    On July 9, 2009, the Department of Commerce (``the Department'') 
received countervailing duty (``CVD'') and antidumping duty (``AD'') 
petitions concerning imports of narrow woven ribbons with woven 
selvedge (``narrow woven ribbons'') from the People's Republic of China 
(``PRC''). The petitions were filed in proper form by

[[Page 39299]]

Berwick Offray LLC and its wholly-owned subsidiary Lion Ribbon Company, 
Inc. (collectively, ``the Petitioner''), a domestic producer of narrow 
woven ribbons. See ``Petition for Countervailing Duty and Antidumping 
Duty Investigations of China and an Antidumping Duty Investigation of 
Taiwan on Imports of Narrow Woven Ribbons with Woven Selvedge'' (``the 
Petition''). On July 13, 2009, the Department issued a request for 
additional information and clarification of certain of the Petitioner's 
subsidy allegations. See Letter from Brandon Farlander, Program 
Manager, AD/CVD Operations, Office 1, to the Petitioner, ``Petition for

the Department contacted the Petitioner by telephone seeking additional 
information and clarification regarding the Petition. See Memorandum to 
the File from Meredith A.W. Rutherford, ``General Issues Discussion 
with the Petitioner,'' dated July 23, 2009; see also Memorandum to the 
File from David Layton, Trade Analyst, AD/CVD Operations, Office 1, 
``Petition for the Imposition of Countervailing Duties on Imports of 
Narrow Woven Ribbons with Woven Selvedge from the People's Republic of 
China: Question Regarding the Countervailing Duty Allegations,'' dated 
July 24, 2009. Based on the Department's request, the Petitioner timely 
filed additional information pertaining to the Petition on July 27, 
2009. See Second Supplement to the AD/CVD Petitions, dated July 27, 
2009. On July 28, 2009, the Department again contacted the Petitioner

Meredith A.W. Rutherford, ``Phone Call with the Petitioner,'' dated 
July 28, 2009, and Memorandum to the File from Elizabeth Eastwood, 
``Scope Calls with the Petitioner,'' dated July 29, 2009. Based on the 
Department's request, the Petitioner timely filed additional 
information pertaining to the Petition on July 29, 2009. See Third 
Supplement to the AD/CVD Petitions, dated July 29, 2009.
    In accordance with section 702(b)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 
amended (``the Act''), the Petitioner alleges that producers/exporters 
of narrow woven ribbons in the PRC received countervailable subsidies 
within the meaning of sections 701 and 771(5) of the Act and that 
imports materially injure, or threaten material injury to, an industry 
in the United States.
    The Department finds that the Petitioner filed this Petition on 
behalf of the domestic industry because it is an interested party as 
defined in section 771(9)(C) of the Act, and the Petitioner has 
demonstrated sufficient industry support with respect to the CVD 
investigation that it is requesting the Department to initiate (see 
``Determination of Industry Support for the Petition'' below).

Period of Investigation

    The anticipated period of investigation (``POI'') is calendar year 
2008. See 19 CFR 351.204(b)(2).

Scope of Investigation

    The products covered by this investigation are narrow woven ribbons 
with woven selvedge from the PRC. For a full description of the scope 
of the investigation, please see the ``Scope of Investigation'' in 
Appendix I to this notice.

Comments on Scope of Investigation

    During our review of the Petition, we discussed the scope with the 
Petitioner to ensure that it is an accurate reflection of the products 
for which the domestic industry is seeking relief. Moreover, as 
discussed in the preamble to the regulations (See Antidumping Duties; 
Countervailing Duties; Final Rule, 62 FR 27296, 27323 (May 19, 1997)), 
we are setting aside a period for interested parties to raise issues 
regarding product coverage. The Department encourages all interested 
parties to submit such comments by August 18, 2009, twenty calendar 
days from the signature of this notice. Comments should be addressed to 
Import Administration's APO/Dockets Unit, Room 1870, U.S. Department of 
Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 
20230. The period of scope consultations is intended to provide the 
Department with ample opportunity to consider all comments and to 
consult with parties prior to the issuance of the preliminary 
determinations.

