Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in HDM Çelik Boru
Sanayi Ve Ticaret A.S.’s (HDM Celik’s)
case brief are addressed in the Issues
and Decision Memorandum
accompanying this notice. A list of the
issues addressed is attached as an
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.

Memorandum can be accessed directly

Methodology
Commerce conducted this review in
accordance with section 751(a)(1)(A) of
the Act. For each of the subsidy
programs found countervailable, we
find that there is a subsidy, i.e., a
government-provided financial
contribution that gives rise to a benefit
to the recipient, and that the subsidy is
specific.5 For a description of the
methodology underlying all of
Commerce’s conclusions, see the Issues
and Decision Memorandum.
Final Results of Review
We determine that, for the period
January 1, 2022, through December 31,
2022, the following total net
countervailable subsidy rates exist:

Normally, Commerce discloses to
interested parties the calculations
5 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

6 Commerce initiated this review on both HDM
Çelik and HDM Spiral Kaynakli Celik Boru A.S.
(HDM Spiral). See Initiation Notice, 88 FR at 44273.
However, in the LTFV investigation, we found that
HDM Çelik acquired HDM Spiral on October 31,
2017, and HDM Spiral ceased to exist. See Large
Diameter Welded Pipe from the Republic of Turkey:

performed in connection with the final
results of review within five days of
public announcement or, if there is no
public announcement, within five days
of the date of publication of the notice
of final results in the Federal Register,
in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).
However, because we did not make any
changes to the calculations in the
Preliminary Results, there are no
calculations to disclose.
Assessment Rate
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(2),
Commerce has determined, and U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (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.
Commerce intends to issue assessment
instructions to CBP no earlier than 35
days after the date of publication of the
final results of this review in the
Federal Register. 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).
Cash Deposit Rates
In accordance with section 751(a)(1)
of the Act, Commerce intends to instruct
CBP to collect cash deposits of
estimated countervailing duties in the
amounts shown for the companies listed
above for shipments of the 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 non-reviewed firms, we will instruct
CBP to continue to collect cash deposits
of estimated countervailing duties at the
most recent company-specific or allothers rate applicable to the company,
as appropriate. These cash deposits,
effective upon the publication of the
final results of this review, shall remain
in effect until further notice.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice also serves as a final
reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective order (APO) of
their responsibility concerning the
return or destruction of proprietary
information disclosed under APO in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3).
Timely written notification of the
return/destruction of APO materials or
conversion to judicial protective order is
hereby requested. Failure to comply

Notification to Interested Parties

published in accordance with sections
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19
CFR 351.221(b)(5).

latest data and scientific information,
and recent feedback from the EOP
Committee and AP on an earlier draft.
The EOP Committee and AP will
provide any additional feedback before

review and clearance in accordance
with the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995, on or after the date of publication
of this notice. We invite the general
public and other Federal agencies to
comment on proposed, and continuing
information collections, which helps us
assess the impact of our information
collection requirements and minimize
the public’s reporting burden. Public
comments were previously requested
via the Federal Register on August 7,
2024 during a 60-day comment period.
This notice allows for an additional 30

Title: Reporting of Sea Turtle
Incidental Takes in Virginia Chesapeake
Bay Pound Net Operations.
OMB Control Number: 0648–0470.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Regular submission
(extension of a current information
collection).
Number of Respondents: 33.
Average Hours per Response: 10
minutes.
Total Annual Burden Hours: 167
hours.
Needs and Uses: This is a request for
renewal of an approved information
collection.
Since 2002, the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA)
National Marine Fisheries Service
(NMFS) has promulgated several rules
restricting the use of large mesh and
stringer pound net leaders in certain
Virginia Chesapeake Bay waters during
the late spring/early summer each year.
On June 17, 2002, an interim final rule
was published (67 FR 41196) restricting
leader use, which also required yearround reporting of sea turtle takes. In
2004, NMFS issued a final rule further
restricting pound net leader use in
Virginia (69 FR 24997). The 2004 rule
retained the reporting requirement from
the 2002 rule. These regulations
(modifications to 50 CFR parts 222 and
223) were implemented as a result of
high sea turtle strandings each spring in
Virginia and the documented take of sea
turtles in pound net leaders. On March
31, 2018, a revised Biological Opinion
on NMFS gear regulations in the
Virginia pound net fishery was
completed pursuant to section 7 of the
Endangered Species Act of 1973, as
amended (ESA). An Incidental Take
Statement was included in this
Biological Opinion, exempting the
incidental take of a certain number of
loggerhead, Kemp’s ridley, green and
leatherback sea turtles in pound net
operations.
PO 00000
Frm 00014
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

A non-discretionary term and
condition of the Incidental Take
Statement involved the reporting to
NMFS of live or dead sea turtles taken
in pound net operations (reflected in 50
CFR 223.206). The collection of this
information on the incidental take of sea
turtles in the Virginia pound net fishery
is necessary to ensure sea turtles are
being conserved and protected, as
mandated by the ESA. Documenting the
accurate occurrence of sea turtle
incidental take in pound net operations
will help to determine if additional
regulatory actions or management
measures are necessary to protect sea
turtles caught in pound net operations.
This information will help NMFS better
assess the Virginia pound net fishery
and its impacts (or lack thereof) on sea
turtle populations in the Virginia
Chesapeake Bay. The collection of this
information is also imperative to ensure
that the Incidental Take Statement is not
being exceeded, the anticipated take
levels are appropriate, and the effects
analysis in the Biological Opinion is
accurate. Further, reporting the take of
live, injured sea turtles caught in pound
net gear will ensure these turtles are
transferred immediately to a stranding
and rehabilitation center for appropriate
medical treatment.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households.
Frequency: Reporting occurs when sea
turtles are encountered in Virginia
pound net gear, which could occur
occasionally from May through
November.
Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory.
Legal Authority: Endangered Species
Act.
