Narrow Woven Ribbon With Woven Selvedge From the People's 
Republic of China: Final Results of Administrative Review; 2012-2013

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: On June 9, 2014, the Department of Commerce (the 
``Department'') published the preliminary results and partial 
rescission of the 2012-2013 administrative review of the antidumping 
duty order on narrow woven ribbon with woven selvedge (``NWR'') from 
the People's Republic of China (``PRC''), in accordance with section 
751(a)(1)(B) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the Act'').\1\ 
The period of review (``POR'') is September 1, 2012, through August 31, 
2013. Because the PRC-wide entity failed to cooperate to the best of 
its ability in complying with our requests for information, we 
preliminarily determined an estimated weighted-average dumping margin 
for the PRC-wide entity based on facts available with an adverse 
inference (``AFA''). The Department invited interested parties to 
comment on the Preliminary Results. No parties commented. Accordingly, 
our final results remain unchanged from the Preliminary Results.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On June 9, 2014, the Department published the Preliminary Results. 
The Department explained that it had initiated an administrative review 
of the company, Yangzhou Bestpak Gifts & Crafts Co., Ltd. (``Bestpak'') 
and issued questionnaires to Bestpak, which did not respond to those 
questionnaires. Because Bestpak did not establish that its export 
activities were separate from that of the PRC-wide entity, in 
accordance with 19 CFR 351.107(d), the Department preliminarily 
determined that Bestpak was part of the PRC-wide entity. Further, 
because the PRC-wide entity failed to provide responses to 
questionnaires and cooperate to the best of its ability in complying 
with the information requests, the Department preliminarily determined 
an estimated weighted-average dumping margin based on AFA, in 
accordance with sections 776(a) and (b) of the Act, for the PRC-wide 
entity. We invited interested parties to submit comments on the 
Preliminary Results. No party commented, nor did any party request a 
hearing.

Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty

Final Results of Review

    As noted above, the Department received no comments concerning the 
Preliminary Results on the record of this segment of the proceeding. As 
there are no changes from, or comments upon, the Preliminary Results, 
the Department finds that there is no reason to modify its analysis. 
Thus, we continue to determine that Bestpak is part of the PRC-wide 
entity for these final results, and that the PRC-wide entity has failed 
to act to the best of its ability to responding to the Department's 
requests for information, warranting the application of AFA, in 
accordance with sections 776(a) and (b) of the Act. Accordingly, no 
decision memorandum accompanies this Federal Register notice. For 
further details of the issues addressed in this proceeding, see the 
Preliminary Results and the accompanying Preliminary Decision 
Memorandum. The final weighted-average dumping margin for the period 
September 1, 2012, through August 31, 2013, is as follows:

Assessment

    The Department will determine, and Customs and Border Protection 
(``CBP'') shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries 
covered by this review.\5\ The Department intends to issue assessment 
instructions to CBP 15 days after the date of publication of these 
final results of review. The Department intends to instruct CBP to 
liquidate entries of subject merchandise from Bestpak at the PRC-wide 
rate of 247.65 percent.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ 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 from the PRC entered, or withdrawn 
from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date, as 
provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For previously 
investigated or reviewed PRC and non-PRC exporters which are not under 
review in this segment of the proceeding but which have separate rates, 
the cash deposit rate will continue to be the exporter-specific rate 
published for the most recent period; (2) 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 
247.65 percent; and (3) 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.

Notification to Importers Regarding the Reimbursement of Duties

    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 POR. Failure to comply with this 
requirement could result in the Department's presumption that 
reimbursement of antidumping duties has occurred and the subsequent 
assessment of doubled antidumping duties.

Notification to Interested Parties

    This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to the 
administrative protective order (``APO'') of their responsibility 
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under 
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely notification of the 
destruction of APO materials or conversion to judicial protective order 
is hereby requested. Failure to comply with the regulations and the 
terms of an APO is a sanctionable violation.
