    Final Results of the Administrative Review
    For the final results of the administrative review, we determine 
that the following percentage weighted-average dumping margin exists 
for the period September 1, 2015, through August 31, 2016:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                              Weighted-

                     Producer/exporter                          margin
                                                              (percent)

Toscelik Profil ve Sac Endustrisi A.S......................        9.13
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Assessment

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.212(b)(1), Commerce will determine, and CBP shall assess, 
antidumping duties on all appropriate entries of subject merchandise in 
accordance with the final results of this review. For Toscelik, we 
calculated importer-specific assessment rates on the basis of the ratio 
of the total amount of antidumping duties calculated for each 
importer's examined sales and the total entered value of the sales in 
accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ In these final results, Commerce applied the assessment rate 
calculation method adopted in Antidumping Proceedings: Calculation 
of the Weighted-Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in 
Certain Antidumping Duty Proceedings; Final Modification, 77 FR 8101 
(February 14, 2012).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    For entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by 
Toscelik for which it did not know that the merchandise was destined 
for the United States, we will instruct CBP to liquidate un-reviewed 
entries at the all-others rate if there is no rate for the intermediate 
company(ies) involved in the transaction. We intend to issue 
instructions to CBP 15 days after publication of the final results of 
this review.

Cash Deposit Requirements

    The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon 
publication of the notice of final results of the administrative review 
for all shipments of OCTG from Turkey entered, or withdrawn from 
warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of publication as 
provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) The cash deposit rate 
for Toscelik will be 9.13 percent, the weighted-average dumping margin 
established in the final results of this administrative review; (2) for 
merchandise exported by producers or exporters not covered in this 
administrative review but covered in a prior completed segment of the 
proceeding, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the company-
specific rate published for the most recent period; (3) if the exporter 
is not a firm covered in this administrative review, a prior review, or 
the original investigation, but the producer has been covered in a 
prior complete segment of this proceeding, the cash deposit rate will 
be the rate established for the most recent period for the producer of 
the merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate for all other producers 
or exporters will continue to be 35.86 percent, the all-others rate 
established in the original less-than-fair-value investigation.\7\ 
These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect 
until further notice.

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

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 the Secretary's presumption that 
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent 
assessment of double antidumping duties.

Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Orders

    This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the destruction 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 terms of an APO is a violation subject 
to sanction.

Notification to Interested Parties

    We are issuing and publishing these results in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h).

    Dated: January 4, 2018.
Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
