SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On June 6, 2024, Commerce published the Preliminary Results and
invited comments from interested parties.\1\ No interested party
submitted comments on the Preliminary Results. Accordingly, the final
results remain unchanged from the Preliminary Results, and thus, there
is no decision memorandum accompanying this notice. On July 22, 2024,
Commerce tolled certain deadlines in this administrative proceeding by
seven days.\2\ The deadline for these final results is now October 11,
2024. Commerce conducted this administrative review in accordance with
section 751 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).

T[uuml]rkiye: Preliminary Results and Rescission, in Part, of
Antidumping Duty Administrative Review; 2022-2023, 89 FR 48386 (June
6, 2024) (Preliminary Results), and accompanying Preliminary
Decision Memorandum (PDM).

Countervailing Duty Proceedings,'' dated July 22, 2024.

\3\ See Large Diameter Welded Pipe from the Republic of Turkey:
Amended Final Affirmative Antidumping Duty Determination and
Antidumping Duty Order, 84 FR 18799 (May 2, 2019); and Large
Diameter Welded Pipe from the Republic of Turkey: Notice of Court
Decision Not in Harmony With Amended Final Determination in the
Less-Than-Fair-Value Investigation; Notice of Amended Final
Determination Pursuant to Court Decision; and Notice of Revocation
of Antidumping Duty Order, in Part, 85 FR 35262 (June 9, 2020)
(Amended Final Determination) (collectively, Order).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The merchandise covered by the Order is welded pipe from
T[uuml]rkiye. For a complete description of the scope of the Order, see
the Preliminary Results.
Rate for Company Not Selected for Individual Examination
The Act and Commerce's regulations do not address the rate to be
applied to companies not selected for individual examination when
Commerce limits its examination in an administrative review pursuant to
section 777A(c)(2) of the Act. Generally, Commerce looks to section
735(c)(5) of the Act, which provides instructions for calculating the
all-others rate in a less-than-fair value (LTFV) investigation, for
guidance when calculating the rate for companies which were not
selected for individual examination in an administrative review. Under
section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act, the all-others rate is normally ``an
amount equal to the weighted average of the estimated weighted-average
dumping margins established for exporters and producers individually
investigated, excluding any margins that are zero, de minimis (i.e.,
less than 0.5 percent), or determined entirely on the basis of facts
available.''
Where the weighted-average dumping margins for individually
examined respondents are zero, de minimis, or determined based entirely
on facts available, section 735(c)(5)(B) of the Act provides that
Commerce may use ``any reasonable method to establish the estimated
all-others rate for exporters and producers not individually
investigated . . . .'' For these final results, we continue to
calculate a weighted-average dumping margin of zero percent for HDM
Celik Boru Sanyai Ve Ticaret A.S (HDM).\4\ Therefore, consistent with
our practice, we assigned a rate of zero percent to Emek Boru Makine
Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S. (Emek Boru), the company not selected for
individual examination in this review, in accordance with section
735(c)(5)(B) of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ We note that we also continue to assign HDM's weighted-
average dumping margin to Cimtas Boru Imalatlari ve Ticaret, Ltd.
(Cimtas) pursuant to section 772(e) of the Act. For further
discussion, see the Preliminary Results PDM at 4-5.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Final Results of Review
For these final results, we determine that the following estimated
weighted-average dumping margin exists for the period May 1, 2022,
through April 30, 2023:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ Commerce initiated this review on both HDM and HDM Spiral
Kaynakli Celik Boru A.S. (HDM Spiral). The English name of HDM
Spiral is Spirally Welded Steel Pipe Inc.

Disclosure
Normally, Commerce will disclose to the parties in a proceeding the
calculations performed in connection with the final results of review
within five days of any public announcement or, if there is no public
announcement, within five days of the date of publication of the notice
of final results in the Federal Register, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.224(b). However, because we have made no changes from the
Preliminary Results, there are no new calculations to disclose.
Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1),
[[Page 67417]]
Commerce has determined, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries of subject
merchandise in accordance with the final results of this review.
Commerce intends to issue assessment 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).
Commerce calculated a weighted-average dumping margin for HDM of
zero percent in this review. Accordingly, we intend to instruct CBP to
liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties.
For entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by HDM for
which HDM did not know its merchandise was destined for the United
States, we will instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed entries at the
all-others rate in the Amended Final Determination of the LTFV
investigation (i.e., 1.57 percent),\6\ if there is no rate for the
intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ See Amended Final Determination, 85 FR at 35263.
\7\ See Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Proceedings:
Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For both Cimtas and Emek Boru, the company that was not selected
for individual examination in this review, we have assigned them the
weighted-average dumping margin calculated for HDM (i.e., zero
percent). Accordingly, we will instruct CBP to liquidate suspended
entries during the POR for these companies without regard to
antidumping duties.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon
publication in the Federal Register of these final results of
administrative review for all shipments of the subject merchandise
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the
publication date, as provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1)
the cash deposit rate for the companies listed above will be equal to
the weighted-average dumping margin established in these final results
of this administrative review; (2) for previously investigated or
reviewed companies not covered in this review, the cash deposit rate
will continue to be the company-specific rate published for the most
recently completed segment of this proceeding in which the company
participated; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this review,
or the LTFV investigation, but the producer is, then the cash deposit
rate will be the cash deposit rate established for the most recently
completed segment for the producer of the subject merchandise; and (4)
the cash deposit rate for all other producers and exporters will
continue to be 1.57 percent, the all-others rate established in the
Amended Final Determination.\8\ These cash deposit requirements, when
imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\8\ See Amended Final Determination, 85 FR at 35263.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a final reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement of antidumping and/or countervailing duties
prior to liquidation of the relevant entries during this review period.
Failure to comply with this requirement could result in Commerce's
presumption that reimbursement of antidumping and/or countervailing
duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of double antidumping
duties, and/or an increase in the amount of antidumping duties by the
amount of countervailing duties.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice serves as the only reminder to parties subject to an
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the disposition 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 sanctionable violation.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5).
Dated: August 14, 2024.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
