6Commerce initiated this review on both HDM 

C ̧elik and HDM Spiral Kaynakli Celik Boru A.S. 

(HDM Spiral). See Initiation Notice, 88 FR at 44273. 

However, in the LTFV investigation, we found that 

HDM C ̧elik acquired HDM Spiral on October 31, 

2017, and HDM Spiral ceased to exist. See Large 

Diameter Welded Pipe from the Republic of Turkey: 

Preliminary Determination of Sales at Less Than 

Fair Value and Postponement of Final 

Determination, 83 FR 43646, 43647 (August 27,

Methodology 

Commerce conducted this review in 

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

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 description of the 

methodology underlying all of 

Commerce’s conclusions, see the Issues 

and Decision Memorandum. 

Final Results of Review 

We determine that, for the period 

January 1, 2022, through December 31, 

2022, the following total net 

countervailable subsidy rates exist: 

Producer/exporter 

Subsidy rate 

(percent ad 

valorem)

Ltd ....................................... 2.18

Ticaret A.S.6 ........................ 6.31 

Disclosure 

Normally, Commerce discloses to 

interested parties the calculations 

performed in connection with the final 

results of review within five days of 

public announcement or, if there is no 

public announcement, within five days 

of the date of publication of the notice 

of final results in the Federal Register, 

in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). 

However, because we did not make any 

changes to the calculations in the 

Preliminary Results, there are no 

calculations to disclose. 

Assessment Rate 

Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the 

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

Commerce has determined, and U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 

shall assess, countervailing duties on all 

appropriate entries of subject 

merchandise in accordance with the 

final results of this review, for the 

above-listed companies at the applicable 

ad valorem assessment rates listed. 

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 

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 Rates 

In accordance with section 751(a)(1) 

of the Act, Commerce intends to instruct 

CBP to collect cash deposits of 

estimated countervailing duties in the 

amounts shown for the companies listed 

above for shipments of the subject 

merchandise entered, or withdrawn 

from warehouse for consumption on or 

after the date of publication of the final 

results of this administrative review. 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 allothers rate applicable to the company, 

as appropriate. These cash deposits, 

effective upon the publication of the 

final results of this review, shall remain 

in effect until further notice. 

Administrative Protective Order 

This notice also serves as a final 

reminder to parties subject to 

administrative protective order (APO) of 

their responsibility concerning the 

return or destruction 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 terms of an 

APO is a sanctionable violation. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

These final results are issued and 

published in accordance with sections 

751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 

CFR 351.221(b)(5).

AP will review a completed draft of the 

Council’s Ecosystem Approach to

latest data and scientific information, 

and recent feedback from the EOP 

Committee and AP on an earlier draft. 

The EOP Committee and AP will 

provide any additional feedback before 

the 2024 EAFM risk assessment report

Agency Information Collection 

Activities; Submission to the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for 

Review and Approval; Comment 

Request; Reporting of Sea Turtle 

Incidental Takes in Virginia 

Chesapeake Bay Pound Net 

Operations 

The Department of Commerce will 

submit the following information 

collection request to the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for 

review and clearance in accordance 

with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 

1995, on or after the date of publication 

of this notice. We invite the general 

public and other Federal agencies to 

comment on proposed, and continuing 

information collections, which helps us 

assess the impact of our information 

collection requirements and minimize 

the public’s reporting burden. Public 

comments were previously requested 

via the Federal Register on August 7, 

2024 during a 60-day comment period. 

This notice allows for an additional 30 

days for public comments. 

Agency: National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Commerce. 

Title: Reporting of Sea Turtle 

Incidental Takes in Virginia Chesapeake 

Bay Pound Net Operations. 

OMB Control Number: 0648–0470. 

Form Number(s): None. 

Type of Request: Regular submission 

(extension of a current information 

collection). 

Number of Respondents: 33. 

Average Hours per Response: 10 

minutes. 

Total Annual Burden Hours: 167 

hours. 

Needs and Uses: This is a request for 

renewal of an approved information 

collection. 

Since 2002, the National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) 

National Marine Fisheries Service 

(NMFS) has promulgated several rules 

restricting the use of large mesh and 

stringer pound net leaders in certain 

Virginia Chesapeake Bay waters during 

the late spring/early summer each year. 

On June 17, 2002, an interim final rule 

was published (67 FR 41196) restricting 

leader use, which also required yearround reporting of sea turtle takes. In 

2004, NMFS issued a final rule further 

restricting pound net leader use in 

Virginia (69 FR 24997). The 2004 rule 

retained the reporting requirement from 

the 2002 rule. These regulations 

(modifications to 50 CFR parts 222 and 

223) were implemented as a result of 

high sea turtle strandings each spring in 

Virginia and the documented take of sea 

turtles in pound net leaders. On March 

31, 2018, a revised Biological Opinion 

on NMFS gear regulations in the 

Virginia pound net fishery was 

completed pursuant to section 7 of the 

Endangered Species Act of 1973, as 

amended (ESA). An Incidental Take 

Statement was included in this 

Biological Opinion, exempting the 

incidental take of a certain number of 

loggerhead, Kemp’s ridley, green and 

leatherback sea turtles in pound net 

operations. 

A non-discretionary term and 

condition of the Incidental Take 

Statement involved the reporting to 

NMFS of live or dead sea turtles taken 

in pound net operations (reflected in 50 

CFR 223.206). The collection of this 

information on the incidental take of sea 

turtles in the Virginia pound net fishery 

is necessary to ensure sea turtles are 

being conserved and protected, as 

mandated by the ESA. Documenting the 

accurate occurrence of sea turtle 

incidental take in pound net operations 

will help to determine if additional 

regulatory actions or management 

measures are necessary to protect sea 

turtles caught in pound net operations. 

This information will help NMFS better 

assess the Virginia pound net fishery 

and its impacts (or lack thereof) on sea 

turtle populations in the Virginia 

Chesapeake Bay. The collection of this 

information is also imperative to ensure 

that the Incidental Take Statement is not 

being exceeded, the anticipated take 

levels are appropriate, and the effects 

analysis in the Biological Opinion is 

accurate. Further, reporting the take of 

live, injured sea turtles caught in pound 

net gear will ensure these turtles are 

transferred immediately to a stranding 

and rehabilitation center for appropriate 

medical treatment. 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

households. 

Frequency: Reporting occurs when sea 

turtles are encountered in Virginia 

pound net gear, which could occur 

occasionally from May through 

November. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory. 

Legal Authority: Endangered Species 

Act.
