Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), Commerce will rescind an
administrative review, in whole or in part, if the parties that
requested a review withdraw the request within 90 days of the date of
publication of the notice of initiation. We received a timely
withdrawal of the request for review from Berwick Offray LLC including
its wholly-owned subsidiary, Lion Ribbon Company LLC (the petitioner)
for 136 companies, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1).\4\ Because the
withdrawal request was timely filed and
[[Page 48883]]
no other parties requested a review of these companies, in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), Commerce is rescinding this administrative
review with respect to the companies listed in appendix II.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ See Petitioner's Letter, ``Withdrawal of Administrative
Review Request as to Certain Companies,'' dated February 8, 2024.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Preliminary Results of Review
We preliminarily determine the following net countervailable
subsidy rates for the period January 1, 2022, through December 31,
2022:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Subsidy rate
Producer/exporter (percent ad
valorem)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weifang Chenrui Textile Co., Ltd........................ 165.52
Xiamen Lude Ribbons & Bows Co., Ltd..................... 165.52
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Disclosure and Public Comment
Normally, Commerce discloses its calculations and analysis
performed in connection with the preliminary results to interested
parties within five days of its public announcement, or if there is no
public announcement, within five days of the date of publication of
this notice, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). However, because
Commerce preliminarily assigned subsidy rates based on AFA to Weifang
Chenrui Textile Co., Ltd. and Xiamen Lude Ribbons & Bows Co., Ltd.,
there are no calculations to disclose.
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.309(c), interested parties may submit case
briefs to Commerce no later than 30 days after the date of publication
of these preliminary results of review.\5\ Rebuttal briefs, limited to
issues raised in the case briefs, may be filed not later than five days
after the date for filing case briefs.\6\ Interested parties who submit
case or rebuttal briefs in this proceeding must submit: (1) a table of
contents listing each issue; and (2) a table of authorities.\7\ All
briefs must be filed electronically using ACCESS. An electronically
filed document must be received successfully in its entirety in ACCESS
by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the established deadline.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ See 19 CFR 351.309(c)(1)(ii).
\6\ See 19 CFR 351.309(d); see also Administrative Protective
Order, Service, and Other Procedures in Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Proceedings, 88 FR 67069, 67077 (September 29,
2023) (APO and Service Final Rule).
\7\ See 19 CFR 351.309(c)(2) and (d)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
As provided under 19 CFR 351.309(c)(2) and (d)(2), in prior
proceedings we have encouraged interested parties to provide a public
executive summary of their brief that should be limited to five pages
total, including footnotes. In this review, we instead request that
interested parties provide at the beginning of their briefs a public,
executive summary for each issue raised in their briefs.\8\ Further, we
request that interested parties limit their public executive summary of
each issue to no more than 450 words, not including citations. We
intend to use the public executive summaries as the basis of the
comment summaries included in the issues and decision memorandum that
will accompany the final results in this administrative review. We
request that interested parties include footnotes for relevant
citations in the public 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).\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\8\ We use the term ``issue'' here to describe an argument that
Commerce would normally address in a comment of the Issues and
Decision Memorandum.
\9\ See APO and Service Final Rule.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), interested parties who wish to
request a hearing must submit a written request to the Assistant
Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance, filed electronically via
ACCESS. Requests should contain: (1) the party's name, address, and
telephone number; (2) the number of participants; and (3) a list of
issues to be discussed. Issues raised in the hearing will be limited to
those raised in the respective case briefs. If a request for a hearing
is made, Commerce will inform parties of the scheduled date for the
hearing.
Final Results of Review
Unless extended, we intend to issue the final results of this
administrative review, which will include the results of our analysis
of the issues raised in the case briefs, within 120 days of publication
of these preliminary results in the Federal Register, pursuant to
section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(1).
Assessment Rates
In accordance with section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act, upon issuance
of the final results, Commerce will determine, and U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, countervailing duties on all
appropriate entries covered by this review. We intend to issue
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).
For the companies listed in Appendix II for which we are rescinding
this review, we will instruct CBP to assess countervailing duties on
all appropriate entries at a rate equal to the cash deposit of
estimated countervailing duties required at the time of entry, or
withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption, during the period January
1, 2022, through December 31, 2022, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(c)(l)(i). Commerce intends to issue appropriate assessment
instructions directly to CBP no earlier than 35 days after the date of
publication of this notice in the Federal Register.
Cash Deposit Requirements
In accordance with section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act, Commerce also
intends, upon publication of the final results, to instruct CBP to
collect cash deposits of the estimated countervailing duties in the
amounts calculated in the final results of this review for the
companies listed above with regard to shipments of subject merchandise
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the
date of publication of the final results of this review. For all non-
reviewed firms, CBP will continue to collect cash deposits of estimated
countervailing duties at the all-others rate or the most recent
company-specific rate applicable to the company, as appropriate. These
cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until
further notice.
Notification to Interested Parties
These preliminary results and notice are issued and published in
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR
351.213 and 351.221(b)(4).
Dated: June 3, 2024.
