Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on our analysis of comments received from interested parties,
we made changes to the net countervailable subsidy rates for Borusan
Mannesmann Boru Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S. and [Ccedil]ayirova Boru Sanayi
ve Ticaret A.[Scedil]. For a discussion of these changes, see the
Issues and Decision Memorandum.
Methodology
Commerce conducted 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 determine that
there is a subsidy, i.e., a government-provided financial contribution
that gives rise to a benefit to the recipient, and that the subsidy is
specific.\6\ For a full description of the methodology underlying all
of Commerce's conclusions, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ See sections 771(5)(B) and (D) of the Act regarding
financial contribution; section 771(5)(E) of the Act regarding
benefit; and section 771(5A) of the Act regarding specificity.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Assessment
In accordance with section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.212(b)(2), Commerce shall determine, and U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) shall assess, countervailing duties on all appropriate
entries covered by this review. Commerce intends to issue assessment
instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days after 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)(1) and (a)(2)(C) of the Act,
Commerce also intends to instruct CBP to collect cash deposits of
estimated countervailing duties in the amounts shown above for the
companies listed above for shipments of subject merchandise entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of
publication of these final results of review. For all non-reviewed
firms, we will instruct CBP to continue to collect cash deposits of
estimated countervailing duties 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 final 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 violation
subject to sanction.

sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5).
