The Corporation is governed by a

Background
Commerce published the Preliminary
Results of this administrative review in
the Federal Register on January 10,
2018.1 We invited interested parties to
comment on the Preliminary Results. On
January 23, 2018, Commerce exercised
its discretion to toll all deadlines
affected by the closure of the Federal
Government from January 20 through
22, 2018.2 On February 12, 2018, we
received timely case briefs from the
Government of Turkey and from
Borusan. On May 2, 2018, Commerce
postponed the final results of review
until July 12, 2018.3
Scope of the Order

full description of the scope of the order
is contained in the Issues and Decision
Memorandum, which is hereby adopted
by this notice.4
Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in interested parties’
briefs are addressed in the Issues and
Decision Memorandum accompanying
this notice. A list of the issues raised by
interested parties and to which we
responded in the Issues and Decision
Memorandum is provided in the
Appendix to this notice. The Issues and
Decision Memorandum is a public
document and is on file electronically
via Enforcement and Compliance’s
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Centralized Electronic Service System
(ACCESS). ACCESS is available to
registered users at https://
access.trade.gov and in the Central
Records Unit, room B8024 of the main
Department of Commerce building. In
addition, a complete version of the
Issues and Decision Memorandum can
be accessed directly at https://
enforcement.trade.gov/frn/. The signed
and electronic versions of the Issues and
Decision Memorandum are identical in
content.
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
We made no changes to our subsidy
rate calculation.
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 find
that there is a subsidy, i.e., a financial
contribution from a government or
public entity that gives rise to a benefit
to the recipient, and that the subsidy is
specific.5 For a full description of the
methodology underlying all of
Commerce’s conclusions, see the Issues
and Decision Memorandum.
Final Results of Administrative Review
In accordance with section 777A(e) of
the Act and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5), we
determine the total net countervailable
subsidy rate for the period January 1,
2015, to December 31, 2015, to be:
