(Commerce) finds that revocation of the countervailing duty order (CVD)
order on narrow woven ribbons with woven selvedge (ribbons) from the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On September 1, 2010, Commerce published in the Federal Register a
notice of the CVD order on ribbons from China.\1\ On August 2, 2021,
Commerce published the notice of initiation of the second sunset review
of the Order, pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (the Act).\2\ Commerce received a notice of intent to
participate from Berwick Offray LLC and its wholly-owned subsidiary
Lion Ribbon Company, LLC (collectively, the petitioner), within the
deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i).\3\ The petitioner
claimed domestic interested party status pursuant to section 771(9)(C)
of the Act and 19 CFR 351.102(b)(29)(v) as a manufacturer in the United
States of the domestic like product.\4\

interested party in this proceeding. On September 20, 2021, Commerce
notified the U.S. International Trade Commission that it did not

parties.\6\ As a result, Commerce conducted an expedited (120-day)

and 19 CFR 351.218(e)(l)(ii)(B)(2) and (C)(2).
