Background On June 2, 2014, the Department published the 
                        *Preliminary Results.*
                         The Department preliminarily determined to apply adverse facts available (AFA) to the sole mandatory respondent, Fengchi Imp. and Exp. Co., Ltd. of Haicheng City and Fengchi Refractories Co., of Haicheng City (collectively, Fengchi), and the Government of the PRC (GOC), because these parties failed to cooperate to the best of their ability in this review.[2]
                        
                         The Department also stated its preliminary intent to rescind the review for the following companies that timely certified that they had no shipments of subject merchandise to the United States during the POR: RHI AG and its affiliates Liaoning RHI Jinding Magnesia Co.; RHI Refractories (Dalian) Co. Ltd.; RHI Refractories Liaoning Co., Ltd.; RHI Trading Shanghai Branch; and RHI Trading (Dalian) Co., Ltd. (collectively, the RHI companies).[3]
                        
                         The Department invited interested parties to comment on the 
                        *Preliminary Results.* On July 9, 2014, the Department received a timely filed joint case brief from Resco Products, Inc. (Petitioner) and a domestic producer of MCBs, Magnesita Refractories Company (Magnesita).[4]
                        
                         No other party filed an administrative case or rebuttal brief. Scope of the Order The scope of the order includes certain MCBs. Certain MCBs that are the subject of this order are currently classifiable under the following subheadings of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS): 6902.10.1000, 6902.10.5000, 66815.91.0000, 6815.99.2000, and 6815.99.4000. Although the HTSUS numbers are provided for convenience and customs purposes, the written product description remains dispositive. A full description of the scope of the order is contained in the memorandum from Christian Marsh, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Operations, to Paul Piquado, Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance, “Issues and Decision Memorandum for Certain Magnesia Carbon Bricks from the People's Republic of China: Final Results of the 2012 Administrative Review” (Issues and Decision Memorandum), which is dated concurrently with and hereby adopted by this notice.

Methodology The Department conducted this review in accordance with section 751(a)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). For a full description of the methodology underlying our conclusions, including our decision to apply facts otherwise available with an adverse inference to Fengchi and the PRC, 
                        *see*
                         the Issues and Decision Memorandum. With respect to the companies for which we initiated reviews and that did not file a no-shipments certification,[5]
                        
                         consistent with the 
                        *Preliminary Results,*
                         we assigned to entries made by these companies the all-others rate from the investigation.[6] Analysis of Comments Received All issues raised in the case brief filed are addressed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum. A list of the issues raised is attached to this notice at Appendix I. Final Rescission, in Part, of the Administrative Review In the 
                        *Preliminary Results,*
                         we stated that a final decision regarding whether to rescind this review with respect to the RHI companies would be made in the final results of this review.[7]
                        
                         We continue to find no evidence on the record indicating that the RHI companies had sales of subject merchandise to the United States during the POR. Accordingly, and pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), the Department is rescinding this review with respect to the RHI companies for these final results.

                        **Federal Register**
                        . The Department will instruct CBP to assess countervailing duties on POR entries in the amounts shown above.

                        **Federal Register**
                        . For all non-reviewed firms, we will instruct CBP to continue to collect cash deposits of estimated countervailing duties at the all others rate established in the investigation. Accordingly, the cash deposit rates that will be applied to companies covered by the order, but not examined in this review, are those established in the most recently completed segment of the proceeding for each company. These cash deposit rates shall apply to all non-reviewed companies until a review of a company assigned these rates is requested and completed. These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice. Administrative Protective Order This notice serves as a 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 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. These final results are issued and published in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act.
