Final Results of Countervailing Duty New Shipper Review: Certain 
Welded Carbon Steel Standard Pipe from Turkey

AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: On February 26, 2007, the Department of Commerce (``the 
Department'') published in the Federal Register its preliminary results 
of the new shipper review of the countervailing duty (``CVD'') order on 
certain welded carbon steel standard pipe from Turkey for the period 
January 1, 2005, through December 31, 2005. The Department 
preliminarily found that Toscelik Profil ve Sac Endustrisi A.S. and its 
affiliated export trading company, Tosyali Dis Ticaret A.S. 
(collectively referred to as ``Toscelik''), the producer/exporter of 
subject merchandise covered by this review, received countervailable 
subsidies during the period of review (``POR''). We did not receive any 
comments on our preliminary results and have made no revisions to those 
results.

EFFECTIVE DATE: May 2, 2007.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kristen Johnson or George McMahon, AD/
CVD Operations, Office 3, Import Administration, International Trade 
Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14\th\ Street and 
Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-
4793 and (202) 482-1167, respectively.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On March 7, 1986, the Department published in the Federal Register 
the CVD order on certain welded carbon steel pipe and tube products 
from Turkey. See Countervailing Duty Order: Certain Welded Carbon Steel 
Pipe and Tube Products from Turkey, 51 FR 7984 (March 7, 1986). On 
February 26, 2007, the Department published in the Federal Register the 
preliminary results for this review. See Preliminary Results of 
Countervailing Duty New Shipper Review: Certain Welded Carbon Steel 
Standard Pipe from Turkey, 72 FR 8348 (February 26, 2007) (``New 
Shipper Preliminary Results'').
    In the New Shipper Preliminary Results, we invited interested 
parties to submit case briefs commenting on the preliminary results or 
to request a hearing. We did not hold a hearing in this review, as one 
was not requested, and did not receive any case briefs.

Scope of the Order

    The products covered by this order are certain welded carbon steel 
pipe and tube with an outside diameter of 0.375 inch or more, but not 
over 16 inches, of any wall thickness (pipe and tube) from Turkey. 
These products are currently provided for under the Harmonized Tariff 
Schedule of the United States (``HTSUS'') as item numbers 7306.30.10, 
7306.30.50, and 7306.90.10. Although the HTSUS subheadings are provided 
for convenience and customs purposes, the written description of the 
merchandise is dispositive.

Final Results of Review

    As noted above, the Department received no comments concerning the 
preliminary results. Therefore, consistent with the New Shipper 
Preliminary Results, we continue to find that Toscelik received 
countervailable subsidies during the POR. In accordance with section 
751(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the Act''), we 
calculated a total net subsidy rate of 0.20 percent ad valorem, which 
is de minimis, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.106(c).
    As there have been no changes to or comments on the preliminary 
results, we are not attaching a decision memorandum to this Federal 
Register notice. For further details of the programs included in this 
proceeding, see the New Shipper Preliminary Results.

Assessment Rates/Cash Deposits

    The Department intends to issue assessment instructions to U.S. 
Customs and Border Protection (``CBP'') 15 days after the date of 
publication of these final results of this review, to liquidate 
shipments of subject merchandise by Toscelik entered, or withdrawn from 
warehouse, for consumption on or after January 1, 2005, through 
December 31, 2005, without regard to countervailing duties because a de 
minimis subsidy rate was calculated. We will also instruct CBP not to 
collect cash deposits of estimated countervailing duties on shipments 
of the subject merchandise by Toscelik entered, or withdrawn from 
warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of publication of the 
final results of this review. These deposit requirements shall remain 
in effect until further notice.

Return or Destruction of Proprietary Information

    This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective order (``APO'') of their responsibility 
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under 
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely written 
notification of the return/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 a sanctionable 
violation.
    We are issuing and publishing these results in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: April 27, 2007.
David M. Spooner,
Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
