The Department of Commerce (the Department) is conducting an administrative review of the countervailing duty (CVD) order on circular welded carbon steel pipes and tubesfrom Turkey for the period of review (POR) of January 1, 2013, through December 31, 2013. The review covers one producer/exporter of subject merchandise that the Department selected for individual examination: the Borusan Group, Borusan Holding, A.S. (Borusan Holding), Borusan Mannesmann Boru Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S. (Borusan), Borusan Istikbal Ticaret T.A.S. (Istikbal), and Borusan Lojistik Dagitim Pepolama Tasimacilik ve Tic A.S. (Borusan Lojistik) (collectively, the Borusan Companies). Additionally, this review covers three firms that were not individually examined: Toscelik Profil ve Sac Endustrisi A.S. (Toscelik Profil), Toscelik Metal Ticaret AS., and Tosyali Dis Ticaret AS. (Tosyali) (collectively, the Toscelik Companies),\1\ Umran Celik Born Sanayii A.S. (also known as Umran Steel Pipe Inc.) (Umran), and Guven Steel Pipe (also known as Guven Celik Born San. Ve Tic. Ltd.) (Guven). We preliminarily determine that the Borusan Companies received countervailable subsidies during the POR. For purposes of these preliminary results, we assigned the Toscelik Companies, Umran and Guven, the non-selected respondents, the same net subsidy rate calculated for the Borusan Companies. Additionally, we preliminarily determine to rescind the administrative reviews on Erbosan Erciyas Boru Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S. (Erbosan AS) and Erbosan Erciyas Pipe Industry and Trade Co. Kayseri Free Zone Branch (Erbosan FZB), (collectively Erbosan) and the Yucel Group and all affiliates including Yucel Boru ye Profil Endustrisi A.S, Yucelboru Ihracat Ithalat ye Pazarlama A.S, and Cayirova Born Sanayi ye Ticaret A.S.)

Department selected for individual examination: the Borusan Group, 
Borusan Holding, A.S. (Borusan Holding), Borusan Mannesmann Boru Sanayi

Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and 
Constitution Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20230; telephone: 202-482-1009 
and 202-482-8362, respectively.

Intent To Rescind the 2013 Administrative Review, in Part

    Erbosan and the Yucel Companies submitted letters to the Department 
on May 5, 2014, June 27, 2014, respectively, timely certifying that 
they had no sales, shipments, or entries, directly or indirectly, of 
subject merchandise to the United States during the POR.\3\ Petitioners 
did not comment on Erbosan's and Yucel's claims of no sales, shipments, 
or entries. On May 19 and July 14, 2014, we transmitted ``No-Shipment 
Inquiries'' to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) regarding these 
companies. We did not receive any information from CBP contrary to 
Erbosan's and Yucel's claims of no sales, shipments, or entries of 
subject merchandise to the United States during the POR. Accordingly, 
based on the record evidence, we preliminarily determine that Erbosan 
and Yucel, did not ship subject merchandise to the United States during 
the POR. Therefore, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), and 
consistent with our practice,\4\ we preliminarily determine to rescind 
the review for Erbosan and Yucel.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See the Erbosan Companies' May 5, 2014, submission; see also 
the Yucel Companies June 27, 2014, submission.

China: Notice of Partial Rescission of Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Review, 79 FR 2635 (January 15, 2014).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Scope of the Order

    The products covered by this order are certain welded carbon steel 
pipe and tube with an outside diameter of 0.375 inch or more, but not 
over 16 inches, of any wall thickness (pipe and tube) from Turkey. 
These products are currently provided for under the Harmonized Tariff 
Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) as item numbers 7306.30.10,

[[Page 18810]]

7306.30.50, and 7306.90.10. Although the HTSUS subheadings are provided 
for convenience and customs purposes, the written description of the 
merchandise is dispositive.

Methodology

    The Department 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, 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.\5\ For a full description of the methodology 
underlying our conclusions, see the accompanying Decision Memorandum 
for Preliminary Results of Countervailing Duty (CVD) Administrative 
Review: Circular Welded Carbon Steel Pipes and Tubes Products from 
Turkey (Preliminary Decision Memorandum) from Gary Taverman, Associate 
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations, to Paul Piquado, Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and 
Compliance, dated concurrently with these results and hereby adopted by 
this notice. The Preliminary 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).\6\ ACCESS is available to registered users at http://access.trade.gov and in the Central Records Unit (CRU), Room 7046 of 
the main Department of Commerce building. In addition, a complete 
version of the Preliminary Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly 
on the Internet at http://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/. The signed 
Preliminary Decision Memorandum and the electronic versions of the 
Preliminary Decision Memorandum are identical in content.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \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 the Act regarding specificity.
    \6\ On November 24, 2014, Enforcement and Compliance changed the 
name of the Enforcement and Compliance's AD and CVD Centralized 
Electronic Service System (IA ACCESS) to AD and CVD Centralized 
Electronic Service System (ACCESS). The Web site location was 
changed from http://iaaccess.trade.gov to http://access.trade.gov. 
The final rule changing the references in the Department's 
regulations can be found at 79 FR 69046 (November 20, 2014).
