funds to other eligible institutions. The
institutions are required to annually
report to NIFA: (1) The actions taken to
seek stakeholder input to encourage
their participation; (2) a brief statement
of the process used by the recipient
institution to identify individuals and
groups who are stakeholders and to
collect input from them; and (3) a
statement of how collected input was
considered. There is no legislatively
prescribed form or format for this
reporting requirement. However, the
1862 and 1890 land- grant institutions
and Hispanic-serving agricultural
colleges and universities are required to
report on their Stakeholder Input
Process annually as part of their Annual
Report of Accomplishments and
Results.
Section 103(e) of AREERA (7 U.S.C.
7613(e)) requires that the 1862, 1890,
and 1994 land-grant institutions, as well
as Hispanic-serving agricultural colleges
and universities, establish a merit
review process to obtain agricultural
research and extension funds. Section
104 of AREERA (7 U.S.C. 361c(h))
further stipulated that for research
conducted pursuant to the Hatch Act, a
scientific peer review process be
established for research programs
funded under section 3(c)(3) of the
Hatch Act (commonly referred to as
Hatch Multistate Research Funds),
which should be used in lieu of the
merit review requirement in section
7613(e).

Scope of the Order
The merchandise covered by the order
is circular welded carbon steel pipes
and tubes from Turkey. For a complete
description of the scope of the order, see
the accompanying Issues and Decision
Memorandum.4
Rescission of Administrative Review, in
Part
As noted in the Preliminary Results,
based on timely-filed certifications and
the results of our query of Custom and
Border Protection’s (CBP) trade
database, as well as the responses
received from CBP to our no-shipment
inquiries, we indicated our intent to
rescind the administrative review with
regard to Toscelik Profil ve Sac
Endustrisi A.S., Tosyali Dis Ticaret A.S.,
and Toscelik Metal Ticaret A.S.
(collectively, the Tosc
¸elik Companies);
Cayirova Boru Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S.,
Yucel Boru ve Profil Endustrisi A.S.,
and Yucelboru Ihracat Ithalat ve
Pazarlama A.S. (collectively, the Yucel
Companies); Cinar Boru Profil Sanayi ve
Ticaret Anonim Sirketi (Cinar Boru);
Borusan Birlesik Boru Fabrikalari San
ve Tic. (Borusan Fabrikalari); Borusan
Gemlik Boru Tesisleri A.S. (Borusan
Gemlik); Borusan Ihracat Ithalat ve
Dagitim A.S. (Borusan Dagitim); Tubeco
Pipe and Steel Corporation (Tubeco);
and Borusan Lojistik Dagitim Depolama
Tasimacilik ve Ticaret A.S. (Borusan
Lojistik), in accordance with 19 CFR
351.213(d)(3).5 As the facts in this
regard are unchanged since the
Preliminary Results, we are rescinding
the administrative review of the
Toscelik Companies, the Yucel
Companies, Cinar Boru, Borusan
Fabrikalari, Borusan Gemlik, Borusan
Dagitim, Tubeco, and Borusan Lojistik
pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3). For
further information, see the Issues and
Decision Memorandum.
Additionally, subsequent to the
Preliminary Results, Commerce issued a
supplemental questionnaire 6 to the
Borusan Companies inquiring about
whether ‘‘Borusan Mannesmann’’ and
‘‘Borusan Mannesmann Pipe US, Inc.,’’
two companies for which a review was
initiated and included in the
Preliminary Results, are U.S. companies.
In the Borusan Companies’ response,7
they stated that ‘‘Borusan
Mannesmann’’ is not a legal entity, and
that the full name of the company is
Borusan Mannesmann Boru Sanayi ve
Ticaret A.S., one of the mandatory
respondents. Further, they stated that
Borusan Mannesmann Pipe US, Inc. is
a U.S.-based firm producing oil country
tubular goods and line pipe and is not
an exporter or producer of subject
merchandise. Thus, because ‘‘Borusan
Mannesmann’’ is not a legal entity, and
because Borusan Mannesmann Pipe US,
Inc. is a U.S.-based firm that is not a
producer or exporter of the subject
merchandise, we are rescinding the
review with respect to these companies
pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3).
Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in interested parties’
case briefs are addressed in the Issues
and Decision Memorandum. The issues
are identified 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. In addition, a
complete version of the Issues and
Decision Memorandum can be accessed
directly at https://access.trade.gov/
public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx.
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on the comments received, we
made no changes to the net subsidy
rates calculated for the Borusan
Companies.
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 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.8 For a complete description of
the methodology underlying all of
Commerce’s conclusions, see the Issues
and Decision Memorandum.
Final Results of the Review
In accordance with section
751(a)(1)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.221(b)(4), for the period January 1,
2019, through December 31, 2019, we
determine the net subsidy rates for the
producers/exporters under review to be
as follows:

