of review (POR) September 1, 2015

covers two PRC companies: Huzhou
Kingdom Coating Industry Co., Ltd.
(Huzhou Kingdom) and Huzhou Unifull
Label Fabric Co., Ltd. (Huzhou Unifull).
The Department preliminarily finds that
neither Huzhou Unifull nor Huzhou
Kingdom established eligibility for a
separate rate, as Huzhou Unifull had no
entries of subject merchandise during
the POR and Huzhou Kingdom failed to
participate in the proceeding.
Furthermore, the Department is
rescinding administrative review with
respect to Huzhou BeiHeng Textile Co.,
Ltd. (Huzhou BeiHeng) and Huzhou
Siny Label Material Co., Ltd. (Huzhou

comment on these preliminary results.

‘‘Sicilian-style’’ green olives. Sicilian-style olives
are large, firm green olives with a natural bitter and
savory flavor. This style of olive is produced in
small quantities in the United States using a
Sevillano variety of olive and harvested green with
a firm texture. Sicilian-style olives are processed
using a brine-cured method, and undergo a full
fermentation in a salt and lactic acid brine for 4 to
9 months. These olives may be sold whole unpitted,
pitted, or stuffed.
‘‘Kalamata’’ olives: Kalamata olives are slightly
curved in shape, tender in texture, and purple in
color, and have a rich natural tangy and savory
flavor. This style of olive is produced in Greece
using a Kalamata variety olive. The olives are
harvested after they are fully ripened on the tree,
and typically use a brine-cured fermentation
method over 4 to 9 months in a salt brine.
Other specialty olives in a full range of colors,
sizes, and origins, typically fermented in a salt
brine for 3 months or more.

However, the Department determined in
the underlying investigation that
merchandise produced and exported by
Yama Ribbons is excluded from the
antidumping duty order; as a result, the
Department did not initiate an
administrative review on Yama
Ribbons.5 On November 9, 2016, the
Department initiated a review of four
companies: Huzhou BeiHeng, Huzhou
Siny, Huzhou Kingdom, and Huzhou

Methodology
The Department is conducting this
review in accordance with section
751(a)(1)(B) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (the Act). For a full
description of the methodology
underlying our conclusions, see
Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
This 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 https://
access.trade.gov and in the Central
Records Unit, room B8024 of the main
Department of Commerce building. In
addition, a complete version of the
Preliminary Results Decision
Memorandum can be accessed directly
on the Internet at https://
enforcement.trade.gov/frn/.
The signed Preliminary Results Decision
Memorandum and the electronic
versions of the Preliminary Decision
Memorandum are identical in content.
Preliminary Results of Review
The Department preliminarily finds
that both Huzhou Kingdom and Huzhou
Unifull have failed to demonstrate
eligibility for a separate rate and,
therefore, they are considered part of the
PRC-wide entity. The Department finds
that Huzhou Kingdom did not submit a
certification of no sales, a separate rate
application, or a separate rate
certification. With respect to Huzhou
Unifull, the Department preliminary
finds there are no reviewable entries
during the POR and, thus, Huzhou
Unifull has failed to demonstrate
eligibility for a separate rate. Both Avery
Dennison and Huzhou Unifull
submitted the same CBP Form 7501 to
indicate an entry of subject merchandise
by Huzhou Unifull. However, after
examination, the Department
determines that the CBP Form 7501
does not correspond to a sale by Huzhou
Unifull and as such, found there are no
reviewable entries of subject
merchandise during the POR.10

in any written briefs, not later than 120
days after the date of publication of this
notice, pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A)
of the Act.
Assessment Rates
Upon issuance of the final results, the
Department will determine, and U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
shall assess, antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries covered by this
review.14 The Department intends to
issue assessment instructions to CBP 15
days after the publication date of the
final results of this review. For the
companies for which this review is
rescinded, antidumping duties shall be
assessed at rates equal to the cash
deposit of estimated antidumping duties
required at the time of entry, or
withdrawal from warehouse, for
consumption, in accordance with 19
CFR 351.212(c)(l)(i). The Department
intends to issue appropriate assessment
instructions directly to CBP 15 days
after publication of this notice.
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
exported by Huzhou Kingdom, the cash
deposit rate is the PRC-wide rate of
247.26 percent; (2) for exports of
merchandise exported by Huzhou
Unifull, the cash deposit rate is the PRCwide rate of 247.26; (3) for previously
investigated or reviewed PRC and nonPRC exporters which are not under
review in this segment of the proceeding
but which have separate rates, the cash
deposit rate will continue to be the
exporter-specific rate published for the
most recent period; (4) for all PRC
exporters of subject merchandise that

Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 137 / Wednesday, July 19, 2017 / Notices
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 (5) 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 nonPRC exporter. These deposit
requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.
Notification to Importers
This notice also 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 duties prior to liquidation
of the relevant entries during this
review period. Failure to comply with
this requirement could result in the
Department’s presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties
occurred and the subsequent assessment
of double antidumping duties.
We are issuing and publishing these
results in accordance with sections
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19
CFR 351.213.

