SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On May 15, 1986, March 7, 1986, December 1, 2015, September 10, 
2014, and May 2, 2019, respectively, Commerce published in the Federal 
Register antidumping duty orders on standard pipe, WLP, OCTG, and LDWP 
from T[uuml]rkiye.\1\ On January 9, 2024, Borusan Boru requested that, 
pursuant to section 751(b)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 
(the Act), 19 CFR 351.216, and 19 CFR 351.221(c)(3), Commerce conduct 
expedited changed circumstances reviews (CCR) to determine that Borusan 
Boru is the successor-in-interest to BMB and accordingly to: (1) assign 
it the cash deposit rates currently applicable to BMB pursuant to THE 
Standard Pipe AD Order and Welded Line Pipe AD Order; and (2) continue 
to exclude it from OCTG AD Order and LDWP AD Order.\2\ On February 26, 
2024, Commerce published the notice initiating these CCRs to consider 
whether Borusan Boru is the successor-in-interest to BMB.\3\

    On April 9, 2024, we issued a supplemental questionnaire to Borusan 
Boru, to which we received a timely response on April 30, 2024.\4\ In 
its response, Borusan Boru stated that there were no material changes 
to either the supplier or customer base of BMB as a result of BMB's 
conversion to Borusan Boru.\5\ We received no comments from other 
interested parties concerning Borusan Boru's request.

Scope of the Orders

    The merchandise covered by these orders is standard pipe, WLP, 
OCTG, and LDWP from T[uuml]rkiye. For a complete description of the 
scope of each of these orders, see the appendix to this notice.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ See Standard Pipe AD Order, 51 FR 17784; Welded Line Pipe AD 
Order, 80 FR 75056; OCTG AD Order, 79 FR 53691, and LDWP AD Order, 
84 FR 18799.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Preliminary Results

    In these CCRs, pursuant to section 751(b) of the Act, Commerce 
conducted a successor-in-interest analysis. In making a successor-in-
interest determination, Commerce examines several factors, including, 
but not limited to, changes in the following: (1)

[[Page 73375]]

management; (2) production facilities; (3) supplier relationships; and 
(4) customer base.\7\ While no single factor or combination of factors 
will necessarily provide a dispositive indication of a successor-in-
interest relationship, generally, Commerce will consider the new 
company to be the successor to the previous company if the new 
company's resulting operation is not materially dissimilar to that of 
its predecessor.\8\ Thus, if the record evidence demonstrates that, 
with respect to the production and sale of the subject merchandise, the 
new company operates as the same business entity as the predecessor 
company, Commerce may assign the new company the cash deposit rate of 
its predecessor.\9\

20572 (April 27, 1998), in which Commerce found that a company which 
only changed its name and did not change its operations is a 
successor-in-interest to the company before it changed its name.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In accordance with 19 CFR 351.216, we preliminarily determine that 
Borusan Boru is the successor-in-interest to BMB, based on the analysis 
of the information BMB provided in its CCR request and supplemental 
response regarding the factors listed above.

Management

    Borusan Boru stated that, in November 2023, following the 
termination of its partnership with Salzgitter Mannesmann GmbH 
(Salzgitter): (1) Borusan Mannesmann Boru Yatirim Holding A.S. (BMBYH) 
changed its name to BMB Holding A.S. (BMBH); and (2) BMBH also changed 
the name of BMB to Borusan Boru. According to Borusan Boru, BMBH 
continued to control the same percentage of Borusan Boru as it did 
before the name change and there were no other changes to the 
shareholders of Borusan Boru. Borusan Boru demonstrated that its 
management did not change as a result of the name change and the only 
change to its board of directors was to replace the Salzgitter-
appointed directors.\10\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ See Borusan Boru's CCR Request at 5 and Attachment 6.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Production Facilities

    Borusan Boru stated there were no changes in the company's 
production facilities as a result of the name change. According to 
Borusan Boru, it maintains the same headquarters, manufacturing 
facilities, and its production capacity is unchanged as a result of the 
name change.\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ Id. at 5-6.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Supplier Relationships

    Borusan Boru stated that the major input in its production is hot-
rolled coil (HRC), and it provided a list of its 2023 HRC suppliers as 
compared to its suppliers through March 31, 2024, demonstrating that 
Borusan Boru's suppliers are substantially similar to BMB's.\12\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ See Borusan Boru's SQR at Exhibit 12.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Customer Base

    Borusan Boru stated that there were no changes to its customer base 
after the name change. Borusan Boru provided a list of its 2023 
customers as compared to its customers through March 31, 2024, 
demonstrating that Borusan Boru's customers are substantially similar 
to BMB's.\13\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Thus, record evidence, as submitted by Borusan Boru, indicates that 
Borusan Boru operates as essentially the same business entity as BMB 
with respect to the subject merchandise.\14\ Because Borusan Boru 
demonstrated that there were no material changes in the ownership and 
management structure, production facilities, and supplier and customer 
base as a result of BMB changing its name to Borusan Boru, we 
preliminarily find that Borusan Boru is the successor-in-interest to 
BMB.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \14\ Id.; see also Borusan Boru's CCR Request.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    We preliminarily determine that Borusan Boru is entitled to the 
same AD cash deposit rates as its predecessor for merchandise subject 
to the Standard Pipe AD Order and Welded Line Pipe AD Order. We also 
preliminarily determine that Borusan Boru is entitled to its 
predecessor's exclusion from the OCTG AD Order and LDWP AD Order.\15\ 
Consequently, if this determination is unchanged in the final results, 
Commerce intends to instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 
to collect estimated antidumping duties and suspend liquidation of all 
shipments of merchandise subject to the standard pipe and WLP 
antidumping duty orders produced and/or exported by Borusan Boru and 
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the 
publication date of the final results in the Federal Register at the 
rate assigned to BMB.\16\ Further, Commerce will instruct CBP that 
Borusan Boru is entitled to its predecessor's exclusions from the OCTG 
AD Order and LDWP AD Order for entries of subject merchandise produced 
and exported by Borusan Boru. Lastly, the cash deposit requirements 
shall remain in effect until further notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
