---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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.
