Administration (EDA) has received
petitions for certification of eligibility to
apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance
from the firms listed below.
Accordingly, EDA has initiated
investigations to determine whether
increased imports into the United States
of articles like or directly competitive
with those produced by each of these
firms contributed importantly to the
total or partial separation of the firm’s
workers, or threat thereof, and to a
decrease in sales or production of each
petitioning firm.

Countervailing Duty Operations, to Paul
Piquado, Assistant Secretary for
Enforcement and Compliance,
‘‘Decision Memorandum for Preliminary
Results of Antidumping Duty
Administrative Review: Welded Carbon
Steel Standard Pipe and Tube Products
from Turkey; 2012–2013 Administrative
Review’’ (Preliminary Decision
Memorandum), which is hereby
adopted by this notice. The written
description is dispositive.
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 (IA ACCESS).
Access to IA ACCESS is available to
registered users at https://
iaaccess.trade.gov and is available to all
parties in the Central Records Unit,
Room 7046 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 https://
enforcement.trade.gov/frn/.
The signed Preliminary Decision
Memorandum and the electronic
versions of the Preliminary Decision
Memorandum are identical in content.
Methodology
The Department has conducted this
review in accordance with section
751(a)(2) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (the Act). Export price is
calculated in accordance with section
772 of the Act. Normal value (NV) is
calculated in accordance with section
773 of the Act.
To determine the appropriate
comparison method, the Department
applied a ‘‘differential pricing’’ analysis
and has preliminarily determined to use
the average-to-transaction method to
calculate the weighted-average dumping
margin for Borusan, and the average-toaverage method to calculate the
weighted-average dumping margin for
Toscelik.
For a full description of the
methodology underlying our
conclusions, see the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum.
Preliminary Determination of No
Shipments
The following companies submitted
letters to the Department indicating they
had no shipments, sales, or entries of
subject merchandise during the POR:
Metaleks Celik Urunleri San. ve Tic.
Ltd. Sti., on July 2, 2013; ERBOSAN
Erciyas Boru Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S., on
July 29, 2013; Umran Celik Boru Sanayii
A.S. and Umran Steel Pipe Inc., on
August 5, 2013; Guven Celik Boru San.
ve Tic. Ltd. and Guven Steel Pipe, on
August 7, 2013; and Cayirova Boru
Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S., Yucel Boru ve
Profil Endustrisi A.S, Yucelboru Ihracat
Ithalat ve Pazarlama A.S., self-identified
as the Yucel Group companies, on
March 27, 2014.
On April 8, 2014, the Department
issued a ‘‘No Shipment Inquiry’’ to U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to
confirm that there were no entries of
welded pipe and tube from Turkey
produced and/or exported by the
aforementioned companies during the
POR. CBP did not respond to our
inquiry with any indication that
merchandise had entered during the
POR that was produced and/or exported
by the companies referenced in the
inquiry. In addition, we obtained other
documentation from CBP that supports
the conclusion that there were no such
entries during the POR for the
companies in question.
Based on the certifications, CBP’s lack
of a positive response to our inquiry,
and analysis of the other information on
the record referenced above, we
preliminarily determine the
aforementioned companies identified in
the Department’s inquiry to CBP had no
shipments during the POR. However,
consistent with our practice, the
Department finds that it is not
appropriate to rescind the review with
respect to those companies, but rather to
complete the review with respect to
them, and to issue appropriate
instructions to CBP based on the final
results of this review.
Preliminary Results of Review
As a result of this review, we
preliminarily determine that the
weighted-average dumping margins for
the period May 1, 2012, through April
30, 2013, are as follows:

19 CFR 351.310(c).
25JNN1

shall determine, and CBP shall assess,
antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries in accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1). We intend to issue
instructions to CBP 15 days after the
date of publication of the final results of
this review.
If Borusan’s or Toscelik’s weightedaverage dumping margins are not zero
or de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent)
in the final results of this review, we
will calculate importer-specific
assessment rates on the basis of the ratio
of the total amount of dumping
calculated for the importer’s examined
sales and the total entered value of the
sales in accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1). Where either a
respondent’s weighted-average dumping
margin is zero or de minimis, or an
importer-specific assessment rate is zero
or de minimis, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate the appropriate entries
without regard to antidumping duties.

Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash 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 Borusan and
Toscelik will be equal to the weightedaverage dumping margin established in
the final results of this review, except if
the rate is de minimis within the
meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1), in
which case the cash deposit rate will be
zero; (2) for other manufacturers and
exporters covered in a prior segment of
the proceeding, the cash deposit rate
will continue to be the companyspecific rate published for the most
recently completed segment of this
proceeding in which that manufacturer
or exporter participated; (3) if the
exporter is not a firm covered in this
review, a prior review, or the original
less-than-fair-value (LTFV)
investigation, but the manufacturer is,
then the cash deposit rate will be the
rate established for the most recently
completed segment of this proceeding
for the manufacturer of subject
merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit
rate for all other manufacturers or
exporters will continue to be 14.74
percent, the all-others rate established
in the LTFV investigation.12 These
deposit requirements, when imposed,

Notification
This notice also 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
review period. Failure to comply with
this requirement could result in the
Secretary’s presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties
occurred and the subsequent assessment
of double antidumping duties.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing these
results in accordance with sections
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

SUMMARY: In response to a request by interested parties,\1\ the
Department of Commerce (the Department) is conducting an administrative
review of the antidumping duty order on welded carbon steel standard
pipe and tube products (welded pipe and tube) from Turkey.\2\ The
period of review is May 1, 2012, to April 30, 2013. This review covers
the following companies: Borusan Holding A.S., Borusan Istikbal Ticaret
T.A.S., Borusan Lojistik Dagitim Depolama Tasimacilik ve Tic A.S.,
Borusan Mannesmann Boru Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S., Cayirova Boru Sanayi ve

Ticaret A.S., Umran Celik Boru Sanayii A.S., Umran Steel Pipe Inc.,
Yucel Boru ve Profil Endustrisi A.S, Yucelboru Ihracat Ithalat ve
Pazarlama A.S., and Yucel Group. The Department preliminarily finds
that all of the aforementioned firms had no shipments, with the
exception of Borusan Mannesmann Boru Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S. and
Toscelik Profil ve Sac Endustrisi A.S.\3\ We preliminarily determine
that Borusan made U.S. sales below normal value, and that Toscelik did
not make U.S. sales below normal value. The preliminary results are
listed below in the section titled ``Preliminary Results of Review.''

inadvertently referenced the incorrect order title. See id. The
Federal Register notice and memorandum accompanying these
preliminary results use the original and correct order title, as
reflected in the original 1985 order. See Antidumping Duty Order;
Welded Carbon Steel Standard Pipe and Tube Products from Turkey, 51
FR 17784 (May 15, 1986).
\3\ In prior segments of this proceeding, we have treated
Borusan Mannesmann Boru Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S., Borusan Istikbal
Ticaret T.A.S., and Borusan Lojistik Dagitim Depolama Tasimacilik ve
Tic A.S. as the same legal entity. See, e.g., customs message number
4008308, dated January 8, 2014. We preliminarily determine that
there is no evidence on the record for altering such treatment of
these parties, referred to collectively as ``Borusan.'' In prior
segments of this proceeding we have also treated Toscelik Profil ve
Sac Endustrisi A.S., Toscelik Metal Ticaret A.S., and Tosyali Dis
Ticaret A.S. as the same legal entity. See, e.g., customs message
number 4021306, dated January 21, 2014. Based on information on the
record of this review, we have preliminarily determined that
Toscelik Metal Ticaret A.S. ceased existence prior to the POR. See
the October 31, 2013 questionnaire response of Toscelik Profil ve
Sac Endustrisi A.S. and Tosyali Dis Ticaret A.S. at 3. Therefore,
for these preliminary results, we treat only Toscelik Profil ve Sac
Endustrisi A.S. and Tosyali Dis Ticaret A.S. as the same legal

