1On August 13, 2018, the President signed into 

law the John S. McCain National Defense 

Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019, which 

includes the Export Control Reform Act of 2018, 50 

U.S.C. 4801–4852 (‘‘ECRA’’). While section 1766 of 

ECRA repeals the provisions of the Export 

Administration Act, 50 U.S.C. app. sec. 2401 et seq. 

(‘‘EAA’’), (except for three sections which are 

inapplicable here), section 1768 of ECRA provides, 

in pertinent part, that all orders, rules, regulations, 

and other forms of administrative action that were 

made or issued under the EAA, including as 

continued in effect pursuant to the International 

Emergency Economic Powers Act, 50 U.S.C. 1701 

et seq. (‘‘IEEPA’’), and were in effect as of ECRA’s 

date of enactment (August 13, 2018), shall continue 

in effect according to their terms until modified, 

superseded, set aside, or revoked through action 

undertaken pursuant to the authority provided 

under ECRA. Moreover, section 1761(a)(5) of ECRA 

authorizes the issuance of temporary denial orders. 

50 U.S.C. 4820(a)(5). 

2The TDO was published in the Federal Register 

on October 19, 2022 (87 FR 63477). 3The April 10, 2023 renewal order was published 

in the Federal Register on April 13, 2023 (88 FR 

22406). 4The October 6, 2023 renewal order, which was 

effective upon issuance, was published in the 

Federal Register on October 13, 2023 (88 FR 

70925). 5Section 766.24(d) provides that BIS may seek 

renewal of a temporary denial order for additional 

180-day renewal periods, if it believes that renewal 

is necessary in the public interest to prevent an 

imminent violation. In cases demonstrating a 

pattern of repeated, ongoing and/or continuous 

apparent violations, BIS may request the renewal of 

a temporary denial order for an additional period 

not exceeding one year. 

designed to carry out the policy set forth 

in section 1752(1)(A) of the Export 

Control Reform Act. The purpose of the

DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE 

Bureau of Industry and Security 

URAL Airlines JSC, Utrenniy Lane 1–g, 

Yekaterinburg, Russia 620025; Order 

Renewing Temporary Denial of Export 

Privileges 

Pursuant to section 766.24 of the 

Export Administration Regulations, 15 

CFR parts 730–774 (‘‘EAR’’ or ‘‘the 

Regulations’’),1 I hereby grant the 

request of the Office of Export 

Enforcement (‘‘OEE’’) to renew the 

temporary denial order (‘‘TDO’’) issued 

in this matter on April 7, 2022. I find 

that renewal of this order is necessary 

in the public interest to prevent an 

imminent violation of the Regulations 

and that renewal for an extended period 

is appropriate because URAL Airlines 

JSC (‘‘URAL’’) has engaged in a pattern 

of repeated, ongoing and/or continuous 

apparent violations of the EAR. 

I. Procedural History 

On October 13, 2022, I signed an 

order denying URAL export privileges 

for a period of 180 days on the ground 

that issuance of the order was necessary 

in the public interest to prevent an 

imminent violation of the Regulations. 

The order was issued ex parte pursuant 

to section 766.24(a) of the Regulations 

and was effective upon issuance.2 The 

temporary denial order was 

subsequently renewed on April 10, 

2023 3 and October 6, 2023 4 in 

accordance with section 766.24(d) of the 

Regulations.5

On September 10, 2024, BIS, through 

OEE, submitted a written request for a 

third renewal of the TDO. The written 

request was made more than 20 days 

before the TDO’s scheduled expiration 

and, given the temporary suspension of 

international mail service to Russia, 

OEE has attempted to deliver a copy of 

the renewal request to URAL by 

alternative means in accordance with 

sections 766.5 and 766.24(d) of the 

Regulations. No opposition to the 

renewal of the TDO has been received. 

II. Renewal of the TDO 

A. Legal Standard 

Pursuant to section 766.24, BIS may 

issue an order temporarily denying a

6 88 FR 59791 (Aug. 30, 2023). 

