SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On September 1, 2015, the Department published in the Federal 
Register a notice of opportunity to request administrative review of 
the antidumping duty order on certain magnesia carbon bricks from 
Mexico for the POR.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or 
Suspended Investigation; Opportunity To Request Administrative 
Review, 80 FR 52741 (September 1, 2015).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On September 30, 2015, in accordance with section 751(a) of the 
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 351.213(b), the 
Department received a timely request from the Magnesia Carbon Bricks 
Fair Trade Committee (the Committee) \2\ to conduct an administrative 
review of the POR sales of RHI-Refmex S.A. de C.V., Trafinsa S.A. de 
C.V., Vesuvius Mexico S.A. de C.V., and Ferro Alliages & Mineraux Inc. 
On November 9, 2015, the Department published in the Federal Register a 
notice of initiation of an administrative review of the antidumping 
duty order on certain magnesia carbon bricks from Mexico with respect 
to these companies.\3\ On January 19, 2016, the Committee timely 
withdrew all its requests for review.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ The Committee is an ad hoc association comprised of the 
following three U.S. producers of magnesia carbon bricks: Resco 
Products, Inc.; Magnesita Refractories Company; and Harbison Walker 
International, Inc. See September 30, 2015, Letter regarding Certain 
Magnesia Carbon Bricks From Mexico: Request For Administrative 
Review.
    \3\ See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews, 80 FR 69193, 69195 (November 9, 2015).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rescission of Administrative Review

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Department 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 
Committee withdrew its request for review before the 90-day deadline, 
and no other party requested an administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on certain magnesia carbon bricks from Mexico 
for the POR. Therefore, in response to the timely withdrawal of the 
request for review and pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Department 
is rescinding this review in its entirety.

Assessment

    The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
(CBP) to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. 
Antidumping duties 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). The Department 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 could result in the Secretary's presumption that 
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent 
assessment of double antidumping duties.

Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Order

    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 section 777(i)(1) of 
the Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: February 3, 2016.
Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
