Reviews of the Antidumping Duty Orders

Commerce (``the Department'') finds that revocation of the antidumping

the People's Republic of China (``PRC'') and Taiwan would likely lead 
to continuation or recurrence of dumping, at the levels indicated in 
the ``Final Results of Sunset Reviews'' section of this notice.

DATES: Effective Date: December 8, 2015.

duty orders on NWRs from the PRC and Taiwan pursuant to section 751(c) 
of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the Act'').\2\ On August 14, 
2015, the Department received a timely notice of intent to participate 
in the sunset reviews from Berwick Offray LLC and its wholly-owned 
subsidiary Lion Ribbon Company, LLC (``domestic interested parties''), 
pursuant to 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i).\3\ On August 31, 2015, domestic 
interested parties filed a timely substantive response with the 
Department pursuant to 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i). The Department did not 
receive a substantive response from any respondent interested party. As 
a result, pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR

reviews of the Orders.

likelihood of continuation or recurrence of dumping and the magnitude 
of the margins likely to prevail if the Orders were to be revoked.

Final Results of Sunset Reviews

    Pursuant to section 752(c)(3) of the Act, the Department determines 
that revocation of the Orders would likely lead to continuation or 
recurrence of dumping at weighted-average dumping margins up to 247.65 
percent for the PRC and up to 4.37 percent for Taiwan.

notification of the return or destruction of APO materials or 
conversion to judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to
