SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On August 10, 2016, the Department published the Preliminary 
Results of the administrative review.\1\ The Department gave interested 
parties an opportunity to comment on the Preliminary Results. We 
received no comments. The Department has conducted this review in 
accordance with section 751 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 
Act).

    \1\ See Pasta from Turkey: Preliminary Results of Countervailing 
Duty Administrative Review; 2014, 81 FR 52825 (August 10, 2016) 
(Preliminary Results) and accompanying Preliminary Decision 
Memorandum, unchanged in these final results.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Scope of the Order

    The scope of the order consists of certain non-egg dry pasta in 
packages of five pounds (or 2.27 kilograms) or less,

[[Page 90776]]

whether or not enriched or fortified or containing milk or other 
optional ingredients such as chopped vegetables, vegetable purees, 
milk, gluten, diastases, vitamins, coloring and flavorings, and up to 
two percent egg white. The pasta covered by the order is typically sold 
in the retail market, in fiberboard or cardboard cartons or 
polyethylene or polyethylene bags, of varying dimensions.
    Excluded from the scope of the order are refrigerated, frozen, or 
canned pastas, as well as all forms of egg pasta, with the exception of 
non-egg dry pasta containing up to two percent egg white.
    The merchandise under review is currently classifiable under 
subheading 1902.19.20 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United 
States (HTSUS). Although the HTSUS subheading is provided for 
convenience and customs purposes, our written description of the scope 
of the order is dispositive.

Final Results of Review

    Because the Department received no comments with respect to the 
Preliminary Results, we made no changes to the Preliminary Results. As 
a result of this review, we determine that countervailable subsidies 
were provided to the respondent for the period January 1, 2014, through 
December 31, 2014, at the following rate:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                           Subsidy rate

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bessan Makarna Gida San. Ve Tic. A.[Scedil]. Co.........            2.21
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Assessment Rates

    In accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(2), the Department intends to 
issue assessment instructions to U.S. Customs and Boarder Protection 
(CBP) 15 days after the date of publication of these final results to 
liquidate shipments of subject merchandise produced by Bessan entered, 
or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after January 1, 
2014 through December 31, 2014 at the percent rate, as listed above.

Cash Deposit Instructions

    The Department also intends to instruct CBP to collect cash 
deposits of estimated CVDs in the amount shown above for shipments of 
subject merchandise by Bessan entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for 
consumption on or after the date of publication of the final results of 
this review. For all non-reviewed firms, we will instruct CBP to 
collect cash deposits of estimated countervailing duties at the most 
recent company-specific or all-others rate applicable to the company. 
These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect 
until further notice.

Administrative Protective Orders

    This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the destruction of proprietary information disclosed under 
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). 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 sanctionable 
violation.
    We are issuing and publishing these results in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.
