SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant 

to section 906(a) of the Trade Sanctions 

Reform and Export Enhancement Act of 

2000 (TSRA) (22 U.S.C. 7205(a)), the 

Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) 

authorizes exports and reexports of 

agricultural commodities, as defined in 

part 772 of the Export Administration 

Regulations (EAR) (15 CFR parts 730– 

774), to Cuba. Requirements and 

procedures associated with such 

authorization are set forth in § 740.18 of 

the EAR (15 CFR 740.18). These are the 

only licensing procedures in the EAR 

currently in effect pursuant to the 

requirements of section 906(a) of TSRA. 

Under the provisions of section 906(c) 

of TSRA (22 U.S.C. 7205(c)), BIS must 

submit a biennial report to Congress on 

the operation of the licensing system 

implemented pursuant to section 906(a) 

for the preceding two-year period. This 

report must include the number and 

types of licenses applied for, the 

number and types of licenses approved, 

the average amount of time elapsed from 

the date of filing of a license application 

until the date of its approval, the extent 

to which the licensing procedures were 

effectively implemented, and a 

description of comments received from 

interested parties during a 30-day public 

comment period regarding the 

effectiveness of the licensing 

procedures. Consistent with TSRA’s 

requirements, BIS is currently preparing 

a biennial report on the operation of the 

licensing system for the two-year period 

from October 1, 2022 through 

September 30, 2024. 

Request for Comments 

By this notice, BIS requests public 

comments on the effectiveness of the 

licensing procedures for the export and 

reexport of agricultural commodities to 

Cuba set forth under § 740.18 of the 

EAR. Parties submitting comments are 

asked to be as specific as possible. All 

comments received by the close of the 

comment period will be considered by 

BIS in developing the report to 

Congress. 

All comments will be publicly 

available. Any information that the 

commenter does not wish to be made 

available to the public should not be 

submitted to BIS.

the Federal Advisory Committee Act

committee discussions and guidance 

regarding U.S. Government strategies 

and policies. 

The open session will be accessible

Narrow Woven Ribbons With Woven 

Selvedge From the People’s Republic 

of China: Final Results of 

Countervailing Duty Administrative 

Review; 2022 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of 

Commerce (Commerce) determines that 

certain producers/exporters of narrow 

woven ribbons with woven selvedge 

(ribbons) from the People’s Republic of 

China (China) received countervailable 

subsidies during the period January 1, 

2022, through December 31, 2022. 

DATES: Applicable October 16, 2024.

DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482–3642. 

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: 

Producer/exporter Subsidy rate 

(percent) 

Weifang Chenrui Textile Co., 

Ltd ..................................... 165.52 

Xiamen Lude Ribbons and 

Bows Co., Ltd ................... 165.52 

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. 

Ryan Majerus, 

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Policy and 

Negotiations, performing the non-exclusive 

functions and duties of the Assistant 

Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
