[Federal Register Volume 83, Number 236 (Monday, December 10, 2018)] [Notices] [Pages 63472-63474] From the Federal Register Online [www.thefederalregister.org] [FR Doc No: 2018-26654] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE International Trade Administration [C-489-819] Steel Concrete Reinforcing Bar From the Republic of Turkey: Preliminary Results of Countervailing Duty Administrative Review and Intent To Rescind the Review in Part; 2016 AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, Department of Commerce. SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (Commerce) preliminary determines that producers/exporters of steel concrete reinforcing bar (rebar) from the Republic of Turkey (Turkey) received countervailable subsidies during the period of review (POR) January 1 through December 31, 2016. Interested parties are invited to comment on these preliminary results. DATES: Applicable December 10, 2018. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Caitlin Monks, AD/CVD Operations, Office VII, Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-2670. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background On January 11, 2018, Commerce published a notice of initiation of an administrative review of the CVD order on rebar from Turkey.\1\ On July 10, 2018, Commerce extended the deadline for the preliminary results to December 3, 2018.\2\ Commerce preliminarily determines that the mandatory respondents: Colakoglu Dis Ticaret A.S. (COTAS) and Colakoglu Metalurji A.S. (Colakoglu Metalurji) (collectively, Colakoglu), Icdas Celik Enerji Tersane ve Ulasim Sanayi A.S. (Icdas), and Kaptan Demir Celik Endustrisi ve Ticaret A.S. (Kaptan Demir) and Kaptan Metal Dis Ticaret Ve Nakliyat A.S. (Kaptan Metal) (collectively, Kaptan) each received countervailable subsidies during the POR. For a complete description of the events that followed the initiation of this review, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.\3\ A list of topics discussed in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum is included at the Appendix to 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). ACCESS is available to registered users [[Page 63473]] at http://access.trade.gov and is available to all parties in the Central Records Unit, Room B8024 of the main Department of Commerce building. In addition, a complete version of the Preliminary Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly at http://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/. The signed and electronic versions of the Preliminary Decision Memorandum are identical in content. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \1\ See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews, 83 FR 1329, 1334 (January 11, 2018); See also Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews, 83 FR 8058, 8067 n.6 (February 23, 2018). \2\ See Memorandum, ``Steel Concrete Reinforcing Bar from the Republic of Turkey: Extension of Deadline for Preliminary Results in 2016 Countervailing Duty Administrative Review,'' dated July 10, 2018. \3\ See Memorandum, ``Decision Memorandum for the Preliminary Results of Countervailing Duty Administrative Review of and the Preliminary Intent to Rescind, in Part: Steel Concrete Reinforcing Bar from the Republic of Turkey; 2016,'' dated concurrently with, and hereby adopted by, this notice (Preliminary Decision Memorandum). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Scope of the Order The merchandise covered by the order is steel concrete reinforcing bar (rebar) imported in either straight length or coil form regardless of metallurgy, length, diameter, or grade. For a complete description of the scope, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. Methodology Commerce is conducting this administrative review in accordance with section 751(a)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). For each subsidy program found countervailable, we preliminarily 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.\4\ For a full description of the methodology underlying our conclusions, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \4\ 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. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Intent To Rescind Administrative Review, in Part DufEnergy Trading SA (DufEnergy), Duferco Celik Ticaret Limited (Duferco), and Ekinciler Demir ve Celik Sanayi A.S. (Ekinciler) timely filed no-shipments certifications.\5\ Because there is no evidence on the record to indicate that DufEnergy, Duferco, or Ekinciler had entries, exports, or sales of subject merchandise to the United States during the POR, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), we intend to rescind the review with respect to these companies. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \5\ See DufEnergy's letter, ``Steel Concrete Reinforcing Bar from Turkey; No Shipments Letter for DufEnergyTrading SA (formerly known as Duferco Investment Services SA),'' dated January 29, 2018; Duferco's letter, ``Steel Concrete Reinforcing Bar from Turkey; No Shipments Letter for Duferco Celik Ticaret Limited,'' dated January 29, 2018; and Ekinciler's letter, ``Hot-Rolled Steel Products from Turkey (C-489-819): Countervailing Duty Administrative Review (01/ 01/16-12/31/16),'' dated January 24, 2018. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Entries of merchandise produced and exported by Habas Sinai ve Tibbi Gazlar Istihsal Endustrisi A.S. (Habas) are not subject to countervailing duties under this Order because the Commerce's final determination with respect to this producer/exporter combination was negative.\6\ However, any entries of merchandise produced by any other entity and exported by Habas or produced by Habas and exported by another entity are subject to this Order. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \6\ See Steel Concrete Reinforcing Bar from the Republic of Turkey: Final Affirmative Countervailing Duty Determination and Final Affirmative Critical Circumstances Determination, 79 FR 54963, 54964 (September 15, 2014). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Because there is no evidence on the record of entries of merchandise produced by another entity and exported by Habas, or entries of merchandise produced by Habas and exported by another entity, we preliminarily determine that Habas is not subject to this administrative review. Therefore, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), we intend to rescind the review with respect to Habas. A final decision on whether to rescind the review of DufEnergy, Duferco, Ekinciler, and Habas will be made in the final results of this administrative review. Companies Not Selected for Individual Review For these preliminary results, Icdas is the sole mandatory respondent with a calculated rate above de minimis. Therefore, we are assigning Icdas' net countervailable subsidy rate of 1.37 percent ad valorem to the 11 remaining non-selected companies, for which an individual rate was not calculated. This is consistent with our practice,\7\ and in accordance with section 705(c)(5)(A) of the Act. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \7\ See, e.g., Certain Pasta from Italy: Final Results of the 2008 Countervailable Review, 75 FR 37386, 37387 (June 29, 2010). \8\ Commerce preliminarily finds the following companies to be cross-owned with Icdas: Mardas Marmara Deniz Isletmeciligi A.S., Oraysan Insaat Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S., Artmak Denizcilik Ticaret ve Sanayi A.S., and Icdas Elektrik Enerjisi Uretim ve Yatirim A.S. \9\ Commerce preliminarily finds the following companies to be cross-owned with Kaptan: Martas Marmara Ereglisi Liman Tesisleri A.S., Aset Madencilik A.S., and Kaptan Is Makinalari Hurda Alim Satim Ltd. Sti. \10\ Commerce preliminarily finds the following companies to be cross-owned with Colakoglu: Demirsan Haddecilik San. Ve Tic. A.S. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Preliminary Results of the Review We preliminarily find that the net countervailable subsidy rates for the period January 1, 2016, through December 31, 2016, are as follows: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Company Subsidy Rate Ad Valorem (percent) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Icdas Celik Enerji Tersane ve Ulasim 1.37 Sanayi A.S. and its cross-owned affiliates \8\.

We intend to issue instructions to CBP 15 days after publication of the final results of this review.

For all non-reviewed firms, we will instruct CBP to collect cash deposits at the most recent company- specific or all-others rate applicable to the company, as appropriate.
