Partial Rescission of the 2014 Administrative Review

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Secretary 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

products from India with respect to Navneet and Kokuyo, which requested 
an administrative review. The Petitioners \6\ in the review did not 
request a review of any Indian company.
