Pursuant to the Swiss-U.S. DPF the DOC and the Swiss Federal Administration will develop and seek to maintain a list of up to five arbitrators to supplement the list of arbitrators developed under the EU–U.S. DPF. The parties, including the Swiss individual who has invoked binding arbitration, will select arbitrators for the arbitration panel from the list of arbitrators developed under the EU–U.S. DPF, as supplemented by the list of arbitrators developed under the Swiss-U.S. DPF (Swiss-U.S. DPF Supplemental List of Arbitrators). To be eligible for inclusion on the Swiss-U.S. DPF Supplemental List of Arbitrators, applicants must be admitted to practice law in the United States and be experts in U.S. privacy law, with expertise in European or Swiss data protection law; and shall not be subject to any instructions from, or be affiliated with, either party, or any participating organization, or the United States, Switzerland, European Union, or any EU Member State or any other governmental authority, public authority, or enforcement authority. Arbitrators will remain on the SwissU.S. DPF Supplemental List of Arbitrators for a period of 3 years, absent exceptional circumstances or removal for cause, renewable by the DOC, with prior notification to the Swiss Federal Administration for additional 3-year terms.

The DOC has agreed with the European Commission to the adoption of arbitration rules that govern arbitration proceedings and a code of conduct for arbitrators under the EU– U.S. DPF (and similarly agreed with the UK Government as relates to arbitration proceedings under the UK Extension to the EU–U.S. DPF), and the Swiss Federal Administration to the adoption of arbitration rules that govern arbitration proceedings and a code of conduct for arbitrators under the SwissU.S. DPF. In the event that the rules VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:01 Jun 06, 2023 Jkt 259001 governing the proceedings and/or the code of conduct for arbitrators need to be changed, the DOC and the European Commission and the Swiss Federal Administration will agree to amend those rules or adopt a different set of existing, well-established U.S. arbitral procedures, and/or amend the code of conduct for arbitrators (as applicable). The DOC has selected the International Centre for Dispute Resolution (ICDR), the international division of the American Arbitration Association (AAA) (collectively ICDR– AAA) to administer arbitrations pursuant to and manage the arbitral fund identified in Annex I of the EU– U.S. DPF Principles, including as relates to the UK Extension to the EU–U.S. DPF, and Annex I of the Swiss-U.S. DPF Principles. Among other things, the ICDR–AAA facilitates arbitrator fee arrangements, including the collection and timely payment of arbitrator fees and other expenses. Affected Public: Private individuals.

No Shipment Claims Between June 12 and August 15, 2022, 11 companies timely submitted letters to Commerce certifying that they had no sales, shipments, or entries of the subject merchandise to the United States during the POR.11 However, as indicated above, because Commerce is rescinding this review for each company listed in the Initiation Notice, except Borusan, Commerce has not made a determination of no shipments for these companies. With respect to Istikbal, one of the companies which certified no shipments during the POR, we continue to find it to be part of the Borusan single entity and we find no record evidence that warrants altering this treatment.12 Therefore, because we find that Borusan had shipments during this POR, we have not made a preliminary determination of no shipments with respect to Istikbal. Preliminary Results of Review We preliminarily determine that the following weighted-average dumping margin exists for the period May 1, 2021, through April 30, 2022: 11 See Borusan’s Letter, ‘‘No Shipments Letter,’’ dated August 15, 2022, in which the following companies certified that they had no entries, exports, or sales of subject merchandise into the United States during the POR: Istikbal, Borusan Birlesik Boru Fabrikalari San ve Tic., Borusan Gemlik Boru Tesisleri A.S., Borusan Ihracat Ithalat ve Dagitim A.S., Tubeco Pipe and Steel Corporation, and Borusan Ithicat ve Dagitim A.S.

If a timely summons is filed at the U.S. Court of International Trade, the assessment instructions will direct CBP not to liquidate relevant entries until the time for parties to file a request for a statutory injunction has expired (i.e., within 90 days of publication). Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), where an examined respondent’s weighted-average dumping margin is not zero or de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent) in the final results of this review, we will calculate an importerspecific ad valorem duty assessment rate based on the ratio of the total amount of dumping calculated for the U.S. sales for a given importer to the total entered value of those sales. Where a mandatory respondent did not report entered value, we calculate the entered value in order to calculate the assessment rate. Where either the respondent’s weighted-average dumping margin is zero or de minimis within the meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1), 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. For entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by Borusan for which it did not know that its merchandise was destined for the United States, we will instruct CBP to liquidate such unreviewed entries pursuant to the reseller policy,15 i.e., the assessment rate for such entries will be equal to the all-others rate established in the investigation (i.e., 14.74 percent ad 13 See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act. 15 See Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 FR23954 (May 6, 2003). 14 See E:\FR\FM\07JNN1.SGM 07JNN1 37206 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 109 / Wednesday, June 7, 2023 / Notices valorem),16 if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction. lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 Cash Deposit Requirements The following 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, which is listed above, will be equal to this company’s weighted-average dumping margin established in the final results of this review, (except if the ad valorem 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 previously investigated companies not participating in this review, the cash deposit will continue to be the company-specific rate published for the most recently completed segment of this proceeding in which the company participated; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this review, or the underlying investigation, but the producer is, then the cash deposit rate will be the rate established for the most recently completed segment for the producer of the merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate for all other producers or exporters will continue to be 14.74 percent, the all-others rate established in the underlying investigation.17 These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice. Disclosure and Public Comment Commerce intends to disclose the calculations performed in connection with these preliminary results to interested parties within five days after the date of publication of this notice in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). Interested parties may submit case briefs no later than 30 days after the date of publication of this notice.18 Rebuttal briefs, limited to issues raised in the case briefs, may be filed not later than seven days after the time limit for filing case briefs.19 Parties who submit case briefs or rebuttal briefs in this proceeding are encouraged to submit with each argument: (1) a statement of the issue; (2) a brief summary of the argument; and (3) a table of authorities.20 Executive summaries should be limited to five pages total, including footnotes.21 Case and rebuttal briefs should be filed using ACCESS and must be served on interested parties.22 Note that Commerce has temporarily modified certain of its requirements for serving documents containing business proprietary information, until further notice.23 Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), any interested party who wishes to request a hearing must submit a written request to the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance within 30 days of publication of this notice. Hearing requests should contain: (1) the party’s name, address, and telephone number; (2) the number of participants; and (3) a list of the issues to be discussed.

