---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rescission of Review
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Department will rescind an
administrative review, in whole or in part, if the party that requested
the review withdraws its request within 90 days of the publication of
the notice of initiation of the requested review. In this review,
Borusan timely withdrew its request by the 90-day deadline, and no
other party requested an administrative review of the countervailing
duty order. As a result, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), we are
rescinding the administrative review of the countervailing duty order
on steel pipes and tubes from Turkey covering the period January 1,
2016, through December 31, 2016, in its entirety.
Assessment
The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) to assess countervailing duties on all appropriate entries.
Because the Department is rescinding this administrative review in its
entirety, the entries to which this administrative review pertained
shall be assessed countervailing duties at rates equal to the cash
deposit of estimated countervailing duties required at the time of
entry, or withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption, in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i). The Department intends to issue
appropriate assessment instructions to CBP 15 days after the
publication of this notice in the Federal Register.
Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Orders
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), 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
terms of an APO is a violation which is subject to sanction.
This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).
Dated: May 19, 2017.
