SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Council advises the Secretary of 

Commerce (Secretary) on matters 

relating to the United States 

manufacturing sector and provides a 

means of ensuring regular input from 

the manufacturing sector to the United 

States Government. The Council advises 

the Secretary on government policies 

and programs that affect the global 

competitiveness of U.S. manufacturing 

and proposes solutions to industryrelated problems. The Council also may 

act as a liaison among the stakeholders 

represented by the membership on 

current and emerging issues in the 

manufacturing sector. The Council 

recommends to the Secretary ways to 

ensure the United States remains the 

preeminent destination for investment 

in manufacturing throughout the world. 

The Council consists of 

approximately thirty members 

appointed by the Secretary. Members 

are to represent companies and 

organizations operating in the U.S. 

manufacturing space, including: 

a. Firms that manufacture goods in the 

United States, including 

manufacturing firms that produce 

advanced manufacturing 

technologies; 

b. Associations representing 

manufacturers in the United States; 

c. standards development organizations; 

and 

d. labor unions 

Members shall represent a broad 

range of products, company sizes, 

demographics, and geographic locations 

and be drawn from large, medium, and 

small manufacturing companies, as well 

as from organizations including labor 

unions. Members also may come from 

academia. 

Members of the Council are selected, 

in accordance with applicable 

Department of Commerce guidelines, 

based on their ability to carry out the 

objectives of the Council as set forth 

above and in a manner that ensures that 

the Council is balanced in terms of 

points of view, industry subsector, 

geography, and company size. The 

diverse membership of the Council 

assures perspectives and expertise 

reflecting the full breadth of the 

Council’s responsibilities, and, where 

possible, the Department of Commerce 

will also consider the ethnic, racial, and 

gender diversity and various abilities of 

the United States population. 

Other than members from academia, 

members serve in a Representative 

capacity, representing the views and 

interests of their particular business 

sector, and not as Special Government 

Employees (SGEs). Members from 

academia serve as experts, in their 

personal capacities, and therefore serve 

as Special Government Employees 

(SGEs). 18 U.S.C. 202. SGEs are subject 

to conflict-of-interest laws and 

regulations, including (but not limited 

to) the obligation to annually file a New 

Entrant Confidential Financial 

Disclosure Report (OGE Form 450) and 

complete ethics training. Members will 

be individually advised of the capacity 

in which they will serve through their 

appointment letters. 

Once selected, members will be 

appointed for a term of two years and 

serve at the pleasure of the Secretary. 

The Secretary may at her discretion 

reappoint any member to an additional 

term or terms, provided that the member 

proves to work effectively on the 

Council and their knowledge and advice 

continues to further the objectives of the 

Council. 

Application Instructions

candidates should submit the following

of Countervailing Duty Administrative 

Review and Rescission, in Part; 2019

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce 

(Commerce) determines that certain 

producers/exporters of steel concrete 

reinforcing bar (rebar) from the Republic 

of Turkey (Turkey) received 

countervailable subsidies during the 

period of review (POR) January 1, 2019, 

through December 31, 2019. 

Additionally, we are rescinding the 

review for 21 companies with no

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Commerce published the Preliminary 

Results on December 6, 2021,1 and 

invited comments from interested 

parties. For a complete description of 

the events that occurred since the 

Preliminary Results, see the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum.2

Scope of the Order 3

The merchandise covered by the 

Order is steel concrete reinforcing bar 

(rebar). For a complete description of 

the scope, see the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum. 

Analysis of Comments Received 

All issues raised in the case and 

rebuttal briefs filed by interested parties 

in this review are listed in the appendix 

to this notice and addressed in the 

Issues and Decision Memorandum. The 

Issues and 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 Issues and 

Decision Memorandum can be accessed 

directly at https://access.trade.gov/ 

public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx. 

Changes Since the Preliminary Results 

Based on a review of the record and 

comments received from interested 

parties regarding our Preliminary 

Results, and as explained in the Issues 

and Decision Memorandum, we made 

no changes for the final results of 

review. 

Methodology 

Commerce conducted 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 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.4 For a description of 

the methodology underlying all of 

Commerce’s conclusions, see the Issues 

and Decision Memorandum. 

Rescission of Administrative Review, in 

Part 

It is Commerce’s practice to rescind 

an administrative review of a 

countervailing duty order, pursuant to 

19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), when there are no 

reviewable entries of subject 

merchandise during the POR for which 

liquidation is suspended.5 Normally, 

upon completion of an administrative 

review, the suspended entries are 

liquidated at the countervailing duty 

assessment rate calculated for the 

review period.6 Therefore, for an 

administrative review of a company to 

be conducted, there must be a 

reviewable, suspended entry that 

Commerce can instruct U.S. Customs 

and Border Protection (CBP) to liquidate 

at the countervailing duty assessment 

rate calculated for the review period.7

According to the CBP import data, 

except for the two mandatory 

respondents and the non-selected 

company, the remaining 21 companies 

subject to this review did not have 

reviewable entries of subject 

merchandise during the POR for which 

liquidation is suspended.8 Because
