Assessment Rates 

Consistent with section 751(a)(1) of 

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

issuance of the final results, the 

Department will determine, and U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 

shall assess, countervailing duties on all 

appropriate entries covered by this 

review. We intend to issue instructions 

to CBP 15 days after publication of the 

final results of this review. 

As a result of Toscelik’s exclusion 

from the CVD order on OCTG from 

Turkey, the Department will instruct 

CBP to terminate the suspension of 

liquidation of entries of subject 

merchandise where Toscelik acted as 

both the producer and exporter during 

the period January 1, 2015, through 

December 31, 2015, and to liquidate, 

without regard to countervailing duties, 

all entries of OCTG produced and 

exported by Toscelik currently 

suspended. Entries of subject 

merchandise exported to the United 

States by any other producer and 

exporter combination involving 

Toscelik are not entitled to this 

exclusion from suspension of 

liquidation and are subject to the cash 

deposit rate for the ‘‘all others’’ entity. 

The Department intends to issue 

appropriate assessment instructions 

directly to CBP 15 days after publication 

of this notice in the Federal Register. 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

In accordance with section 

751(a)(2)(C) of the Act, the Department 

intends to instruct CBP to collect cash 

deposits of estimated countervailing 

duties in the amount shown above for 

Borusan, should the final results of this 

administrative review remain the same 

as these preliminary results; if the rate 

is zero or de minimis, then zero cash 

deposit will be required. For all nonreviewed firms, we will instruct CBP to 

continue to collect cash deposits at the 

most recent company specific or allothers rate applicable to the company. 

These cash deposit requirements, when 

imposed, shall remain in effect until 

further notice. 

Disclosure and Public Comment 

We will disclose to parties in this 

review the calculations performed in 

reaching the preliminary results within 

five days of publication of these 

preliminary results.12 Interested parties 

may submit written comments (case

Circular Welded Carbon Steel Pipes 

and Tubes From Turkey: Final Results 

of Expedited Fourth Sunset Review of 

Countervailing Duty Order 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: On June 1, 2017, the 

Department of Commerce (the 

Department) initiated a sunset review of 

the countervailing duty (CVD) order on 

circular welded carbon steel pipes and 

tubes (steel pipes and tubes) from 

Turkey pursuant to section 751(c) of the 

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

The Department has conducted an 

expedited sunset review of this order 

pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(B) of the 

Act and 19 CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2). 

As a result of this sunset review, the 

Department finds that revocation of the 

CVD order is likely to lead to 

continuation or recurrence of a 

countervailable subsidy at the levels 

indicated in the ‘‘Final Results of 

Review’’ section of this notice. 

DATES: Effective October 6, 2017.

parties: Bull Moose, Exltube, TMK 

IPSCO, and Zekelman Industries 

(hereinafter referred to as the domestic 

interested parties).3 The domestic 

interested parties claimed interested 

party status under section 771(9)(C) of 

the Act, as manufacturers, producers, or 

wholesalers in the United States of a 

domestic like product.4 On June 30, 

2017, the domestic interested parties 

submitted their substantive response.5

On July 3, 2017, the Government of 

Turkey (GOT) submitted its substantive 

response in which it expressed its intent 

to participate in this review as the 

government of the country in which 

subject merchandise is produced and 

exported.6 On July 10, 2017, the 

domestic interested parties submitted 

rebuttal comments to the GOT 

Substantive Response.7

The Department did not receive any 

substantive responses from Turkish 

producers or exporters of the 

merchandise covered by this order. A 

government’s response alone, normally, 

is not sufficient for the Department to 

conduct a full sunset review, unless the 

investigation was conducted on an 

aggregate basis.8 Because this 

investigation was conducted on a 

company-specific, rather than an 

aggregate, basis,9 we determined that no 

company respondent interested party 

submitted a substantive response, and 

thus, conducted an expedited (120-day) 

sunset review of this order.10

Scope of the Order 

The products covered by the order are 

certain welded carbon steel pipes and 

tubes with an outside diameter of 0.375 

inch or more, but not over 16 inches, of 

any wall thickness (pipes and tubes) 

from Turkey. These products are 

currently provided for under the 

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States (HTSUS) as item numbers 

7306.30.10, 7306.30.50, and 7306.90.10. 

Although the HTSUS subheadings are 

provided for convenience and customs 

purposes, the written description of the 

merchandise is dispositive. 

Analysis of Comments Received 

All issues raised in this review are 

addressed in the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum, which is dated 

concurrently with and adopted by this 

notice.11 The issues discussed in the 

Issues and Decision Memorandum 

include the likelihood of continuation 

or recurrence of a countervailable 

subsidy and the net countervailable 

subsidy likely to prevail if the Order 

were revoked. Parties can find a 

complete discussion of all issues raised 

in this expedited sunset review and the 

corresponding recommendations in this 

public memorandum, which is on file 

electronically via the Enforcement and 

Compliance Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Centralized 

Electronic Service System (ACCESS). 

ACCESS is available to registered users 

at https://access.trade.gov and to all 

parties in the Central Records Unit, 

room B8024 of the main Department of 

Commerce building. In addition, a 

complete version of the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum can be accessed 

directly on the Internet at http://

enforcement.trade.gov/frn/index.html. 

The signed Issues and Decision 

Memorandum and the electronic 

versions of the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum are identical in content. 

Final Results of Review 

As a result of this review, the 

Department determines that revocation 

of the CVD order would likely lead to 

continuation or recurrence of a 

countervailable subsidy at the rates 

listed below:
