the 

dissolution of the partnership of Grobest 

& I–Mei. 

When it concludes that expedited 

action is warranted, the Department 

may publish the notice of initiation and 

preliminary results for a CCR 

concurrently. See 19 CFR 

351.221(c)(3)(ii); see also Initiation and 

Preliminary Results of Antidumping 

Duty Changed Circumstances Review: 

Canned Pineapple Fruit From Thailand, 

69 FR 30878 (June 1, 2004). We have 

determined that expedition of this CCR 

is warranted because we have the 

information necessary to make a 

preliminary finding already on the 

record. See Ball Bearings and Parts 

Thereof from Japan: Initiation and 

Preliminary Results of ChangedCircumstances Review, 71 FR 14679 

(March 23, 2006). In this case, we 

preliminarily find that Viet I–Mei is the 

successor-in-interest to Grobest & I–Mei 

and, as such, is entitled to Grobest & I– 

Mei’s cash-deposit rate with respect to 

entries of subject merchandise. 

Should our final results remain the 

same as these preliminary results, 

effective the date of publication of the 

final results, we will instruct U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection to assign 

entries of merchandise produced or 

exported by Viet I–Mei the antidumping 

duty cash-deposit rate applicable to 

Grobest & I–Mei.

Development Mission 

AGENCY: International Trade 

Administration. 

ACTION: Notice. 

Mission Description 

The United States Department of 

Commerce, International Trade 

Administration, U.S. and Foreign 

Commercial Service (CS) is organizing a 

Renewable Energy and Energy 

Efficiency Trade Mission to Turkey on 

October 23–29, 2011. Led by a senior 

Department of Commerce official, the 

mission will include representatives 

from a variety of U.S. firms specializing 

in the following product areas: 

• Wind Turbines; 

• Geothermal Exploration, Drilling 

and Geophysical Engineering Services; 

• Geothermal Power Plant 

Equipment; 

• Biomass Power Generation; 

• Hydroelectric Power Plant 

Equipment Supply; 

• Solar Power Generation Systems; 

• Cogeneration Systems; 

• Energy Efficiency Systems and 

Solutions; 

• Fuel Cells, Heat Pumps Exc. 

Mission participants will be 

introduced to international agents, 

distributors, and end-users whose 

capabilities and services are targeted to 

each participant’s needs. This mission 

will contribute to the National Export 

Initiative and the Renewable Energy and 

Energy Efficiency Export Initiative goals 

through increased sales of U.S. 

equipment/services in Turkey. The 

participants will also have a site visit to 

the Izmir Ataturk Organized Industrial 

Zone, targeted by the U.S. Department 

of Energy for a Near-Zero Zone Project 

(NZZ) to promote industrial energy 

efficiency and potential U.S. export 

opportunities. The U.S. Department of 

Energy (DOE), in coordination with 

other U.S. agencies, is launching the 

Near-Zero Zone project. This 

interagency project has the support of 

the Turkish government and business 

organizations, and will help industrial 

companies operating within the Izmir 

Ataturk Organized Industrial Zone 

(IAOSB) reduce their energy usage 

through a series of cost-effective 

efficiency upgrades. 

One-on-one meetings with NZZ 

industrial participants will also be 

included, to follow quickly on an energy 

efficiency survey to be completed in 

September 2011. This mission will be 

an important deliverable for our 

bilateral Framework for Strategic 

Economic and Commercial Cooperation 

mechanism, a new process of 

engagement with the government of 

Turkey on economic and trade issues, 

chaired by Secretary Locke and U.S. 

Trade Representative, Ron Kirk. 

Participants will have an opportunity 

to meet with major buyers, and potential 

agents and distributors operating in 

Ankara, Istanbul, and Izmir, Turkey. 

The U.S. and Foreign Commercial 

Service is targeting a minimum of 15 

and a maximum of 20 U.S. companies. 

Commercial Setting 

Turkey is a country offering 

significant opportunities for foreign 

investors and exporters with its 

geographically favorable position to 


srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 70 / Tuesday, April 12, 2011 / Notices 20321 

function as a gateway between Europe, 

the Middle East and Central Asia. 

Opportunities exist not only in the 

dynamic domestic market in Turkey, 

but also throughout the region. 

Hospitality and tolerance being the 

traditional cornerstones of the Turkish 

way of life, the country is open to 

foreign firms. Foreign Direct Investment 

(FDI) in Turkey slowed to $7.9 billion 

in 2009 during the height of the world 

economic crisis, but has reached $20 

billion in previous years. There are 

approximately 24,000 companies with 

foreign capital in Turkey. Corporate 

income tax is only 20%, dividends can 

be transferred, foreign capital 

companies enjoy the same rights as local 

companies, international arbitration is 

possible, and expatriates can be 

employed. 

A treaty between the U.S. and Turkey 

exists for the protection of foreign 

investments and another treaty between 

the U.S. and Turkey exists for the 

avoidance of double taxation. Turkey 

has a customs union agreement with the 

EU that covers trade in all goods, except 

agriculture goods: The export and 

import of these industrial goods from 

the EU have a zero percent customs 

duty. Turkey has agreed to implement 

most EU Directives regarding the safety 

of products and recognizes the CE 

certification of those types of products. 

As announced by the International 

Monetary Fund, Turkey has the 16th 

largest economy in the world. In 2010, 

Turkey’s GDP reached $958.3 billion. 

Turkey has a young, dynamic, welleducated and multi-cultural population 

of 73 million, the second largest 

population after Germany in Europe. 

Sixty percent of the population is under 

the age of 35. 