Consultations

    Pursuant to section 702(b)(4)(A)(ii) of the Act, the Department 
held consultations with the Government of the PRC (hereinafter, the 
GOC) with respect to the Petition on July 24, 2009. See Memorandum to 
the File, ``Countervailing Duty Petition on Narrow Woven Ribbons with 
Woven Selvedge from the People's Republic of China--Consultations with 
the Government of China,'' on file in the CRU, Room 1117 of the main 
Department of Commerce building.

Determination of Industry Support for the Petition

    Section 702(b)(1) of the Act requires that a petition be filed on 
behalf of the domestic industry. Section 702(c)(4)(A) of the Act 
provides that a petition meets

[[Page 39300]]

this requirement if the domestic producers or workers who support the 
petition account for: (i) At least 25 percent of the total production 
of the domestic like product; and (ii) more than 50 percent of the 
production of the domestic like product produced by that portion of the 
industry expressing support for, or opposition to, the petition. 
Moreover, section 702(c)(4)(D) of the Act provides that, if the 
petition does not establish support of domestic producers or workers 
accounting for more than 50 percent of the total production of the 
domestic like product, the Department shall: (i) Poll the industry or 
rely on other information in order to determine if there is support for 
the petition, as required by subparagraph (A); or (ii) determine 
industry support using a statistically valid sampling method to poll 
the industry.
    Section 771(4)(A) of the Act defines the ``industry'' as the 
producers as a whole of a domestic like product. Thus, to determine 
whether a petition has the requisite industry support, the statute 
directs the Department to look to producers and workers who produce the 
domestic like product. The International Trade Commission (``ITC''), 
which is responsible for determining whether ``the domestic industry'' 
has been injured, must also determine what constitutes a domestic like 
product in order to define the industry. While both the Department and 
the ITC must apply the same statutory definition regarding the domestic 
like product (section 771(10) of the Act), they do so for different 
purposes and pursuant to a separate and distinct authority. In 
addition, the Department's determination is subject to limitations of 
time and information. Although this may result in different definitions 
of the like product, such differences do not render the decision of 
either agency contrary to law. See USEC, Inc. v. United States, 132 F. 
Supp. 2d 1, 8 (Ct. Int'l Trade 2001), citing Algoma Steel Corp., Ltd. 
v. United States, 688 F. Supp. 639, 644 (Ct. Int'l Trade 1988), aff'd 
865 F.2d 240 (Fed. Cir. 1989), cert. denied 492 U.S. 919 (1989).
    Section 771(10) of the Act defines the domestic like product as ``a 
product which is like, or in the absence of like, most similar in 
characteristics and uses with, the article subject to an investigation 
under this title.'' Thus, the reference point from which the domestic 
like product analysis begins is ``the article subject to an 
investigation'' (i.e., the class or kind of merchandise to be 
investigated, which normally will be the scope as defined in the 
petition).
    With regard to the domestic like product, the Petitioner does not 
offer a definition of domestic like product distinct from the scope of 
the investigation. Based on our analysis of the information submitted 
on the record, we have determined that narrow woven ribbons constitute 
a single domestic like product and we have analyzed industry support in 
terms of that domestic like product. For a discussion of the domestic 
like product analysis in this case, see Countervailing Duty 
Investigation Initiation Checklist: Narrow Woven Ribbons with Woven 
Selvedge from the People's Republic of China (``CVD Initiation 
Checklist'') at Attachment II (Industry Support), dated concurrently 
with this notice and on file in the CRU, Room 1117 of the main 
Department of Commerce building.
    In determining whether the Petitioner has standing under section 
702(c)(4)(A) of the Act, we considered the industry support data 
contained in the Petition with reference to the domestic like product 
as defined in the ``Scope of Investigation'' in Appendix I. To 
establish industry support, the Petitioner provided its production of 
the domestic like product for the year 2008, and compared this to the 
total estimated production of the domestic like product for the entire 
domestic industry. See Volume I of the Petition, at 7, and Exhibits 2, 
4, and 5, Supplement to the AD/CVD Petitions, dated July 21, 2009, at 
A-9-11, Second Supplement to the AD/CVD Petitions, dated July 27, 2009, 
at A-1-2 and Exhibit 117, and Third Supplement to the AD/CVD Petitions, 
dated July 29, 2009, at Attachment II. To estimate 2008 production of 
the domestic like product, the Petitioner used its own data and 
industry specific knowledge. The Petitioner calculated total domestic 
production based on its own production plus estimates from the nine 
other producers of the domestic like product in the United States. See 
id., see also CVD Initiation Checklist at Attachment II, Industry 
Support.
    Our review of the data provided in the Petition, supplemental 
submissions, and other information readily available to the Department 
indicates that the Petitioner has established industry support. First, 
the Petition established support from domestic producers (or workers) 
accounting for more than 50 percent of the total production of the 
domestic like product and, as such, the Department is not required to 
take further action in order to evaluate industry support (e.g., 
polling). See section 702(c)(4)(D) of the Act; see also CVD Initiation 
Checklist at Attachment II. Second, the domestic producers (or workers) 
have met the statutory criteria for industry support under section 
702(c)(4)(A)(i) of the Act because the domestic producers (or workers) 
who support the Petition account for at least 25 percent of the total 
production of the domestic like product. See CVD Initiation Checklist 
at Attachment II. Finally, the domestic producers (or workers) have met 
the statutory criteria for industry support under section 
702(c)(4)(A)(ii) of the Act because the domestic producers (or workers) 
who support the Petition account for more than 50 percent of the 
production of the domestic like product produced by that portion of the 
industry expressing support for, or opposition to, the Petition. 
Accordingly, the Department determines that the Petition was filed on 
behalf of the domestic industry within the meaning of section 702(b)(1) 
of the Act. See id.