No interested party commented on the

in the Initiation Notice.3 Therefore, the
scope of this investigation remains
unchanged for this final determination.
Verification
As provided in section 782(i) of the
Act, in February, March, and April
2017, the Department conducted
verification of the information reported
by the mandatory respondent Synthos
Dwory (Synthos), for use in the
Department’s final determination. The
Department used standard verification
procedures, including an examination of
relevant accounting and production
records, and original source documents
provided by the respondent.4
Analysis of Comments Received
The issues raised in the case brief that
was submitted by petitioners 5 in this
investigation are addressed in the Issues
and Decision Memorandum. A list of
these issues is attached to this notice as
Appendix II. Based on our analysis of
the comments received and our findings
at verification, we made no changes to
the margin calculation for Synthos.
All-Others Rate
Section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act
provides that in the final determination
the Department shall determine an
estimated all-others rate for all exporters
and producers not individually
examined. This rate shall be an amount
equal to the weighted-average of the
estimated weighted-average dumping
margins established for exporters and
producers individually investigated,
excluding any zero and de minimis
margins, and any margins determined
entirely under section 776 of the Act.
For the final determination, the
Department calculated an individual
estimated weighted-average dumping
margin for Synthos, the only
individually examined exporter/
producer in this investigation. Because
the only individually calculated
dumping margin is not zero, de

Narrow Woven Ribbon With Woven Selvedge From the People's

Preliminary Partial Rescission of Antidumping Duty Administrative
Review; 2015-2016
AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (Department) is conducting an
administrative review of the antidumping duty order on narrow woven
ribbons with woven selvedge (woven ribbons) from the People's Republic
of China (PRC) for the period of review (POR) September 1, 2015 through
August 31, 2016. This review covers two PRC companies: Huzhou Kingdom
Coating Industry Co., Ltd. (Huzhou Kingdom) and Huzhou Unifull Label
Fabric Co., Ltd. (Huzhou Unifull). The Department preliminarily finds
that neither Huzhou Unifull nor Huzhou Kingdom established eligibility
for a separate rate, as Huzhou Unifull had no entries of subject
merchandise during the POR and Huzhou Kingdom failed to participate in
the proceeding. Furthermore, the Department is rescinding
administrative review with respect to Huzhou BeiHeng Textile Co., Ltd.
(Huzhou BeiHeng) and Huzhou Siny Label Material Co., Ltd. (Huzhou
Siny). Interested parties are invited to comment on these preliminary
results.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On September 17, 2010, the Department published in the Federal
Register an amended antidumping duty order on woven ribbons from the
PRC.\1\ On September 8, 2016, the Department published in the Federal
Register a notice of opportunity to request an administrative review of
the Order.\2\ On September 27, 2016, Avery Dennison Corporation (Avery
Dennison) timely requested a review of four companies: Huzhou BeiHeng,
Huzhou Siny, Huzhou Kingdom, and Huzhou Unifull.\3\ Additionally, on
September 30, 2016, Berwick Offray LLC and its subsidiary Lion Ribbon
Company, LLC (the petitioner) timely requested a review \4\ of the
producer/exporter Yama Ribbons and Bows Co., Ltd. (Yama Ribbons).
However, the Department determined in the underlying investigation that
merchandise produced and exported by Yama Ribbons is excluded from the
antidumping duty order; as a result, the Department did not initiate an
administrative review on Yama Ribbons.\5\ On November 9, 2016, the
Department initiated a review of four companies: Huzhou BeiHeng, Huzhou
Siny, Huzhou Kingdom, and Huzhou Unifull.\6\ On May 31, 2017, the
Department extended the deadline for the preliminary results by a total
of 26 days until June 28, 2017.\7\ On June 28, 2017, the Department
extended the deadline for the preliminary results by an additional 14
days until July 12, 2017.\8\

