SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On August 3, 2015, the Department initiated a sunset review of the 
CVD Order \1\ on ribbons from the PRC pursuant to section 751(c) of the 
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).\2\ On August 14, 2015, the 
Department received a notice of intent to participate in the review on 
behalf of Berwick Offray LLC and its wholly-owned subsidiary Lion 
Ribbon Company, LLC (collectively, Berwick Offray) within the deadline 
specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i). Berwick Offray claimed interested 
party status under section 771(9)(C) of the Act, as domestic producers 
of the domestic like product.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Narrow Woven Ribbons with Woven Selvedge from the 
People's Republic of China: Countervailing Duty Order, 75 FR 53642 
(September 1, 2010) (CVD Order).
    \2\ See Initiation of Five-Year (``Sunset'') Review, 80 FR 45945 
(August 3, 2015).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Department received adequate substantive responses from the 
domestic industry within the 30-day deadline specified in 19 CFR 
351.218(d)(3)(i). The Department did not receive a substantive response 
from the Government of the PRC or any respondent interested party to 
the proceeding. Because the Department received no response from the 
respondent interested parties, the Department conducted an expedited 
review of this CVD Order, pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(B) of the Act 
and 19 CFR 351.218(e)(l)(ii)(B)(2) and (C)(2).

Scope of the Order

    The merchandise subject to the order is narrow woven ribbons with 
woven selvedge, in any length, but with a width (measured at the 
narrowest span of the ribbon) less than or equal to 12 centimeters, 
composed of, in whole or in part, man-made fibers (whether artificial 
or synthetic, including but not limited to nylon, polyester, rayon, 
polypropylene, and polyethylene teraphthalate), metal threads and/or 
metalized yarns, or any combination thereof. The merchandise subject to 
this order is classifiable under the HTSUS statistical categories 
5806.32.1020; 5806.32.1030; 5806.32.1050 and 5806.32.1060. Subject 
merchandise also may enter under subheadings 5806.31.00; 5806.32.20; 
5806.39.20; 5806.39.30; 5808.90.00; 5810.91.00; 5810.99.90; 5903.90.10; 
5903.90.25; 5907.00.60; and 5907.00.80 and under statistical categories 
5806.32.1080; 5810.92.9080; 5903.90.3090; and 6307.90.9889. The HTSUS 
statistical categories and subheadings are provided for convenience and 
customs purposes; however, the written description of the merchandise 
under the order is dispositive.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ A full description of the scope of the order is contained in 
the memorandum to Christian Marsh, Deputy Assistant Secretary for 
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Operations, from Gary Taverman, 
Associate Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and 
Countervailing Duty Operations, ``Issues and Decision Memorandum for 
the Final Results of the Expedited First Sunset Review of the 
Countervailing Duty Order on Narrow Woven Ribbons with Woven 
Selvedge from the People's Republic of China'' (Issues and Decision 
Memorandum), dated concurrently with these results and hereby 
adopted by this notice.

Analysis of Comments Received

    All issues raised in this review are addressed in the Issues and 
Decision Memorandum. The issues discussed in the Issues and Decision 
Memorandum include the likelihood of continuation or recurrence of a

prevail if the CVD Order were revoked. Parties can find a complete 
discussion of all issues raised in this expedited sunset review and the 
corresponding recommendations in this public memorandum, which is on 
file electronically via the Enforcement and Compliance Antidumping and

Final Results of Review

    Pursuant to sections 752(b)(1) and (3) of the Act, we determine 
that revocation of the CVD Order on ribbons from the PRC would be 
likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of a net countervailable 
subsidy at the rates listed below:
