and Decision Memorandum.

Final Results of Changed Circumstances Reviews

    For the reasons stated in the Preliminary Results, we continue to 
find that Borusan Boru is the successor-in-interest to BMB. As a 
result, we determine that Borusan Boru is entitled to receive the cash 
deposit rate previously assigned to Borusan Mannesmann for merchandise 
subject to the Standard Pipe CVD Order, Welded Line Pipe CVD Order, and 
OCTG CVD Order. Consequently, will Commerce instruct U.S. Customs and 
Border Protection (CBP) to collect cash deposits 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and/or exported by Borusan Boru and entered, or withdrawn from 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 November 13, 2023, at the rate 
assigned to BMB.\6\ Further, Commerce will 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, these cash deposit requirements shall remain in effect 
until further notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ The current rate for BMB under the Standard Pipe CVD Order 
is 0.83 percent. See Circular Welded Carbon Steel Pipes and Tubes