7 87 FR 12226 (Mar. 3, 2022). Additionally, BIS 

published a final rule effective April 8, 2022, which 

imposed licensing requirements on items controlled 

on the Commerce Control List (‘‘CCL’’) under 

Categories 0–2 that are destined for Russia or 

Belarus. Accordingly, now all CCL items require 

export, reexport, and transfer (in-country) licenses 

if destined for or within Russia or Belarus. 87 FR 

22130 (Apr. 14, 2022). 

8 87 FR 13048 (Mar. 8, 2022). 

9Publicly available flight tracking information 

shows multiple flights into Russia, including the 

following: on September 10, 2022, serial number 

(SN) 5055 flew from Dushanbe, Tajikistan to 

Irkutsk, Russia, and on September 6, 2022, SN5055 

flew from Khudzhand, Tajikistan to Sochi, Russia. 

In addition, on October 6, 2022, SN 5055 flew from 

Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan to Samara, Russia. 

10Engaging in conduct prohibited by a denial 

order violates the Regulations. 15 CFR 764.2(a) and 

(k). 

11Publicly available flight tracking information 

shows that SN 5055 flew from Dushanbe, Tajikistan 

to Ufa, Russia on March 20, 2023 and from Osh, 

Kyrgyzstan to Krasnoyarsk, Russia on March 19, 

2023. In addition, on March 19, 2023, SN 2376 flew 

from Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan to Yekaterinburg, Russia. 

On March 6, 2023, SN 1941 flew from Khujand, 

Tajikistan to Yekaterinburg, Russia. On March 16, 

2023, SN 1941 flew from Sochi, Russia to Moscow, 

Russia. 

12Publicly available flight tracking information 

shows that SN 5055 flew from Dushanbe, Tajikistan 

to Yekaterinburg, Russia on September 5, 2023. In 

addition, on August 21, 2023, SN 2376 flew from 

Tamchy Kyrgyzstan to Moscow, Russia. On 

September 4, 2023, SN 1941 flew from Bishkek, 

Kyrgyzstan to Moscow, Russia. 

respondent’s export privileges upon a 

showing that the order is necessary in 

the public interest to prevent an 

‘‘imminent violation’’ of the 

Regulations, or any order, license or 

authorization issued thereunder. 15 CFR 

766.24(b)(1) and 766.24(d). ‘‘A violation 

may be ‘imminent’ either in time or 

degree of likelihood.’’ 15 CFR 

766.24(b)(3). BIS may show ‘‘either that 

a violation is about to occur, or that the 

general circumstances of the matter 

under investigation or case under 

criminal or administrative charges 

demonstrate a likelihood of future 

violations.’’ Id. As to the likelihood of 

future violations, BIS may show that the 

violation under investigation or charge 

‘‘is significant, deliberate, covert and/or 

likely to occur again, rather than 

technical or negligent[.]’’ Id. A ‘‘lack of 

information establishing the precise 

time a violation may occur does not 

preclude a finding that a violation is 

imminent, so long as there is sufficient 

reason to believe the likelihood of a 

violation.’’ Id. 

If BIS believes that renewal of a denial 

order is necessary in the public interest 

to prevent an imminent violation, it may 

file a written request for renewal, with 

any modifications if appropriate. 15 

CFR 766.24(d)(1). The written request, 

which must be filed no later than 20 

days prior to the TDO’s expiration, 

should set forth the basis for BIS’s belief 

that renewal is necessary, including any 

additional or changed circumstances. Id. 

‘‘In cases demonstrating a pattern of 

repeated, ongoing and/or continuous 

apparent violations, BIS may request the 

renewal of a temporary denial order for 

an additional period not exceeding one 

year.’’ 6 Id. 