All submissions to Commerce must be filed electronically using ACCESS 25 and must also be served on interested parties.26 An electronically filed document must be received successfully in its entirety by ACCESS, by 5 p.m. Eastern Time (ET) on the date that the document is due.

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 Commerce’s presumption that reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of double antidumping duties. 21 Id. 17 Id. 18 See 19 CFR 351.309(c)(1)(ii); see also 19 CFR 351.303 (for general filing requirements). 19 See 19 CFR 351.309(d)(1). 20 See 19 CFR 351.309(c)(2) and (d)(2).

No Shipment Claims

    Between June 12 and August 15, 2022, 11 companies timely submitted 
letters to Commerce certifying that they had no sales, shipments, or 
entries of the subject merchandise to the United States during the 
POR.\11\ However, as indicated above, because Commerce is rescinding 
this review for each company listed in the Initiation Notice, except 
Borusan, Commerce has not made a determination of no shipments for 
these companies.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ See Borusan's Letter, ``No Shipments Letter,'' dated August 
15, 2022, in which the following companies certified that they had 
no entries, exports, or sales of subject merchandise into the United 
States during the POR: Istikbal, Borusan Birlesik Boru Fabrikalari 
San ve Tic., Borusan Gemlik Boru Tesisleri A.S., Borusan Ihracat 
Ithalat ve Dagitim A.S., Tubeco Pipe and Steel Corporation, and 
Borusan Ithicat ve Dagitim A.S. See also Noksel [Ccedil]elik Boru 
Sanayi A.[Scedil]. (Nokse), Letter, ``Anti-Dumping Administrative 
Review (5/1/21-4/30/22),'' dated July 22, 2022, in which Noksel 
certified that it had no entries, export or sales of subject 
merchandise during the POR; and Boru Sanayi ve Ticaret A.[Scedil]'s 
(Y[uuml]cel) Letter, ``Y[uuml]cel no shipments letter,'' dated June 
12, 2022, in which it certified that Y[uuml]cel, Boru Sanayi ve 
Ticaret A.[Scedil]., Y[uuml]cel Boru ve Profil End[uuml]strisi 
A.[Scedil]., and their affiliated trading company, Y[uuml]celboru 
Ihracat Ithalat ve Pazarlama A.[Scedil]. (collectively, 
``Y[uuml]cel'') had no entries, export or sales of subject 
merchandise during the POR:.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    With respect to Istikbal, one of the companies which certified no 
shipments during the POR, we continue to find it to be part of the 
Borusan single entity and we find no record evidence that warrants 
altering this treatment.\12\ Therefore, because we find that Borusan 
had shipments during this POR, we have not made a preliminary

Assessment Rates

    Upon issuance of the final results, Commerce will determine, and 
CBP shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries covered 
by this review.\13\ The final results of this review shall be the basis 
for the assessment of antidumping duties on entries of merchandise 
covered by this review and for future deposits of estimated duties, 
where applicable.\14\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
    \14\ See section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier 
than 35 days after the date of publication of the final results of this 
review in the Federal Register. If a timely summons is filed at the 
U.S. Court of International Trade, the assessment instructions will 
direct CBP not to liquidate relevant entries until the time for parties 
to file a request for a statutory injunction has expired (i.e., within 
90 days of publication).
    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), where an examined respondent's 
weighted-average dumping margin is not zero or de minimis (i.e., less 
than 0.5 percent) in the final results of this review, we will 
calculate an importer-specific ad valorem duty assessment rate based on 
the ratio of the total amount of dumping calculated for the U.S. sales 
for a given importer to the total entered value of those sales. Where a 
mandatory respondent did not report entered value, we calculate the 
entered value in order to calculate the assessment rate. Where either 
the respondent's weighted-average dumping margin is zero or de minimis 
within the meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1), 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.
    For entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by 
Borusan for which it did not know that its merchandise was destined for 
the United States, we will instruct CBP to liquidate such unreviewed 
entries pursuant to the reseller policy,\15\ i.e., the assessment rate 
for such entries will be equal to the all-others rate established in 
the investigation (i.e., 14.74 percent ad

valorem),\16\ if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies) 
involved in the transaction.

Cash Deposit Requirements

    The following 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, which 
is listed above, will be equal to this company's weighted-average 
dumping margin established in the final results of this review, (except 
if the ad valorem 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 previously investigated companies not participating in this review, 
the cash deposit will continue to be the company-specific rate 
published for the most recently completed segment of this proceeding in 
which the company participated; (3) if the exporter is not a firm 
covered in this review, or the underlying investigation, but the 
producer is, then the cash deposit rate will be the rate established 
for the most recently completed segment for the producer of the 
merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate for all other producers or 
exporters will continue to be 14.74 percent, the all-others rate 
established in the underlying investigation.\17\

    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 Commerce'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, and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4).

    Dated: May 31, 2023.
