administrative review within 120 days after the date of publication of 
this notice, pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR

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.\9\ If CINAR'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 will calculate an 
importer-specific assessment rate on the basis of the ratio of the 
total amount of dumping calculated for the importer's examined sales 
and the total entered value of such sales in accordance with 19 CFR 
351.212(b)(1). If the weighted-average dumping margin for CINAR is zero 
or de minimis in the final results of review, we will instruct CBP to 
liquidate CINAR's entries without regard to antidumping duties in 
accordance with the Final Modification for Reviews, i.e., 
``{w{time} here the weighted-average margin of dumping for the exporter 
is determined to be zero or de minimis, no antidumping duties will be 
assessed.'' \10\ Where an importer-specific assessment rate is zero or 
de minimis, we will instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries 
without regard to antidumping duties in accordance with 19 CFR 
351.106(c)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ 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) (Final Modification for 
Reviews).
    \10\ Id., 77 FR at 8102.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the 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 CINAR will be equal to 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

[[Page 22477]]

will continue to be 27.04 percent ad valorem, the all-others rate 
established in the less-than-fair-value investigation.\11\ These cash 
deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until 
further notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ See the Order at 73 FR 31065.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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.

Notification to Interested Parties

    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: April 1, 2015.

Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
