(``the Department'') initiated a new shipper review of the antidumping

assembled into modules, (``solar cells'') from the People's Republic of
China (``PRC'') covering the period December 1, 2014 through November
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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
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.
