benefits on such items. The request 

indicates that tires, tapered bearings, 

and steel wheels/assemblies are subject 

to an antidumping/countervailing duty 

(AD/CVD) order if imported from 

certain countries. The FTZ Board’s 

regulations (15 CFR 400.14(e)) require 

that merchandise subject to AD/CVD 

orders, or items which would be 

otherwise subject to suspension of 

liquidation under AD/CVD procedures 

if they entered U.S. customs territory, be 

admitted to the zone in PF status. The 

request also indicates that certain 

materials/components are subject to 

duties under Section 232 of the Trade 

Expansion Act of 1962 (Section 232) or 

Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 

(Section 301), depending on the country 

of origin. The applicable Section 232 

and Section 301 decisions require 

subject merchandise to be admitted to 

FTZs in PF status.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On November 12, 2019, Commerce 

published a notice of initiation of an 

administrative review of the CVD order 

on HWR pipes and tubes from Turkey.1

On April 24, 2020, Commerce exercised 

its discretion to toll all deadlines in 

administrative reviews by 50 days.2 On 

June 26, 2020, Commerce further 

extended the deadline for the 

preliminary results to November 18, 

2020.3 On July 21, 2020, Commerce 

tolled all deadlines in administrative 

reviews by an additional 60 days.4

Accordingly, the deadline for the 

preliminary results in this 

administrative review was postponed to 

January 19, 2021.5

For a complete description of the 

events that followed the initiation of 

this review, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum.6 A list of topics 

discussed in the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum is included as an 

Appendix to this notice. The 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum is a 

public document and is on file 

electronically via Enforcement and 

Compliance’s Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Centralized 

Electronic Service System (ACCESS). 

ACCESS is available to registered users 

at http://access.trade.gov. In addition, a 

complete version of the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum can be accessed 

directly at http://enforcement.trade.gov/ 

frn/. The signed and electronic versions 

of the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum are identical in content. 

Scope of the Order 

The merchandise covered by the order 

is HWR pipes and tubes. For a complete 

description of the scope of the order, see 

the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. 

Methodology 

Commerce is conducting this review 

in accordance with section 751(a)(1)(A) 

of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 

(the Act). For each of the subsidy 

programs found countervailable, we 

preliminarily determine that there is a 

subsidy, i.e., a government financial 

contribution that gives rise to a benefit 

to the recipient, and that the subsidy is 

specific.7 For a full description of the 

methodology underlying our 

conclusions, see the accompanying 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum. 

Preliminary Results of Review 

Commerce preliminarily determines 

that the following countervailable 

subsidy rate exists for Ozdemir for the 

period January 1, 2018 through 

December 31, 2018: 

Company Subsidy rate 

(percent) 

Ozdemir Boru Profil San. Ve 

Tic. Ltd. Sti ........................ * 0.39 

* De minimis. 

Assessment Rate 

Consistent with section 751(a)(2)(C) of 

the Act, upon issuance of the final 

results, Commerce shall determine, and 

U.S. Customs and Border Protection 

(CBP) shall assess, countervailing duties 

on all appropriate entries covered by 

this review. If the assessment rate 

calculated in the final results is zero or 

de minimis, we will instruct CBP to 

liquidate all appropriate entries without 

regard to countervailing duties. 

Commerce intends to issue assessment 

instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 

days after the date of 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

calculated in the final results is zero or 

de minimis, no cash deposit will be 

required. For all non-reviewed firms, we 

will instruct CBP to 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 

instructions, when imposed, shall 

remain in effect until further notice.
