    \1\ See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or

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

Rescission in Part

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Secretary will rescind an 
administrative review, in whole or in part, if a party that requested 
the review withdraws the request within 90 days of the date of 
publication of the notice of initiation of the requested review. The 
Department initiated the instant review on January 7, 2016 and 
Petitioners withdrew their request on March 29, 2016, which is within 
the 90-day period and thus is timely. Because Petitioners' withdrawal 
of their requests for review is timely and because no other party 
requested a review of Flex, we are rescinding this review, in part, 
with respect to Flex, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1). No party 
to the review withdrew their request for a review of JBF. As such, the 
instant review will continue with respect to JBF.

Assessment

    The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
(CBP) to assess anti-dumping duties on all appropriate entries. Subject 
merchandise of Flex will be assessed ADs at rates equal to the cash 
deposit of estimated ADs required at the time of entry, or withdrawal 
from warehouse, for consumption, during the period November 1, 2014, 
through October 31, 2015, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i). 
The Department intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP 15 days 
after the date of publication of this notice.

Notification to Importers

    This notice serves as a reminder to importers for whom this review 
is being rescinded, as of the publication date of

[[Page 23272]]

this notice, of their responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file 
a certificate regarding the reimbursement of ADs prior to liquidation 
of the relevant entries during this review period. Failure to comply 
with this requirement could result in the Secretary's presumption that 
reimbursement of the ADs occurred and the subsequent increase in the 
amount of ADs assessed.

Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Orders

    This notice also serves as a final reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information 
disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), which 
continues to govern business proprietary information in this segment of 
the proceeding. Timely written notification of the return/destruction 
of APO materials or conversion to judicial protective order is hereby 
requested. Failure to comply with the regulations and terms of an APO 
is a violation which is subject to sanction.
    This notice is issued and published in accordance with section 
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19 
CFR 351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: April 13, 2016.
Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
