Background
On February 12, 2018, Commerce published its Preliminary Results of
the review of the antidumping duty order on LWRPT from Turkey covering
the period of review (POR) May 1, 2016 through April 30, 2017.\1\ No

Preliminary Results and Partial Rescission of Antidumping Duty
Administrative Review; 2016-2017, 83 FR 5987 (February 12, 2018)
(Preliminary Results).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scope of the Order
The merchandise covered by the antidumping 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 millimeters. The merchandise subject to the order is classified in
the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States at subheadings
7306.61.50.00 and 7306.61.70.60.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ For a complete description of the scope of the order see
``Decision Memorandum for Preliminary Results of the 2016-2017
Antidumping Duty Administrative Review of Light-Walled Rectangular
Pipe and Tube from Turkey,'' dated February 5, 2018 (Preliminary
Decision Memorandum).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Analysis
In the Preliminary Results, we determined that Agir Haddecilik A.S.
(Agir) did not make sales of subject merchandise at prices below normal
value during the period May 1, 2016, through April 30, 2017.\3\ As no
parties commented on the Preliminary Results, we are adopting the
decisions in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum in these final results
of review. For additional details, see the Preliminary Decision
Memorandum, which 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 and in the Central
Records Unit, room B8024 of the main Department of Commerce building.
In addition, a complete version of the Preliminary Decision Memorandum
can be accessed directly on the internet at http://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/index.html. The signed and the electronic
versions of the Preliminary Decision Memorandum are identical in
content.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Final Results of Review
As a result of this review, Commerce determines that the following
weighted-average dumping margin exists for Agir for the period May 1,
2016, through April 30, 2017:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weighted-
average
Manufacturer/exporter margin
(percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Agir Haddecilik A.S......................................... 0.00
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 351.212(b), we have determined, and U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on
all appropriate entries of subject merchandise in accordance with the
final results of this review.\4\ We intend to issue assessment
instructions to CBP 15 days after the publication date of this notice
of the final results of this review. Because we calculated a weighted-
average dumping margin of zero for Agir, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties.
In accordance with Commerce's ``automatic assessment'' practice, for
entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by Agir for
which it did not know that the merchandise was destined for the United
States, we will instruct CBP to liquidate those entries at the all-
others rate if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies)
involved in the transaction.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ In these final results, Commerce applied the assessment rate
calculation method adopted in Antidumping Proceedings: Calculation
of the Weighted-Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in
Certain Antidumping Proceedings: Final Modification, 77 FR 8101
(February 14, 2012) (Final Modification for Reviews).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective for all
shipments of subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the publication date of this notice of the
final results of this review, as provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of
the Act: (1) The cash deposit rate for Agir will be equal to the
weighted-average dumping margin established in the final results of
this 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 recently completed segment of this
proceeding in which the manufacturer or exporter participated; (3) if
the exporter is not a firm covered in this review, a prior review, or
the less-than-fair-value investigation, but the
[[Page 24279]]
manufacturer is, the cash deposit rate will be the rate established in
the most recently completed segment of the proceeding for the
manufacturer of the merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate for all
other manufacturers or exporters will continue to be 27.04 percent ad
valorem, the all-others rate established in the less-than-fair-value
investigation.\5\ These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.

Notification to Interested Parties
This notice 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 Secretary's presumption that
reimbursement of the antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping duties.
This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective orders (APOs) of their responsibility
concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305, which continues
to govern business proprietary information in this segment of the
proceeding. Timely written notification of the return/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 that is subject to sanction.
This notice 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).
