Oil Country Tubular Goods From the Republic of Turkey: Preliminary Results of Countervailing Duty Administrative Review and Rescission of Countervailing Duty Administrative Review, in Part

概要

The Department of Commerce (the Department) is conducting an administrative review of the countervailing duty (CVD) order on Oil Country Tubular Goods (OCTG) from the Republic of Turkey (Turkey). The period of review (POR) is January 1, 2015, through December 31, 2015. The Department initiated this administrative review with respect to the following producers/exporters of subject merchandise: Borusan Mannesmann Boru Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S. and Borusan Istikbal Ticaret (collectively, Borusan); and Tos[ccedil]elik Profil ve Sac Endustrisi A.[Scedil]. and Tosyali Di[scedil] Ticaret A. [Scedil]. (collectively, Toscelik). We preliminarily find that Borusan received countervailable subsidies at de minimis levels during the POR. Additionally, as a result of the final and conclusive decision by the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit related to the underlying CVD investigation of OCTG from Turkey, which resulted in Toscelik being excluded from the CVD order, we are rescinding the administrative review with respect to Toscelik. Interested parties are invited to comment on these preliminary results.
