SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On September 1, 2016, Commerce published in the Federal Register a 
notice of opportunity to request an administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on certain magnesia carbon bricks from Mexico 
for the POR.\1\ Commerce received a timely request from the Magnesia 
Carbon Bricks Fair Trade Committee (the petitioner), in accordance with 
section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), and 19 
CFR 351.213(b), to conduct an administrative review of this antidumping 
duty order.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or 
Suspended Investigation; Opportunity To Request Administrative 
Review, 82 FR 41595 (September 1, 2017).
    \2\ See Letter from the petitioner, regarding ``Certain Magnesia 
Carbon Bricks from Mexico: Request For Administrative Review,''

notice of initiation with respect to RHI-Refmex SA de C.V. and Vesuvius

companies.\4\

Administrative Reviews, 82 FR 52268, 52270 (November 13, 2017).
    \4\ See Letter from the petitioner, regarding ``Certain Magnesia 
Carbon Bricks from Mexico: Withdrawal of Request For Administrative 
Review,'' dated January 29, 2018.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rescission of Administrative Review

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), Commerce 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 of the requested review. The 
petitioner withdrew its request for review by the 90-day deadline, and 
no other party requested an administrative review of this order. 
Therefore, we are rescinding the administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on certain magnesia carbon bricks from Mexico 
covering the period September 1, 2016, through August 31, 2017.

Assessment

    Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to 
assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. Because Commerce 
is rescinding this administrative review in its entirety, the entries 
to which this administrative review pertained shall be assessed at 
rates equal to the cash deposit of estimated antidumping duties 
required at the time of entry, or withdrawal from warehouse, for 
consumption, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i). Commerce 
intends to issue appropriate assessment instructions directly to CBP 41 
days after the date of publication of this notice in the Federal 
Register.

Notification to Importers

    This notice serves as the only reminder to importers of their 
responsibility, under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2), to file a certificate 
regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation 
of the relevant entries during this review period. Failure to comply 
with this requirement may result in the presumption that reimbursement 
of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of double 
antidumping duties.

Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Orders

    This notice serves as the only reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the disposition 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 
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 sections 751(a)(1) and 
777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: February 9, 2018.
James Maeder,
Associate Deputy Assistant Secretary, for Antidumping and 
Countervailing Duty Operations performing the duties of Deputy 
Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Operations.
