Narrow Woven Ribbons With Woven Selvedge From the People's 
Republic of China and Taiwan: Continuation of Antidumping Duty Orders 
and Countervailing Duty Order

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

SUMMARY: As a result of the determinations by the Department of 
Commerce (the ``Department'') and the International Trade Commission 
(the ``ITC'') that revocation of the antidumping duty (``AD'') orders 
on narrow woven ribbons with woven selvedge (``NWRs'') from the 
People's Republic of China (``PRC'') and Taiwan and the countervailing 
duty (``CVD'') order on NWRs from the PRC would likely lead to a 
continuation or recurrence of dumping and countervailable subsidies and 
material injury to an industry in the United States, the Department is 
publishing this notice of continuation of the AD orders and the CVD 
order.

DATES: Effective September 22, 2016.

Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue NW., Washington, DC 
20230.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On August 3, 2015, the Department initiated \1\ and the ITC 
instituted \2\ five-year (sunset) reviews of the AD orders on NWRs from 
the PRC and Taiwan, and the CVD order on NWRs from the PRC, pursuant to 
section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the Act''). The 
Department conducted expedited sunset reviews of these orders. As a 
result of its reviews, the Department determined that revocation of the 
AD orders on NWRs from the PRC and Taiwan would likely lead to 
continuation or recurrence of dumping, and that revocation of the CVD 
order would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of 
countervailable subsidies.\3\ The Department, therefore, notified the 
ITC of the magnitude of the dumping margins and net countervailable 
subsidy rates likely to prevail should the AD orders and the CVD order 
be revoked.\4\ On September 15, 2016, the ITC published its 
determination, pursuant to sections 751(c) and 752 of the Act, that 
revocation of the AD orders on NWRs from the PRC and Taiwan, and the 
CVD order on NWRs from the PRC, would likely lead to continuation or 
recurrence of material injury to an industry in the United States 
within a reasonably foreseeable time.\5\

Continuation of the Orders

    As a result of the determinations by the Department and the ITC 
that revocation of the AD and CVD orders would likely lead to 
continuation or recurrence of dumping and countervailable subsidies and 
material injury to an industry in the United States, pursuant to 
section 751(d)(2) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(a), the Department 
hereby orders the continuation of the AD orders on NWRs from the PRC 
and Taiwan and the CVD order on NWRs from the PRC. United States 
Customs and Border Protection will continue to collect AD and CVD cash 
deposits at the rates in effect at the time of entry for all imports of 
subject merchandise.
    The effective date of the continuation of the orders will be the 
date of publication in the Federal Register of this notice of 
continuation. Pursuant to section 751(c)(2) of the Act, the Department 
intends to initiate the next five-year reviews of the orders not later 
than 30 days prior to the fifth anniversary of the effective date of 
continuation of the orders.
    These five-year sunset reviews and this notice are in accordance 
with section 751(c) of the Act and published pursuant to section 
777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(f)(4).