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Scope of the Order
The merchandise subject to the order is welded pipe and tube. The
welded pipe and tube subject to the order is currently classifiable
under subheading 7306.30.10.00, 7306.30.50.25, 7306.30.50.32,
7306.30.50.40, 7306.30.50.55, 7306.30.50.85, and 7306.30.50.90 of the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS). The HTSUS
subheading is provided for convenience and customs purposes. A full
description of the scope of the order is contained in the memorandum
from Christian Marsh, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and
[[Page 36000]]
Countervailing Duty Operations, to Paul Piquado, Assistant Secretary
for Enforcement and Compliance, ``Decision Memorandum for Preliminary
Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review: Welded Carbon Steel
Standard Pipe and Tube Products from Turkey; 2012-2013 Administrative
Review'' (Preliminary Decision Memorandum), which is hereby adopted by
this notice. The written description is dispositive.
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 (IA ACCESS).
Access to IA ACCESS is available to registered users at https://iaaccess.trade.gov and is available to all parties in the Central
Records Unit, Room 7046 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 https://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/. The signed Preliminary Decision Memorandum and the
electronic versions of the Preliminary Decision Memorandum are
identical in content.
Methodology
The Department has conducted this review in accordance with section
751(a)(2) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). Export price
is calculated in accordance with section 772 of the Act. Normal value
(NV) is calculated in accordance with section 773 of the Act.
To determine the appropriate comparison method, the Department
applied a ``differential pricing'' analysis and has preliminarily
determined to use the average-to-transaction method to calculate the
weighted-average dumping margin for Borusan, and the average-to-average
method to calculate the weighted-average dumping margin for Toscelik.
For a full description of the methodology underlying our
conclusions, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
Preliminary Determination of No Shipments
The following companies submitted letters to the Department
indicating they had no shipments, sales, or entries of subject
merchandise during the POR: Metaleks Celik Urunleri San. ve Tic. Ltd.
Sti., on July 2, 2013; ERBOSAN Erciyas Boru Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S., on
July 29, 2013; Umran Celik Boru Sanayii A.S. and Umran Steel Pipe Inc.,
on August 5, 2013; Guven Celik Boru San. ve Tic. Ltd. and Guven Steel
Pipe, on August 7, 2013; and Cayirova Boru Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S.,
Yucel Boru ve Profil Endustrisi A.S, Yucelboru Ihracat Ithalat ve
Pazarlama A.S., self-identified as the Yucel Group companies, on March
27, 2014.
On April 8, 2014, the Department issued a ``No Shipment Inquiry''
to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to confirm that there were
no entries of welded pipe and tube from Turkey produced and/or exported
by the aforementioned companies during the POR. CBP did not respond to
our inquiry with any indication that merchandise had entered during the
POR that was produced and/or exported by the companies referenced in
the inquiry. In addition, we obtained other documentation from CBP that
supports the conclusion that there were no such entries during the POR
for the companies in question.
Based on the certifications, CBP's lack of a positive response to
our inquiry, and analysis of the other information on the record
referenced above, we preliminarily determine the aforementioned
companies identified in the Department's inquiry to CBP had no
shipments during the POR. However, consistent with our practice, the
Department finds that it is not appropriate to rescind the review with
respect to those companies, but rather to complete the review with
respect to them, and to issue appropriate instructions to CBP based on
the final results of this review.
Preliminary Results of Review
As a result of this review, we preliminarily determine that the
weighted-average dumping margins for the period May 1, 2012, through
April 30, 2013, are as follows:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weighted-average
Producer or exporter dumping margin
(percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Borusan Mannesmann Boru Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S.\4\... 1.28
Toscelik Profil ve Sac Endustrisi A.S.\5\........... 0.00

publication of this notice, pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the
Act.
Assessment Rates
Upon completion of the administrative review, the Department
[[Page 36001]]
shall determine, and CBP shall assess, antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). We intend
to issue instructions to CBP 15 days after the date of publication of
the final results of this review.
If Borusan's or Toscelik's weighted-average dumping margins are not
zero or de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent) in the final results
of this review, we will calculate importer-specific assessment rates on
the basis of the ratio of the total amount of dumping calculated for
the importer's examined sales and the total entered value of the sales
in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). Where either a respondent's
weighted-average dumping margin is zero or de minimis, or an importer-
specific assessment rate is zero or de minimis, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash 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 Borusan and
Toscelik will be equal to the weighted-average dumping margin
established in the final results of this review, except if the rate is
de minimis within the meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1), in which case
the cash deposit rate will be zero; (2) for other manufacturers and
exporters 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
that manufacturer or exporter participated; (3) if the exporter is not
a firm covered in this review, a prior review, or the original less-
than-fair-value (LTFV) investigation, but the manufacturer is, then the
cash deposit rate will be the rate established for the most recently
completed segment of this proceeding for the manufacturer of subject
merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate for all other manufacturers
or exporters will continue to be 14.74 percent, the all-others rate
established in the LTFV investigation.\12\ These deposit requirements,
when imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notification
This notice also 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 review period. Failure to comply
with this requirement could result in the Secretary's presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping duties.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing these results in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.
Dated: June 18, 2014.
