**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 *https://access.trade.gov.* In addition, a complete version of the Preliminary Decision Memorandum is available at *https://access.trade.gov/public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx.*
**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.
**Preliminary Results of Review**
Commerce preliminarily determines that the following estimated weighted-average dumping margin exists for the period September 1, 2022, through August 31, 2023:
| Producer or exporter | Weighted- |
| --- | --- |
| Hao Shyang Ind. Co. Ltd | 137.20 |
| Lung Che Ribbons Enterprises Co. Ltd | 137.20 |
**Disclosure**

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.

As provided under 19 CFR 351.309(c)(2) and (d)(2), in prior proceedings we have encouraged interested parties to provide an executive summary of their brief that should be limited to five pages total, including footnotes.

**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).
