On December 12, 2005, the Department published in the Federal

administrative review of the antidumping duty order on welded pipe and
tube from Turkey. We received timely allegations of ministerial errors
from Borusan and Cayirova. In its comments dated December 9, 2005,
Borusan alleged that the Department erred in that it did not include
certain U.S. sales in the margin program. In its comments dated
December 12, 2005, Cayirova alleged that the Department erred in the
revised credit calculation in the home market (CREDITH). Petitioner did
not comment on the ministerial errors alleged by respondents.\2\ We
agree with respondents that these errors are ministerial errors and
have amended the final results to correct the errors referenced herein.
For a full explanation of changes made by the Department, please see

Assistant Secretary for Import Administration, Ministerial Error

------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Department shall determine, and the U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (``CBP'') shall assess, antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries. In accordance with section 351.212(b)(1) of the
Department's regulations, we have calculated importer-specific
assessment rates by dividing the dumping margin found on the subject
merchandise examined by the entered value of such merchandise. Where
the importer-specific assessment rate is above de minimis, we will
instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties on that importer's entries of
subject merchandise. The Department will issue appropriate assessment
instructions directly to CBP within 15 days of publication of these
amended final results of review.
Furthermore, 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for all shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from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 these
amended final results of administrative review, as provided by section
751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the Act''): (1) For the
companies named above, the cash deposit rate will be the rate listed
above; (2) for merchandise exported by manufacturers or exporters not
covered in this review but covered in a previous segment of this
proceeding, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the company-
specific rate published in the most recent final results in which that
manufacturer or exporter participated; (3) if the exporter is not a
firm covered in this review or in any previous segment of this
proceeding, but the manufacturer is, the cash deposit rate will be that
established for the manufacturer of the merchandise in these final
results of review or in the most recent segment of the proceeding in
which that manufacturer participated; and (4) if neither the exporter
nor the manufacturer is a firm covered in this review or in any
previous segment of this proceeding, the cash deposit rate will be
14.74 percent, the ``All-others'' rate established in the less-than-
fair-value investigation. These deposit requirements shall remain in
effect until publication of the final results of the next
administrative review.
We are issuing and publishing this determination and notice in
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.
Dated: January 18, 2006.

Assistant Secretaryfor Import Administration.
