SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background On October 5, 2021, Commerce published the preliminary results of the administrative review with respect to Ozdemir,[1]
                    
                     and gave interested parties an opportunity to comment.[2]
                    
                     No interested party submitted comments. Commerce has conducted this review in accordance with section 751(a)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). 
 
 Scope of the Order [3] The products covered by the 
                    *Order*
                     are shipments of certain heavy walled rectangular welded steel pipes and tubes of rectangular (including square) cross section, having a nominal wall thickness of not less than 4 mm. The merchandise includes, but is not limited to, the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) A-500, grade B specifications, or comparable domestic or foreign specifications. Included products are those in which: (1) Iron predominates, by weight, over each of the other contained elements; (2) the carbon content is 2 percent or less, by weight; and (3) none of the elements below exceed the quantity, by weight, respectively indicated: 2.50 percent of manganese, or
                3.30 percent of silicon, or
                1.50 percent of copper, or
                1.50 percent of aluminum, or
                1.25 percent of chromium, or
                0.30 percent of cobalt, or
                0.40 percent of lead, or
                2.0 percent of nickel, or
                0.30 percent of tungsten, or
                0.80 percent of molybdenum, or
                0.10 percent of niobium (also called columbium), or
                0.30 percent of vanadium, or
                0.30 percent of zirconium. The subject merchandise is currently provided for in item 7306.61.1000 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS). Subject merchandise may also enter under HTSUS 7306.61.3000. While the HTSUS subheadings and ASTM specification are provided for convenience and customs purposes, the written description of the scope of this 
                    *Order*
                     is dispositive. Changes Since the Preliminary Results No interested parties filed comments on the 
                    *Preliminary Results*
                     and we made no changes to the subsidy calculations for Ozdemir in the final results of this review. Thus, there is no decision memorandum accompanying these final results. Final Results of Administrative Review In accordance with section 777A(e)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5), we determine that the following net countervailable subsidy rate exists for Ozdemir for the period January 1, 2019, through December 31, 2019: [4] Company
Subsidy 
                             Rate 
                             (percent  
                             
                                *ad valorem*)Ozdemir Boru Profil San. Ve Tic. Ltd. Sti
* 0.26* 
                        *de minimis*.
 Assessment Rates Commerce shall determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, countervailing duties on all appropriate entries covered by this review, pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(2). Because we calculated a 
                    *de minimis*
                     countervailable subsidy rate for Ozdemir in the final results of this review, we intend to instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to countervailing duties in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(2) and 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2). 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 Requirement Pursuant to section 751(a)(1) of the Act, Commerce also intends to instruct CBP to collect cash deposits of estimated countervailing duties at the appropriate rates.[5]
                    
                     For shipments of subject merchandise by Ozdemir entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of publication of these final results, the cash deposit rate will be zero. For all non-reviewed firms, we will instruct CBP to continue to collect cash deposits at the most recent company-specific or all-others rate applicable to the company, as appropriate. These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice. Administrative Protective Order This notice also serves as a final reminder to parties subject to an 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), which continues to govern business proprietary information in this segment of proceeding. 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 violation which is subject to sanction. Notification to Interested Parties This notice of final results is issued and published in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5). Dated: January 26, 2022. Lisa W. Wang, Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
