Republic of China: Preliminary Results of Administrative Review; 2013-
2014

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.

DATES: Effective Date: June 9, 2015.

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (``Department'') is conducting an 
administrative review of the antidumping duty order on narrow woven 
ribbon with woven selvedge (``NWR'') from the People's Republic of 
China (``PRC'') for the period of review (``POR'') September 1, 2013, 
through August 31, 2014. This review covers one 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, 79 FR 64565 (October 31, 2014) (``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.

    The Department preliminarily determines that Yama Ribbons did not 
have reviewable transactions during the POR.

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).

    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

comments and hearing requests must be received successfully in their 
entirety by the Department's electronic records system, ACCESS, by 5:00

notice.\3\ Hearing requests should contain: (1) The party's name,

Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue NW., Washington DC 20230. The

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 247.65 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 
247.65, 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 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 247.65 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.

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: May 29, 2015.
Paul Piquado,
Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
