SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Commerce published the Preliminary 

Results of this administrative review in 

the Federal Register on January 10, 

2018.1 We invited interested parties to 

comment on the Preliminary Results. On 

January 23, 2018, Commerce exercised 

its discretion to toll all deadlines 

affected by the closure of the Federal 

Government from January 20 through 

22, 2018.2 On February 12, 2018, we 

received timely case briefs from the 

Government of Turkey and from 

Borusan. On May 2, 2018, Commerce 

postponed the final results of review 

until July 12, 2018.3

Scope of the Order 

The merchandise covered by the order 

is welded line pipe, which is carbon 

and alloy steel pipe of a kind used for 

oil or gas pipelines, not more than 24 

inches in nominal outside diameter. A 

full description of the scope of the order 

is contained in the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum, which is hereby adopted 

by this notice.4

Analysis of Comments Received 

All issues raised in interested parties’ 

briefs are addressed in the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum accompanying 

this notice. A list of the issues raised by 

interested parties and to which we 

responded in the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum 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 and in the Central 

Records Unit, room B8024 of the main 

Department of Commerce building. In 

addition, a complete version of the 

Issues and Decision Memorandum can 

be accessed directly at http://

enforcement.trade.gov/frn/. The signed 

and electronic versions of the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum are identical in 

content. 

Changes Since the Preliminary Results 

We made no changes to our subsidy 

rate calculation. 

Methodology 

Commerce conducted 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 to be countervailable, we find 

that there is a subsidy, i.e., a financial 

contribution from a government or 

public entity 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, see the Issues 

and Decision Memorandum. 

Final Results of Administrative Review 

In accordance with section 777A(e) of 

the Act and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5), we 

determine the total net countervailable 

subsidy rate for the period January 1, 

2015, to December 31, 2015, to be:
