Common Alloy Aluminum Sheet From 

the Republic of Turkey: Final Results 

of Countervailing Duty Administrative 

Review, 2020–2021 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of 

Commerce (Commerce) determines that 

countervailable subsidies are being 

provided to certain producers and 

exporters of common alloy aluminum 

sheet (aluminum sheet) from the 

Republic of Turkey (Turkey). The period 

of review is August 14, 2020, through 

December 31, 2021. 

DATES: Applicable November 2, 2023.

Background 

Commerce published the Preliminary 

Results of this review on May 10, 2023.1

On August 24, 2023, Commerce 

extended the final results of this review 

to October 26, 2023.2 For a complete 

description of the events that occurred 

since the Preliminary Results, see the 

Issues and Decision Memorandum.3

Scope of the Order 4

The product covered by this Order is 

aluminum sheet from Turkey. For a 

complete description of the scope of this 

Order, see the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum. 

Analysis of Comments Received 

All issues raised by the interested 

parties in their case and rebuttal briefs 

are addressed in the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum. A list of these issues is 

provided in the appendix to this notice. 

The Issues and 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 https://access.trade.gov. In addition, a 

complete version of the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum can be accessed 

directly at https://access.trade.gov/ 

public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx. 

Methodology 

Commerce conducted this 

administrative 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 find that there is a 

subsidy, i.e., a government-provided 

financial contribution that gives rise to 

a benefit to the recipient, and that the 

subsidy is specific.5 For a full 

description of the methodology 

underlying all of Commerce’s 

conclusions, including our reliance, in 

part, on facts otherwise available, 

including adverse facts available, 

pursuant to sections 776(a) and (b) of 

the Act, see the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum. 

Changes Since the Preliminary Results 

Based on our review of the record and 

comments received from interested 

parties regarding our Preliminary 

Results, and for the reasons explained in 

the Issues and Decision Memorandum, 

Commerce revised the calculations for 

the net countervailable subsidy rates for 

these final results of review. 

Companies Not Selected for Individual 

Review 

The statute and Commerce’s 

regulations do not address the 

establishment of a rate to be applied to 

companies not selected for individual 

examination when Commerce limits its 

examination in an administrative review 

pursuant to section 777A(c)(2) of the 

Act. Generally, Commerce looks to 

section 705(c)(5) of the Act, which 

provides instructions for determining 

the all-others rate in an investigation, 

for guidance when calculating the rate 

for companies which were not selected 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 211 / Thursday, November 2, 2023 / Notices 75275 

6See Memorandum, ‘‘Calculation of Subsidy Rate 

for Non-Selected Companies Under Review,’’ dated 

concurrently with this memorandum. 

7With two respondents under examination, 

Commerce normally calculates (A) a weighted 

average of the estimated subsidy rates calculated for 

the examined respondents; (B) a simple average of 

the estimated subsidy rates calculated for the 

examined respondents; and (C) a weighted average 

of the estimated subsidy rates calculated for the 

examined respondents using each company’s 

publicly ranged U.S. sale quantities for the 

merchandise under consideration. Commerce then 

compares (B) and (C) to (A) and selects the rate 

closest to (A) as the most appropriate rate for all 

other producers and exporters. See, e.g., Ball 

Bearings and Parts Thereof from France, Germany, 

Italy, Japan, and the United Kingdom: Final Results 

of Antidumping Duty Administrative Reviews, Final 

Results of Changed Circumstances Review, and 

Revocation of an Order in Part, 75 FR 53661, 53663 

(September 1, 2010). Because complete publicly 

ranged sales data was not available, Commerce 

could not follow its normal methodology.Therefore, 

we used a simple average of the estimated subsidy 

rates calculated for the examined respondents. 

