Background
On March 7, 1986, the Department
published in the Federal Register the
CVD order on steel pipes and tubes from
Turkey.1 On April 8, 2015, the
Department published in the Federal
Register the Preliminary Results for this
review.2 In the Preliminary Results, we
invited interested parties to submit case
and rebuttal briefs commenting on the
preliminary results and to request a
hearing.3 On May 8, 2015, we received
case briefs from the Borusan Companies,
the Government of Turkey (GOT), and
the Toscelik Companies. We received no
rebuttal briefs.
On April 8, 2015 the Borusan
Companies requested a hearing. On June
1, 2015, the Borusan Companies
withdrew their request for a hearing.
On June 16, 2015, the Department
extended the deadline for the final
results of this administrative review
until October 5, 2015.4
Scope of 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
classifiable under the Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (HTSUS)
subheadings as 7306.30.10, 7306.30.50,
and 7306.90.10. Although the HTSUS

Methodology
The Department conducted this
review in accordance with section
751(a)(1)(A) of the Act. For each of the
subsidy programs found countervailable
during the POR, we determine that there
is a subsidy, i.e., a government-provided
financial contribution that confers 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 complete description of the
methodology, see the Issues and
Decision Memorandum.5
Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in the case briefs of
the Borusan Companies, the GOT, and
the Toscelik Companies are addressed
in the Issues and Decision
Memorandum. A list of the issues raised
and to which we responded in the
Issues and Decision Memorandum, is
attached to this notice as an Appendix.
The Issues and Decision Memorandum
is a public document and is on file
electronically via Enforcement and
Compliance’s Antidumping and

Rescission of the 2013 Administrative
Review, in Part
The Department did not receive any
information from interested parties or
U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) that was contrary to the claims of
the Erbosan Companies and the Yucel
Companies of no sales, shipments, or
entries of subject merchandise to the
United States during the POR after we
indicated our intent to rescind the
administrative review. Accordingly,
based on record evidence, we determine
that the Erbosan Companies and the
Yucel Companies did not ship subject

the POR. Therefore, in accordance with
19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), and consistent
with our practice,6 we are rescinding
the review for the Erbosan Companies
and the Yucel Companies.
Final Results of Review
In accordance with 19 CFR
351.221(b)(4)(i), we calculated an
individual subsidy rate for the
mandatory respondent, the Borusan
Companies. Because the Borusan
Companies are the sole mandatory
respondent, we assigned to those
companies not selected for individual
review, the rate calculated for the
Borusan Companies. As a result of this
review, we determine the listed net

through December 31, 2013:
