SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (``Department'') is conducting an
[[Page 38672]]
administrative review of the antidumping duty order on narrow woven
ribbons with woven selvedge (``woven ribbons'') from the People's
Republic of China (``PRC'') for the period of review (``POR'')
September 1, 2014, through August 31, 2015. This review covers one PRC
company Yama Ribbons Co., Ltd., (``Yama Ribbons'').\1\ The Department
preliminarily finds that Yama Ribbons did not have reviewable
transactions during the POR.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Administrative Reviews, 80 FR 69193 (November 09, 2015)
(``Initiation Notice''). The Department determined in the underlying
investigation that merchandise produced and exported by Yama Ribbons
is excluded from the antidumping duty order. See also Notice of
Antidumping Duty Orders: Narrow Woven Ribbons With Woven Selvedge
from Taiwan and the People's Republic of China: Antidumping Duty
Orders, 75 FR 53632 (September 1, 2010), as amended in Narrow Woven
Ribbons With Woven Selvedge from Taiwan and the People's Republic of
China: Amended Antidumping Duty Orders, 75 FR 56982 (September 17,
2010) (``Order''). However, merchandise which Yama exports but did
not produce remains subject to the antidumping duty order on narrow
woven ribbons with woven selvedge.

Preliminary Results of Review
The Department preliminarily determines that Yama Ribbons did not
have reviewable transactions during the POR.
Disclosure and Public Comment
Interested parties are invited to comment on the preliminary
results and may submit case briefs and/or written comments, filed
electronically using ACCESS, within 30 days of the date of publication
of this notice, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.309(c)(1)(ii). Rebuttal briefs,
limited to issues raised in the case briefs, will be due five days
after the due date for case briefs, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.309(d).
Parties who submit case or rebuttal briefs in this proceeding are
requested to submit with each argument a statement of the issue, a
summary of the argument not to exceed five pages, and a table of
statutes, regulations, and cases cited, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.309(c)(2).
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), interested parties, who wish to
request a hearing, or to participate in a hearing if one is requested,
must submit a written request to the Assistant Secretary for
Enforcement and Compliance, U.S. Department of Commerce, filed
electronically using ACCESS. Electronically filed case briefs/written
comments and hearing requests must be received successfully in their
entirety by the Department's electronic records system, ACCESS, by 5:00
p.m. Eastern Standard Time, within 30 days after the date of
publication of this notice.\3\ Hearing requests should contain: (1) The
party's name, address and telephone number; (2) the number of
participants; and (3) a list of issues to be discussed. Issues raised
in the hearing will be limited to those issues raised in the respective
case briefs. If a request for a hearing is made, parties will be
notified of the time and date of the hearing which will be held at the
U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue NW., Washington,
DC 20230. The Department intends to issue the final results of this
administrative review, including the results of its analysis of the
issues raised in any written briefs, not later than 120 days after the

the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ See 19 CFR 351.310(c).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Assessment Rates
Upon issuance of the final results, the Department will determine,
and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (``CBP'') shall assess,
antidumping duties on all appropriate entries covered by this
review.\4\ The Department intends to issue assessment instructions to
CBP 15 days after the publication date of the final results of this
review. Pursuant to the Department's practice in NME cases, if we
continue to determine that Yama Ribbons had no shipments of the subject
merchandise, any suspended entries that entered under that exporter's
case number (i.e., at that exporter's rate) will be liquidated at the
PRC-wide rate of 247.26 percent. For a full discussion of this
practice, see Non-Market Economy Antidumping Proceedings: Assessment of
Antidumping Duties, 76 FR 65694 (October 24, 2011).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon
publication of the final results of this administrative review 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 review, as provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the
Act: (1) For exports of merchandise made by Yama Ribbons of merchandise
it did not produce, the cash deposit rate is the PRC-wide rate of
247.26 percent, as stated in the Order; \5\ (2) for previously
investigated or reviewed PRC and non-PRC exporters which are not under
review in this segment of the
[[Page 38673]]
proceeding but which have separate rates, the cash deposit rate will
continue to be the exporter-specific rate published for the most recent
period; (3) for all PRC exporters of subject merchandise that have not
been found to be entitled to a separate rate the cash deposit rate will
be the PRC-wide rate of 247.26 percent; and (4) for all non-PRC
exporters of subject merchandise which have not received their own
rate, the cash deposit rate will be the rate applicable to the PRC
exporter(s) that supplied that non-PRC exporter. These deposit
requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further
notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ See Order at 75 FR 53632.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 this requirement could result in the Department'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 351.213.
Dated: June 7, 2016.
