Final Results.13 This notice is published
in fulfillment of the Timken publication
requirements.
Amended Final Results
Because there is now a final court
decision, we are amending the Final
Results with respect to the dumping
margins calculated for Xinboda. Based
on the Second Remand Results, as
affirmed by the CIT, the revised
dumping margin for Xinboda, for the
period of review of November 1, 2008,
through October 31, 2009, is $0.00 per
kilogram.
Accordingly, Commerce will continue
the suspension of liquidation of the
subject merchandise pending the
expiration of the period of appeal or, if
appealed, pending a final and
conclusive court decision. In the event
the CIT’s ruling is not appealed or, if
appealed, upheld on appeal, Commerce
will instruct U.S. Customs and Border
Protection to liquidate the unliquidated
entries of subject merchandise based on
the revised dumping margin above.
Cash Deposit Requirements
Commerce will not update the cash
deposit requirements for Xinboda as it
has later-determined rates from
subsequent administrative reviews.
Notification to Interested Parties
This notice is issued and published in
accordance with section 516A(e)(1),
751(a)(1), and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act),
and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), Commerce
will determine, and U.S. Customs and
Border Protections (CBP) shall assess,
antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries of subject merchandise in
accordance with the final results of this
review. We will calculate importerspecific 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).
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 allothers 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 cash deposit
requirements will be effective upon

Notification to Importers Regarding the
Reimbursement of Duties
This notice also serves as a final
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 the POR. Failure to
comply with this requirement could
result in Commerce’s presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties
occurred and the subsequent assessment
of doubled antidumping duties.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice also serves as a reminder
to parties subject to administrative
protective orders (APO) of their
responsibility concerning the return or
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

APO is a sanctionable violation.

Commerce’s Final Determination and
the Order, Commerce calculated
weighted-average dumping margins of
6.66 percent for Tosc¸elik, 22.95 percent
for C
¸ ayirova, and 7.10 percent for all
others.3
Tosc¸elik and C
¸ ayirova (i.e., the
respondents) filed suit at the CIT to
challenge various aspects of
Commerce’s final determination. On
August 22, 2017, the CIT sustained in
part, and remanded in part, Commerce’s
Final Determination. Specifically, the
Court sustained Commerce’s date of sale
determination and granted Commerce’s
request for a voluntary remand to
further explain or reconsider the
calculation of the duty drawback
adjustments for the respondents.4 On
March 1, 2018, Commerce issued the
First Remand Redetermination, in
which it provided further explanation
regarding why Commerce limited the
duty drawback adjustments in the Final
Determination to information contained
only on import certificates (also known
as ‘‘DIIBs’’) that were closed during the
period of investigation (POI).5
After considering Commerce’s further
explanation, on October 24, 2018, the
CIT held that Commerce’s limitation of
the duty drawback adjustments to
information contained only on DIIBs
closed during the POI was not
reasonable based on the specific record
of this case (which contained verified
information on DIIBs closed after the
POI).6 The Court remanded the case and
directed Commerce to recalculate the
duty drawback adjustments for Tosc
¸elik
and C
¸ ayirova to account for one
additional DIIB for each of the
respondents.7
On December 7, 2018, Commerce
issued the Second Remand
Redetermination in accordance with the
CIT’s order.8 On remand, Commerce,
recalculated the duty drawback
adjustments for C
¸ ayirova and Tosc
¸elik
3 See Final Determination, 80 FR at 61364; Order,

Turkey.

Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), Commerce will determine,
and U.S. Customs and Border Protections (CBP) shall assess, antidumping
duties on all appropriate entries of subject merchandise in accordance
with the final results of this review. We will calculate 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).
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(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 cash deposit requirements will be effective upon
publication of the notice of final results of administrative review for
all shipments of subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of publication, as
provided by section 751(a)(2) of the Act: (1) The cash deposit rate for
the respondents noted above 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 administrative 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; (3) if the exporter is
not a firm covered in this review, a prior review, or the original
investigation, but the producer is, the cash deposit rate will be the
rate established for the most recently completed segment of this
proceeding for the producer of the subject merchandise; and (4) the
cash deposit rate for all other producers or exporters will continue to
be 11.80 percent, the all-others rate established in the
investigation.\10\ These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.

Notification to Importers Regarding the Reimbursement of Duties
This notice also serves as a final 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 the POR. Failure to comply with this
requirement could result in Commerce's presumption that reimbursement
of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of doubled
antidumping duties.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective orders (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the return or 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 the terms of an APO is a
sanctionable violation.
We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5).
Dated: February 8, 2019.
