On June 27, 2014, in accordance with 

section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, 

as amended (the Act), the Department 

published in the Federal Register a 

notice of initiation of administrative

administrative review. In addition, on 

August 6, 2014, the petitioners 

withdrew their request for an 

administrative review for all of the

Rescission, In Part 

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

Secretary will rescind an administrative 

review, in whole or in part, if a party 

that requested the review withdraws the 

request within 90 days of the date of 

publication of the notice of initiation of 

the requested review. The petitioners’ 

and RZBC’s withdrawal of their requests 

were submitted within the 90-day 

period and, thus, are timely. Because 

the petitioners’ and RZBC’s withdrawal 

of their requests for review are timely 

and because no other party requested a 

review of these companies, in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), 

we are rescinding this administrative 

review, in part, with respect to the 

following companies: Changsha Huir,

Ensign, Wuhan Shuangfeng, Yixing 

Union, Yixing Zhenfen, and Yunnan 

Fuel. The administrative review will 

continue with respect to Laiwu Taihe. 

Assessment 

The Department will instruct U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to 

assess countervailing duties on all 

appropriate entries. For the companies 

for which this review is rescinded, 

countervailing duties shall be assessed 

at rates equal to the cash deposit of 

estimated countervailing duties required 

at the time of entry, or withdrawal from 

warehouse, for consumption, during the 

period January 1, 2013, through 

December 31, 2013, in accordance with 

19 CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i). The Department 

intends to issue appropriate assessment 

instructions to CBP 15 days after 

publication of this notice.

to parties subject to administrative 

protective order (APO) of their 

responsibility concerning the return or 

destruction of proprietary information 

disclosed under APO in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.305, which continues 

to govern business proprietary
