Background

    The Commission instituted these investigations effective July 9, 
2009, following receipt of a petition filed with the Commission and 
Commerce by Berwick Offray LLC and its wholly-owned subsidiary Lion 
Ribbon Company, Inc., Berwick, PA. The final phase of the 
investigations was scheduled by the Commission following notification 
of preliminary determinations by Commerce that imports of narrow woven 
ribbons with woven selvedge from China were subsidized within the 
meaning of section 703(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1671b(b)) and that 
imports of narrow woven ribbons with woven selvedge from China and 
Taiwan were dumped within the meaning of 733(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 
1673b(b)). Notice of the scheduling of the final phase of the 
Commission's investigations and of a public hearing to be held in 
connection therewith was given by posting copies of the notice in the 
Office of the Secretary, U.S. International Trade Commission, 
Washington, DC, and by publishing the notice in the Federal Register on 
March 12, 2010 (75 FR 11908). The hearing was held in Washington, DC, 
on July 15, 2010, and all persons who requested the opportunity were 
permitted to appear in person or by counsel.
    The Commission transmitted its determinations in these 
investigations to the Secretary of Commerce on August 25, 2010. The 
views of the Commission are contained in USITC Publication 4180 
(September 2010), entitled Narrow Woven Ribbons With Woven Selvedge
