1. This message pertains to the critical circumstances determination. On 07/18/2014, Commerce published in the Federal Register (79 FR 41964) its final affirmative countervailing duty determination and affirmative finding of critical circumstances in the countervailing duty investigation of certain oil country tubular goods from the Republic of Turkey (Turkey) (C-489-817). Commerce determined that critical circumstances existed for imports of certain oil country tubular goods from Turkey. Accordingly, in message number 4203304, dated 07/22/2014, Commerce instructed CBP to suspend liquidation of such shipments that were entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after 04/19/2014, which is 90 days before the date on which suspension of liquidation was first ordered for such entries. In addition, for such merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption during this period, Commerce instructed CBP to require a cash deposit.

2. On 09/05/2014, the International Trade Commission (ITC) determined that critical circumstances do not exist with respect to subject imports from Turkey (79 FR 53080). Accordingly, CBP should terminate the suspension of liquidation of certain oil country tubular goods entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after 4/19/2014, and before 07/18/2014, and liquidate the entries without regard to countervailing duties (i.e., refund all cash deposits).

3. Notice of lifting of suspension of liquidation of entries entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption before 07/18/2014 (the date of publication of Commerce's final determination notice in the Federal Register) occurred with the publication of the ITC's final determination of its investigation (79 FR 53080, 09/05/2014). For all other shipments of certain oil country tubular goods from Turkey, continue to collect cash deposits of estimated countervailing duties for the merchandise at the current rates unless instructed otherwise.

4. The interest provisions of section 778 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, do not apply.
