Certain Pasta From Turkey: Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty New Shipper Review; 2013-2014
AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: In response to a request from respondent Bescedilsan Makarna Gida San. Ve Tic. A.S. (Bescedilsan), the Department of Commerce (the Department) is conducting a new shipper review of the antidumping duty order on certain pasta (pasta) from Turkey. The period of review (POR) is July 1, 2013, through January 31, 2014. We preliminarily find that Bescedilsan did not sell subject merchandise at prices below normal value (NV) during the POR. If these preliminary results are adopted in our final results of this review, we will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to liquidate entries of merchandise produced by Bescedilsan without regard to antidumping duties. We invite interested parties to comment on these preliminary results.
DATES: Effective Date: January 7, 2015.

The Department intends to issue the final results of this administrative review, including the results of its analysis of the issues raised in any written briefs, within 90 days after the date of publication of this notice, pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act.
Assessment Rates
Upon completion of this new shipper review, the Department shall determine and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. If Bescedilsan's weighted-average dumping margin is not zero or de minimis in 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 an importer's examined sales and the total entered value of such sales in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). If Bescedilsan's weighted-average dumping margin is zero or de minimis in the final results of review, or an importer-specific rate is zero or de minimis, we will instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to dumping margins.
We intend to issue instructions to CBP 15 days after publication of the final results of this review.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following deposit requirements will be effective upon publication of the notice of final results of new shipper review for all shipments of pasta from Turkey entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of publication as provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) The cash deposit rate for Bescedilsan will be the rate established in the final results of this new shipper review except if the 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 merchandise exported by manufacturers or exporters not covered in this 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 recent period in which the manufacturer or exporter participated; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this review, a prior review, or the original less-than-
fair-value investigation but the manufacturer is, the cash deposit rate will be the rate established for the most recent period for the manufacturer of the merchandise; (4) the cash deposit rate for all other manufacturers or exporters will continue to be 51.49 percent, the
Page 865
all-others rate established in the less-than-fair-value investigation.\8\ 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)(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 Department's presumption that reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of double antidumping duties.
We are issuing and publishing these results in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.214.
Dated: December 24, 2014.
