the responses, issuance of appropriate
requests for clarification and/or
additional information, and
consideration of the surrogate value
information for properly valuing the
critical factors of production of subject
merchandise.
For the reasons stated above and
because there are no compelling reasons
to deny the request, the Department, in
accordance with section 733(c)(1)(A) of
the Act and 19 CFR 351.205(e), is
postponing the deadline for the
preliminary determination to no later

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce
(the Department) is conducting an
administrative review of the
countervailing duty (CVD) order on
circular welded carbon steel pipes and
tubes from Turkey (pipes and tubes
from Turkey) for the period of review
(POR) of January 1, 2011, through
December 31, 2011. The review covers
the following three producers/exporters
of subject merchandise: Borusan Group,
Borusan Mannesmann Boru Sanayi ve
Ticaret A.S. (BMB), and Borusan Istikbal
Ticaret T.A.S. (Istikbal), (collectively,
Borusan); Erbosan Erciyas Boru Sanayi
ve Ticaret A.S. (Erbosan) and Erbosan
Erciyas Pipe Industry and Trade Co.
Kayseri Free Zone Branch (Erbosan
FZB), (collectively Erbosan); and
Tosyali dis Ticaret A.S. (Tosyali) and
Toscelik Profil ve Sac Endustrisi A.S.
(Toscelik Profil), (collectively, Toscelik).
We preliminarily determine that
Borusan, Erbosan, and Toscelik received
countervailable subsidies during the
POR but that the companies’ respective
total net subsidy rates are less than 0.5
percent ad valorem and, therefore, are
de minimis.
DATES: Effective Date: April 9, 2013.

any wall thickness (pipe and tube) from
Turkey. These products are currently
provided for under the Harmonized
Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTSUS) as item numbers 7306.30.10,
7306.30.50, and 7306.90.10. Although

Methodology
The Department has 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
countervailable, we preliminarily
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. 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.
For a full description of the
methodology underlying our
conclusions, please see Decision
Memorandum for Preliminary Results of
Countervailing Duty (CVD)
Administrative Review: Circular
Welded Carbon Steel Pipes and Tubes
from Turkey (Preliminary Decision
Memorandum) from Edward C. Yang,
Senior Director China/Non-Market
Economy Unit, to Paul Piquado,
Assistant Secretary for Import
Administration, dated concurrently
with these results and hereby adopted
by this notice.
In making these findings, we have
relied, in part, on an adverse inference
in selecting from among the facts
otherwise available because one of our
respondents, Erbosan, did not act to the
best of its ability to respond to the
Department’s requests for information as
it pertains to the ‘‘Deduction from
Taxable Income for Export Revenue’’
program. See section 776(a) and (b) of
the Act.

Program Description: NIST invites
applications from eligible applicants for
funding one (1) MEP center to provide
manufacturing extension services to
primarily small- and medium-sized
manufacturers in the state of Nebraska.
The MEP center will become part of the
MEP national system of extension
service providers, currently comprised
of more than 400 centers and field
offices located throughout the United
States and Puerto Rico.
The objective of an MEP center is to
provide manufacturing extension
services that enhance productivity,
innovative capacity, and technological
performance, and strengthen the global
competitiveness of primarily small- and
medium-sized U.S.-based
manufacturing firms in its service
region. Manufacturing extension
services are provided by utilizing the
most cost effective, local, leveraged
resources for those services through the
coordinated efforts of a regionally-based
MEP center and local technology
resources. The management and
operational structure of an MEP center
is not prescribed, but should be based
upon the characteristics of the
manufacturers in the region and locally
available resources with demonstrated
experience working with manufacturers.
It is not the intent of this program that
the centers perform research and
development.
Information regarding MEP and these
centers is available at www.nist.gov/
mep.
Funding Availability: NIST
anticipates funding one (1) application
at the level of up to $600,000 for an
MEP Center in the state of Nebraska.
The project awarded under this notice
and the corresponding FFO will have a
budget and performance period of one
(1) year. The award may be renewed on
an annual basis subject to the review
requirements described in 15 CFR 290.8.
Cost Share Requirements: This
Program requires a non-Federal cost
share of at least 50 percent of the total
project cost for the first year of
operation. Any renewal funding of an
award will require non-Federal cost
sharing as follows:

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (the Department) is conducting an
administrative review of the countervailing duty (CVD) order on
circular welded carbon steel pipes and tubes from Turkey (pipes and
tubes from Turkey) for the period of review (POR) of January 1, 2011,
through December 31, 2011. The review covers the following three

Erbosan); and Tosyali dis Ticaret A.S. (Tosyali) and Toscelik Profil ve
Sac Endustrisi A.S. (Toscelik Profil), (collectively, Toscelik). We
preliminarily determine that Borusan, Erbosan, and Toscelik received
countervailable subsidies during the POR but that the companies'
respective total net subsidy rates are less than 0.5 percent ad valorem
and, therefore, are de minimis.
DATES: Effective Date: April 9, 2013.

Scope of the Order
The products covered by this order are certain welded carbon steel
pipe and tube with an outside diameter of 0.375 inch or more, but not
over 16 inches, of any wall thickness (pipe and tube) from Turkey.
These products are currently provided for under the Harmonized Tariff

merchandise is dispositive.
Methodology
The Department has 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 countervailable, we preliminarily
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. 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. For a full description of the methodology underlying our
conclusions, please see Decision Memorandum for Preliminary Results of
