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 
a review withdraws its request within 90 days of the date of 
publication of the notice of initiation of the requested review. In 
this case, the petitioner timely withdrew its request for review within 
the 90-day deadline, and no other party requested an administrative

2016, through December 31, 2016, in its entirety.
