ACCESS is available to registered users at http://access.trade.gov and is available to all parties in the Central Records Unit, Room B8024 of the main Department of Commerce building. In addition, a complete version of the Issues and Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly on the Enforcement and Compliance website at http://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/. A list of the topics discussed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum is attached as an Appendix to this notice. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \4\ See Issues and Decision Memorandum. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Changes Since the Preliminary Results Based on comments received from interested parties and further review of the record, Commerce capped the duty-drawback adjustment added to U.S. price.\5\ This revision changed the weighted-average dumping margin results for Tos[ccedil]elik Profil ve Sac End[uuml]strisi A.[Scedil]. (Toscelik), the sole company subject to this review. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \5\ Id. at Comment: Duty Drawback. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Final Results of the Administrative Review For the final results of the administrative review, we determine that the following percentage weighted-average dumping margin exists for the period September 1, 2015, through August 31, 2016: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Weighted- average Producer/exporter margin (percent) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Toscelik Profil ve Sac Endustrisi A.S...................... 9.13 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Assessment Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), Commerce will determine, and CBP shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries of subject merchandise in accordance with the final results of this review. For Toscelik, we calculated importer-specific assessment rates on the basis of the ratio of the total amount of antidumping duties calculated for each importer's examined sales and the total entered value of the sales in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).\6\ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \6\ In these final 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). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- For entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by Toscelik for which it did not know that the 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(ies) involved in the transaction. We intend to issue instructions to CBP 15 days after publication of the final results of this review. Cash Deposit Requirements The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon publication of the notice of final results of the administrative review for all shipments of OCTG from Turkey 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 Toscelik will be 9.13 percent, the weighted-average dumping margin established in the final results of this administrative review; (2) for merchandise exported by producers or exporters not covered in this administrative review but covered in a prior completed segment of the proceeding, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the company- specific rate published for the most recent period; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this administrative review, a prior review, or the original investigation, but the producer has been covered in a prior complete segment of this proceeding, the cash deposit rate will be the rate established for the most recent period for the producer of the merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate for all other producers or exporters will continue to be 35.86 percent, the all-others rate established in the original less-than-fair-value investigation.\7\ These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \7\ See Certain Oil Country Tubular Goods from the Republic of Turkey: Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value and Affirmative Final Determination of Critical Circumstances, in Part, 79 FR 41971 (July 18, 2014). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 duties prior to liquidation of the relevant entries during this review period. Failure to comply with this requirement could result in the Secretary's presumption that reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of double antidumping duties. Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Orders This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility concerning the destruction of proprietary information disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3).
