for consumption on or after the
publication date of this notice, as
provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the
Act: (1) For the exporters listed above,
the cash deposit rate will be equal to the
weighted-average dumping margin
established in the final results of this
review (except, if the rate is de minimis
(i.e., less than 0.5 percent), then the cash
deposit rate will be zero for that
exporter), adjusted, where appropriate,
for export subsidies and domestic
subsidies passed through; (2) for
previously investigated or reviewed PRC
and non-PRC exporters not listed above
that have separate rates, the cash
deposit rate will continue to be the
exporter-specific rate published for the
most recently completed segment of this
proceeding; (3) for all PRC exporters of
subject merchandise which have not
been found to be entitled to a separate
rate, the cash deposit rate will be the
rate for the PRC-wide entity (i.e., 76.46
percent) 19 and (4) for all non-PRC
exporters of subject merchandise that
have not received their own rate, the
cash deposit rate will be the rate
applicable to the PRC exporter that
supplied that non-PRC exporter. These
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)(2) to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement of
antidumping duties and/or
countervailing 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
and/or countervailing duties has
occurred, and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping
duties and/or an increase in the amount
of antidumping duties by the amount of
the countervailing duties.

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 weightedaverage dumping margin is above de
minimis in the final results of this
review, we will calculate an importerspecific 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 weightedaverage 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

order on passenger tires from the PRC.1
Several interested parties requested that
the Department conduct an
administrative review of the
countervailing duty order, and on
October 14, 2016, the Department
published in the Federal Register a
notice of initiation of an administrative
review of the CVD Order for 61
producers/exporters for the POR.2
Scope of the Order
The products covered by the order are
certain passenger vehicle and light truck
tires from the PRC. A full description of
the scope of the order is contained in
the Preliminary Decision
Memorandum.3
Methodology
The Department is conducting this
CVD review in accordance with section
751(a)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (the Act). For each of the
subsidy programs found
countervailable, we determine that there
is a subsidy, i.e., a financial
contribution by an ‘‘authority’’ that
confers a benefit to the recipient, and
that the subsidy is specific.4 For a full
description of the methodology
underlying our preliminary conclusions,
including our reliance, in part, on
adverse facts available pursuant to
sections 776(a) and (b) of the Act, see

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Producer/exporter Weighted-average margin
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Toscelik Single Entity.................... 0.00 percent
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Disclosure
We intend to disclose the calculations performed to parties within
five days after public announcement of the preliminary results.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ See 19 CFR 351.224(b).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\7\ See 19 CFR 351.310(c).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\8\ In these preliminary results, the Department applied the
assessment rate calculation method adopted in Antidumping
Proceedings: Calculation of the Weighted-Average Dumping Margin and
Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping Duty Proceedings; Final
Modification, 77 FR 8101 (February 14, 2012) (Final Modification for
Reviews).
\9\ See Final Modification for Reviews, 77 FR at 8102.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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
[[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

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).
