    \4\ Commerce found the following companies to be cross-owned 
with Celik Halat: Dogan Sirketler Grubu Holding A.S.; and Adilbey 
Holding A.S.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Because Commerce received no comments on the Preliminary Results, 
we have not modified our analysis and no decision memorandum 
accompanies this Federal Register notice. We are adopting the 
Preliminary Results as the final results of this review. Consequently, 
there are no new calculations to disclose in accordance with 19 CFR 
351.224(b) for these final results.

Assessment Rates

    Consistent with section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.212(b)(2), upon completion of the administrative review, Commerce 
shall determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall 
assess, countervailing duties on all appropriate entries covered by 
this review. We intend to issue instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 
days after the date of publication of the final results of this review 
in the Federal Register. If a timely summons is filed at the U.S. Court 
of International Trade, the assessment instructions will direct CBP not 
to liquidate relevant entries until the time for parties to file a 
request for a statutory injunction has expired (i.e., within 90 days of 
publication).

Cash Deposit Requirements

    In accordance with section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act, Commerce also 
intends to instruct CBP to collect cash deposits of estimated 
countervailing duties in the amount shown for the company listed above 
with regard to shipments of subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn 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, Commerce 
will instruct CBP to continue to collect cash deposits at the all-
others rate or the most recent company-specific rate applicable to the 
company, as appropriate. These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, 
shall remain in effect until further notice.

Administrative Protective Order

    This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to an 
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.

Notification to Interested Parties

    We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5).

    Dated: January 12, 2023.

Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
