SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On September 11, 2018, Commerce published a notice of opportunity
to request an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on
certain oil country tubular goods (OCTG) from Turkey for the period of
review (POR) September 1, 2017, through August 31, 2018.\1\ On
September 28, 2018, the petitioners, United States Steel Corporation,
Maverick Tube Corporation, Tenaris Bay City, Inc., TMK IPSCO, Vallourec
Star, L.P., and Welded Tube USA, requested an administrative review of
the order with respect to [Ccedil]ayirova Boru San A.[Scedil].,
[Ccedil]ayirova Boru Sanayi ve Ticaret A.[Scedil]. and Y[uuml]cel Boru
[Idot]thalat-[Idot]hracat ve Pazarlama A.[Scedil]. (collectively,
Y[uuml]cel), HG Tubulars Canada Ltd., Tos[ccedil]elik Profil ve Sac
End[uuml]strisi A.[Scedil]. and Tosyali Di[scedil] Ticaret A.[Scedil].
(collectively, Tos[ccedil]elik), and Y[uuml]celboru [Idot]hracat,
Ithalat.\2\ On November 15, 2018, in accordance with section 751(a) of
the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act) and 19 CFR
351.221(c)(1)(i), we initiated an administrative review of the order on
OCTG from Turkey with respect to these companies.\3\ On December 13,
2018, the petitioners timely withdrew their request for an
administrative review concerning these companies.\4\ No other party
requested a review.

Commerce exercised its discretion to toll all deadlines affected by
the partial federal government closure from December 22, 2018, through
the resumption of operations on January 29, 2019.\5\ If the new
deadline falls on a non-business day, in accordance with Commerce's
practice, the deadline will become the next business day. The revised
deadline for the preliminary results in this review is now July 12,
2019.

\5\ See memorandum to the Record from Gary Taverman, Deputy
Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Operations, performing the non-exclusive functions and duties of the
Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance, ``Deadlines
Affected by the Partial Shutdown of the Federal Government,'' dated
January 28, 2019. All deadlines in this segment of the proceeding
have been extended by 40 days.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rescission of Review
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), Commerce will rescind an
administrative review ``in whole or in part, if a party that requested
a review withdraws the request within 90 days of the date of
publication of notice of initiation of the requested review.'' The
petitioners withdrew their request for review before the 90-day
deadline. Because we received no other requests for review of
[Ccedil]ayirova Boru San A.[Scedil]., Y[uuml]cel, HG Tubulars Canada
Ltd., Tos[ccedil]elik, and Y[uuml]celboru [Idot]hracat, Ithalat, we are
rescinding the administrative review of OCTG from Turkey covering the
period September 1, 2017, through August 31, 2018, in full, in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1).
Assessment
Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to
assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries of OCTG from
Turkey during the POR at rates equal to the cash deposit rate of
estimated antidumping duties required at the time of entry, or
withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(c)(1)(i). Commerce intends to issue appropriate assessment
instructions to CBP 15 days after publication of this notice in the
Federal Register.
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 Commerce's presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of doubled antidumping duties.
Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Order
This notice also serves as a final reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), which
[[Page 3144]]
continues to govern business proprietary information in this segment of
the proceeding. Timely written notification of the return or
destruction of APO materials or conversion to judicial protective order
is hereby requested. Failure to comply with the regulations and the
terms of an APO is a sanctionable violation.
This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).
Dated: February 5, 2019.
James Maeder,
Associate Deputy Assistant Secretary, for Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Operations performing the duties of Deputy
Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Operations.
