For imports of OCTG from Turkey, CBP shall suspend liquidation of entries of subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after 09/05/2014 (date of publication of the International Trade Commission (ITC) final determination in the Federal Register). Effective 09/05/2014 (date of publication of the ITC final determination in the Federal Register), CBP shall require a cash deposit equal to the percentages identified below. These cash deposit rates have been adjusted to reflect the appropriate subsidy offsets determined in the companion countervailing duty proceeding. Producer and/or Exporter: All-Others Case Number: A-489-816-000 Cash Deposit Rate: 35.68 percent Producer and/or Exporter: Çayirova Boru Sanayi ve Ticaret A.Ş. and Yücel Boru Ithalat-Ihracat ve Pazarlama A.Ş. (collectively Yücel) Case Number: A-489-816-002 Cash Deposit Rate: 35.68 percent 4. Commerce found that no final margin exists with respect to the exporter-producer combination listed below. As a result of its preliminary determination of sales at not less-than-fair-value (LTFV) with respect to this exporter-producer combination listed below (see 79 FR 10484, dated 02/25/2014), Commerce directed CBP not to suspend liquidation of such entries at that time. See message 4058308, dated 02/27/2014, as corrected by message 4078301, dated 03/19/2014. Accordingly, based on the final determination of sales at not LTFV (see 79 FR 41971, dated 07/18/2014 and message 4205304, dated 07/24/2014) no suspension of liquidation or cash deposits are required for the exporter-producer combination identified below: Exporter: Borusan Mannesmann Boru Sanayi ve Ticaret and Borusan Istikbal Ticaret (collectively Borusan) Producer: Borusan Mannesmann Boru Sanayi ve Ticaret and Borusan Istikbal Ticaret (collectively Borusan) 5. The ITC determined that critical circumstances do not exist with respect to subject imports from Turkey (see 79 FR 53080, dated 09/05/2014). As a result of the ITC's negative determination of critical circumstances, Commerce will direct CBP in separate instructions to refund all cash deposits collected on entries of OCTG from Turkey which were entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after 11/27/2013 and before 02/25/2014. The interest provisions of section 778 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, do not apply. 6.
