SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On September 1, 2010, Commerce published in the Federal Register
the antidumping duty order on ribbons from Taiwan.\1\ On September 6,
2023, Commerce published in the Federal Register a notice of
opportunity to request an administrative review of the Order for the
POR.\2\ On November 15, 2023, based on timely requests for review by
Berwick Offray LLC and its wholly-owned subsidiary Lion Ribbon Company,
LLC (the petitioners), and in accordance with 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i),
we initiated an administrative review of the Order covering 59
exporters and/or producers.\3\ On January 26, 2024, the petitioners
withdrew their request for an administrative review with respect to all
companies for which Commerce initiated a review other than Hao Shyang
Ind. Co. Ltd. (Hao Shyang) and Lung Che Ribbons Enterprises Co. Ltd.
(Lung Che).\4\ On May 10, 2024, Commerce extended the time period for
issuing the preliminary results of this review until September 27,
2024.\5\ On July 22, 2024, Commerce tolled certain deadlines in this
administrative proceeding by seven days.\6\ The deadline for the
preliminary results is now October 4, 2024. For a complete description
of the events that followed the initiation of this review, see the
Preliminary Decision Memorandum.\7\

Methodology
Commerce is conducting this review in accordance with sections
751(a)(1)(B) and (2) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).
Pursuant to sections 776(a) and (b) of the Act, Commerce preliminarily
relied entirely upon facts otherwise available with adverse inferences
for Hao Shyang and Lung Che. For a complete description of the
methodology underlying our conclusions, see the Preliminary Decision
Memorandum. A list of topics discussed in the Preliminary Decision
Memorandum is attached in Appendix I of this notice. The Preliminary
Decision Memorandum is a public document and is on file electronically
via Enforcement and Compliance's Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS). ACCESS is available to
registered users at <a href="https://access.trade.gov">https://access.trade.gov</a>. In addition, a complete
version of the Preliminary Decision Memorandum is available at <a href="https://access.trade.gov/public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx">https://access.trade.gov/public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx</a>.
Rescission of Review, in Part
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), Commerce will rescind an
administrative review, in whole or in part, if a party who requested
the review withdraws the request within 90 days of the date of
publication of the notice of initiation of the requested review. On
January 26, 2024, the petitioners timely withdrew their request for an
administrative review with respect to all companies for which a review
was requested other than Hao Shyang and Lung Che.\9\ Accordingly,
because no other parties requested a review of these companies, we are
rescinding this administrative review, in part, with respect to the 57
companies listed in Appendix II. The administrative review remains
active with respect to the mandatory respondents, Hao Shyang and Lung
Che.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\9\ See Withdrawal of Review Request.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

weighted-average dumping margin exists for the period September 1,
2022, through August 31, 2023:

Disclosure
Normally, Commerce discloses to interested parties the calculations

days of any public announcement or, if there is no public announcement,
within five days of the date of publication of the notice of
preliminary results in the Federal Register, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.224(b). However, because Commerce preliminarily applied total
adverse facts available (AFA) to the two individually examined
companies subject to this this review, in accordance with section 776
of the Act, there are no calculations to disclose.
Public Comment
Interested parties may submit case briefs to Commerce no later than
30 days after the date of publication of this notice.\10\ Rebuttal
briefs, limited to issues raised in the case briefs, may be filed no
later than five days after the date for filing case briefs.\11\
Interested parties who submit case briefs or rebuttal briefs in this
proceeding must submit: (1) a table of contents listing each issue; and

[[Page 82209]]
proceedings we have encouraged interested parties to provide an
executive summary of their brief that should be limited to five pages
total, including footnotes. In this investigation, we instead request
that interested parties provide at the beginning of their briefs a
public, executive summary for each issue raised in their briefs.\13\
Further, we request that interested parties limit their executive
summary of each issue to no more than 450 words, not including
citations. We intend to use the executive summaries as the basis of the
comment summaries included in the issues and decision memorandum that
will accompany the final determination in this investigation. We
request that interested parties include footnotes for relevant
citations in the executive summary of each issue. Note that Commerce
has amended certain of its requirements pertaining to the service of
documents in 19 CFR 351.303(f).\14\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\13\ We use the term ``issue'' here to describe an argument that
Commerce would normally address in a comment of the Issues and
Decision Memorandum.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), interested parties who wish to
request a hearing, limited to issues raised in the case and rebuttal
briefs, must submit a written request to the Assistant Secretary for
Enforcement and Compliance, within 30 days after the date of

address, and telephone number, the number of participants, whether any
participant is a foreign national, and a list of issues to be
discussed. If a request for a hearing is made, Commerce intends to hold
a hearing at a time and date to be determined.\15\ Parties should
confirm by telephone the date, time, and location of the hearing two
days before the scheduled date. All submissions, including case and
rebuttal briefs, as well as hearing requests, should be filed using
ACCESS.\16\ An electronically-filed document must be received
successfully in its entirety by ACCESS by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the
established deadline.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\15\ See 19 CFR 351.310(d).
\16\ See 19 CFR 351.303.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the Act, upon completion of the
final results of administrative review, Commerce shall determine, and
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping
duties on all appropriate entries covered by this review.\17\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\17\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For the companies for which this review is being rescinded, in
part, Commerce will instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries. Antidumping duties shall be assessed at rates
equal to the cash deposit rate for estimated antidumping duties
required at the time of entry, or withdrawal from warehouse, for
consumption, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i). With respect
to the recission of this review, in part, Commerce intends to issue
assessment instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days after the date
of publication of this notice in the Federal Register.
For companies subject to this review, Commerce intends to issue
assessment instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days after the date
of publication of the final results of this review in the Federal
Register. If a timely summons is filed at the U.S. Court of
International Trade, the assessment instructions will direct CBP not to
liquidate relevant entries until the time for parties to file a request
for a statutory injunction has expired (i.e., within 90 days of
publication).
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon
publication in the Federal Register of the notice of final results of
administrative review for all shipments of ribbons from Taiwan entered,
or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of
publication as provided for by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) the
cash deposit rate for Hao Shyang and Lung Che will be equal to the
weighted-average dumping margin established in the final results of
this review; (2) for merchandise exported by a company not covered in
this review but covered in a prior completed segment of the proceeding,
the cash deposit rate will continue to be the company-specific rate
published in the completed segment for the most recent period; (3) if
the exporter is not a firm covered in this review or another completed
segment of this proceeding, but the producer is, then the cash deposit
rate will be the company-specific rate established for the completed
segment for the most recent period for the producer of the merchandise;
and (4) the cash deposit rate for all other manufacturers or exporters
will continue to be 4.37 percent, the all-others rate determined in the
less-than-fair-value investigation.\18\ These cash deposit
requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further
notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\18\ See Order.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Final Results of Review
Unless the deadline is otherwise extended, Commerce intends to
issue the final results of this administrative review, including the
results of its analysis of the issues raised by interested parties in
written briefs, within 120 days after the date of publication of this
notice in the Federal Register, pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(1).
Notification to Importers
This notice 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 and/or countervailing duties
prior to liquidation of the relevant entries during this review period.
Failure to comply with this requirement could result in Commerce's
presumption that reimbursement of antidumping and/or countervailing
duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of double antidumping
duties, and/or an increase in the amount of antidumping duties by the
amount of countervailing duties.\19\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\19\ See 19 CFR 351.402(f)(3).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing these preliminary results in
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act, and 19 CFR
351.213(h) and 351.221(b)(4).
Dated: October 3, 2024.
