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.

Review, 83 FR 45888 (September 11, 2018).
    \2\ See the petitioners' Letter, ``Re: Oil Country Tubular Goods 
from Turkey: Request for Administrative Review of Antidumping Duty 
Order,'' dated September 28, 2018.

Administrative Reviews, 83 FR 57411 (November 15, 2018) (Initiation 
Notice).

from Turkey: Withdrawal of Request for Administrative Review of 
Antidumping Duty Order,'' dated December 13, 2018.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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.
