SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On September 3, 2019, Commerce published a notice of opportunity to
request an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on OCTG
from Turkey for the period of review September 1, 2018, through August
31, 2019.\1\ On September 30, 2019, the petitioners \2\ timely
requested an administrative review of the order with respect to certain
companies.\3\ On
[[Page 68884]]
October 11, 2019, Borusan Mannesmann Boru Sanayi ve Ticaret and Borusan
Istikbal Ticaret submitted a request asking Commerce to reject the
petitioners' request for an administrative review with respect to
Borusan, maintaining that Borusan was specifically excluded from the
antidumping order on OCTG and, thus, should not be part of the
administrative review.\4\ Subsequently, on October 30, 2019, the
petitioners timely withdrew their request of an administrative review
with regard to entries by Borusan Mannesmann Boru Sanayi ve Ticaret,
Borusan Istikbal Ticaret, Borusan Mannesmann Boru Yatirim Holding, and
Borusan Lojistik Dag. Deg. Tas Ve (collectively, Borusan).\5\ On
November 12, 2019, in accordance with section 751(a) of the Tariff Act
of 1930, as amended (the Act) and 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i), Commerce
initiated an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on
OCTG from Turkey with respect to 12 companies.\6\

Rescission of Administrative 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.'' On
November 26, 2019, the petitioners timely withdrew their request for
review of all remaining companies.\7\ Because we received no other
requests for review of Bak[inodot]r Grup Makine [Idot]malat
Bak[inodot]m Montaj Demontaj Sanayi ve Ticaret Ltd. [Scedil]ti.,
Cayirova Boru Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S., Hydra [Idot]n[scedil]aat Sanayi

Pazarlama A.S., we are rescinding the administrative review of OCTG
from Turkey covering the period September 1, 2018, through August 31,
2019, in its entirety, 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 period September 1, 2018, through August 31, 2019, 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 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). 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: December 11, 2019.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
