45956 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 156 / Tuesday, August 17, 2021 / Notices 

2On March 6, 2012, APHIS published in the 

Federal Register (77 FR 13258–13260, Docket No. 

APHIS–2011–0129) a notice describing our public 

review process for soliciting public comments and 

information when considering petitions for 

determinations of nonregulated status for organisms 

developed using genetic engineering. To view the 

notice, go to www.regulations.gov and enter APHIS– 

2011–0129 in the Search field.

and the comments that we received, go to

in the Search field. 

unlikely to pose a plant pest risk and, 

therefore, should not be regulated under 

APHIS’ regulations in 7 CFR part 340. 

According to our process 2 for 

soliciting public comment when 

considering petitions for determination 

of nonregulated status of organisms 

developed using genetic engineering, 

APHIS accepts written comments 

regarding a petition once APHIS deems 

the petition complete. On May 28, 2020, 

APHIS announced in the Federal 

Register 3 (85 FR 32004–32005, Docket 

No. APHIS–2020–0023) the availability 

of the BASF petition for public 

comment. APHIS solicited comments on 

the petition for 60 days ending July 27, 

2020. 

APHIS received nine comments 

during the comment period. They were 

from the agricultural and private 

sectors. Five comments generally 

supported BASF’s petition, while four 

expressed objections to crops developed 

or modified through genetic 

engineering. 

After public comments are received 

on a completed petition, APHIS 

evaluates those comments and then 

provides a second opportunity for 

public involvement in our decisionmaking process. According to our public 

review process (see footnote 2), the 

second opportunity for public 

involvement follows one of two 

approaches, as described below. 

If APHIS decides, based on its review 

of the petition and its evaluation and 

analysis of comments received during 

the 60-day public comment period on 

the petition, that the petition involves 

an organism that raises no substantive 

new issues, APHIS will follow 

Approach 1 for public involvement. 

Under Approach 1, APHIS prepares and 

announces in the Federal Register the 

availability of APHIS’ preliminary 

regulatory determination along with its 

draft EA, preliminary finding of no 

significant impact (FONSI), and its draft 

plant pest risk assessment (PPRA) for a 

30-day public review period. APHIS 

will evaluate any information received 

related to the petition and its supporting 

documents during the 30-day public 

review period. If APHIS determines that 

no substantive information has been 

received that would warrant APHIS 

altering its preliminary regulatory 

determination or FONSI, or 

substantially change the analysis of 

impacts in the EA, our preliminary 

regulatory determination will become 

final and effective upon notification of 

the public through an announcement on 

our website. No further Federal Register 

notice will be published announcing the 

final regulatory determination. 

Under Approach 2, if APHIS decides, 

based on its review of the petition and 

its evaluation and analysis of comments 

received during the 60-day public 

comment period on the petition, that the 

petition involves an organism that raises 

substantive new issues, APHIS first 

solicits written comments from the 

public on a draft EA and draft PPRA for 

a 30-day comment period through the 

publication of a Federal Register notice. 

Then, after reviewing and evaluating the 

comments on the draft EA and draft 

PPRA and other information, APHIS 

will revise the draft PPRA as necessary. 

It will then prepare a final EA, and 

based on the final EA, a National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) 

decision document (either a FONSI or a 

notice of intent to prepare an 

environmental impact statement). 

For this petition, we will be following 

Approach 2. 

As part of our decision-making 

process regarding an organism’s 

regulatory status, APHIS prepared a 

PPRA to assess the plant pest risk of the 

organism, and an EA to evaluate 

potential impacts on the human 

environment. This will provide the 

Agency and the public with a review 

and analysis of any potential 

environmental impacts that may result 

if the petition request is approved. 

APHIS’ draft PPRA compared the pest 

risk posed by soybean event GMB151 

with that of the unmodified variety from 

which it was derived. The draft PPRA 

concluded that soybean event GMB151 

is unlikely to pose an increased plant 

pest risk compared to the unmodified 

soybean. 

The draft EA evaluated potential 

impacts that may result from the 

commercial production of GMB151 

soybean, to include potential impacts on 

conventional and organic soybean 

production; the acreage and area 

required for U.S. soybean production; 

agronomic practices and inputs; the 

physical environment; biological 

resources; human health and worker 

safety; animal health and welfare; and 

socioeconomic impacts. No significant 

impacts were identified with the 

production and marketing of GMB151 

soybean. 

The draft EA was prepared in 

accordance with (1) NEPA, as amended 

(42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), (2) regulations 

of the Council on Environmental 

Quality for implementing the 

procedural provisions of NEPA (40 CFR 

parts 1500–1508), (3) USDA regulations 

implementing NEPA (7 CFR part 1b), 

and (4) APHIS’ NEPA Implementing 

Procedures (7 CFR part 372). 

We are making available for a 30-day 

review period our draft EA and draft 

PPRA. These documents are available as 

indicated under ADDRESSES and FOR

FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT above. 

Copies of these documents may also be 

obtained from the person listed under 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. 

After the 30-day review period closes, 

APHIS will review and evaluate any 

information received during the 30-day 

review period.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Commerce is conducting an 

administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order on circular 

welded carbon steel standard pipe and 

tube products (welded pipe and tube) 

from Turkey. The period of review 

(POR) is May 1, 2019, through April 30, 

2020. Commerce published the notice of 

initiation of this administrative review 

on July 10, 2020.1 The preliminary 

results are listed below in the section 

titled ‘‘Preliminary Results of Review.’’ 

This review covers 20 companies. The 

sole mandatory respondent in this 

administrative review is Borusan 

Mannesmann Boru Sanayi ve Ticaret 

A.S. (Borusan Mannesmann) and 

Borusan Istikbal Ticaret T.A.S. (Istikbal) 

(collectively, Borusan).2 On March 25, 

2021, we extended the deadline for the 

preliminary results by 120 days to July 

30, 2021.3 For a complete description of 

the events that followed the initiation of 

this administrative review, see the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum.4 A 

list of the topics discussed in the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum is 

attached as 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 http://enforcement.trade.gov/ 

frn/. 

Scope of the Order 

The merchandise covered by the order 

is circular welded carbon steel standard 

pipe and tube products. For a complete 

description of the scope of the order, see 

the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. 

Methodology 

Commerce is conducting this review 

in accordance with section 751 of the 

Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). 

Export price is calculated in accordance 

with section 772 of the Act. Normal 

value is calculated in accordance with 

section 773 of the Act. 

Preliminary Determination of No 

Shipments 

Between June 3, and August 14, 2021, 

14 companies timely submitted letters 

to Commerce certifying that they had no 

sales, shipments, or entries of the 

subject merchandise to the United 

States during the POR.5

With respect to Istikbal, one of the 

companies that certified no shipment 

during the POR, we continue to find 

Istikbal to be part of the single entity, 

Borusan, and we find no record 

evidence that warrants altering this 

treatment. Therefore, because we find 

that Borusan had shipments during this 

POR, we have not made a preliminary 

determination of no shipments with 

respect to Istikbal. 

With respect to the remaining 13 

companies that certified no shipment, 

U.S. Customs and Border Protection 

(CBP) did not have any information to 

contradict these claims of no shipment
