from the Republic of Turkey: Amended Final Affirmative
Countervailing Duty Determination and Countervailing Duty Order, 81
FR 62874 (September 13, 2016) (Order).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The products covered by the Order are certain heavy walled
rectangular welded steel pipes and tubes of rectangular (including
square) cross section, having a nominal wall thickness of not less than
4 mm. The merchandise includes, but is not limited to, the American
Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) A-500, grade B specifications,
or comparable domestic or foreign specifications.
Included products are those in which: (1) Iron predominates, by
weight, over each of the other contained elements; (2) the carbon
content is 2 percent or less, by weight; and (3) none of the elements
below exceed the quantity, by weight, respectively indicated:
<bullet> 2.50 percent of manganese, or
<bullet> 3.30 percent of silicon, or
<bullet> 1.50 percent of copper, or
<bullet> 1.50 percent of aluminum, or
<bullet> 1.25 percent of chromium, or

The subject merchandise is currently provided for in item

(HTSUS). Subject merchandise may also enter under HTSUS 7306.61.3000.
While the HTSUS subheadings and ASTM specification are provided for
convenience and customs purposes, the written description of the scope
of the Order is dispositive.
Final Results of Changed Circumstances Review
Having received no comments from interested parties and finding no
information or evidence on the record that calls into question the
preliminary results, we continue to find that Ozdemir A.S. is the
successor-in-interest to Ozdemir LLC and, as such, that Ozdemir A.S. is
entitled to Ozdemir LLC's CVD cash deposit rate with respect to entries
of subject merchandise for the reasons stated in the Initiation and
Preliminary Results.\4\ As a result of this determination and
consistent with established practice, we find that Ozdemir A.S. should
receive the CVD cash deposit rate previously assigned to Ozdemir LLC.
Consequently, Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection
to suspend liquidation of all shipments of subject merchandise produced
and/or exported by Ozdemir A.S. and entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date of this
notice in the Federal Register at the CVD cash deposit rate in effect
for Ozdemir LLC. This cash deposit requirement shall remain in effect
until further notice.
