Duty New Shipper Review; 2013-2014

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: In response to a request from respondent Be[scedil]san Makarna 
Gida San. Ve Tic. A.S. (Be[scedil]san), the Department of Commerce (the 
Department) is conducting a new shipper review of the antidumping duty 
order on certain pasta (pasta) from Turkey. The period of review (POR) 
is July 1, 2013, through January 31, 2014. We preliminarily find that 
Be[scedil]san did not sell subject merchandise at prices below normal 
value (NV) during the POR. If these preliminary results are adopted in 
our final results of this review, we will instruct U.S. Customs and 
Border Protection (CBP) to liquidate entries of merchandise produced by 
Be[scedil]san without regard to antidumping duties. We invite 
interested parties to comment on these preliminary results.

DATES: Effective Date: January 7, 2015.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Tyler Weinhold or Robert James, AD/CVD 
Operations, Office VII, Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade

Assessment Rates

    Upon completion of this new shipper review, the Department shall 
determine and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess 
antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. If Be[scedil]san's 
weighted-average dumping margin is not zero or de minimis in the final 
results of this review, we will calculate importer-specific assessment 
rates on the basis of the ratio of the total amount of antidumping 
duties 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 
Be[scedil]san'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 dumping margins.
    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 new shipper review for 
all shipments of pasta from Turkey entered, or withdrawn from 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 Be[scedil]san will be the rate established in the final results of 
this new shipper 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 recent period 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 recent period for the 
manufacturer of the merchandise; (4) the cash deposit rate for all 
other manufacturers or exporters will continue to be 51.49 percent, the

[[Page 865]]

all-others rate established in the less-than-fair-value 
investigation.\8\ These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall 
remain in effect until further notice.

Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value: Certain Pasta From 
Turkey, 61 FR 38545 (July 24, 1996).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 351.214.

    Dated: December 24, 2014.
