subsidies were provided to producers 

and exporters of certain oil country 

tubular goods (OCTG) from the Republic 

of Tu ̈rkiye (Tu ̈rkiye) during the period 

of review (POR) from January 1, 2022, 

through December 31, 2022. In addition, 

Commerce is rescinding this review, in 

part, with respect to 10 companies. 

Interested parties are invited to 

comment on these preliminary results. 

DATES: Applicable October 9, 2024.

telephone:(202) 482–1395. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On July 18, 2014, Commerce 

published in the Federal Register the 

countervailing duty (CVD) order on 

OCTG from Tu ̈rkiye.1 On November 15, 

2023, Commerce published in the 

Federal Register the notice of initiation 

of an administrative review of the 

Order.2 On December 18, 2024, 

Commerce selected Borusan 

Mannesmann Boru Sanayi ve Ticaret 

A.S. (Borusan) and Cayirova Boru 

Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S. (Cayirova) for 

individual examination as the 

mandatory respondents in this 

administrative review.3 On May 21, 

2024, we extended the deadline for the 

preliminary results of this 

administrative review until September 

27, 2024.4 On July 22, 2024, Commerce 

tolled certain deadlines in this 

administrative proceeding by seven 

days.5 The deadline for the preliminary 

results is now October 4, 2024. 

For a complete description of the 

events that followed the initiation of 

this review, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum.6 A list of topics 

discussed in the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum is included in the 

Appendix I to this notice. The 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum is a 

public document and is on file 

electronically via Enforcement and 

Compliance’s Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Centralized 

Electronic Service System (ACCESS). 

ACCESS is available to registered users 

at http://access.trade.gov. In addition, a 

complete version of the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum can be accessed 

directly at https://access.trade.gov/ 

public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx. 

Scope of the Order 

The merchandise covered by the 

Order is OCTG. For a complete 

description of the scope of the Order, 

see the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum. 

Methodology 

Commerce is conducting this 

administrative review in accordance 

with section 751(a)(1)(A) of the Tariff 

Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). For 

each of the subsidy programs found 

countervailable, we preliminarily find 

that there is a subsidy (i.e., a 

government-provided financial 

contribution that gives rise to a benefit 

to the recipient, and that the subsidy is 

specific).7 For a full description of the 

methodology underlying our 

conclusions, see the Preliminary 

Determination Memorandum. 

Partial Rescission of Administrative 

Review 

Commerce may rescind an 

administrative review of a CVD order 

when no reviewable entries of subject 

merchandise exist during the POR for 

which liquidation is suspended, 

pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3).8

Normally, upon completion of an 

administrative review, suspended 

entries are liquidated at the CVD 

assessment rate calculated for the 

review period.9 Therefore, for an 

administrative review to be conducted, 

there must be a reviewable, suspended 

entry that Commerce can instruct CBP 

to liquidate at the CVD assessment rate 

calculated for the POR.10

Based on our analysis of U.S. Customs 

and Border Protection (CBP) data, we 

determine that 10 companies had no 

entries of subject merchandise during 

the POR. On September 24, 2024, we 

notified interested parties of our intent 

to rescind the administrative review 

with respect to 10 companies because 

there are no reviewable entries.11 No 

parties commented on the notification 

of intent to rescind, in part. Pursuant to 

19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), we are rescinding 

the administrative review of these 

companies. For a list of these companies 

with no reviewable suspended entries of 

subject merchandise, see Appendix II. 

Preliminary Results of Review 

We preliminarily find that the 

following net countervailable subsidy 

rates exist for the period January 1, 

2022, through December 31, 2022: 12

interested parties for these preliminary 

results within five days of any public 

announcement or, if there is no public 

announcement, within five days of the 

date of publication of this notice in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).13

