SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On November 9, 2016, based on a timely request for review by the 
Magnesia Carbon Bricks Fair Trade Committee (Fair Trade Committee),\1\ 
the Department of Commerce (the Department) published in the Federal 
Register a notice of initiation of an administrative review of the CVD 
order on MC Bricks from the PRC with respect to 18 companies for the 
period of review (POR) January 1, 2015, through December 31, 2015.\2\ 
No other party requested an administrative review.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Letter to the Secretary from the Fair Trade Committee, 
``Certain Magnesia Carbon Bricks from the People's Republic of 
China: Request for Administrative Review,'' (September 30, 2016). 
The Fair Trade Committee is an ad hoc association comprised of the 
following U.S. producers of magnesia carbon bricks: Resco Products, 
Inc.; Magnesita Refractories Company; and HarbisonWalker 
International.
    \2\ See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews, 81 FR 78778 (November 9, 2016) (November 
2016 Initiation Notice); see also Initiation of Antidumping and 
Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews, 82 FR 4294 (January 13, 
2017), which corrected the misspelling of certain company names in 
the November 2016 Initiation Notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rescission of Review

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Department will rescind an 
administrative review, in whole or in part, if the party that requested 
the review withdraws its request within 90 days of the publication of 
the notice of initiation of the requested review. In this case, the 
Fair Trade Committee timely withdrew its request for review within the 
90-day deadline, and no other party requested an administrative review 
of the CVD order. Therefore, in response to the timely withdrawal of 
the request for review, and in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), we 
are rescinding the administrative review of the CVD order on MC Bricks 
from the PRC for the period January 1, 2015, through December 31, 2015, 
in its entirety.

Assessment

    The Department will instruct CBP to assess CVD duties on all 
appropriate entries. Because this administrative review is being 
rescinded in its entirety, the entries to which this administrative 
review pertain shall be assessed CVD duties that are equal to the cash 
deposits of estimated CVD duties required at the time of entry, or 
withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption, in accordance with 19 CFR 
351.212(c)(1)(i). The Department intends to issue appropriate 
assessment instructions to CBP 15 days after the publication of this 
notice in the Federal Register.

Notifications

    This notice 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). Timely 
written notification of the return or destruction of APO materials or 
the conversion to judicial protective order is hereby requested. 
Failure to comply with the regulations and the terms of an APO is a 
sanctionable violation.
    This notice is published in accordance with section 751 of the Act 
and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: May 31, 2017.
Gary Taverman,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
