Finding of No Shipments

    The record evidence in this review indicates that Tos[ccedil]elik 
Profil ve Sac End[uuml]strisi A.[Scedil]. and Tosyali Dis Ticaret A.S. 
(collectively, Tos[ccedil]elik) \8\ had no exports, sales, or entries 
of subject merchandise to the United States during the POR. 
Accordingly, we determine that Tos[ccedil]elik had no shipments during 
the POR. For additional information on our preliminary finding of no 
shipments, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. Accordingly, 
consistent with Commerce's practice, we will issue appropriate 
instructions to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) based on our 
final results.

Assessment

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.212(b)(1), Commerce will determine, and CBP shall assess, 
antidumping duties on all appropriate entries of subject merchandise in 
accordance with the

[[Page 64109]]

final results of this review. For Y[uuml]cel, we calculated importer-
specific assessment rates on the basis of the ratio of the total amount 
of antidumping duties calculated for each importer's examined sales and 
the total entered value of the sales in accordance with 19 CFR 
351.212(b)(1).\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ 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 Duty Proceedings; Final Modification, 77 FR 8101 
(February 14, 2012).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    For entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by 
Y[uuml]cel for which it did not know that the merchandise was destined 
for the United States, we will instruct CBP to liquidate un-reviewed 
entries at the all-others rate if there is no rate for the intermediate 
company(ies) involved in the transaction. For Tos[ccedil]elik, which we 
determined had no shipments of subject merchandise in this review 
period, we will instruct CBP to liquidate any applicable entries of 
subject merchandise at the all-others rate.\10\

    We intend to issue instructions to CBP 15 days after publication of 
the final results of this review.

Cash Deposit Requirements

    The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon 
publication of the notice of final results of the administrative review 
for all shipments of OCTG from Turkey entered, or withdrawn from 
warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of publication as 
provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) The cash deposit rate 
for companies subject to this review will be the rates established in 
the final results of the review; (2) for merchandise exported by 
producers or exporters not covered in this administrative review but 
covered in a prior completed segment of the proceeding, including those 
for which Commerce has determined had no shipments during the POR, 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 administrative review, a prior review, or the original 
investigation, but the producer has been covered in a prior complete 
segment of this proceeding, 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 35.86 percent,\11\ the all-others rate 
established in the less-than-fair-value investigation, adjusted for the 
export-subsidy rate established in the companion countervailing duty 
investigation. These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall 
remain in effect until further notice.

Notification to Importers

    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 antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent 
assessment of double antidumping duties.

Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Orders

    This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the destruction of proprietary information disclosed under 
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). 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 subject 
to sanction.

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: December 7, 2018.
Gary Taverman,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations, performing the non-exclusive functions and duties of the 
Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