Assessment Rates
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(2),
Commerce will determine, and CBP
shall assess, countervailing duties on all
appropriate entries of subject
merchandise in accordance with the
final results of this review, for the
above-listed companies at the applicable
ad valorem assessment rates listed. We
intend to issue assessment instructions
to CBP 35 days after the date of

the U.S. Court of International Trade,
the assessment instructions will direct
CBP not to liquidate relevant entries

For the companies for which this
review is rescinded, Commerce will
instruct CBP to assess countervailing
duties on all appropriate entries at a rate
equal to the cash deposit of estimated
countervailing duties required at the
time of entry, or withdrawal from
warehouse, for consumption, during the

Rescission of Administrative Review, in Part
As noted in the Preliminary Results, based on timely-filed
certifications and the results of our query of Custom and Border
Protection's (CBP) trade database, as well as the responses received
from CBP to our no-shipment inquiries, we indicated our intent to
rescind the administrative review with regard to Toscelik Profil ve Sac
Endustrisi A.S., Tosyali Dis Ticaret A.S., and Toscelik Metal Ticaret
A.S. (collectively, the Tos[ccedil]elik Companies); Cayirova Boru
Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S., Yucel Boru ve Profil Endustrisi A.S., and
Yucelboru Ihracat Ithalat ve Pazarlama A.S. (collectively, the Yucel

Borusan Ihracat Ithalat ve Dagitim A.S. (Borusan Dagitim); Tubeco Pipe
and Steel Corporation (Tubeco); and Borusan Lojistik Dagitim Depolama
Tasimacilik ve Ticaret A.S. (Borusan Lojistik), in accordance with 19
CFR 351.213(d)(3).\5\ As the facts in this regard are unchanged since
the Preliminary Results, we are rescinding the administrative review of
the Toscelik Companies, the Yucel Companies, Cinar Boru, Borusan
Fabrikalari, Borusan Gemlik, Borusan Dagitim, Tubeco, and Borusan
Lojistik pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3). For further information, see

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ See Preliminary Results, 86 FR at 29755, and accompanying

Additionally, subsequent to the Preliminary Results, Commerce
issued a supplemental questionnaire \6\ to the Borusan Companies
inquiring about whether ``Borusan Mannesmann'' and ``Borusan Mannesmann
Pipe US, Inc.,'' two companies for which a review was initiated and
included in the Preliminary Results, are U.S. companies. In the Borusan
Companies' response,\7\ they stated that ``Borusan Mannesmann'' is not
a legal entity, and that the full name of the company is Borusan
Mannesmann Boru Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S., one of the mandatory
respondents. Further, they stated that Borusan Mannesmann Pipe US, Inc.
is a U.S.-based firm producing oil country tubular goods and line pipe
and is not an exporter or producer of subject merchandise. Thus,
because ``Borusan Mannesmann'' is not a legal entity, and because
Borusan Mannesmann Pipe US, Inc. is a U.S.-based firm that is not a
producer or exporter of the subject merchandise, we are rescinding the
review with respect to these companies pursuant to 19 CFR
351.213(d)(3).

Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on the comments received, we made no changes to the net
subsidy rates calculated for the Borusan Companies.
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 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.\8\ For a complete description of the
methodology underlying all of Commerce's conclusions, see the Issues
and Decision Memorandum.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\8\ 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.

351.221(b)(4), for the period January 1, 2019, through December 31,

Assessment Rates
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(2), Commerce will determine, and CBP
shall assess, countervailing duties on all appropriate entries of
subject merchandise in accordance with the final results of this
review, for the above-listed companies at the applicable ad valorem
assessment rates listed. We intend to issue assessment instructions to
CBP 35 days after the date of publication of these final results of
review. If a timely summons is filed at the U.S. Court of International
Trade, the assessment instructions will direct CBP not to liquidate
relevant entries until the time for parties to file a request for a
statutory injunction has expired (i.e., within 90 days of publication).
For the companies for which this review is rescinded, Commerce will
instruct CBP to assess countervailing duties on all appropriate entries
at a rate equal to the cash deposit of estimated countervailing duties
required at the time of entry, or withdrawal from warehouse, for
consumption, during the POR in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i).
Cash Deposit Requirements
In accordance with section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act, Commerce also
intends to instruct CBP to collect cash deposits of estimated
countervailing duties in the amounts shown for each of the companies
listed above on shipments of subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn
from warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of publication of
the final results of this administrative review. For all nonreviewed
firms subject to the order, we will instruct CBP to continue to collect
cash deposits of estimated countervailing duties at the most recent
company-specific or all-others rate applicable to the company, as
appropriate. These cash deposit requirements, effective upon
publication of these final results, shall remain in effect until
further notice.
Administrative Protective Order (APO)
This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to APO of
their responsibility concerning the disposition of proprietary
information disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR
351.305(a)(3), which continues to govern business proprietary
information in this segment of the proceeding. Timely written
notification of the return or destruction of APO materials, or
conversion to judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to
comply with the regulations and the terms of an APO is a sanctionable
violation.
We are issuing and publishing these final results in accordance
with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.
Dated: November 23, 2021.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