Injury Test

    Because the PRC is a ``Subsidies Agreement Country'' within the 
meaning of section 701(b) of the Act, section 701(a)(2) of the Act 
applies to this investigation. Accordingly, the ITC must determine 
whether imports of the subject merchandise from the PRC materially 
injure, or threaten material injury to, a U.S. industry.

Allegations and Evidence of Material Injury and Causation

    The Petitioner alleges that imports of narrow woven ribbons from 
the PRC are benefitting from countervailable subsidies and that such 
imports are causing, or threaten to cause, material injury to the 
domestic industry producing narrow woven ribbons. In addition, the 
Petitioner alleges that subsidized imports exceed the negligibility 
threshold provided for under section 771(24)(A) of the Act.
    The Petitioner contends that the industry's injured condition is 
illustrated by reduced market share, underselling and price depressing 
and suppressing effects, increased import penetration, lost sales and 
revenue, reduced production, reduced capacity, reduced capacity 
utilization, reduced shipments, reduced employment, and an overall 
decline in financial performance. We have assessed the allegations and 
supporting evidence regarding material injury, threat of material 
injury, and causation, and we have determined that these allegations 
are properly supported by adequate evidence and meet the statutory 
requirements for initiation. See CVD Initiation Checklist at Attachment 
III (Analysis of Allegations and Evidence of Material Injury and 
Causation for the Petition).

[[Page 39301]]

Initiation of Countervailing Duty Investigation

    Section 702(b) of the Act requires the Department to initiate a CVD 
proceeding whenever an interested party files a CVD petition on behalf 
of an industry that: (1) Alleges the elements necessary for an 
imposition of a duty under section 701(a) of the Act; and (2) is 
accompanied by information reasonably available to the petitioner 
supporting the allegations.
    The Department has examined the Petition on narrow woven ribbons 
from the PRC and finds that it complies with the requirements of 
section 702(b) of the Act. Therefore, in accordance with section 702(b) 
of the Act, we are initiating a CVD investigation to determine whether 
producers/exporters of narrow woven ribbons in the PRC receive 
countervailable subsidies. For a discussion of evidence supporting our 
initiation determination, see CVD Initiation Checklist.
    We are including in our investigation the following programs 
alleged in the Petition to provide countervailable subsidies to 
producers/exporters of the subject merchandise:

