In Borusan Boru’s CCR Request, Borusan Boru also requested that Commerce conduct a CCR to determine if Borusan Mannesmann Pipe U.S. is the successor-in-interest to Borusan Pipe U.S. Inc.

The information submitted by Borusan Boru regarding its claim that it is the successor-in-interest to BMB demonstrates changed circumstances sufficient to warrant the initiation of such reviews.5 Therefore, in accordance with section 751(b)(1)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.216(d) and (e), we are initiating these CCRs. In making a successor-in-interest determination, Commerce examines several factors, including, but not limited to, changes in the following: (1) management; (2) production facilities; (3) supplier relationships; and (4) customer base.6 While no single factor or combination of factors will necessarily provide a dispositive indication of a successor-in-interest relationship, generally, Commerce will consider the new company to be the successor to the previous company if the new company’s resulting operation is not materially dissimilar to that of its predecessor.7 Thus, if the record evidence demonstrates that, with respect to the production and sale of the subject merchandise, the new company operates as the same business entity as the predecessor company, Commerce may assign the new company the cash deposit rate of its predecessor.8 4 See Standard Pipe AD Order, 51 FR at 17784; Standard Pipe CVD Order, 51 FR at 7984; Welded Line Pipe AD Order, 80 FR at 75056–57; Welded Line Pipe CVD Order, 80 FR at 75054; OCTG AD Order, 79 FR at 53691–92; OCTG CVD Order, 79 FR at 53689; LDWP AD Order, 84 FR at 18801; and LDWP CVD Order, 84 FR at 18773. 5 See Borusan Boru’s CCR Request. 6 See, e.g., Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp from India: Initiation and Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Changed Circumstances Review, 81 FR 75376 (October 31, 2016) (Shrimp from India Preliminary Results), unchanged in Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp from India: Notice of Final Results of Antidumping Duty Changed Circumstances Review, 81 FR 90774 (December 15, 2016) (Shrimp from India Final Results). 7 See, e.g., Shrimp from India Preliminary Results, 81 FR at 75377, unchanged in Shrimp from India Final Results, 81 FR at 90774. 8 Id.; see also Notice of Final Results of Changed Circumstances Antidumping Duty Administrative Review: Polychloroprene Rubber from Japan, 67 FR 58, 59 (January 2, 2002); Ball Bearings and Parts Thereof from France: Final Results of ChangedCircumstances Review, 75 FR 34688, 34689 (June PO 00000 Frm 00014 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 14053 Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.221(c)(3)(ii), Commerce may combine the notices of initiation and preliminary results of a CCR into a single notice if it concludes that expedited action is warranted.

Scope of the Orders

    The merchandise covered by these orders is standard pipe, WLP, 
OCTG, and LDWP from Turkey. For a complete description of the scope of 
each of these orders, see Standard Pipe AD Order; Standard Pipe CVD 
Order; Welded Line Pipe AD Order; Welded Line Pipe CVD Order; OCTG AD 
Order; OCTG CVD Order; LDWP AD Order; and LDWP CVD Order.\4\

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Initiation of CCRs

    Pursuant to section 751(b)(1)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.216(d), 
Commerce conducts a CCR upon receipt of information concerning, or a 
request from, an interested party for a review of an AD or CVD order 
which shows changed circumstances sufficient to warrant a review of the 
order. The information submitted by Borusan Boru regarding its claim 
that it is the successor-in-interest to BMB demonstrates changed 
circumstances sufficient to warrant the initiation of such reviews.\5\ 
Therefore, in accordance with section 751(b)(1)(A) of the Act and 19 
CFR 351.216(d) and (e), we are initiating these CCRs.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See Borusan Boru's CCR Request.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In making a successor-in-interest determination, Commerce examines 
several factors, including, but not limited to, changes in the 
following: (1) management; (2) production facilities; (3) supplier 
relationships; and (4) customer base.\6\ While no single factor or 
combination of factors will necessarily provide a dispositive 
indication of a successor-in-interest relationship, generally, Commerce 
will consider the new company to be the successor to the previous 
company if the new company's resulting operation is not materially 
dissimilar to that of its predecessor.\7\ Thus, if the record evidence 
demonstrates that, with respect to the production and sale of the 
subject merchandise, the new company operates as the same business 
entity as the predecessor company, Commerce may assign the new company 
the cash deposit rate of its predecessor.\8\

Commerce found that a company which only changed its name and did 
not change its operations is a successor-in-interest to the company 
before it changed its name.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.221(c)(3)(ii), Commerce may combine the 
notices of initiation and preliminary results of a CCR into a single 
notice if it concludes that expedited action is warranted. We have 
determined that it is appropriate to further consider, and potentially 
seek additional information regarding, certain factors noted above that 
Commerce examines in a successor-in-interest determination. Therefore, 
we find that expedited action is not warranted. Commerce intends to 
make its preliminary determinations and to publish in the Federal 
Register a notice of the preliminary results of these CCRs, in 
accordance with 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4) and (c)(3)(i), which will set 
forth Commerce's preliminary factual and legal conclusions. Pursuant to 
19 CFR 351.221(b)(4)(ii), interested parties will have an opportunity 
to comment on the preliminary results.
    Unless extended, Commerce intends to issue the final results of 
this CCR within 270 days after the date of initiation, in accordance 
with 19 CFR 351.216(e).

Notification to Interested Parties

    We are issuing this notice in accordance with sections 751(b)(1) 
and 777(i) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.216(b) and 351.221(b)(1).