8 Id. 

9Commerce has found Kibar Holding to be crossowned with Assan Aluminyum Sanayi ve Ticaret 

A.S., pursuant to 19 CFR 351.525(b)(6)(vi); see 

Common Alloy Aluminum Sheet From the Republic 

of Turkey: Final Affirmative Countervailing Duty 

Determination and Final Affirmative Determination 

of Critical Circumstances, in Part, 86 FR 13315 

(March 8, 2021). We also note that Assan has an 

affiliated trading company through which it 

exported certain subject merchandise during the 

POR, Kibar Dis. Kibar Dis was not selected as a 

mandatory respondent, but was examined in the 

context of Assan. Therefore, there is not an 

established CVD rate for Kibar Dis. Instead, entries 

of subject merchandise exported by Kibar Dis will 

receive the rate of the producer listed on the U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) entry form. 

for individual examination in an 

administrative review. Under section 

705(c)(5)(A) of the Act, the all-others 

rate is normally an amount equal to the 

weighted average of the countervailable 

subsidy rates established for exporters 

and producers individually 

investigated, excluding any zero or de 

minimis countervailable subsidy rates, 

and any rates determined entirely on the 

basis of facts available. 

There is one company for which a 

review was requested and not 

rescinded, and which was not selected 

as a mandatory respondent or found to 

be cross owned with a mandatory 

respondent: P.M.S. Metal Profil 

Aluminyum Sanayi Ve Ticaret A.S. 

Assan and Teknik received 

countervailable subsidies that are above 

de minimis and are not based entirely 

on facts available for 2020.6 Commerce 

calculated the all-others’ rate using a 

simple average of the individual 

estimated subsidy rates calculated for 

the examined respondents.7 Assan and 

Teknik received countervailable 

subsidies that are above de minimis and 

are not based entirely on facts available 

for 2021. Therefore, we calculated the 

all-others’ rate using a simple average of 

the individual estimated subsidy rates 

calculated for the examined 

respondents.8

Final Results of the Administrative 

Review 

Commerce determines the net 

countervailable subsidy rates for the 

period August 14, 2020, through 

December 31, 2021, to be as follows:

Disclosure 

Commerce intends to disclose the 

calculations and analysis performed for 

these final results of review within five 

days of the date of publication of this 

notice in the Federal Register, in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). 

Assessment Rate 

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

the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(2), upon 

issuance of the final results, Commerce 

shall determine, and Customs and

countervailing duties on all appropriate 

entries covered by this review. 

Commerce intends to issue assessment 

instructions to U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection (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 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 

In accordance with section 751(a)(1) 

of the Act, we also intend to instruct 

CBP to collect cash deposits of 

estimated countervailing duties in the 

amounts shown above for the abovelisted companies with regard to 

shipments of subject merchandise 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after the date of 

publication of these final results of 

review. For all non-reviewed firms, CBP 

will continue to collect cash deposits of 

estimated countervailing duties at the 

all-others rate or the most recent 

company-specific rate applicable to the 

company, as appropriate. These cash 

deposit requirements, effective upon 

publication of these final results, shall 

remain in effect until further notice. 

Administrative Protective Order

notice is the initial step for NIST in 

collaborating with non-profit 

organizations, universities, other 

government agencies, and technology 

companies to address challenges 

associated with the development and 

deployment of AI. Many of these 

challenges were identified under the 

Executive Order of October 30, 2023 

(The Safe, Secure, and Trustworthy 

Development and Use of Artificial 

Intelligence) and the NIST AI RMF 

Roadmap. Much of this research will 

center on evaluations of and approaches 

towards safer, more trustworthy AI 

systems. Participation in the consortium 

is open to all interested organizations 

that can contribute their expertise, 

products, data, and/or models to the 

activities of the consortium. Selected

approaches for holistically assessing 

risk for the use of AI systems. However, 

in deploying this framework, specific 

improvements in our ability to evaluate 

and validate AI systems are necessary, 

as detailed in the AI RMF roadmap, 

available at https://www.nist.gov/itl/airisk-management-framework/roadmapnist-artificial-intelligence-riskmanagement-framework-ai. In addition, 

The Safe, Secure, and Trustworthy 

Development and Use of Artificial 

Intelligence Executive Order articulated 

a broad set of priorities relevant to and 

directive of NIST’s work related to AI 

safety and trust. NIST seeks to leverage 

the additional resources and capabilities 

made available through this consortium 

to meet the requirements of the 

Executive Order and fulfill those 

priorities in the future.