A. Loan Programs
    1. Policy Loans to Narrow Woven Ribbon Producers From State-
Owned Commercial Banks
B. Grant Programs
    2. The State Key Technology Renovation Project Fund
    3. Famous Brands Program
    4. Export Assistance Grants
    5. Export Interest Subsidy Funds for Enterprises Located in 
Zhejiang Province
    6. Technology Grants for Enterprises Located in Zhejiang 
Province
C. Income and Other Direct Tax Programs
    7. Preferential Tax Policies for Enterprises with Foreign 
Investment (``Two Free Three Half'') Program
    8. Tax Subsidies to FIEs in Specially Designated Areas
    9. Preferential Tax Policies for Export-Oriented FIEs
    10. Corporate Income Tax Refund Program for Reinvestment of FIE 
Profits in Export-Oriented Enterprises
    11. Local Income Tax Exemption and Reduction Programs for 
``Productive'' FIEs
    12. Tax Program for High or New Technology FIEs
    13. Preferential Tax Policies for Township Enterprises
    14. Preferential Tax Policies for Research and Development for 
FIEs
    15. Tax Benefits for FIEs in Encouraged Industries that Purchase 
Domestic Equipment
D. Indirect Tax and Tariff Exemption Programs
    16. Import Tariff and VAT Exemptions for FIEs Using Imported 
Technology and Equipment
    17. Import Tariff and VAT Exemptions for Certain Domestic 
Enterprises Using Imported Technology and Equipment
    18. VAT Rebate for FIE Purchases of Domestically Produced 
Equipment

For further information explaining why the Department is investigating 
these programs, see CVD Initiation Checklist.
    We are not including in our investigation the following programs 
alleged to benefit producers/exporters of the subject merchandise in 
the PRC:

1. Loan Guarantees to Narrow Woven Ribbon Producers from State-Owned 
Commercial Banks
2. Export Loans
3. Loan Forgiveness
4. Loan Interest Forgiveness
5. Grants for High-Technology Equipment
6. Technology Development Grants for Enterprises Located in Wenzhou 
Municipality
7. Grants to Loss-Making SOEs

9. Provision of Land Use Rights for LTAR in Certain Geographical 
Regions
10. Provision of Yarn for LTAR

For further information explaining why the Department is not initiating 
an investigation of these programs, see CVD Initiation Checklist.

Respondent Selection

    For this investigation, the Department intends to select 
respondents based on U.S. Customs and Border Protection (``CBP'') data 
for U.S. imports under HTSUS numbers 5806.32.1020, 5806.32.1030, 
5806.32.1050, and 5806.32.1060, the four HTSUS categories most specific 
to the subject merchandise, during the POI. We intend to release the 
CBP data under Administrative Protective Order (``APO'') to all parties 
with access to information protected by APO within five days of the 
announcement of the initiation of this investigation. Interested 
parties may submit comments regarding the CBP data and respondent 
selection within seven calendar days of publication of this notice. We 
intend to make our decision regarding respondent selection within 20 
days of publication of this notice. Interested parties must submit 
applications for disclosure under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 
351.305. Instructions for filing such applications may be found on the 
Department's Web site at http://ia.ita.doc.gov/apo.

Distribution of Copies of the Petition

    In accordance with section 702(b)(4)(A)(i) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.202(f), a copy of the public version of the Petition has been 
provided to the representatives of the GOC. Because of the particularly 
large number of producers/exporters identified in the Petition, the 
Department considers the service of the public version of the Petition 
to the foreign producers/exporters satisfied by the delivery of the 
public version to the GOC, consistent with 19 CFR 351.203(c)(2).

ITC Notification

    We have notified the ITC of our initiation, as required by section 
702(d) of the Act.

Preliminary Determination by the ITC

    The ITC will preliminarily determine, within 25 days after the date 
on which it receives notice of the initiation, whether there is a 
reasonable indication that imports of subsidized narrow woven ribbons 
from the PRC materially injure, or threaten material injury to, a U.S. 
industry. See section 703(a)(2) of the Act. A negative ITC 
determination will result in the investigation being terminated; see 
section 703(a)(1) of the Act. Otherwise, the investigation will proceed 
according to statutory and regulatory time limits.
    This notice is issued and published pursuant to section 777(i) of 
the Act.

    Dated: July 29, 2009.
