Public Comment 

Case briefs or other written comments 

may be submitted to the Assistant 

Secretary for Enforcement and 

Compliance no later than seven days 

after the date on which the last 

verification report is issued in this 

investigation. Rebuttal briefs, limited to 

issues raised in case briefs, may be 

submitted no later than five days after 

the deadline date for case briefs.6

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

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

rebuttal briefs in this investigation 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. 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), 

interested parties who wish to request a 

hearing, limited to issues raised in the 

case and rebuttal briefs, must submit a 

written request to the Assistant 

Secretary for Enforcement and 

Compliance, U.S. Department of 

Commerce, within 30 days after the date 

of publication of this notice. Requests 

should contain the party’s name, 

address, and telephone number, the 

number of participants, whether any 

participant is a foreign national, and a 

list of the issues to be discussed. If a 

request for a hearing is made, the 

Department intends to hold the hearing 

at the U.S. Department of Commerce, 

1401 Constitution Avenue NW., 

Washington, DC 20230, at a time and 

date to be determined. Parties should 

confirm by telephone the date, time, and 

location of the hearing two days before 

the scheduled date. 

Postponement of Final Determination 

and Extension of Provisional Measures 

Section 735(a)(2) of the Act provides 

that a final determination may be 

postponed until not later than 135 days 

after the date of the publication of the 

preliminary determination if, in the 

event of an affirmative preliminary 

determination, a request for such 

postponement is made by exporters who 

account for a significant proportion of 

exports of the subject merchandise, or in 

the event of a negative preliminary 

determination, a request for such 

postponement is made by the petitioner. 

Section 351.210(e)(2) of the 

Department’s regulations requires that a 

request by exporters for postponement 

of the final determination be 

accompanied by a request for extension 

of provisional measures from a fourmonth period to a period not more than 

six months in duration. 

On September 20, 2017, pursuant to 

19 CFR 351.210(e), Elkem requested that 

the Department postpone the final 

determination and that provisional 

measures be extended to a period not to 

exceed six months.7 In accordance with 

section 735(a)(2)(A) of the Act and 19 

CFR 351.210(b)(2)(ii), because: (1) The 

preliminary determination is 

affirmative; (2) the requesting exporter 

accounts for a significant proportion of 

exports of the subject merchandise; and 

(3) no compelling reasons for denial 

exist, the Department is postponing the 

final determination and extending the 

provisional measures from a four-month 

period to a period not greater than six 

months. Accordingly, the Department 

will make its final determination no 

later than 135 days after the date of 

publication of this preliminary 

determination. 

International Trade Commission 

Notification 

In accordance with section 733(f) of 

the Act, the Department will notify the 

International Trade Commission (ITC) of 

its preliminary determination. If the 

final determination is affirmative, the 

ITC will determine before the later of 

120 days after the date of this 

preliminary determination or 45 days 

after the final determination whether 

these imports are materially injuring, or 

threaten material injury to, the U.S. 

industry. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

This determination is issued and 

published in accordance with sections 

733(f) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 

CFR 351.205(c). 

Dated: October 4, 2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On June 6, 2017, the Department 

published in the Federal Register the 

preliminary results of the 2015–2016 AR 

of the AD order on LWRPT from 

Turkey.1 For events subsequent to the 

Preliminary Results, see the 

Department’s Issues and Decision 

Memorandum.2 This review covers nine 

producers/exporters of subject 

merchandise, including the two 

respondents selected for individual 

examination: Agir Haddecilik A.S. 

(Agir), Cayirova Boru Sanayi ve Ticaret 

A.S., CINAR Boru Profil Sanayi ve 

Ticaret A.S., Noksel Celik Boru Sanayi 

A.S., Toscelik Metal Ticaret A.S., 

Toscelik Profil ve Sac Endustrisi A.S., 

Tosyali Dis Ticaret A.S., Yucelboru 

Ihracat Ithalat ve Pazarlama A.S., and 

Yucel Boru ve Profil Endustrisi A.S. 

Scope of the Order 

The merchandise subject to this order 

is certain welded carbon quality lightwalled steel pipe and tube, of 

rectangular (including square) cross 

section, having a wall thickness of less 

than 4 mm.3 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 

7306.61.50.00 and 7306.61.70.60. While 

HTSUS subheadings are provided for 

convenience and CBP’s customs 

purposes, our written description of the 

scope of the order is dispositive. 

