Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on our analysis of the comments received, we revised the
effective date of these CCRs. For further discussion, see the Issues
and Decision Memorandum.
Final Results of Changed Circumstances Reviews
For the reasons stated in the Preliminary Results, we continue to
find that Borusan Boru is the successor-in-interest to BMB. As a
result, we determine that Borusan Boru is entitled to receive the cash
deposit rate previously assigned to Borusan Mannesmann for merchandise
subject to the Standard Pipe CVD Order, Welded Line Pipe CVD Order, and
OCTG CVD Order. Consequently, will Commerce instruct U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (CBP) to collect cash deposits and suspend
liquidation of all shipments of merchandise subject to the Standard
Pipe CVD Order, Welded Line Pipe CVD Order, and OCTG CVD Order produced
and/or exported by Borusan Boru and entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after November 13, 2023, at the rate
assigned to BMB.\6\ Further, Commerce will instruct CBP that Borusan
Boru is entitled to its predecessor's exclusion from the LDWP CVD Order
for entries of subject merchandise produced and exported by Borusan
Boru. Lastly, these cash deposit requirements shall remain in effect
until further notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ The current rate for BMB under the Standard Pipe CVD Order
is 0.83 percent. See Circular Welded Carbon Steel Pipes and Tubes
from the Republic of Turkey: Final Results and Rescission, in Part,
of Countervailing Duty Administrative Review; Calendar Year 2019, 86

the Welded Line Pipe CVD Order 0.78 percent. See Welded Line Pipe

minimis). See Oil Country Tubular Goods from the Republic of Turkey:
