Scope of the Order
The merchandise covered by the order
is HWR pipes and tubes from Turkey.
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(a)(1)(A)
of the Act. For each of the subsidy
programs found countervailable, we
preliminarily determine that there is a
subsidy, i.e., a government financial
contribution that gives rise to a benefit
to the recipient, and that the subsidy is
specific.6 For a full description of the
methodology underlying our
conclusions, see the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum.
Rescission of Administrative Review, in
Part
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1),
Commerce will rescind an
administrative review, in whole or in
part, if the party that requested a review
withdraws the request within 90 days of
the publication date of the notice of
initiation of the requested review. On
October 30, 2020, Commerce published
the notice of initiation of the requested
review in the Federal Register.7 The
petitioner’s withdrawal request was
timely submitted,8 and no other
interested party requested an
administrative review of the eight
companies named above. Therefore, in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1),
we are rescinding this administrative
review of the CVD order on HWR pipes
and tubes from Turkey, in part, with
respect to the aforementioned eight
companies.
Preliminary Results of Review
Commerce preliminarily determines
that the following countervailable
subsidy rate exists for Ozdemir for the
period January 1, 2019, through
December 31, 2019:
6 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.

Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews, 85 FR

Sunset Reviews of the Antidumping Duty Orders
AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration,

(AD) orders on certain cold-rolled steel flat products (cold-rolled
steel) from Brazil, China, India, Japan, Republic of Korea (Korea), and
the United Kingdom would be likely to lead to continuation or
recurrence of dumping as indicated in the ``Final Results of Sunset
Review'' section of this notice.
