Preliminary Results of Review
We preliminarily determine that the following weighted-average
dumping margin exists for the period May 1, 2023, through April 30,
2024:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Estimated weighted-
Exporter or producer average dumping
margin (percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Borusan Mannesmann Boru Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S., 9.31
Birlesik Boru Fabrikalari Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S.,
Borusan Istikbal Ticaret T.A.S \8\................
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Disclosure
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\8\ In prior segments of this proceeding, we treated Borusan
Birlesik Boru Fabrikalari ve Ticaret A.S. and Borusan Istikbal
Ticaret T.A.S. as a single entity. See, e.g., Welded Carbon Steel
Standard Pipe and Tube Products from Turkey: Final Results of
Antidumping Duty Administrative Review and Final Determination of No
Shipments; 2013-2014, 80 FR 76674 (December 10, 2015). We determine
that there is no evidence on the record of this review for altering
our treatment of Borusan Birlesik Boru Fabrikalari Sanayi ve Ticaret
A.S. and Borusan Istikbal Ticaret T.A.S. as a single entity.
Further, Commerce conducted a changed circumstances review and
determined that Borusan Birlesik Boru Fabrikalari Sanayi ve Ticaret
A.S. is the successor-in-interest to Borusan Mannesmann Boru Sanayi
ve Ticaret A.S. in the context of the AD order on CWP from
T[uuml]rkiye. See Circular Welded Carbon Steel Standard Pipe and
Tube Products from the Republic of T[uuml]rkiye; Welded Line Pipe

Commerce intends to disclose its calculations and analysis
performed to interested parties under administrative protective order
for these preliminary results within five days of any public
announcement or, if there is no public announcement, within five days
of the date of publication of this notice in accordance with 19 CFR
351.224(b).
Public Comment
Case briefs or other written comments may be submitted to the
Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance. Pursuant to 19 CFR
351.309(c)(1)(ii), we have modified the
[[Page 44014]]
deadline for interested parties to submit case briefs to Commerce to no
later than 21 days after the date of the publication of this notice.\9\
Rebuttal briefs, limited to issues raised in the case briefs, may be
filed not later than five days after the date for filing case
briefs.\10\ Parties who submit case briefs or rebuttal briefs in this
proceeding are encouraged to submit with each argument: (1) a statement
of the issue; and (2) a table of authorities.\11\ All briefs must be
filed electronically using ACCESS. An electronically filed document
must be received successfully in its entirety in ACCESS by 5:00 p.m.
Eastern Time on the established deadline.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\9\ See 19 CFR 351.309.
\10\ See 19 CFR 351.309(d); see also Administrative Protective
Order, Service, and Other Procedures in Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Proceedings, 88 FR 67069, 67077 (September 29,
2023) (APO and Service Final Rule).
\11\ See 19 CFR 351.309(c)(2) and (d)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
As provided under 19 CFR 351.309(c)(2) and (d)(2), in prior
proceedings we have encouraged interested parties to provide an
executive summary of their brief that should be limited to five pages
total, including footnotes. In this review, we instead request that
interested parties provide at the beginning of their briefs a public
executive summary for each issue raised in their briefs.\12\ Further,
we request that interested parties limit their public executive summary
of each issue to no more than 450 words, not including citations. We
intend to use the public executive summaries as the basis of the
comment summaries included in the issues and decision memorandum that
will accompany the final determination in this review. We request that
interested parties include footnotes for relevant citations in the
public executive summary of each issue. Note that Commerce has amended
certain of its requirements pertaining to the service of documents in
19 CFR 351.303(f).\13\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\12\ We use the term ``issue'' here to describe an argument that
Commerce would normally address in a comment of the Issues and
Decision Memorandum.
\13\ See APO and Service Final Rule.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), interested parties who wish to
request a hearing must submit a written request to the Assistant
Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance, filed electronically via
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service
System (ACCESS). Requests should contain: (1) the party's name,
address, and telephone number; (2) the number of participants; and (3)
a list of the issues to be discussed. Issues raised in the hearing will
be limited to those raised in the respective case briefs. An
electronically filed hearing request must be received successfully in
its entirety by Commerce's electronic records system, ACCESS, within 30
days after the date of publication of this notice.
Assessment of Antidumping Duties
Upon completion of the final results, Commerce shall determine, and
the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping
duties on all appropriate entries covered by this review.\14\ If a
respondent's weighted-average dumping margin is not zero or de minimis
(i.e., less than 0.5 percent) in the final results of this review, we
intend to calculate an importer-specific assessment rate based on the
ratio of the total amount of dumping calculated for each importer's
examined sales and the total entered value of those same sales in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).\15\ If the respondent's weighted-
average dumping margin or an importer-specific assessment rate is zero
or de minimis in the final results of this review, we intend to
instruct CBP not to assess antidumping duties on any of that importer's
entries in accordance with the Final Modification for Reviews.\16\ The
final results of this administrative review shall be the basis for the
assessment of antidumping duties on entries of merchandise covered by
the final results of this review and for future deposits of estimated
duties, where applicable.\17\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\14\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
\15\ In these preliminary results, Commerce applied the
assessment rate calculation method adopted in Antidumping
Proceedings: Calculation of the Weighted-Average Dumping Margin and
Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping Duty Proceedings; Final
Modification, 77 FR 8101 (February 14, 2012) (Final Modification for
Reviews).
\16\ See Final Modification for Reviews, 77 FR at 8103; see also
19 CFR 351.106(c)(2).
\17\ See section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by
Borusan for which it did not know that its merchandise was destined for
the United States, we will instruct CBP to liquidate such suspended
entries pursuant to the reseller policy,\18\ i.e., the assessment rate
for such entries will be equal to the all-others rate established in
the investigation (i.e., 14.74 percent ad valorem),\19\ if there is no
rate for the intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\18\ See Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Proceedings:
Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).
\19\ See Order, 51 FR at 17784.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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).
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements for estimated antidumping
duties will be effective upon publication in the Federal Register of
the notice of final results of this review for all shipments of CWP
from T[uuml]rkiye entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption
on or after the date of publication as provided by section 751(a)(2)(C)
of the Act: (1) the cash deposit rate for subject merchandise exported
by Borusan will be equal to this company's weighted-average dumping
margin established in the final results of this review, (except if the
ad valorem rate is de minimis within the meaning of 19 CFR
351.106(C)(1), in which case the cash deposit rate will be zero); (2)
for subject merchandise exported by previously investigated companies
not participating in this review, the cash deposit 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 a previous
segment of this proceeding, but the producer is, then the cash deposit
rate will be the company-specific rate established for the most
recently completed segment for the producer of the merchandise; and (4)
the cash deposit rate for all other producers and exporters will
continue to be 14.74 percent, the all-others rate established in the
underlying investigation.\20\ These cash deposit requirements, when
imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice.

Final Results of Review
Unless otherwise extended, Commerce intends to issue the final
results of this administrative review, including the results of its
analysis of issues raised in any written briefs, no later than 120 days
after the date of publication of this notice, pursuant to section
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(1).
Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as a preliminary reminder to importers of
their responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f) to file a certificate
regarding
[[Page 44015]]
the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation of the
relevant entries during this POR. Failure to comply with this
requirement could result in Commerce's presumption that reimbursement
of antidumping 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.
Notification to Interested Parties
These preliminary results and notice are issued and published in
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, 19 CFR
351.213(d)(4), 19 CFR 351.213(h), and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4).
