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\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ We have made no changes to this rate since the Preliminary
Results. Therefore, no additional disclosure of calculations is
necessary for these final results under 19 CFR 351.224(b).

Subsidy Rate
Company (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merchandise by Ozdemir entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ See also section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act (``The {results of
the{time} determination . . . shall be the basis for the assessment
of countervailing or antidumping duties on entries of merchandise
covered by the determination and for deposits of estimated
duties.'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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