B. The TDO and BIS’s Request for 

Renewal 

The U.S. Commerce Department, 

through BIS, responded to the Russian 

Federation’s (‘‘Russia’s’’) further 

invasion of Ukraine by implementing a 

sweeping series of stringent export 

controls that severely restrict Russia’s 

access to technologies and other items 

that it needs to sustain its aggressive 

military capabilities. These controls 

primarily target Russia’s defense, 

aerospace, and maritime sectors and are 

intended to cut off Russia’s access to 

vital technological inputs, atrophy key 

sectors of its industrial base, and 

undercut Russia’s strategic ambitions to 

exert influence on the world stage. 

Effective February 24, 2022, BIS 

imposed expansive controls on aviationrelated (e.g., Commerce Control List 

Categories 7 and 9) items to Russia, 

including a license requirement for the 

export, reexport or transfer (in-country) 

to Russia of any aircraft or aircraft parts 

specified in Export Control 

Classification Number (‘‘ECCN’’) 9A991 

(section 746.8(a)(1) of the EAR).7 BIS 

will review any export or reexport 

license applications for such items 

under a policy of denial. See section 

746.8(b). Effective March 2, 2022, BIS 

excluded any aircraft registered in, 

owned, or controlled by, or under 

charter or lease by Russia or a national 

of Russia from being eligible for license 

exception Aircraft, Vessels, and 

Spacecraft (‘‘AVS’’) (section 740.15 of 

the EAR).8 Accordingly, any U.S.-origin 

aircraft or foreign aircraft that includes 

more than 25% controlled U.S.-origin 

content, and that is registered in, 

owned, or controlled by, or under 

charter or lease by Russia or a national 

of Russia, is subject to a license 

requirement before it can travel to 

Russia. 

OEE’s request for renewal for a period 

of one year is based upon the facts 

underlying the issuance of the TDO and 

the renewal orders subsequently issued 

in this matter on April 10, 2023 and 

October 6, 2023, as well as other 

evidence developed during this 

investigation. This evidence 

demonstrates that URAL has continued, 

and continues, to act in blatant 

disregard for U.S. export controls and 

the terms of previously issued TDOs. 

Specifically, the initial TDO, issued on 

October 13, 2022, was based on 

evidence that URAL engaged in conduct 

prohibited by the Regulations by 

operating multiple aircraft subject to the 

EAR and classified under ECCN 

9A991.b on flights into Russia after 

March 2, 2022 from destinations 

including, but not limited to, Bishkek, 

Kyrgyzstan; Dushanbe, Tajikistan; 

Khudzhand, Tajikistan; and Tamchy, 

Kyrgyzstan without the required BIS 

authorization.9 Further evidence 

indicated that URAL also operated 

aircraft subject to the EAR on domestic 

flights within Russia, potentially in 

violation of section 736.2(b)(10) of the 

Regulations. 

As discussed in the prior renewal 

orders, BIS presented evidence 

indicating that, after the initial TDO 

issued, URAL continued to operate 

aircraft subject to the EAR and classified 

under ECCN 9A991.b on flights both 

into and within Russia, in violation of 

the Regulations and the TDO itself.10

The April 10, 2023 order detailed flights 

into and out of Russia from/to Bishkek, 

Kyrgyzstan, Dushanbe, Tajikistan, and 

Khujand, Tajikistan, as well as within 

Russia.11 The October 6, 2023 order 

detailed flights into and out of Russia 

from/to Dushanbe, Tajikistan, Tamchy, 

Kyrgyzstan, and Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, as 

well as within Russia.12

Since that time, URAL continued to 

engage in conduct prohibited by the 

TDO and Regulations. In its September 

10, 2024 request for TDO renewal, BIS 

submitted evidence that URAL 

continues to operate aircraft subject to 

the EAR and classified under ECCN 

9A991.b, both on flights into and within 

Russia, in violation of the October 6, 

2023 renewal order and/or the 

Regulations. Specifically, BIS’s evidence 

and related investigation demonstrates 

that URAL continued to operate aircraft 

subject to the EAR, including, but not 

limited to, on flights into and out of 

Russia from/to Khujand, Tajikistan, 

Osh, Kyrgyzstan, and Dushanbe, 

Tajikistan as well as domestically 

within Russia. Information about those 

flights includes, but is not limited to, 

the following:

