30, 2015.\1\ On March 21, 2016, Anji DaSol timely withdrew its request

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Rescission of New Shipper Review

    On February 3, 2016, the Department initiated a new shipper review 
for Anji DaSol, and on March 21, 2016, Anji DaSol withdrew its new 
shipper review request. Section 351.214(f)(1) of the Department's 
regulations provides that the Department may rescind a new shipper 
review if the party that requested the review withdraws its request for 
review no later than 60 days after the date of publication of the 
notice of initiation of the requested review. Given that Anji DaSol 
timely withdrew its request for a new shipper review, the Department is 
rescinding the new shipper review of the antidumping duty order on 
solar cells from the PRC with respect to Anji DaSol. Consequently, Anji 
DaSol will remain part of the PRC-wide entity.

Assessment

    Because we are rescinding the new shipper review of Anji DaSol, we 
are not making a determination as to whether Anji DaSol qualifies for a 
separate rate. Therefore, Anji DaSol remains part of the PRC-wide 
entity and any entries covered by this new shipper review will be 
assessed at the PRC-wide rate. The PRC-wide entity is not under review 
in the ongoing administrative review covering the 2014-2015 period of 
review, and therefore, Anji DaSol is not under review in the concurrent 
administrative review.\3\ Accordingly, the Department intends to issue 
liquidation instructions for any entries by Anji DaSol 15 days after 
publication of this rescission notice.

Administrative Reviews, 81 FR 6832 (February 9, 2016).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cash Deposit

    Effective upon publication of the rescission of the new shipper 
review of Anji DaSol, the Department will instruct U.S. Customs and 
Border Protection to discontinue the option of posting a bond or 
security in lieu of a cash deposit for entries of subject merchandise 
from Anji DaSol.\4\ Because we did not calculate a dumping margin for 
Anji DaSol or grant Anji DaSol a separate rate in this new shipper 
review, Anji DaSol continues to be part of the PRC-wide entity. The 
cash deposit rate for the PRC-wide entity is 238.95 percent. These cash 
deposit requirements shall remain in effect until further notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See section 751(a)(2)(B)(iii) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 
amended (``the Act''); see also 19 CFR 351.214(e).

Notifications to Interested Parties

    This notice serves as a final 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. This notice also serves as a 
reminder 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(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 
terms of an APO is a violation which is subject to sanction.
    This rescission and notice are published in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(2)(B) and 777(i) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.214(f)(3).

    Dated: March 29, 2016.
Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
