UNITED STATES INTERNATIONAL 

TRADE COMMISSION 

[Investigation Nos. 701–TA–467 and 731– 

TA–1164–1165 (Preliminary)] 

Narrow Woven Ribbons With Woven 

Selvedge From China and Taiwan 

Determinations 

On the basis of the record 1 developed 

in the subject investigations, the United 

States International Trade Commission 

(Commission) determines, pursuant to 

sections 703(a) and 733(a) of the Tariff 

Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1671b(a) and 19 

U.S.C. 1673b(a)) (the Act), that there is 

a reasonable indication that an industry 

in the United States is threatened with 

material injury by reason of imports 

from China of narrow woven ribbons 

with woven selvedge, primarily 

provided for in subheading 5806.32 of 

the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States, that are alleged to be 

subsidized by the Government of China, 

and by imports of such merchandise 

from China and Taiwan that are alleged 

to be sold in the United States at less 

than fair value (LTFV). 

Pursuant to section 207.18 of the 

Commission’s rules, the Commission 

also gives notice of the commencement 

of the final phase of its investigations. 

The Commission will issue a final phase 

notice of scheduling, which will be 

published in the Federal Register as 

provided in section 207.21 of the 

Commission’s rules, upon notice from 

the Department of Commerce 

(Commerce) of affirmative preliminary 

determinations in these investigations 

under sections 703(b) and 733(b) of the 

Act, or, if the preliminary 

determinations are negative, upon 

notice of affirmative final 

determinations in those investigations 

under sections 705(a) and 735(a) of the 

Act. Parties that filed entries of 

appearance in the preliminary phase of 

the investigations need not enter a 

separate appearance for the final phase 

of the investigations. Industrial users, 

and, if the merchandise under 

investigation is sold at the retail level, 

representative consumer organizations, 

have the right to appear as parties in 

Commission antidumping and 

countervailing duty investigations. The 

Secretary will prepare a public service 

list containing the names and addresses 

of all persons, or their representatives, 

who are parties to the investigations. 

Background 

On July 9, 2009, a petition was filed 

with the Commission and Commerce by 

Berwick Offray LLC and its wholly 

owned subsidiary Lion Ribbon 

Company, Inc., Berwick, PA, alleging 

that an industry in the United States is 

materially injured and threatened with 

material injury by reason of subsidized 

imports of narrow woven ribbons with 

woven selvedge from China and by 

imports of such merchandise from 

China and Taiwan sold in the United 

States at less than fair value. 

Accordingly, effective July 9, 2009, the 

Commission instituted countervailing 

duty investigation No. 701–TA–467 and 

antidumping duty investigations Nos. 

731–TA–1164–1165 (Preliminary). 

Notice of the institution of the 

Commission’s investigations and of a 

public conference to be held in 

connection therewith was given by 

posting copies of the notice in the Office 

of the Secretary, U.S. International 

Trade Commission, Washington, DC, 

and by publishing the notice in the 

Federal Register of July 15, 2009 (74 FR 

34362). The conference was held in 

Washington, DC, on July 30, 2009, and 

all persons who requested the 

opportunity were permitted to appear in 

person or by counsel. 

The Commission transmitted its 

determinations in these investigations to 

the Secretary of Commerce on August 

24, 2009. The views of the Commission 

are contained in USITC Publication 

4099 (August 2009), entitled Narrow 

Woven Ribbons with Woven Selvedge 

from China and Taiwan: Investigation 

Nos. 701–TA–467 and 731–TA–1164– 

1165 (Preliminary). 

By order of the Commission. 

Issued September 1, 2009.

Secretary to the Commission.
