SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On June 10, 2024, Commerce published the Preliminary Results and 
invited interested parties to comment.\1\ We received no comments from 
interested parties on the Preliminary Results, and we have made no 
changes from the Preliminary Results. Accordingly, no decision 
memorandum accompanies this Federal Register notice.

    On July 22, 2024, Commerce tolled certain deadlines in this 
administrative proceeding by seven days.\2\ The deadline for the final 
results is now October 15, 2024. Commerce conducted this administrative 
review in accordance with section 751 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 
amended (the Act).

Scope of the Order

    The products covered by the order are ribbons from China. For a 
complete description of the scope of the order, see Preliminary 
Results.

Final Results of Review

    We received no comments from interested parties on the Preliminary 
Results and, therefore, have made no changes in the final results of 
this review. Accordingly, we continue to base the rate for the 
mandatory respondents (listed below) entirely on facts available.\3\ As 
a result, we determine that the following net countervailable subsidy 
rates exist for the period January 1, 2022, through December 31, 2022:

    \3\ See Preliminary Results, 89 FR at 48883.

                    Producer/exporter                        (percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Disclosure

    Normally, Commerce discloses to interested parties the calculations 
performed in connection with the final results of review within five 
days of a public announcement or, if there is no public announcement, 
within five days of the date of publication of the notice of final 
results in the Federal Register, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). 
However, because Commerce assigned subsidy rates based on adverse facts 
available to the companies listed above, there are no calculations to 
disclose.

Assessment Rates

    Consistent with section 751(a)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.212(b)(2), upon completion of the administrative review, Commerce 
shall determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall 
assess, countervailing duties on all appropriate entries covered by 
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

    In accordance with section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act, Commerce also 
intends to instruct CBP to collect cash deposits of estimated 
countervailing duties in the amounts shown for the companies listed 
above for 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, Commerce will 
instruct CBP to continue to collect cash deposits 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.

Administrative Protective Order (APO)

    This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to APO of 
their responsibility concerning the destruction of proprietary 
information disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 
351.305(a)(3). Timely written notification of the return or destruction 
of APO materials or conversion to judicial protective order is hereby 
requested. Failure to comply with the regulations and terms of an APO 
is a sanctionable violation.

Notification to Interested Parties

    We are issuing and publishing these final results in accordance 
with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: October 8, 2024.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Policy and Negotiations, performing the
