In addition, we preliminarily determine that Toscelik and its affiliates, Tosyali, TDC, Toscelik Granul San A.S., Tosyali Celik Ticaret A.S., and Toscelik Spiral Boru Uretim Sanayi A.S., should be treated as a single entity (hereinafter referred to as Toscelik Single Entity) for the purposes of the Department's analysis in this administrative review.[2] Methodology The Department is conducting this administrative review in accordance with section 751(a)(2) of the Act. Export price is calculated in accordance with section 772 of the Act. Normal value is calculated in accordance with section 773 of the Act.

Assessment Rates Upon completion of the final results, the Department shall determine and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. If the Toscelik Single Entity's weighted-average dumping margin is above 
                    *de minimis*
                     in the final results of this review, we will calculate an importer-specific assessment rate on the basis of the ratio of the total amount of antidumping duties calculated for the importer's examined sales and the total entered value of the sales in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).[8]
                    
                     If the Toscelik Single Entity's weighted-average dumping margin continues to be zero or 
                    *de minimis*
                     in the final results of review, we will instruct CBP not to assess duties on any of its entries in accordance with the 
                    *Final Modification for Reviews.*[9] For entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by the Toscelik Single Entity for which it did not know its merchandise was destined for the United States, we will instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed entries at the all-others rate if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction. We intend to issue liquidation instructions to CBP 15 days after publication of the final results of this review. Cash Deposit Requirements The following deposit requirements will be effective upon publication of the 
                    ( print page 42287)
                    notice of final results of this review for all shipments of OCTG from Turkey entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of publication as provided by section 751(a)(2) of the Act: (1) The cash deposit rate for the Toscelik Single Entity will be the rate established in the final results of this administrative review; (2) for merchandise exported by manufacturers or exporters not covered in this review but covered in a prior 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 review, a prior review, or the original investigation but the manufacturer is, the cash deposit rate will be the rate established for the most recent period for the manufacturer of the merchandise; (4) the cash deposit rate for all other manufacturers or exporters will continue to be 35.86 percent,[10]
                    
                     the all-others rate established in the less-than-fair-value investigation. These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice. 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 duties prior to liquidation of the relevant entries during this POR. Failure to comply with this requirement could result in the Department's presumption that reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of double antidumping duties. Notification to Interested Parties The Department is issuing and publishing these results in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.221(1)(b)(4). Dated: August 31, 2017.
