withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after the publication
date of the final results of this
administrative review, as provided by
section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) The
cash deposit rate for JBL Canada will be
the rate established in the final results
of this review, except if the rate is de
minimis within the meaning of 19 CFR
351.106(c)(1) (i.e., less than 0.50
percent), in which case the cash deposit
rate will be zero; (2) for previously
reviewed or investigated companies not
participating in this review, the cash
deposit rate will continue to be the
company-specific rate published for the
most recent period; (3) if the exporter is
not a firm covered in this review, a prior
review, or the original investigation, but
the manufacturer is, the cash deposit
rate will be the rate established for the
most recent period for the manufacturer
of the merchandise; and (4) the cash
deposit rate for all other manufacturers
or exporters will continue to be 23.21
percent, the all-others rate established
in the less-than-fair-value
investigation.9 These requirements,
when imposed, shall remain in effect
until further notice.
Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as a
preliminary reminder to importers of
their responsibility under 19 CFR

notice of continuation of the
antidumping duty orders and the
countervailing duty order.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On August 3, 2015 the Department
published a notice of initiation of the
first sunset review of the AD orders on
MCBs from Mexico and the PRC, and
the CVD order on MCBs from the PRC,
pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff
Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘the Act’’).1
As a result of its review, the Department
determined that revocation of the AD
orders would likely lead to a
continuation or recurrence of dumping
and that revocation of the CVD order
would likely lead to continuation or
recurrence of countervailable subsidies.
The Department, therefore, notified the
ITC of the magnitude of the margins and
net countervailable subsidy rates likely
to prevail should the antidumping
orders and the countervailing duty order
be revoked.2 On February 2, 2016, the
ITC published notice of its
determination, pursuant to section
751(c) of the Act, that revocation of the
AD and CVD orders on MCBs from
Mexico and the PRC would likely lead
to a continuation or recurrence of
material injury to an industry in the
United States within a reasonably
foreseeable time.3
Scope of the Orders
Imports covered by the orders consist
of certain chemically bonded (resin or
pitch), MCBs with a magnesia

component of at least 70 percent
magnesia (‘‘MgO’’) by weight, regardless
of the source of raw materials for the
MgO, with carbon levels ranging from
trace amounts to 30 percent by weight,
regardless of enhancements, (for
example, MCBs can be enhanced with
coating, grinding, tar impregnation or
coking, high temperature heat
treatments, anti-slip treatments or metal
casing) and regardless of whether or not
anti-oxidants are present (for example,
antioxidants can be added to the mix
from trace amounts to 15 percent by
weight as various metals, metal alloys,
and metal carbides).
Certain MCBs that are the subject of
this investigation are currently
classifiable under subheadings
6902.10.1000, 6902.10.5000,
6815.91.0000, 6815.99.2000, and
6815.99.4000 of the Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States
(‘‘HTSUS’’). While HTSUS subheadings
are provided for convenience and
customs purposes, the written
description is dispositive.
Continuation of the Orders
As a result of the determinations by
the Department and the ITC that
revocation of the AD and CVD orders
would likely lead to a continuation or
recurrence of dumping and
countervailable subsidies and material
injury to an industry in the United
States, pursuant to section 751(d)(2) of
the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(a), the
Department hereby orders the
continuation of the AD orders on MCBs
from Mexico and the PRC and the CVD
order on MCBs from the PRC. U.S.
Customs and Border Protection will
continue to collect AD and CVD duty
cash deposits at the rates in effect at the
time of entry for all imports of subject
merchandise.
The effective date of the continuation
of the orders will be the date of
publication in the Federal Register of
this notice of continuation. Pursuant to
section 751(c)(2) of the Act, the
Department intends to initiate the next
five-year review of the orders not later
than 30 days prior to the fifth
anniversary of the effective date of
continuation.
This five-year (‘‘sunset’’) review and
this notice are in accordance with
section 751(c) of the Act and published
pursuant to section 777(i)(1) of the Act
and 19 CFR 351.218(f)(4)

Assessment Rates
Upon completion of the administrative review, the Department shall
determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess,
antidumping duties on all appropriate entries covered by this
review.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\7\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
We calculated importer-specific ad valorem duty assessment rates
based on the ratio of the total amount of antidumping duties calculated
for the examined sales to the total entered value of the examined sales
to that importer. We will instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties on
all appropriate entries covered by this review when the importer-
specific assessment rate calculated in the final results of this review
is above de minimis. Where either the respondent's weighted-average
dumping margin is zero or de minimis, or the importer-specific
assessment rate is zero or de minimis, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to antidumping
duties.\8\

Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping
Duty Proceedings; Final Modification, 77 FR 8101, 8103 (February 14,
2012); see also 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
We intend to issue instructions to CBP 41 days after the date of
publication of the final results of this review.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following deposit requirements will be effective for all
shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date of the
final results of this administrative review, as provided by section
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) The cash deposit rate for JBL Canada will
be the rate established in the final results of this review, except if
the rate is de minimis within the meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1)
(i.e., less than 0.50 percent), in which case the cash deposit rate
will be zero; (2) for previously reviewed or investigated companies not
participating in this review, the cash deposit rate will continue to be
the company-specific rate published for the most recent period; (3) if
the exporter is not a firm covered in this review, a prior review, or
the original investigation, but the manufacturer is, the cash deposit
rate will be the rate established for the most recent period for the
manufacturer of the merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate for all
other manufacturers or exporters will continue to be 23.21 percent, the
all-others rate established in the less-than-fair-value
investigation.\9\ These requirements, when imposed, shall remain in
effect until further notice.

Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as a preliminary 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
[[Page 7502]]
this requirement could result in the Secretary's presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping duties.
We are issuing and publishing these results in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4).
Dated: February 5, 2016.
Paul Piquado,
Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
