Partial Rescission of the 2014 Administrative Review

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Secretary will rescind an 
administrative review, in whole or in part, if the parties that 
requested a review withdraw the request within 90 days of the date of 
publication of the notice of initiation. The Department published the 
Initiation Notice for this administrative review on January 7, 2016. 
Petitioner timely withdrew its request for a review of Ege Celik, 
Ekinciler Demir, Mettech, Asil Celik, Duferco Celik, and DufEnergy 
within the 90-day period. No other party requested an administrative 
review of these particular companies. Therefore, in accordance with 19 
CFR 351.213(d)(1), and consistent with our practice,\9\ we are 
rescinding this review of the CVD order on rebar from Turkey with 
respect to Ege Celik, Ekinciler Demir, Mettech, Asil Celik, Duferco 
Celik, and DufEnergy. The administrative review will continue with 
respect to all other firms for which a review was requested and