Analysis of Comments Received 

All issues raised in the case and 

rebuttal briefs filed by parties in this 

review are addressed in the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum, which is hereby 

adopted by this notice. A list of the 

issues that parties raised, and to which 

we responded in the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum, follows as an 

appendix to this notice. The Issues and 

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 https://

access.trade.gov and to all parties in the 

Central Records Unit, room B8024 of the 

main Department of Commerce 

building. In addition, a complete 

version of the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum can be accessed directly 

on the Internet at http://

enforcement.trade.gov/frn/. The paper 

copy and electronic version of the Issues 

and Decision Memorandum are 

identical in content. 

Changes Since the Preliminary Results 

Based on a review of the record and 

comments received from interested 

parties regarding our Preliminary 

Results, and for the reasons explained in 

the Issues and Decision Memorandum, 

we made revisions to our preliminary 

calculations of the weighted-average 

dumping margins for the mandatory 

respondents, CINAR and Noksel.4

Regarding CINAR, the Department 

modified CINAR’s home market and 

margin calculation programs to capture 

all domestic brokerage and handling 

expenses and revised the date 

parameters that define home market and 

U.S. sales. Regarding Noksel, the 

Department modified Noksel’s U.S. 

margin program to exclude certain sales 

that were entered outside of the POR. 

Final Determination of No Shipments 

In the Preliminary Results, we found 

that one company, Agir Haddecilik A.S., 

had no shipments during the POR.5

Consistent with the Department’s 

assessment practice, the Department 

completed the review with respect to 

Agir.6 For these final results, we 

continue to find that Agir had no 

shipments during the POR.7 As noted in 

the ‘‘Assessment’’ section below, the 

Department will issue appropriate 

instructions with respect to this 

company to CBP based on our final 

results.8 In addition, Agir will maintain 

its dumping margin from the most 

recently completed segment of this 

proceeding in which it participated., 

i.e., 0.00 percent.9

Final Results of Review 

As a result of this review, we 

determine the following weightedaverage dumping margins exist for the 

POR:

margin

A.S., Toscelik Profil ve Sac Endustrisi

individually-examined respondents, 

based on their publicly available, ranged 

total U.S. sales values of the selected 

respondents. The resulting weightedaverage dumping margin being assigned

Disclosure 

The Department intends to disclose 

the calculations performed for these 

final results of review within five days 

of the date of publication of this notice 

in the Federal Register, in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.224(b). 

Assessment Rates 

The Department shall determine and 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 

shall assess antidumping duties on all 

appropriate entries.11 The Department 

calculated importer-specific ad valorem 

antidumping duty assessment rates by 

aggregating the total amount of dumping 

calculated for the examined sales of 

each importer and dividing each of 

these amounts by the total entered value 

associated with those sales. The 

Department will instruct CBP to assess 

antidumping duties on all appropriate 

entries covered by this review where an 

importer-specific assessment rate is not 

zero or de minimis. Pursuant to the 

Final Modification for Reviews, we will 

instruct CBP to liquidate without regard 

to antidumping duties any entries for 

which the importer-specific assessment 

rate is zero or de minimis. Additionally, 

because the Department determined that 

Agir Haddecilik A.S. had no shipments 

of the subject merchandise, any 

suspended entries that entered under 

the company’s case numbers (i.e., at the 

company’s rate) will be liquidated at the 

all-others rate effective during the 

period of review, consistent with the 

Department’s practice. 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following cash deposit 

requirements will be effective upon 

publication of the notice of final results 

of administrative review for all 

shipments of subject merchandise 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after the 

publication 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 respondents noted 

above will be the rate established in the 

final results of this administrative 

review; (2) for previously reviewed or 

investigated companies not listed above, 

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 producer is, 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 27.04 percent, the all-others rate 

established in the investigation.12 These 

cash deposit requirements, when 

imposed, shall remain in effect until 

further notice. 

Notification to Importers Regarding the 

Reimbursement of Duties 

This notice also 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 

Department’s presumption that 

reimbursement of antidumping duties 

occurred and the subsequent assessment 

of double antidumping duties. 

Notification Regarding Administrative 

Protective Orders (APO) 

This notice also serves as a reminder 

to parties subject to APO of their 

responsibility concerning the return or 

destruction of proprietary information 

disclosed under APO in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), which 

continues to govern business 

proprietary information in this segment 

of the proceeding. 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 which is subject to sanction. 

This notice of the final results of this 

antidumping duty administrative review 

is issued and published in accordance 

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

Act and 19 CFR 351.213 and 19 CFR 

351.221(b)(5).
