Republic of Turkey: Countervailing Duty Orders and Amended

(collectively, Orders).
\2\ See Initiation of Five-Year (Sunset) Reviews, 90 FR 28722
(July 1, 2025).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On July 16, 2025, Commerce received timely and complete notices of
intent to participate in this review from the domestic interested
parties,\3\ within the deadline specified in 19 CFR
351.218(d)(1)(i).\4\ U.S. Steel claims that it has interested party
status within the meaning of section 771(9)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.102(b)(29)(v) as a U.S. producer of the domestic like product;
USOMA claims that it has interested party status within the meaning of
771(9)(E) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.102(b)(17) as a trade or business
association in which all of its members produce the domestic like
product in the United States.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ The domestic interested parties are the U.S. OCTG
Manufacturers Association (USOMA) and United States Steel
Corporation (U.S. Steel).

On July 31, 2025, Commerce received an adequate substantive

deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i).\6\ Commerce did not
receive a substantive response from the Government of India, the
Government of T[uuml]rkiye, nor a respondent interested party to this
proceeding. On August 22, 2025, Commerce notified the U.S.
International Trade Commission (ITC) that it did not receive an
adequate substantive response from respondent interested parties.\7\ As
a result,

\7\ See Commerce's Letter, ``Sunset Review Initiated on July 1,

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Due to the lapse in appropriations and Federal Government shutdown,
on November 14, 2025, Commerce tolled all deadlines in administrative
proceedings by 47 days.\8\ Additionally, due to a backlog of documents
that were electronically filed via Enforcement and Compliance's
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service
System (ACCESS) during the Federal Government shutdown, on November 24,
2025, Commerce tolled all deadlines in administrative proceedings by an
additional 21 days.\9\ Accordingly, the deadline for these final
results is now January 5, 2026.
