## Background

                    On May 15, 1986, March 7, 1986, December 1, 2015, September 10, 2014, and May 2, 2019, respectively, Commerce published in the                     **Federal Register**                     CVD orders on standard pipe, WLP, OCTG, and LDWP.[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 changed circumstances reviews (CCR) to determine that Borusan Boru is the successor-in-interest to BMB and, as a result of these determinations, to: (1) assign it the cash deposit rates currently applicable to BMB pursuant to                     *Standard Pipe CVD Order, Welded Line Pipe CVD Order,*                     and                     *OCTG CVD Order;*                     and (2) continue to exclude it from                     *LDWP CVD Order.*[2]                                          In its request, Borusan Boru stated that it undertook an official, legal name change from Borusan Mannesmann Boru Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S. (BMB) to Borusan Birleşik Boru Fabrikalari Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S. (Borusan Boru) following the termination of its partnership with Salzgitter Mannesmann GmbH (Salzgitter) in 2023, but that the company experienced no significant changes which would impact the extent of its subsidization.[3]                                          No interested parties filed comments opposing the CCR request.                

                    On February 26, 2024, Commerce published the notice initiating these CCRs to consider whether Borusan Boru is the successor-in-interest to BMB.[4]                                          On April 22, 2024, we issued a supplemental questionnaire to Borusan Boru, to which we received a timely response on May 8, 2024.[5] 

## Scope of the Orders

                    The merchandise covered by these orders is standard pipe, WLP, OCTG, and LDWP from Türkiye. For a complete description of the scope of each of these orders,                     *see*                     the appendix to this notice.[6] 
      ( print page 73362)    

## Preliminary Results

                    In these CCRs, pursuant to section 751(b) of the Act, Commerce conducted a successor-in-interest analysis. In a CVD CCR, Commerce will normally make an affirmative successorship finding where there is no evidence of significant changes in the respondent's operations, ownership, and corporate or legal structure during the relevant period (                    *i.e.,*                     the “look-back window”) that could have affected the respondent's subsidy levels.[7]                                          Where a significant change has occurred, Commerce will assess whether that change affects the nature and extent of the respondent's subsidization and, therefore, whether the respondent is the same subsidized entity as the predecessor, with reference to one or more of the following objective criteria: (1) continuity in the cross-owned or consolidated respondent company's financial assets and liabilities; (2) continuity in its production and commercial activities; and (3) continuity in the level of the government's involvement in the respondent's operations or financial structure.                

                    Where Commerce makes an affirmative CVD successorship finding, the successor's merchandise will be entitled to enter under the predecessor's cash deposit rate.[8]                                          Here, as detailed below, there is no evidence of significant changes between BMB and successor in interest in Borusan Boru's operations, ownership or corporate or legal structure during the look back period which could have impacted the successor in interest company's subsidy levels.[9]                                          That is, record evidence indicates that despite significant changes, Borusan Boru essentially operates as the same subsidized entity as its predecessor with respect to subject merchandise.                

## Continuity in Borusan Boru's Ownership

                    Borusan Boru provided documentation demonstrating that its ownership was unchanged during the “look-back window.” [10]                                          However, Borusan Boru stated that the ownership of its majority shareholder, BMB Holding A.S. (BMBH), changed following the termination of BMBH's partnership with Salzgitter in November 2023.[11]                                          According to Borusan Boru, in Salzgitter's place, Borusan Istikbal Ticaret T.A.S. (Borusan Istikbal), an existing affiliated company, became one of the owners of BMBH.[12]                                          In recent proceedings, Commerce has examined, but did not attribute to BMB, subsidies received by Borusan Istikbal.[13]                                          Additionally, Borusan Boru stated that there were no changes with respect to the Government of Türkiye's (GOT) involvement with the Borusan Group of companies, including Borusan Istikbal.[14]                                          Therefore, consistent with                     *Pasta from Türkiye,*                     we determine that the inclusion of Borusan Istikbal in the ownership of BMBH does not constitute a significant change that could affect the extent of Borusan Boru's subsidization.                

## Continuity in Borusan Boru's Operations

                    Borusan Boru provided information demonstrating that there were no significant changes in its suppliers or customer base during the “look-back window.” [15]                                          Borusan Boru stated that it purchased the assets of Berg Steel, a U.S. company, during the “look-back window,” including production facilities in Mobile, Alabama, and Panama City, Florida.[16]                                          As stated in the                     *Initiation Notice,*                     Commerce does not assign cash deposit rates or calculate subsidy rates for U.S. companies and we do not measure subsidies received by U.S. companies.[17]                                          Therefore, we find that this change does not affect the extent of Borusan Boru's subsidization by the GOT.                

## Continuity in Borusan Boru's Corporate and Legal Structure

                    Borusan Boru provided evidence demonstrating that that there were no significant changes to its legal structure during the “look-back window.” [18]                                          Therefore, we determine that there were no significant changes that could have affected Borusan Boru's subsidization levels.                

Thus, record evidence preliminarily indicates that Borusan Boru is the successor-in-interest to BMB. In accordance with 19 CFR 351.216, we preliminarily determine that Borusan Boru is the successor-in-interest to BMB, based on the analysis of the information Borusan Boru provided in its CCR request and supplemental questionnaire response.

                    Accordingly, we preliminarily determine the Borusan Boru is entitled to the same CVD cash deposit rates as its predecessor for merchandise subject to the                     *Standard Pipe CVD Order, Welded Line Pipe CVD Order,*                     and                     *OCTG CVD Order.*                     We also preliminarily determine that Borusan Boru is entitled to its predecessor's exclusion from the                     *LDWP CVD Order.*[19]                                          Consequently, if this determination is unchanged in the final results, Commerce intends to instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to collect estimated CVDs and suspend liquidation of all shipments of merchandise subject to the                     *Standard Pipe CVD Order, Welded Line Pipe CVD Order,*                     and                     *OCTG CVD Order*                     produced and/or exported by Borusan Boru and entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date of the final results in the                     **Federal Register**                     at the rate assigned to BMB.[20]                                          Further, Commerce will                           ( print page 73363)                        instruct CBP that Borusan Boru is entitled to its predecessor's exclusion from the                     *LDWP CVD Order*                     for entries of subject merchandise produced and exported by Borusan Boru. Lastly, the cash deposit requirements shall remain in effect until further notice.
