unlikely to pose a plant pest risk and,
therefore, should not be regulated under
APHIS’ regulations in 7 CFR part 340.
According to our process 2 for
soliciting public comment when
considering petitions for determination
of nonregulated status of organisms
developed using genetic engineering,
APHIS accepts written comments
regarding a petition once APHIS deems
the petition complete. On May 28, 2020,
APHIS announced in the Federal
Register 3 (85 FR 32004–32005, Docket
No. APHIS–2020–0023) the availability
of the BASF petition for public
comment. APHIS solicited comments on
the petition for 60 days ending July 27,
2020.
APHIS received nine comments
during the comment period. They were
from the agricultural and private
sectors. Five comments generally
supported BASF’s petition, while four
expressed objections to crops developed
or modified through genetic
engineering.
After public comments are received
on a completed petition, APHIS
evaluates those comments and then
provides a second opportunity for
public involvement in our decisionmaking process. According to our public
review process (see footnote 2), the
second opportunity for public
involvement follows one of two
approaches, as described below.
If APHIS decides, based on its review
of the petition and its evaluation and
analysis of comments received during
the 60-day public comment period on
the petition, that the petition involves
an organism that raises no substantive
new issues, APHIS will follow
Approach 1 for public involvement.
Under Approach 1, APHIS prepares and
announces in the Federal Register the
availability of APHIS’ preliminary
regulatory determination along with its
draft EA, preliminary finding of no
significant impact (FONSI), and its draft
plant pest risk assessment (PPRA) for a
30-day public review period. APHIS
will evaluate any information received
related to the petition and its supporting
documents during the 30-day public
review period. If APHIS determines that
no substantive information has been
2 On March 6, 2012, APHIS published in the
Federal Register (77 FR 13258–13260, Docket No.
APHIS–2011–0129) a notice describing our public
review process for soliciting public comments and
information when considering petitions for
determinations of nonregulated status for organisms
developed using genetic engineering. To view the
notice, go to www.regulations.gov and enter APHIS–
2011–0129 in the Search field.

and the comments that we received, go to

received that would warrant APHIS
altering its preliminary regulatory
determination or FONSI, or
substantially change the analysis of
impacts in the EA, our preliminary
regulatory determination will become
final and effective upon notification of
the public through an announcement on
our website. No further Federal Register
notice will be published announcing the
final regulatory determination.
Under Approach 2, if APHIS decides,
based on its review of the petition and
its evaluation and analysis of comments
received during the 60-day public
comment period on the petition, that the
petition involves an organism that raises
substantive new issues, APHIS first
solicits written comments from the
public on a draft EA and draft PPRA for
a 30-day comment period through the
publication of a Federal Register notice.
Then, after reviewing and evaluating the
comments on the draft EA and draft
PPRA and other information, APHIS
will revise the draft PPRA as necessary.
It will then prepare a final EA, and
based on the final EA, a National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA)
decision document (either a FONSI or a
notice of intent to prepare an
environmental impact statement).
For this petition, we will be following
Approach 2.
As part of our decision-making
process regarding an organism’s
regulatory status, APHIS prepared a
PPRA to assess the plant pest risk of the
organism, and an EA to evaluate
potential impacts on the human
environment. This will provide the
Agency and the public with a review
and analysis of any potential
environmental impacts that may result
if the petition request is approved.
APHIS’ draft PPRA compared the pest
risk posed by soybean event GMB151
with that of the unmodified variety from
which it was derived. The draft PPRA
concluded that soybean event GMB151
is unlikely to pose an increased plant
pest risk compared to the unmodified
soybean.
The draft EA evaluated potential
impacts that may result from the
commercial production of GMB151
soybean, to include potential impacts on
conventional and organic soybean
production; the acreage and area
required for U.S. soybean production;
agronomic practices and inputs; the
physical environment; biological
resources; human health and worker
safety; animal health and welfare; and
socioeconomic impacts. No significant
impacts were identified with the
production and marketing of GMB151
soybean.

The draft EA was prepared in
accordance with (1) NEPA, as amended
(42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), (2) regulations
of the Council on Environmental
Quality for implementing the
procedural provisions of NEPA (40 CFR
parts 1500–1508), (3) USDA regulations
implementing NEPA (7 CFR part 1b),
and (4) APHIS’ NEPA Implementing
Procedures (7 CFR part 372).
We are making available for a 30-day
review period our draft EA and draft
PPRA. These documents are available as
indicated under ADDRESSES and FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT above.
Copies of these documents may also be
obtained from the person listed under

After the 30-day review period closes,
APHIS will review and evaluate any
information received during the 30-day
review period.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
Background
Commerce is conducting an
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on circular
welded carbon steel standard pipe and
tube products (welded pipe and tube)
from Turkey. The period of review
(POR) is May 1, 2019, through April 30,
2020. Commerce published the notice of
initiation of this administrative review
on July 10, 2020.1 The preliminary
results are listed below in the section
titled ‘‘Preliminary Results of Review.’’
This review covers 20 companies. The
sole mandatory respondent in this
administrative review is Borusan
Mannesmann Boru Sanayi ve Ticaret
A.S. (Borusan Mannesmann) and
Borusan Istikbal Ticaret T.A.S. (Istikbal)
(collectively, Borusan).2 On March 25,
2021, we extended the deadline for the
preliminary results by 120 days to July
30, 2021.3 For a complete description of
the events that followed the initiation of
this administrative review, see the
Preliminary Decision Memorandum.4 A
list of the topics discussed in the
Preliminary Decision Memorandum is
attached as Appendix I to this notice.
The Preliminary Decision Memorandum
is a public document and is on file
electronically via Enforcement and

Decision Memorandum can be accessed

Scope of the Order
The merchandise covered by the order
is circular welded carbon steel standard
pipe and tube products. For a complete
description of the scope of the order, see
the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
Methodology
Commerce is conducting this review
in accordance with section 751 of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).
Export price is calculated in accordance
with section 772 of the Act. Normal
value is calculated in accordance with
section 773 of the Act.
Preliminary Determination of No
Shipments
Between June 3, and August 14, 2021,
14 companies timely submitted letters
to Commerce certifying that they had no
sales, shipments, or entries of the
subject merchandise to the United
States during the POR.5
With respect to Istikbal, one of the
companies that certified no shipment
during the POR, we continue to find
Istikbal to be part of the single entity,
Borusan, and we find no record
evidence that warrants altering this
treatment. Therefore, because we find
that Borusan had shipments during this
POR, we have not made a preliminary
determination of no shipments with
respect to Istikbal.
With respect to the remaining 13
companies that certified no shipment,
U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) did not have any information to
contradict these claims of no shipment
