Scope of the Order 

The merchandise covered by the 

Order is circular welded carbon steel 

pipes and tubes from Turkey. 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(a)(1)(A) 

of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 

(the Act). For each of the subsidy 

programs found to be countervailable, 

we preliminarily determine that there is 

a subsidy, i.e., a financial contribution 

by an ‘‘authority’’ that confers a benefit 

to the recipient, and that the subsidy is 

specific.8 For a full description of the 

methodology underlying our 

conclusions, see the accompanying 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum. 

Intent To Rescind Administrative 

Review, in Part 

On May 11, 2020, Erbosan Erciyas 

Boru Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S. (Erbosan) 

timely filed a no-shipments 

certification.9 On May 18, 2020, 

Toscelik Profil ve Sac Endustrisi A.S., 

Tosyali Dis Ticaret A.S., and Toscelik 

Metal Ticaret A.S. (collectively, the 

Tosc ̧elik Companies), timely submitted 

a no-shipments certification.10 On May 

20, 2020, Cayirova Boru Sanayi ve 

Ticaret A.S., Yucel Boru ve Profil 

Endustrisi A.S. and Yucelboru Ihracat 

Ithalat ve Pazarlama A.S. (collectively, 

the Yucel Companies) timely filed a noshipments certification.11 On June 15, 

2020, Cinar Boru Profil Sanayi ve 

Ticaret Anonim Sirketi (Cinar Boru) 

submitted a claim of no shipment.12

Based on information received from 

U.S. Customs and Border Protection 

(CBP),13 as well as CBP’s responses to 

our further inquiries,14 we intend to 

rescind the administrative review with 

regard to Toscelik Companies, the Yucel 

Companies, and Cinar Boru in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3) 

in the final results of review. 

Additionally, on June 8, 2020, the 

Borusan Companies submitted a letter to 

Commerce timely certifying that 

Borusan Istikbal, Borusan Birlesik Boru 

Fabrikalari San ve Tic. (Borusan 

Fabrikalari), Borusan Gemlik Boru 

Tesisleri A.S. (Borusan Gemlik), 

Borusan Ihracat Ithalat ve Dagitim A.S. 

(Borusan Dagitim), Tubeco Pipe and 

Steel Corporation (Tubeco), and 

Borusan Lojistik Dagitim Depolama 

Tasimacilik ve Ticaret A.S. (Borusan 

Lojistik) had no entries, exports, or sales 

of subject merchandise during the 

POR.15 Based on information from CBP, 

we intend to rescind the administrative 

review with regard to Borusan 

Fabrikalari, Borusan Gemlik, Borusan 

Dagitim, Tubeco, and Borusan Lojistik 

in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.213(d)(3).16 We do not intend to 

rescind the review for Istikbal, because 

we preliminarily determine that it is 

part of the cross-owned entity referred 

to as the Borusan Companies, the 

mandatory respondent in this review. 

Regarding Erbosan, the results of the 

query Commerce performed on the trade 

database maintained by CBP indicated 

that shipments produced and/or 

exported by Erbosan entered the United 

States during the POR.17 Consistent 

with Commerce’s findings in the 

Respondent Selection Memorandum,18

we preliminarily determine that subject 

merchandise produced and/or exported 

by Erbosan entered the United States 

during the POR,. Therefore, we are not 

rescinding the review with regard to 

Erbosan. 

Preliminary Results of the Review 

In accordance with section 

751(a)(1)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.221(b)(4), for the period January 1, 

2019, through December 31, 2019, we 

determine that the net subsidy rates for 

the producers/exporters under review to 

be as follows:

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

countervailing duties on all appropriate

equal to the cash deposit of estimated 

countervailing duties required at the 

time of entry, or withdrawal from 

warehouse, for consumption, during the 

period January 1, 2019, through 

December 31, 2019, in accordance with 

19 CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i). 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 Requirements 

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

Act, upon issuance of the final results, 

Commerce also intends to instruct CBP 

to collect cash deposits of estimated 

countervailing duties for each of the 

companies listed above on shipments of 

subject merchandise entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after the date of 

publication of the final results of this 

administrative review, except, where 

the rate calculated in the final results is 

zero or de minimis, no cash deposit will 

be required. 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 all-others rate 

applicable to the company, as 

appropriate. These cash deposit 

requirements, when imposed, shall 

remain in effect until further notice. 

Disclosure and Public Comment 

We will disclose to parties to this 

proceeding the calculations performed 

in reaching the preliminary results 

within five days of the date of 

publication of these preliminary 

results.19 Interested parties may submit 

written arguments (case briefs) within 

30 days of publication of the 

preliminary results and rebuttal 

comments (rebuttal briefs) within seven

briefs. Parties who submit arguments are 

requested to submit with the argument:

summary of the argument; and (3) a 

table of authorities.21 Note that 

Commerce has temporarily modified 

certain of its requirements for serving 

documents containing business 

proprietary information, until further 

notice.22

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), 

interested parties who wish to request a 

hearing must submit a written request to 

the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement 

and Compliance, U.S. Department of 

Commerce, within 30 days after the date
