**Methodology**
Commerce is conducting this review in accordance with section 751 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). Export price and constructed export price are calculated in accordance with section 772 of the Act. NV is calculated in accordance with section 773 of the Act. For a full description of the methodology underlying these preliminary results, *see* the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
**Preliminary Results of Review**
We preliminarily determine that the following weighted-average dumping margin exists for the period May 1, 2023, through April 30, 2024:
| Exporter or producer | Estimated weighted-average |
| --- | --- |
| Borusan Mannesmann Boru Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S., Birlesik Boru Fabrikalari Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S., Borusan Istikbal Ticaret T.A.S | 9.31 |
**Disclosure**
[^8] In prior segments of this proceeding, we treated Borusan Birlesik Boru Fabrikalari ve Ticaret A.S. and Borusan Istikbal Ticaret T.A.S. as a single entity. *See, e.g., Welded Carbon Steel Standard Pipe and Tube Products from Turkey: Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review and Final Determination of No Shipments; 2013-2014,* 80 FR 76674 (December 10, 2015). We determine that there is no evidence on the record of this review for altering our treatment of Borusan Birlesik Boru Fabrikalari Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S. and Borusan Istikbal Ticaret T.A.S. as a single entity. Further, Commerce conducted a changed circumstances review and determined that Borusan Birlesik Boru Fabrikalari Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S. is the successor-in-interest to Borusan Mannesmann Boru Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S. in the context of the AD order on CWP from Türkiye. *See Circular Welded Carbon Steel Standard Pipe and Tube Products from the Republic of Türkiye; Welded Line Pipe from the Republic of Türkiye; Certain Oil Tubular Goods from the Republic of Türkiye; and Large Diameter Welded Pipe from the Republic of Türkiye: Final Results of Antidumping Duty Changed Circumstances Reviews,* 89 FR 96211 (December 4, 2024).
Commerce intends to disclose its calculations and analysis performed to interested parties under administrative protective order for these preliminary results within five days of any public announcement or, if there is no public announcement, within five days of the date of publication of this notice in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.309(c)(1)(ii), we have modified the deadline for interested parties to submit case briefs to Commerce to no later than 21 days after the date of the publication of this notice.

[^10] Parties who submit case briefs or rebuttal briefs in this proceeding are encouraged to submit with each argument: (1) a statement of the issue; and (2) a table of authorities. [^11] All briefs must be filed electronically using ACCESS. An electronically filed document must be received successfully in its entirety in ACCESS by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the established deadline.
[^9]*See* 19 CFR 351.309.
[^10]*See* 19 CFR 351.309(d); *see also Administrative Protective Order, Service, and Other Procedures in Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Proceedings,* 88 FR 67069, 67077 (September 29, 2023) ( *APO and Service Final Rule* ).
[^11]*See* 19 CFR 351.309(c)(2) and (d)(2).
As provided under 19 CFR 351.309(c)(2) and (d)(2), in prior proceedings we have encouraged interested parties to provide an executive summary of their brief that should be limited to five pages total, including footnotes. In this review, we instead request that interested parties provide at the beginning of their briefs a public executive summary for each issue raised in their briefs. [^12] Further, we request that interested parties limit their public executive summary of each issue to no more than 450 words, not including citations. We intend to use the public executive summaries as the basis of the comment summaries included in the issues and decision memorandum that will accompany the final determination in this review.

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. Issues raised in the hearing will be limited to those raised in the respective case briefs. An electronically filed hearing request must be received successfully in its entirety by Commerce's electronic records system, ACCESS, within 30 days after the date of publication of this notice.
**Assessment of Antidumping Duties**
Upon completion of the final results, Commerce shall determine, and the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries covered by this review. [^14] If a 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 intend to calculate an importer-specific assessment rate based on the ratio of the total amount of dumping calculated for each importer's examined sales and the total entered value of those same sales in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). [^15] If the respondent's weighted-average dumping margin or an importer-specific assessment rate is zero or *de minimis* in the final results of this review, we intend to instruct CBP not to assess antidumping duties on any of that importer's entries in accordance with the *Final Modification for Reviews* . [^16] The final results of this administrative review shall be the basis for the assessment of antidumping duties on entries of merchandise covered by the final results of this review and for future deposits of estimated duties, where applicable. [^17]
[^14]*See* 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
[^15] In these preliminary 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) ( *Final Modification for Reviews* ).
[^16]*See Final Modification for Reviews,* 77 FR at 8103; *see also* 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2).
[^17]*See* section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act.
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 suspended entries pursuant to the reseller policy, [^18]*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* ), [^19] if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction.
[^18]*See Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties,* 68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).
[^19]*See Order,* 51 FR at 17784.
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).
**Cash Deposit Requirements**
The following cash deposit requirements for estimated antidumping duties will be effective upon publication in the *Federal Register* of the notice of final results of this review for all shipments of CWP from Türkiye 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 subject merchandise exported by Borusan 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 subject merchandise exported by 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 a previous segment of this proceeding, but the producer is, then the cash deposit rate will be the company-specific rate established for the most recently completed segment for the producer of the merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate for all other producers and exporters will continue to be 14.74 percent, the all-others rate established in the underlying investigation. [^20] These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice.
[^20]*Id.*
**Final Results of Review**
Unless otherwise extended, Commerce intends to issue the final results of this administrative review, including the results of its analysis of issues raised in any written briefs, no later than 120 days after the date of publication of this notice, pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(1).
**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 POR. 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, and/or an increase in the amount of antidumping duties by the amount of countervailing duties.
**Notification to Interested Parties**
These preliminary results and notice are issued and published in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4), 19 CFR 351.213(h), and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4).