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.309(c)(1)(ii), 

interested parties may submit case briefs 

to Commerce no later than 30 days after 

the date of publication of this notice.14

Rebuttal briefs, limited to issues raised 

in the case briefs, may be filed no later 

than seven days after the date for filing 

case briefs.15 Parties who submit case 

briefs or rebuttal briefs in this 

proceeding are encouraged to submit 

with each argument: (1) a table of 

contents listing each issue; and (2) a 

table of authorities.16

As provided under 19 CFR 

351.309(c)(2) and (d)(2), in prior 

proceedings we have encouraged 

interested parties to provide an 

executive summary of their brief that 

should be limited to five pages total, 

including footnotes. In this review, we 

instead request that interested parties 

provide at the beginning of their briefs 

a public, executive summary for each 

issue raised in their briefs.17 Further, we 

request that interested parties limit their 

public executive summary of each issue 

to no more than 450 words, not 

including citations. We intend to use 

the public executive summaries as the 

basis of the comment summaries 

included in the issues and decision 

memorandum that will accompany the 

final results in this administrative 

review. We request that interested 

parties include footnotes for relevant 

citations in the public executive 

summary of each issue. Note that 

Commerce has amended certain of its 

requirements pertaining to the service of 

documents in 19 CFR 351.303(f).18

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), 

interested parties who wish to request a 

hearing, limited to issues raised in case 

and rebuttal briefs, must submit a 

written request to the Assistant 

Secretary for Enforcement and 

Compliance, filed electronically via 

ACCESS. An electronically filed hearing 

request must be received successfully in 

its entirety by Commerce’s electronic 

records system, ACCESS, by 5 p.m. 

Eastern Time within 30 days after the 

date of publication of this notice.19

Requests should contain: (1) the party’s 

name, address, and telephone number; 

(2) the number of participants and 

whether any participant is a foreign 

national; and (3) a list of issues to be 

discussed. If a request for a hearing is 

made, we will inform parties of the 

scheduled date and time of the hearing. 

Assessment Rates 

In accordance with section 

751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.221(b)(4)(i), we preliminarily 

assigned subsidy rates in the amounts 

shown above for the producers/ 

exporters shown above. Consistent with 

section 751(a)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.212(b)(2), upon issuance of the final 

results, Commerce shall determine, and 

CBP shall assess, countervailing duties 

on all appropriate entries covered by 

this review. 

For the companies for which this 

review is rescinded with these 

preliminary results, we will instruct 

CBP to assess countervailing duties on 

all appropriate entries at a rate equal to 

the cash deposit of estimated 

countervailing duties required at the 

time of entry, or withdrawal from 

warehouse, for consumption, during the 

period January 1, 2022, through 

December 31, 2022, in accordance with 

19 CFR 351.212(c)(l)(i). For the 

companies remaining in the review, we 

intend to issue assessment instructions 

to CBP no earlier than 35 days after the 

date of publication of the final results of 

this review in the Federal Register. If a 

timely summons is filed at the U.S. 

Court of International Trade, the 

assessment instructions will direct CBP 

not to liquidate relevant entries until the 

time for parties to file a request for a 

statutory injunction has expired (i.e., 

within 90 days of publication). 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

In accordance with section 

751(a)(2)(C) of the Act, Commerce 

intends upon publication of the final 

results, to instruct U.S. Customs and 

Border Protection (CBP) to collect cash 

deposits of the estimated countervailing 

duties in the amounts calculated in the 

final results of this review for the 

respective companies listed above with 

regard to shipments of subject 

merchandise entered, or withdrawn 

from warehouse, for consumption on or 

after the date of publication of the final 

results of this review. If the rate 

calculated in the final results is zero or 

de minimis, no cash deposit will be 

required on shipments of the subject 

merchandise entered or withdrawn from 

warehouse, for consumption on or after 

the date of publication of the final 

results of this review. 

For all non-reviewed firms, CBP will 

continue to collect cash deposits of 

estimated countervailing duties at the 

all-others rate or the most recent 

company-specific rate applicable to the 

company, as appropriate. These cash 

deposit requirements, when imposed, 

shall remain in effect until further 

notice. 

