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

[[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

Tos[ccedil]elik, Y[inodot]lmaz Pipo, and Yucel Boru Ithalat-Ihracat ve 
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).

Goods from Turkey: Withdrawal of Request for Administrative Review 
of Antidumping Duty Order,'' date November 26, 2019.

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 
Operations.
