SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On November 4, 2022, Commerce published the Preliminary Results and
invited interested parties to comment.\1\ No interested party submitted
comments on the Preliminary Results. Accordingly, the final results
remain unchanged from the Preliminary Results. Commerce conducted this
administrative review in accordance with section 751(a)(1)(A) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).

Disclosure
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ Commerce found the following companies to be cross-owned
with Celik Halat: Dogan Sirketler Grubu Holding A.S.; and Adilbey
Holding A.S.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Because Commerce received no comments on the Preliminary Results,
we have not modified our analysis and no decision memorandum
accompanies this Federal Register notice. We are adopting the
Preliminary Results as the final results of this review. Consequently,
there are no new calculations to disclose in accordance with 19 CFR
351.224(b) for these final results.
Assessment Rates
Consistent with section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.212(b)(2), upon completion of the administrative review, Commerce
shall 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 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
In accordance with section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act, Commerce also
intends to instruct CBP to collect cash deposits of estimated
countervailing duties in the amount shown for the company listed above
with regard to shipments of subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn
from warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of publication of
the final results of this review. For all non-reviewed firms, Commerce
will instruct CBP to continue to collect cash deposits at the all-
others rate or the most recent company-specific rate applicable to the
company, as appropriate. These cash deposit requirements, when imposed,
shall remain in effect until further notice.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to an
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the destruction of proprietary information disclosed under
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely written
notification of the return or 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 sanctionable
violation.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5).
Dated: January 12, 2023.

Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