III. Findings 

Under the applicable standard set 

forth in section 766.24 of the 

Regulations and my review of the entire 

record, I find that the evidence 

presented by BIS convincingly 

demonstrates that URAL has acted in 

violation of the Regulations and the 

TDO; that such violations have been 

significant and deliberate; and that 

given the foregoing and the nature of the 

matters under investigation, there is a 

likelihood of imminent violations. 

Moreover, I find that renewal for an 

extended period is appropriate because 

URAL has engaged in a pattern of 

repeated, ongoing and/or continuous 

apparent violations of the EAR. 

Therefore, renewal of the TDO for one 

year is necessary in the public interest 

to prevent imminent violation of the 

Regulations and to give notice to 

companies and individuals in the 

United States and abroad that they 

should avoid dealing with URAL, in 

connection with export and reexport 

transactions involving items subject to 

the Regulations and in connection with 

any other activity subject to the 

Regulations. 

IV. Order 

It is therefore ordered: 

First, URAL Airlines JSC, Utrenniy 

Lane 1-g, Yekaterinburg, Russia, 620025, 

when acting for or on their behalf, any 

successors or assigns, agents, or 

employees may not, directly or 

indirectly, participate in any way in any 

transaction involving any commodity, 

software or technology (hereinafter 

collectively referred to as ‘‘item’’) 

exported or to be exported from the 

United States that is subject to the EAR, 

or in any other activity subject to the 

EAR including, but not limited to: 

A. Applying for, obtaining, or using 

any license (except directly related to 

safety of flight), license exception, or 

export control document; 

B. Carrying on negotiations 

concerning, or ordering, buying, 

receiving, using, selling, delivering, 

storing, disposing of, forwarding, 

transporting, financing, or otherwise 

servicing in any way, any transaction 

involving any item exported or to be 

exported from the United States that is 

subject to the EAR except directly 

related to safety of flight and authorized 

by BIS pursuant to section 764.3(a)(2) of 

the Regulations, or engaging in any 

other activity subject to the EAR except 

directly related to safety of flight and 

authorized by BIS pursuant to section 

764.3(a)(2) of the Regulations; or 

C. Benefitting in any way from any 

transaction involving any item exported 

or to be exported from the United States 

that is subject to the EAR, or from any 

other activity subject to the EAR except 

directly related to safety of flight and 

authorized by BIS pursuant to section 

764.3(a)(2) of the Regulations. 

Second, that no person may, directly 

or indirectly, do any of the following: 

A. Export, reexport, or transfer (incountry) to or on behalf of URAL any 

item subject to the EAR except directly 

related to safety of flight and authorized 

by BIS pursuant to section 764.3(a)(2) of 

the Regulations; 

B. Take any action that facilitates the 

acquisition or attempted acquisition by 

URAL of the ownership, possession, or 

control of any item subject to the EAR 

that has been or will be exported from 

the United States, including financing 

or other support activities related to a 

transaction whereby URAL acquires or 

attempts to acquire such ownership, 

possession or control except directly 

related to safety of flight and authorized 

by BIS pursuant to section 764.3(a)(2) of 

the Regulations; 

C. Take any action to acquire from or 

to facilitate the acquisition or attempted 

acquisition from URAL of any item 

subject to the EAR that has been 

exported from the United States except 

directly related to safety of flight and 

authorized by BIS pursuant to section 

764.3(a)(2) of the Regulations; 