Final Results 

Unless extended, we intend to issue 

the final results of this administrative 

review, which will include the results of 

our analysis of the issues raised in the 

case briefs, within 120 days of the date 

of publication of these preliminary 

results in the Federal Register, pursuant 

to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of 

Commerce (Commerce) determines that 

certain carbon and alloy steel cut-tolength plate (CTL plate) from the 

Federal Republic of Germany (Germany) 

was not sold in the United States at less 

than normal value during the period of 

review (POR) May 1, 2022, through 

April 30, 2023. 

DATES: Applicable October 9, 2024.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On June 3, 2024, Commerce published 

the Preliminary Results and invited 

interested parties to comment.1 We 

received no comments from interested 

parties on the Preliminary Results, and 

we have made no changes from the 

Preliminary Results. Accordingly, there 

is no decision memorandum 

accompanying this Federal Register 

notice. 

On July 22, 2024, Commerce tolled 

certain deadlines in this administrative 

proceeding by seven days.2 The 

deadline for these final results is now 

October 8, 2024. Commerce conducted 

this administrative review in 

accordance with section 751 of the 

Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). 

Scope of the Order 3

The merchandise covered by the 

Order is CTL plate from Germany. For 

a complete description of the scope of 

the Order, see the Preliminary Results. 

Final Results of Review 

We determine that the following 

estimated weighted-average dumping 

margin exists for the period May 1, 

2022, through April 30, 2023: 

Producer/exporter 

Weightedaverage 

dumping 

margin 

(percent) 

AG der Dillinger Hu ̈ttenwerke ..... 0.00 

Disclosure 

Normally, Commerce discloses to 

interested parties the calculations 

performed in connection with the final 

results of review within five days of any 

public announcement or, if there is no 

public announcement, within five days 

of the date of publication of the notice 

of final results in the Federal Register, 

in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). 

However, because Commerce made no 

changes from the Preliminary Results, 

there are no new calculations to 

disclose. 

Assessment Rates 

Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the 

Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), 

Commerce has determined, and U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 

shall assess, antidumping duties on all 

appropriate entries of subject 

merchandise in accordance with the 

final results of this review. 

Because the weighted-average 

dumping margin for AG der Dillinger 

Hu ̈ttenwerke (Dillinger) is zero or de 

minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent) we 

will instruct CBP to liquidate the 

appropriate entries without regard to 

antidumping duties. Commerce’s 

‘‘automatic assessment’’ practice will 

apply to entries of subject merchandise 

during the POR produced by Dillinger 

for which the reviewed company did 

not know that the merchandise it sold 

to the intermediary (e.g., a reseller, 

trading company, or exporter) was 

destined for the United States. In such 

instances, we will instruct CBP to 

liquidate unreviewed entries at the allothers rate if there is no rate for the 

intermediate company(ies) involved in 

the transaction.4

Commerce intends to issue 

assessment instructions to CBP no 

earlier than 35 days after the date of 

publication of the final results of this 

review in the Federal Register. If a 

timely summons is filed at the U.S. 

Court of International Trade, the 

assessment instructions will direct CBP 

not to liquidate relevant entries until the 

time for parties to file a request for a 

statutory injunction has expired (i.e., 

within 90 days of publication). 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following cash deposit 

requirements will be effective upon 

publication in the Federal Register of 

these final results of administrative 

review for all shipments of the subject 

merchandise entered, or withdrawn 

from warehouse, for consumption on or 

after the publication date, as provided 

by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) the 

cash deposit rate for the company listed 

above will be equal to the weightedaverage dumping margin established in 

the final results of this review; (2) for 

previously investigated or reviewed 

companies not listed above, the cash 

deposit rate will continue to be the 

company-specific rate published for the 

most recently completed segment of this 

proceeding in which the company 

participated; (3) if the exporter is not a 

firm covered in this review, or the lessthan-fair-value investigation, but the 

producer is, then the cash deposit rate 

will be the cash deposit rate established 

for the most recently completed segment 

for the producer of the subject 

merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit 

rate for all other producers and 

exporters will continue to be 20.99 

percent, the all-others rate established 

in the Amended Final Determination.5

These cash deposit requirements, when 

imposed, shall remain in effect until 

further notice.
