results of this review; (2) for 

merchandise exported by manufacturers 

or exporters not covered in this review 

but covered in a prior segment of the 

proceeding, the cash deposit rate will 

continue to be the company-specific rate 

published for the most recently 

completed segment of this proceeding; 

(3) if the exporter is not a firm covered 

in this review, a prior review, or the 

less-than-fair-value investigation but the 

manufacturer is, the cash deposit rate 

will be the rate established for the most 

recently completed segment of this 

proceeding for the manufacturer of the 

merchandise; (4) if neither the exporter

Notifications to Importers 

This notice serves as a preliminary

regarding the reimbursement of 

antidumping duties prior to liquidation 

of the relevant entries during this 

review period. Failure to comply with 

this requirement could result in the 

Secretary’s presumption that 

reimbursement of antidumping duties 

occurred and the subsequent assessment 

of doubled antidumping duties.

results in accordance with sections 

751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

Circular Welded Carbon Steel Pipes

Results of Countervailing Duty 

Administrative Review and Preliminary 

Intent To Rescind in Part; Calendar 

Year 2013 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce 

(the Department) is conducting an 

administrative review of the 

countervailing duty (CVD) order on 

circular welded carbon steel pipes and 

tubesfrom Turkey for the period of 

review (POR) of January 1, 2013, 

through December 31, 2013. The review 

covers one producer/exporter of subject 

merchandise that the Department 

selected for individual examination: the 

Borusan Group, Borusan Holding, A.S. 

(Borusan Holding), Borusan 

Mannesmann Boru Sanayi ve Ticaret 

A.S. (Borusan), Borusan Istikbal Ticaret 

T.A.S. (Istikbal), and Borusan Lojistik 

Dagitim Pepolama Tasimacilik ve Tic 

A.S. (Borusan Lojistik) (collectively, the 

Borusan Companies). Additionally, this 

review covers three firms that were not 

individually examined: Toscelik Profil 

ve Sac Endustrisi A.S. (Toscelik Profil), 

Toscelik Metal Ticaret AS., and Tosyali 

Dis Ticaret AS. (Tosyali) (collectively, 

the Toscelik Companies),1 Umran Celik 

Born Sanayii A.S. (also known as 

Umran Steel Pipe Inc.) (Umran), and 

Guven Steel Pipe (also known as Guven 

Celik Born San. Ve Tic. Ltd.) (Guven). 

We preliminarily determine that the 

Borusan Companies received 

countervailable subsidies during the 

POR. For purposes of these preliminary 

results, we assigned the Toscelik 

Companies, Umran and Guven, the nonselected respondents, the same net 

subsidy rate calculated for the Borusan 

Companies. Additionally, we 

preliminarily determine to rescind the 

administrative reviews on Erbosan 

Erciyas Boru Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S. 

(Erbosan AS) and Erbosan Erciyas Pipe 

Industry and Trade Co. Kayseri Free 

Zone Branch (Erbosan FZB), 

(collectively Erbosan) and the Yucel 

Group and all affiliates including Yucel 

Boru ye Profil Endustrisi A.S, Yucelboru 

Ihracat Ithalat ye Pazarlama A.S, and 

Cayirova Born Sanayi ye Ticaret A.S.) 

(collectively, the Yucel Companies).2

Intent To Rescind the 2013 

Administrative Review, in Part 

Erbosan and the Yucel Companies 

submitted letters to the Department on 

May 5, 2014, June 27, 2014, 

respectively, timely certifying that they 

had no sales, shipments, or entries, 

directly or indirectly, of subject 

merchandise to the United States during 

the POR.3 Petitioners did not comment 

on Erbosan’s and Yucel’s claims of no 

sales, shipments, or entries. On May 19 

and July 14, 2014, we transmitted ‘‘NoShipment Inquiries’’ to U.S. Customs 

and Border Protection (CBP) regarding 

these companies. We did not receive 

any information from CBP contrary to 

Erbosan’s and Yucel’s claims of no 

sales, shipments, or entries of subject 

merchandise to the United States during 

the POR. Accordingly, based on the 

record evidence, we preliminarily 

determine that Erbosan and Yucel, did 

not ship subject merchandise to the 

United States during the POR. 

Therefore, in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.213(d)(3), and consistent with our 

practice,4 we preliminarily determine to 

rescind the review for Erbosan and 

Yucel. 

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,

Methodology 

The Department 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 

countervailable, we preliminarily 

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

government financial contribution that 

gives rise to a benefit to the recipient, 

and that the subsidy is specific.5 For a

Frontseating Service Valves From the 

People’s Republic of China: 

Preliminary Results of Antidumping 

Duty Administrative Review; 2013– 

2014 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce 

(‘‘the Department’’) is conducting an 

administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order on frontseating 

service valves from the People’s 

Republic of China (‘‘PRC’’). The period 

of review (‘‘POR’’) is April 1, 2013, 

through April 28, 2014. The review 

covers one exporter of the subject 

merchandise, Zhejiang Sanhua Co., Ltd. 

(‘‘Sanhua’’). The Department 

preliminarily finds that Sanhua made 

no sales of subject merchandise at less 

than normal value during the POR. 

Interested parties are invited to 

comment on these preliminary results. 

DATES: Effective Date: April 8, 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Scope of the Order 

The merchandise covered by this 

order is frontseating service valves, 

assembled or unassembled, complete or 

incomplete, and certain parts thereof of 

any size, configuration, material 

composition or connection type.1

Frontseating service valves are classified 

under subheading 8481.80.1095, and 

also have been classified under 

subheading 8415.90.80.85, of the 

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States (‘‘HTSUS’’). It is possible 

for frontseating service valves to be 

manufactured out of primary materials 

other than copper and brass, in which 

case they would be classified under 

HTSUS subheadings 8481.80.3040, 

8481.80.3090, or 8481.80.5090. In 

addition, if unassembled or incomplete 

frontseating service valves are imported, 

the various parts or components would 

be classified under HTSUS subheadings 

8481.90.1000, 8481.90.3000, or 

8481.90.5000. The HTSUS subheadings 

are provided for convenience and 

customs purposes, but the written 

description of the scope of this 

proceeding is dispositive. 

Methodology 

The Department conducted this 

review in accordance with section 

751(a)(1)(B) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 

amended (‘‘the Act’’). Constructed 

export prices are calculated in 

accordance with section 772(b) of the 

Act. Because the PRC is a non-market 

economy (‘‘NME’’) within the meaning 

of section 771(18) of the Act, normal 

value is calculated in accordance with 

section 773(c) of the Act. 

For a full description of the 

methodology underlying our 

preliminary results, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum. 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’’).2

ACCESS is available to registered users 

at http://access.trade.gov and in the 

Central Records Unit, room 7046 of the 

main Department of Commerce 

building. In addition, a complete 

version of the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum can be accessed directly 

on the internet at http://www.trade.gov/ 

enforcement/. The signed Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum and the 

electronic version of the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum are identical in 

content. A list of the topics discussed in 

the Preliminary Decision Memorandum, 

is attached as the Appendix to this 

notice. 

Preliminary Results of Review 

The Department preliminarily 

determines that the following weightedaverage dumping margin exists for the 

POR April 1, 2013, through April 28, 

2014:
