11 and 17, 2016, POSCO and Hyundai, respectively, timely withdrew their

Rescission of Review

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.214(k)(3), expedited countervailing duty 
reviews will be conducted in accordance with the new shipper review 
regulations. Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.214(f)(1), the Department will 
rescind a new shipper review, in whole or in part, if a party that 
requested a review withdraws the request within 60 days of the date of 
publication of notice of initiation of the requested review. The date 
of publication of notice of initiation of the requested review was 
October 4, 2016, and POSCO and Hyundai each withdrew its request for 
review on October 11 and 17, 2016, respectively, within the 60-day 
deadline. No other parties requested an expedited review of the order. 
Therefore, we are rescinding the expedited review of the countervailing 
duty order on CORE from Korea covering the period January 1, 2014, 
through December 31, 2014.
