SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On September 1, 2020, Commerce published a notice of opportunity to 
request an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on OCTG 
from Turkey for the POR September 1, 2019, through August 31, 2020.\1\ 
On September 30, 2020, the petitioners \2\ timely requested an 
administrative review of the antidumping duty order with respect to 
seven exporters/producers.\3\ Commerce received no other requests for 
an administrative review of the antidumping duty order. On October 30, 
2020, pursuant to section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 
(the Act), and 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i), we published in the Federal 
Register a notice of initiation of an administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on OCTG from Turkey with respect to the seven 
companies listed in the petitioners' request for review.\4\ On November 
25, 2020, the petitioners timely withdrew their administrative review 
request for all of the following seven companies for which a review was 
requested: APL Apollo Tubes Ltd., BAUER Casings Makina San. ve Tic. 
Ltd, Binayak Hi Tech Engineering Ltd., Goktas Yassi Hadde Mamulleri 
San. ve Tic. A.S., ISMT Limited, Noksel Celik Boru Sanayi. A.S., and

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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. The petitioners timely 
withdrew their request for review within 90 days of the publication 
date of the Initiation Notice. No other parties requested an 
administrative review of the antidumping duty order. Therefore, in 
accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), we are rescinding the 
administrative review of the antidumping order on OCTG from Turkey for 
the period September 1, 2019, through August 31, 2020, in its entirety.

Assessment

    Commerce will instruct 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

[[Page 81181]]

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.

Notification to Interested Parties

    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 10, 2020.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
