SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On April 7, 2021, Commerce published the Preliminary Results of 
this review of the antidumping duty order on LWRPT from Turkey covering 
the period of review (POR) May 1, 2019, through April 30, 2020.\1\ No 
parties commented on the Preliminary Results.

Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review; 2019-
2020, 86 FR 18035 (April 7, 2021) (Preliminary Results).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Scope of the Order

    The merchandise subject to this order is certain welded carbon 
quality light-walled steel pipe and tube, of rectangular (including 
square) cross section, having a wall thickness of less than 4 mm. The 
term carbon-quality steel includes both carbon steel and alloy steel 
which contains only small amounts of alloying elements. Specifically, 
the term carbon-quality includes products in which none of the elements 
listed below exceeds the quantity by weight respectively indicated: 
1.80 percent of manganese, or 2.25 percent of silicon, or 1.00 percent 
of copper, or 0.50 percent of aluminum, or 1.25 percent of chromium, or 
0.30 percent of cobalt, or 0.40 percent of lead, or 1.25 percent of 
nickel, or 0.30 percent of tungsten, or 0.10 percent of molybdenum, or 
0.10 percent of niobium, or 0.15 percent vanadium, or 0.15 percent of 
zirconium. The description of carbon-quality is intended to identify 
carbon-quality products within the scope. The welded carbon-quality 
rectangular pipe and tube subject to this order is currently classified 
under the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) 
subheadings 7306.61.5000 and 7306.61.7060. While HTSUS subheadings are 
provided for convenience and CBP's customs purposes, our written 
description of the scope of the order is dispositive.

Analysis

    Based on information obtained from U.S. Customs and Border 
Protection (CBP), in the Preliminary Results Commerce determined that, 
during the POR, there were no suspended U.S. entries of subject 
merchandise from the following companies: (1) Cinar Boru Profil Sanayi 
ve Ticaret A.S.; (2) Intermetal International Metal L.L.C.; (3) Parker 
Steel Company, Inc.; (4) Parker Steel International; (5) Tata Steel 
Nederland Tubes BV; and (6) Van Leeuwen Precisie B.V.\2\ No parties 
commented on the Preliminary Results.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ See Preliminary Results.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In these final results of review, we are making no changes to the 
Preliminary Results. We continue to find, based on information obtained 
from CBP, that during the POR, there were no suspended U.S. entries of 
subject merchandise from each of the six companies under review. 
Nevertheless, as noted in the Preliminary Results, we forwarded to CBP 
an allegation from Nucor Tubular Products Inc., a domestic interested 
party, that certain merchandise from the companies under review that 
was entered into the United States during the POR was misreported to 
CBP as non-subject merchandise when it may be subject merchandise.

Assessment

    Upon issuance of these final results, Commerce will determine, and 
CBP shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries in 
accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). For any entries found to be 
associated with the six companies under review, we will instruct CBP to 
liquidate such entries at the all-others rate if there is no rate for 
the intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction, consistent 
with Commerce's reseller policy.\3\

    \3\ See Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Proceedings: 
Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier 
than 35 days after the date of

[[Page 41441]]

publication of this notice 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 for all 
entries of LWRPT from Turkey entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for 
consumption on or after the date of publication of this notice in the 
Federal Register, as provided for by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: 
(1) If a company-specific weighted-average dumping margin was 
previously established in a completed segment of this proceeding for 
any of the six companies listed above, then the cash deposit rate will 
continue to be equal to the company-specific weighted-average dumping 
margin established for the company in the most recently completed 
segment (except, if the rate is de minimis, i.e., less than 0.5 
percent, then the cash deposit rate will be zero percent); (2) for 
merchandise exported by a company not covered in this 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 that company in the most recently completed segment of this 
proceeding in which the company was included; (3) if the exporter of 
the subject merchandise does not have its own rate but the producer has 
its own rate, the cash deposit rate will be the company-specific rate 
established in the most recently completed segment of the proceeding 
for the producer of the subject merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit 
rate for all other producers or exporters will continue to be 27.04 
percent, the all-others rate established in the less-than-fair-value 
investigation.\4\

Value: Light-Walled Rectangular Pipe and Tube from Turkey, 73 FR 
19814 (April 11, 2008).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in 
effect until further notice.

Notification to Importers

    This notice also serves as a final reminder to importers of their 
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f) 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 Commerce's presumption that reimbursement 
of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of double 
antidumping duties.

Notification to Interested Parties

    These final results of administrative review are issued and 
published in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the 
Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(1).
