Tolling and Postponement of Deadline for Preliminary Results

    As explained in the memorandum from the Acting Assistant Secretary 
for Enforcement & Compliance, the Department has exercised its 
discretion to toll all administrative deadlines due to the recent 
closure of the Federal Government. All deadlines in this segment of the 
proceeding have been extended by four business days. The revised

2016.\2\

Memorandum.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

751(a)(2) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). Export price 
(EP) is calculated in accordance with section 772 of the Act. Normal 
value (NV) is calculated in accordance with section 773 of the Act. For 
a full description of the methodology underlying our conclusions, see 
the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ See 19 CFR 351.310(c).

    The Department intends to issue the final results of this

issues raised in all written case briefs, within 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).

Assessment Rates

    Upon completion of the administrative review, the Department shall 
determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, 
antidumping duties on all appropriate entries.\8\ If Haddecilik's 
weighted-average dumping margin is not zero or de minimis in the final 
results of this

[[Page 7504]]

review, we will calculate importer-specific assessment rates on the 
basis of the ratio of the total amount of dumping calculated for an 
importer's examined sales and the total entered value of such sales in 
accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). If Haddecilik's weighted-average 
dumping margin is zero or de minimis in the final results of review, or 
an importer-specific rate is zero or de minimis, we will instruct CBP 
to liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to antidumping 
duties. For entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by 
the respondent for which it did not know its merchandise was destined 
for the United States, we will instruct CBP to liquidate un-reviewed 
entries at the all-others rate if there is no rate for the intermediate 
company involved in the transaction.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ In these preliminary results, the Department 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).
    \9\ See Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Proceedings: 
Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    We intend to issue instructions to CBP 15 days after publication of 
the final results of this review.

Cash Deposit Requirements

    The following deposit requirements will be effective upon 
publication of the notice of final results of administrative review for 
all shipments of light-walled rectangular pipe and tube from Turkey 
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the 
date of publication as provided by section 751(a)(2) of the Act: (1) 
The cash deposit rate for Haddecilik will be the weighted-average 
dumping margin established in the final results of this administrative 
review except if the 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 merchandise exported by manufacturers or exporters not covered in 
this review but covered in a prior segment of the proceeding, 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 
manufacturer or exporter participated; (3) if the exporter is not a 
firm covered in this review, a prior review, or the original less-than-
fair-value investigation but the manufacturer is, the cash deposit rate 
will be the rate established for the most recently completed segment of 
the proceeding for the manufacturer of the merchandise; (4) the cash 
deposit rate for all other manufacturers or exporters will continue to 
be 27.04 percent ad valorem, the all-others rate established in the 
less-than-fair-value investigation.\10\ These cash deposit 
requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further 
notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rectangular Pipe and Tube From Turkey, 73 FR 31065 (May 30, 2008).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Notification to Importers

    This notice also serves as a preliminary reminder to importers of 
their responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate 
regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation 
of the relevant entries during this review period. Failure to comply 
with this requirement could result in the Department's presumption that 
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent 
assessment of double antidumping duties.
    We are issuing and publishing these results in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(1).

    Dated: February 5, 2016.
