For the rate for non-selected
respondents in an administrative
review, generally, the Department looks
to section 735(c)(5) of the Act, which
provides instructions for calculating the
all-others rate in a market economy
investigation. 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
weighted-average 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}.’’ With two
respondents, we normally calculate (A)
a weighted-average of the dumping
margins calculated for the mandatory
respondents; (B) a simple average of the
dumping margins calculated for the
mandatory respondents; and (C) a
weighted-average of the dumping
margins calculated for the mandatory
respondents using each company’s
publicly-ranged values for the
merchandise under consideration. We
compare (B) and (C) to (A) and select the
rate closest to (A) as the most
appropriate rate for all other
companies.3 Accordingly, we have
applied a rate of 4.87 percent to the nonselected companies, as set forth in the
chart above.4
Assessment Rates

after the date of publication of the final
results of 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).5 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 unreviewed entries at the
all-others rate if there is no rate for the
intermediate company involved in the
transaction.6 We will instruct CBP to
assess antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries covered by this
review when the importer-specific
assessment rate calculated in the final
results of this review is above de
minimis. Where either the 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.
The final results of this review shall
be the basis for the assessment of
antidumping duties on entries of
merchandise covered by the final results
of this review and for future deposits of
estimated duties, where applicable.
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 LWRPT from Turkey
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the date of
publication of the final results of this
administrative review, as provided for
by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1)
The cash deposit rate for the companies
under review will be equal to the
weighted-average dumping margin
established in the final results of this
review (except, if the rate is zero or de
minimis, no cash deposit will be
required); (2) for merchandise exported

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.

consideration. We compare (B) and (C) to (A) and select the rate
closest to (A) as the most appropriate rate for all other companies.\3\

companies, as set forth in the chart above.\4\

Upon completion of the administrative review, the Department shall
determine, and CBP shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries. The Department intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP
15 days after the date of publication of the final results of 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).\5\ 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 unreviewed entries at the all-others rate if
there is no rate for the intermediate company involved in the
transaction.\6\ We will instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties on
all appropriate entries covered by this review when the importer-
specific assessment rate calculated in the final results of this review
is above de minimis. Where either the 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ In these preliminary results, the Department applied the
assessment rate calculation methodology 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).
\6\ See Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Proceedings:
Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The final results of this review shall be the basis for the
assessment of antidumping duties on entries of merchandise covered by
the final results of this review and for future deposits of estimated
duties, where applicable.
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 LWRPT from Turkey entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of publication of the
final results of this administrative review, as provided for by section
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) The cash deposit rate for the companies
under review will be equal to the weighted-average dumping margin
established in the final results of this review (except, if the rate is
zero or de minimis, no cash deposit will be required); (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 manufacturer is, the cash deposit rate
will be the rate established for 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.\7\ These cash
deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until
further notice.

Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as a preliminary reminder to importers of
their responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f) 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.
These preliminary results of administrative review are issued and
published in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(1).
Dated: May 31, 2017.