Methodology
The Department is conducting this review in accordance with section
751(a)(1)(B) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). For a
full description of the methodology underlying our conclusions, see
Preliminary Decision Memorandum. This 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 https://access.trade.gov and in the Central Records Unit, room B8024 of the
main Department of Commerce building. In addition, a complete version
of the Preliminary Results Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly
on the Internet at https://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/. The
signed Preliminary Results Decision Memorandum and the electronic
versions of the Preliminary Decision Memorandum are identical in
content.
Preliminary Results of Review
The Department preliminarily finds that both Huzhou Kingdom and
Huzhou Unifull have failed to demonstrate eligibility for a separate
rate and, therefore, they are considered part of the PRC-wide entity.
The Department finds that Huzhou Kingdom did not submit a certification
of no sales, a separate rate application, or a separate rate
certification. With respect to Huzhou Unifull, the Department
preliminary finds there are no reviewable entries during the POR and,
thus, Huzhou Unifull has failed to demonstrate eligibility for a
separate rate. Both Avery Dennison and Huzhou Unifull submitted the
same CBP Form 7501 to indicate an entry of subject merchandise by
Huzhou Unifull. However, after examination, the Department determines
that the CBP Form 7501 does not correspond to a sale by Huzhou Unifull
and as such, found there are no reviewable entries of subject
merchandise during the POR.\10\

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Partial Rescission of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Department will rescind an
administrative review, in whole or in part, if a party that requested
the review withdraws its request within 90 days of the date of
publication of the notice of initiation of the requested review. Huzhou
BeiHeng and Huzhou Siny withdrew their respective requests for an
administrative review within 90 days of the date of publication of
Initiation Notice.\11\ Accordingly, the Department is rescinding this
review with respect to Huzhou BeiHeng and Huzhou Siny, in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1).\12\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\11\ See letter from Avery Dennison to the Department, Re:
``Narrow Woven Ribbons with Woven Selvedge from China: Withdrawal
from the Administrative Review,'' dated February 7, 2017.
\12\ See Appendix. As stated in Change in Practice in NME
Reviews, the Department no longer considers the non-market economy
(NME) entity as an exporter conditionally subject to administrative
reviews. See Antidumping Proceedings: Announcement of Change in
Department Practice for Respondent Selection in Antidumping Duty
Proceedings and Conditional Review of the Nonmarket Economy Entity
in NME Antidumping Duty Proceedings, 78 FR 65963 (November 4, 2013)
(Change in Practice in NME Reviews). The PRC-wide entity is not
subject to this administrative review because no interested party
requested a review of the entity. See Initiation Notice, 81 FR at
78778 (November 9, 2016).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Disclosure and Public Comment
Interested parties are invited to comment on the preliminary
results and may submit case briefs and/or written comments, filed
electronically using ACCESS, within 30 days of the date of publication
of this notice, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.309(c)(1)(ii). Rebuttal briefs,
limited to issues raised in the case briefs, will be due five days
after the due date for case briefs, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.309(d).
Parties who submit case or rebuttal briefs in this proceeding are

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), interested parties, who wish to
request a hearing, or to participate in a hearing if one is requested,
must submit a written request to the Assistant Secretary for
Enforcement and Compliance, U.S. Department of Commerce, filed
electronically using ACCESS. Electronically filed case briefs/written
comments and hearing requests must be received successfully in their
entirety by the Department's electronic records system, ACCESS, by 5:00

The party's name, address and telephone number; (2) the number of

in the hearing will be limited to those issues raised in the respective
case briefs. If a request for a hearing is made, parties will be
notified of the time and date of the hearing which will be held at the
U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue NW., Washington
DC 20230. Unless the deadline is extended pursuant to section
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2), the Department
intends to issue the final results of this administrative review,
including the results of its analysis of the issues raised in any
written briefs, not later than 120 days after the date of publication
of this notice, pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\13\ See 19 CFR 351.310(c).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Assessment Rates
Upon issuance of the final results, the Department will determine,
and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping
duties on all appropriate entries covered by this review.\14\ The
Department intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP 15 days
after the publication date of the final results of this review. For the
companies for which this review is rescinded, antidumping duties shall
be assessed at rates equal to the cash deposit of estimated antidumping
duties required at the time of entry, or withdrawal from warehouse, for
consumption, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(c)(l)(i). The Department
intends to issue appropriate assessment instructions directly to CBP 15
days after publication of this notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\14\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 exported by Huzhou Kingdom, the
cash deposit rate is the PRC-wide rate of 247.26 percent; (2) for
exports of merchandise exported by Huzhou Unifull, the cash deposit
rate is the PRC-wide rate of 247.26; (3) for previously investigated or
reviewed PRC and non-PRC exporters which are not under review in this
segment of the proceeding but which have separate rates, the cash
deposit rate will continue to be the exporter-specific rate published
for the most recent period; (4) for all PRC exporters of subject
merchandise that
[[Page 33061]]
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 (5) 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.
Notification to Importers
This notice also 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 duties prior to liquidation
of the relevant entries during this review period. Failure to comply
with this requirement could result in the Department's presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping duties.
We are issuing and publishing these results in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213.
Dated: July 12, 2017.
