Republic of China: Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative 
Review

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

SUMMARY: On June 14, 2016, the Department of Commerce (the 
``Department'') published the preliminary results of the administrative 
review of the antidumping duty order on narrow woven ribbons with woven 
selvedge (``NWR'') from the People's Republic of China (``PRC''). The 
period of review (``POR'') is September 1, 2014, through August 31, 
2015. The review covers one company, Yama Ribbons Co., Ltd. (``Yama 
Ribbons''). We invited interested parties to comment on our preliminary 
results. None were received. Accordingly, for the final results, we 
continue to find that Yama Ribbons did not have reviewable transactions 
during the POR.

DATES: Effective October 19, 2016.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On June 14, 2016, the Department published the Preliminary Results 
\1\ in accordance with section 751(a)(1)(B) of the Tariff Act of 1930, 
as amended (``the Act''). This review covers one company, Yama Ribbons 
Co., Ltd. (``Yama Ribbons''), for the POR of September 1, 2014, through 
August 31, 2015.\2\ The Department determined in the underlying 
investigation that merchandise produced and exported by Yama Ribbons is 
excluded from the antidumping duty order.\3\ However, merchandise which 
Yama Ribbons exports but did not produce, as well as merchandise Yama 
Ribbons produces but is exported by another company, remain subject to 
the Order. We invited interested parties to submit comments on the 
Preliminary Results, but no comments were received. The Department has 
conducted this review in accordance with section 751(a)(1)(B) of the 
Act.

    \4\ For a complete description of the scope of the order, please 
see ``Decision Memorandum for Preliminary Results of Antidumping 
Duty Administrative Review: Narrow Woven Ribbons With Woven Selvedge 
from the People's Republic of China,'' from Christian Marsh, Deputy 
Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations, to Paul Piquado, Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and 
Compliance (``Preliminary Decision Memorandum''), dated June 7, 
2016.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Final Determination of No Shipments

    As noted the in Preliminary Results, Yama Ribbons had no reviewable 
transactions of merchandise during the POR.\5\ As there are no changes 
from, or comments upon, the Preliminary Results, the Department finds 
that there is no reason to modify its analysis. Therefore, we continue 
to find that Yama Ribbons did not have reviewable transactions during 
the POR.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See Preliminary Decision Memorandum at 5.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Assessment

    The Department has determined, and U.S. Customs and Border 
Protection (``CBP'') shall assess, antidumping duties on all 
appropriate entries covered by this review, in accordance with 19 CFR 
351.212(b)(1).\6\ The Department intends to issue assessment 
instructions to CBP 15 days after the date of publication of these 
final results of review. Pursuant to the Department's practice in non-
market economy cases, because Yama Ribbons had no shipments of the 
subject merchandise during the POR, the Department intends to instruct 
CBP to liquidate entries of subject merchandise that entered under Yama 
Ribbons' rate at the PRC-wide rate of 247.26 percent.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).

Economy Antidumping Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties,

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; \8\ (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 been determined 
by Commerce to have a separate rate, 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.

    \8\ See Order.

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.

accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act.
