during the period of review (POR) July 

1, 2019, through June 30, 2020. 

Additionally, we preliminarily find that 

one producer/exporter, Colakoglu 

Metalurji A. S. (Colakoglu Metal), did 

not make sales of subject merchandise at 

less than normal value during the POR 

and one company, Habas Sinai ve Tibbi

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On July 14, 2017, Commerce 

published the antidumping duty order 

on rebar from Turkey.1 On September 3, 

2020, in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.221(c)(1)(i), Commerce initiated an 

administrative review of the Order, 

covering nine companies.2 On October 

6, 2020, Commerce selected Colakoglu 

Metal and Kaptan Demir Celik 

Endu ̈ strisi ve Ticaret A.S. (Kaptan 

Demir) as the mandatory respondents 

for this review.3 On March 15, 2021, 

pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the 

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

and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2), Commerce 

extended the time limit for issuing the 

preliminary results of this 

administrative review to July 30, 2021.4

Scope of the Order 

The product covered by the Order is 

steel concrete reinforcing bar from 

Turkey. For a full description of the 

scope, see the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum.5

Methodology 

Commerce is conducting this review 

in accordance with section 751(a) of the 

Act. Export price and constructed 

export price are calculated in 

accordance with section 772 of the Act. 

Normal value is calculated in 

accordance with section 773 of the Act. 

For a full description of the 

methodology underlying these 

preliminary results, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum. A list of topics 

discussed in the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum is attached as an 

appendix 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 http://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/. 

Preliminary Determination of No 

Shipments 

On September 6, 2020, Habas 

submitted a letter certifying that it had 

no exports or sales of subject 

merchandise into the United States 

during the POR.6 U.S. Customs and 

Border Protection (CBP) did not have 

any information to contradict this claim 

of no shipments during the POR.7

Therefore, we preliminarily determine 

that Habas did not have any shipments 

of subject merchandise during the POR. 

Consistent with Commerce’s practice, 

we will not rescind the review with 

respect to Habas but will complete the 

review and issue instructions to CBP 

based on the final results.8

Rates for Non-Examined Companies 

The statute and Commerce’s 

regulations do not address the 

establishment of a rate to be applied to 

companies not selected for individual 

examination when Commerce limits its 

examination in an administrative review 

pursuant to section 777A(c)(2) of the 

Act. Generally, Commerce looks to 

section 735(c)(5) of the Act, which 

provides instructions for calculating the 

all-others rate in a market economy 

investigation, for guidance when 

calculating the rate for companies 

which were not selected for individual 

examination in an administrative 

review. Under section 735(c)(5)(A) of 

the Act, the all-others rate is normally 

‘‘an amount equal to the weighted 

average of the estimated weightedaverage dumping margins established 

for exporters and producers 

individually investigated, excluding any 

zero or de minimis margins, and any 

margins determined entirely {on the 

basis of facts available}.’’ 

We calculated a preliminary 

weighted-average dumping margin of 

0.00 percent for Colakoglu Metal and 

1.05 percent for Kaptan Demir the POR. 

For the four companies not selected for 

individual examination, Commerce 

assigned the rate of 1.05 percent, which 

is the weighted-average dumping 

margin calculated for Kaptan Demir, 

because it is the only dumping margin 

calculated for a mandatory respondent 

in this administrative review that is not 

zero or de minimis. 

Preliminary Results of This Review 

As a result of this review, we 

preliminarily determine the following 

estimated weighted-average dumping 

margins for the period July 1, 2019, 

through June 30, 2020:

Disclosure and Public Comment 

Commerce intends to disclose its 

calculations performed within five days 

of the date of publication of this notice 

in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). 

Commerce will announce the briefing 

schedule to interested parties at a later 

date. Interested parties may submit case 

briefs on the deadline that Commerce 

will announce. Rebuttal briefs, limited 

to issues raised in case briefs, may be 

submitted no later than seven days after 

the deadline date for case briefs.12

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.309(c)(2) and 

(d)(2), parties who submit case briefs or 

rebuttal briefs in this review are 

encouraged to submit with each 

argument: (1) A statement of the issue; 

(2) a brief summary of the argument; 

and (3) a table of authorities. Executive 

summaries should be limited to five 

pages total, including footnotes. Case 

and rebuttal briefs should be filed using 

ACCESS 13 and must be served on 

interested parties.14 Note that 

Commerce has temporarily modified 

certain of its requirements for serving 

documents containing business 

proprietary information, until further 

notice.15

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), 

interested parties who wish to request a 

hearing must submit a written request to 

the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement 

and Compliance, filed electronically via

hearing at a time and date to be 

determined.17 Parties should confirm by 

telephone the date, time, and location of 

the hearing two days before the 

scheduled date. 

Assessment Rates 

Upon completion of the 

administrative review, Commerce shall 

determine, and U.S. CBP shall assess, 

antidumping duties on all appropriate 

entries covered by this review. 

For any individually examined 

respondents whose weighted-average 

dumping margin is above de minimis 

(i.e., 0.50 percent), we will calculate 

importer-specific ad valorem duty 

assessment rates based on the ratio of 

the total amount of dumping calculated 

for the importer’s examined sales to the 

total entered value of those same sales 

in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.212(b)(1).18 For entries of subject 

merchandise during the POR produced 

by each respondent for which it did not 

know its merchandise was destined for 

the United States, 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.19 Where either the 

individually-selected respondent’s 

weighted-average dumping margin is 

zero or de minimis, or an importerspecific assessment rate is zero or de 

minimis, we will instruct CBP to 

liquidate the appropriate entries 

without regard to antidumping duties. 

For the companies which were not 

selected for individual review, we 

intend to assign an assessment rate 

based on the methodology described in 

the ‘‘Rates for Non-Examined 

Companies’’ section. 

The final results of this review shall 

be the basis for the assessment of 

antidumping duties on entries of 

merchandise covered by this review 

where applicable. 

Consistent with its recent notice, 

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 deposit requirements 

will be effective for all shipments of the 

subject merchandise entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after the publication 

date of the final results of this 

administrative review, as provided by 

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

cash deposit rate for the companies 

under review will be the rate 

established in the final results of this 

review (except, if the ad valorem rate is 

de minimis, then the cash deposit rate 

will be zero); (2) for previously 

reviewed or investigated companies not 

covered in this review, the cash deposit 

rate will continue to be the companyspecific rate published for the most

Final Results of Review 

Unless otherwise extended, 

Commerce intends to issue the final 

results of this administrative review,

Notification to Importers 

This notice serves as a preliminary 

reminder to importers of their 

responsibility under 19 CFR 

351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate 

regarding the reimbursement of 

antidumping and/or countervailing 

duties prior to liquidation of the 

relevant entries during this POR. Failure 

to comply with this requirement could 

result in Commerce’s presumption that 

reimbursement of antidumping and/or 

countervailing duties occurred and the 

subsequent assessment of doubled 

antidumping duties. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

The preliminary results of review are 

issued and published in accordance 

with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of 

the Act, and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4).