Turkish imports in 2010 are estimated 

at $166 billion and Turkish exports 

about $114 billion for the same period 

(2010 official results are not announced 

yet). U.S. exports to Turkey in 2010 will 

exceed $10 billion and Turkish exports 

to the U.S. over $4 billion. Total U.S. 

FDI in Turkey is over $7 billion, a 

conservative figure given investment by 

European subsidiaries of U.S. parent 

corporations. 

Turkey is strategically located. Turkey 

is often referred to as ‘The Energy 

Bridge between East and West’. Seventythree percent of the world’s proven oil 

reserves and seventy-two percent of the 

world’s proven gas reserves are located 

in the surrounding regions of Turkey: 

The Middle East, Caspian Region and 

Russia. This makes Turkey a crucial 

bridge between energy rich regions and 

Europe, which spends approximately 

$300 billion annually for imported 

energy resources. 

Turkey is a manufacturing center with 

ambitions to become a regional energy 

hub. The international image of Turkey 

in terms of a destination for investment 

is generally shaped by the diverse 

market opportunities—both domestic 

and export-oriented—that Turkey offers. 

The potential of these markets covers 

over one billion consumers, including a 

large and growing domestic market 

(approx. 72 million people); highincome European markets (600 million 

people); emerging Russian, Caucasian 

and Central Asian markets (250 million 

people); and the expanding Middle East 

and North Africa markets (160 million 

people). These markets have 

approximately $25 trillion in combined 

GDP. 

Turkey emerged from the world 

economic crisis much better than 

expected. The banking sector was strong 

and did not suffer any major crisis. 

Turkey’s economy grew by 7–8% in 

2010 and unlike the general trend; this 

was not a jobless recovery. Throughout 

the crisis Turkey was the only country 

whose credit rating was upgraded by 

two grades. Credit rating agencies and 

financial markets praised the strong 

performance and healthy state of the 

Turkish economy and demonstrated 

confidence in Turkey’s economic 

policies. 

In the 2010–2014 Energy Strategy 

Paper announced recently by the 

Turkish Minister of Energy and Natural 

Resources (MENR) Taner Yildiz, Turkey 

plans to have 20,000 MW of wind 

energy and 600 MW of geothermal 

energy capacity by 2023 (100th year 

anniversary of the Turkish Republic). 

Turkey plans to have 5,000 MW new 

hydroelectric power plants, 10,000 MW 

wind power farms, 300 MW geothermal 

power plants come into operation by 

2015. As part of the energy efficiency 

programs, the Turkish government plans 

to decrease the primary energy intensity 

by 10% before 2015 and 20% before 

2023. 

Turkey ranks No. 1 in Europe and No. 

7 in the world in terms of geothermal 

power potential. Power generation from 

biomass will become more important as 

large municipalities are considering 

more efficient methods of disposing of 

municipal waste. After Spain, Turkey 

has the second largest potential for solar 

power development in Europe. 

Turkey also has large hydroelectric 

potential. Currently 30% of Turkey’s 

installed capacity is from hydroelectric 

resources. Many Turkish private 

companies are investing in run of river 

type of electromechanical equipment 

which is mostly supplied from China, 

Austria, Norway and Germany. The 

US&FCS Turkey receives a considerable 

amount of inquiries from Turkish 

companies, asking for hydro 

electromechanical equipment from the 

U.S. with U.S. Ex-Im Bank financing. 

The Government of Turkey has 

adopted a new legal framework to 

increase the feed-in tariff for the 

electricity to be delivered from different 

types of renewable energy resources. 

Over the next five years, Turkey’s 

investments on renewable energy are 

estimated to expand to $20 billion. 

U.S.-Turkish relations focus on areas 

such as strategic energy cooperation, 

trade and investment, security ties, 

regional stability, counterterrorism, and 

human rights progress. President Barack 

Obama paid a historic visit to Turkey on 

April 5–7, 2009, as the first bilateral 

visit of his presidency. During the visit, 

he spoke before the Turkish Parliament 

and outlined his vision of a model U.S.- 

Turkish partnership based on mutual 

interests and mutual respect. The 

inaugural Framework for Strategic 

Economic and Commercial Cooperation 

meeting was held in Washington, DC in 

October 2010. In addition to the new 

framework, the U.S. and Turkey hold 

annual meetings of the Trade and 

Investment Framework Agreement 

(TIFA) Council, which met in 

Washington, DC in July 2010, and 

Economic Partnership Commission 

(EPC), which last convened in Turkey in 

June 2010. 

On May 14, 2010, Under Secretary of 

Commerce for International Trade, 

Francisco Sa ́nchez and Undersecretary 

for Foreign Trade of Turkey Ahmet 

Yakici signed the Terms of Reference for 

the establishment of a newly formed 

U.S.-Turkey Business Council (Council). 

The Council will bring together U.S. and 

Turkish business leaders to provide 

policy recommendations to both 

governments jointly on ways to 

strengthen bilateral economic relations. 

Mission Goals 

The trade mission will assist 

representatives of U.S. companies in the 

Renewable Energy and energy efficiency 

industries responsible for business 

activity in Europe, Caucasus and Central 

Asia, the Middle East and North Africa 

markets with their efforts to identify 

profitable opportunities and new 

markets for their respective U.S. 

companies and to increase their export 

potential in joint cooperation with 

Turkish companies. 

Mission Scenario 

In Turkey, mission members will also 

be presented with a briefing by the U.S. 

Embassy Country Team, the Commercial 

Specialist for the renewable energy 

sector and other key government and
