Appendix 

Scope of the Investigations 

The merchandise subject to these 

investigations is certain paper plates. Paper 

plates subject to these investigations may be 

cut from rolls, sheets, or other pieces of paper 

and/or paper board. Paper plates subject to 

these investigations have a depth up to and 

including two (2.0) inches, as measured 

vertically from the base to the top of the lip, 

or the edge if the plate has no lip. Paper 

plates subject to these investigations may be 

uncolored, white, colored, or printed. Printed 

paper plates subject to these investigations 

may have any type of surface finish, and may 

be printed by any means with images, text 

and/or colors on one or both surfaces. 

Colored paper plates subject to this 

investigation may be colored by any method, 

including but not limited to printing, beaterdyeing, and dip-dyeing. Paper plates subject 

to these investigations may be produced from 

paper of any type (including, but not limited 

to, bamboo, straws, bagasse, hemp, kenaf, 

jute, sisal, abaca, cotton inters and reeds, or 

from non-plant sources, such as synthetic 

resin (petroleum)-based resins), may have 

any caliper or basis weight, may have any 

shape or size, may have one or more than one 

section, may be embossed, may have foil or 

other substances adhered to their surface, 

and/or may be uncoated or coated with any 

type of coating. 

The paper plates subject to these 

investigations remain covered by the scope of 

these investigations whether imported alone, 

or in any combination of subject and nonsubject merchandise. When paper plates 

subject to these investigations are imported 

in combination with non-subject 

merchandise, only the paper plates subject to 

these investigations are subject merchandise. 

The paper plates subject to these 

investigations include paper plates matching 

the above description that have been 

finished, packaged, or otherwise processed in 

a third country by performing finishing, 

packaging, or processing that would not 

otherwise remove the merchandise from the 

scope of the investigations if performed in 

the country of manufacture of the paper 

plates. Examples of finishing, packaging, or 

other processing in a third country that 

would not otherwise remove the 

merchandise from the scope of the 

investigations if performed in the country of 

manufacture of the paper plates include, but 

are not limited to, printing, application of 

other surface treatments such as coatings, 

repackaging, embossing, and application of 

foil surface treatments. 

Excluded from the scope of these 

investigations are paper plates molded or 

pressed directly from paper pulp (including 

but not limited to unfelted pulp), which are 

currently classifiable under subheading 

4823.70.0020 of the Harmonized Tariff 

Schedule of the United States (HTSUS). 

Also excluded from the scope of these 

investigations are articles that otherwise 

would be covered but which exhibit the 

following two physical characteristics: (a) 

depth (measured vertically from the base to 

the top of the lip, or edge if no lip) equal to 

or greater than 1.25 inches but less than two 

(2.0) inches, and (b) a base not exceeding five 

(5.0) inches in diameter if round, or not 

exceeding 20 square inches in area if any 

other shape. 

Also excluded from the scope of these 

investigations are paper bowls, paper 

buckets, and paper food containers with 

closeable lids. 

Paper plates subject to these investigations 

are currently classifiable under HTSUS 

subheading 4823.69.0040. Paper plates 

subject to these investigations also may be 

classified under HTSUS subheading 

4823.61.0040. If packaged with other articles, 

the paper plates subject to these 

investigations also may be classified under 

HTSUS subheadings 9505.90.4000 and 

9505.90.6000. While the HTSUS 

subheading(s) are provided for convenience 

and customs purposes, the written 

description of the subject merchandise is 

dispositive.

Register AD and CVD orders on 

standard pipe, WLP, OCTG, and LDWP 

from Turkey.1 On January 9, 2024, 

Borusan Boru requested that, pursuant 

to section 751(b)(1) of the Tariff Act of 

1930, as amended (the Act), 19 CFR 

351.216, and 19 CFR 351.221(c)(3), 

Commerce conduct expedited CCRs to 

determine that Borusan Boru is the 

successor-in-interest to BMB and 

accordingly to: (1) assign it the cash 

deposit rates currently applicable to 

BMB pursuant to Standard Pipe AD 

Order; Standard Pipe CVD Order; 

Welded Line Pipe AD Order; Welded 

Line Pipe CVD Order; and OCTG CVD 

Order; and (2) exclude it from OCTG AD 

Order; LDWP AD Order; and LDWP CVD 

Order.2 In its submission, Borusan Boru 

stated that in 2023 it changed its name 

from BMB pursuant to the termination 

of its partnership with Salzgitter 

Mannesmann GmbH.3

Scope of the Orders 

The merchandise covered by these 

orders is standard pipe, WLP, OCTG, 

and LDWP from Turkey. For a complete 

description of the scope of each of these 

orders, see Standard Pipe AD Order; 

Standard Pipe CVD Order; Welded Line 

Pipe AD Order; Welded Line Pipe CVD 

Order; OCTG AD Order; OCTG CVD 

Order; LDWP AD Order; and LDWP CVD 

Order.4

Initiation of CCRs 

Pursuant to section 751(b)(1)(A) of the 

Act and 19 CFR 351.216(d), Commerce 

conducts a CCR upon receipt of 

information concerning, or a request 

from, an interested party for a review of 

an AD or CVD order which shows 

changed circumstances sufficient to 

warrant a review of the order. The 

information submitted by Borusan Boru 

regarding its claim that it is the 

successor-in-interest to BMB 

demonstrates changed circumstances 

sufficient to warrant the initiation of 

such reviews.5 Therefore, in accordance 

with section 751(b)(1)(A) of the Act and 

19 CFR 351.216(d) and (e), we are 

initiating these CCRs. 

In making a successor-in-interest 

determination, Commerce examines 

several factors, including, but not 

limited to, changes in the following: (1) 

management; (2) production facilities; 

(3) supplier relationships; and (4) 

customer base.6 While no single factor 

or combination of factors will 

necessarily provide a dispositive 

indication of a successor-in-interest 

relationship, generally, Commerce will 

consider the new company to be the 

successor to the previous company if 

the new company’s resulting operation 

is not materially dissimilar to that of its 

predecessor.7 Thus, if the record 

evidence demonstrates that, with 

respect to the production and sale of the 

subject merchandise, the new company 

operates as the same business entity as 

the predecessor company, Commerce 

may assign the new company the cash 

deposit rate of its predecessor.8

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.221(c)(3)(ii), 

Commerce may combine the notices of 

initiation and preliminary results of a 

CCR into a single notice if it concludes 

that expedited action is warranted. We 

have determined that it is appropriate to 

further consider, and potentially seek 

additional information regarding, 

certain factors noted above that 

Commerce examines in a successor-ininterest determination. Therefore, we 

find that expedited action is not 

warranted. Commerce intends to make 

its preliminary determinations and to 

publish in the Federal Register a notice 

of the preliminary results of these CCRs, 

in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.221(b)(4) and (c)(3)(i), which will 

set forth Commerce’s preliminary 

factual and legal conclusions. Pursuant 

to 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4)(ii), interested 

parties will have an opportunity to 

comment on the preliminary results. 

Unless extended, Commerce intends 

to issue the final results of this CCR 

within 270 days after the date of 

initiation, in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.216(e). 

Notification to Interested Parties 

We are issuing this notice in 

accordance with sections 751(b)(1) and 

777(i) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.216(b) 

and 351.221(b)(1).