D. Obtain from URAL in the United 

States any item subject to the EAR with 

knowledge or reason to know that the 

item will be, or is intended to be, 

exported from the United States except 

directly related to safety of flight and 

authorized by BIS pursuant to section 

764.3(a)(2) of the Regulations; or 

E. Engage in any transaction to service 

any item subject to the EAR that has 

been or will be exported from the 

United States and which is owned, 

possessed or controlled by URAL, or 

service any item, of whatever origin, 

that is owned, possessed or controlled 

by URAL if such service involves the 

use of any item subject to the EAR that 

has been or will be exported from the 

United States except directly related to 

safety of flight and authorized by BIS 

pursuant to section 764.3(a)(2) of the 

Regulations. For purposes of this 

paragraph, servicing means installation, 

maintenance, repair, modification, or 

testing. 

Third, that, after notice and 

opportunity for comment as provided in 

section 766.23 of the EAR, any other 

person, firm, corporation, or business 

organization related to URAL by 

ownership, control, position of 

responsibility, affiliation, or other 

connection in the conduct of trade or 

business may also be made subject to 

the provisions of this Order. 

In accordance with the provisions of 

sections 766.24(e) of the EAR, URAL 

may, at any time, appeal this Order by 

filing a full written statement in support 

of the appeal with the Office of the 

Administrative Law Judge, U.S. Coast 

Guard ALJ Docketing Center, 40 South 

Gay Street, Baltimore, Maryland 21202– 

4022. 

In accordance with the provisions of 

section 766.24(d) of the EAR, BIS may 

seek renewal of this Order by filing a 

written request not later than 20 days 

before the expiration date. A renewal

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On July 18, 2014, Commerce 

published in the Federal Register the 

countervailing duty (CVD) order on 

OCTG from Tu ̈rkiye.1 On November 15, 

2023, Commerce published in the 

Federal Register the notice of initiation 

of an administrative review of the 

Order.2 On December 18, 2024, 

Commerce selected Borusan 

Mannesmann Boru Sanayi ve Ticaret 

A.S. (Borusan) and Cayirova Boru 

Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S. (Cayirova) for 

individual examination as the 

mandatory respondents in this 

administrative review.3 On May 21, 

2024, we extended the deadline for the 

preliminary results of this 

administrative review until September 

27, 2024.4 On July 22, 2024, Commerce 

tolled certain deadlines in this 

administrative proceeding by seven 

days.5 The deadline for the preliminary 

results is now October 4, 2024. 

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 in the 

Appendix I 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 https://access.trade.gov/ 

public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx. 

Scope of the Order 

The merchandise covered by the 

Order is OCTG. For a complete 

description of the scope of the Order, 

see the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum. 

Methodology 

Commerce is conducting 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 preliminarily 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).7 For a full description of the 

methodology underlying our 

conclusions, see the Preliminary 

Determination Memorandum. 

Partial Rescission of Administrative 

Review 

Commerce may rescind an 

administrative review of a CVD order 

when no reviewable entries of subject 

merchandise exist during the POR for 

which liquidation is suspended, 

pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3).8

Normally, upon completion of an 

administrative review, suspended 

entries are liquidated at the CVD 

assessment rate calculated for the 

review period.9 Therefore, for an 

administrative review to be conducted, 

there must be a reviewable, suspended 

entry that Commerce can instruct CBP 

to liquidate at the CVD assessment rate 

calculated for the POR.10

Based on our analysis of U.S. Customs 

and Border Protection (CBP) data, we 

determine that 10 companies had no 

entries of subject merchandise during 

the POR. On September 24, 2024, we 

notified interested parties of our intent 

to rescind the administrative review 

with respect to 10 companies because 

there are no reviewable entries.11 No 

parties commented on the notification 

of intent to rescind, in part. Pursuant to 

19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), we are rescinding 

the administrative review of these 

companies. For a list of these companies 

with no reviewable suspended entries of 

subject merchandise, see Appendix II. 

Preliminary Results of Review 

We preliminarily find that the 

following net countervailable subsidy 

rates exist for the period January 1, 

2022, through December 31, 2022: 12
