SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (``Department'') is conducting an

[[Page 38672]]

administrative review of the antidumping duty order on narrow woven 
ribbons with woven selvedge (``woven ribbons'') from the People's 
Republic of China (``PRC'') for the period of review (``POR'') 
September 1, 2014, through August 31, 2015. This review covers one PRC 
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, 80 FR 69193 (November 09, 2015) 
(``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.

System (``ACCESS''). ACCESS is available to registered users at http://access.trade.gov and in the Central Records Unit, Room B8024 of the

Preliminary Results of Review

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

Disclosure and Public Comment

    Interested parties are invited to comment on the preliminary 
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). 
Parties who submit case or rebuttal briefs in this proceeding are 
requested to submit with each argument a statement of the issue, a 
summary of the argument not to exceed five pages, and a table of 
statutes, regulations, and cases cited, in accordance with 19 CFR 
351.309(c)(2).
    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 
electronically using ACCESS. Electronically filed case briefs/written 
comments and hearing requests must be received successfully in their 
entirety by the Department's electronic records system, ACCESS, by 5:00 
p.m. Eastern Standard Time, within 30 days after the date of 
publication of this notice.\3\ Hearing requests should contain: (1) The 
party's name, address and telephone number; (2) the number of 
participants; and (3) a list of issues to be discussed. Issues raised 
in the hearing will be limited to those issues raised in the respective 
case briefs. If a request for a hearing is made, parties will be 
notified of the time and date of the hearing which will be held at the 
U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue NW., Washington, 
DC 20230. The Department intends to issue the final results of this 
administrative review, including the results of its analysis of the 
issues raised in any written briefs, not later than 120 days after the 
date of publication of this notice, pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of 
the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See 19 CFR 351.310(c).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 247.26 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 
247.26 percent, 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

[[Page 38673]]

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 247.26 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See Order at 75 FR 53632.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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: June 7, 2016.
Paul Piquado,
Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
