regarding the reimbursement of 

antidumping and/or countervailing 

duties prior to liquidation of the 

relevant entries during this POR. Failure

countervailing duties has occurred and 

the subsequent assessment of double 

antidumping duties, and/or increase in 

the amount of antidumping duties by 

the amount of the countervailing duties.

International Trade Commission (ITC) 

that revocation of the antidumping duty 

(AD) order and countervailing duty 

(CVD) order on certain plastic 

decorative ribbon (plastic ribbon) from 

China would likely lead to the 

continuation or recurrence of dumping, 

and countervailable subsidies, and

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On March 22, 2019, Commerce 

published in the Federal Register the 

AD and CVD orders on plastic ribbon 

from China.1 On February 1, 2024, the 

ITC instituted,2 and Commerce 

initiated,3 the first sunset review of the 

Orders, pursuant to section 751(c) of the 

Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). 

As a result of its review, Commerce 

determined that revocation of the 

Orders would likely lead to the 

continuation or recurrence of dumping 

and countervailable subsidies, and 

therefore, notified the ITC of the 

magnitude of the margins of dumping 

and subsidy rates likely to prevail 

should the Orders be revoked.4

On September 11, 2024, the ITC 

published its determination, pursuant to 

sections 751(c) and 752(a) of the Act, 

that revocation of the Orders would 

likely lead to continuation or recurrence 

of material injury to an industry in the 

United States within a reasonably 

foreseeable time.5

Scope of the Orders 

The merchandise covered by the 

Orders is certain plastic decorative 

ribbon from China. For a complete 

description of the scope of the Orders, 

see the appendix to this notice. 

Continuation of the Orders 

As a result of the determinations by 

Commerce and the ITC that revocation 

of the Orders would likely lead to 

continuation or recurrence of dumping, 

countervailable subsidies, and material 

injury to an industry in the United 

States, pursuant to section 751(d)(2) of 

the Act, Commerce hereby orders the 

continuation of the Orders. U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection will 

continue to collect AD and CVD cash 

deposits at the rates in effect at the time 

of entry for all imports of subject 

merchandise. 

The effective date of the continuation 

of the Orders will be September 11, 

2024.6 Pursuant to section 751(c)(2) of 

the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(c)(2), 

Commerce intends to initiate the next 

five-year reviews of the Orders not later 

than 30 days prior to fifth anniversary 

of the date of the last determination by 

the ITC.

iridescent finishes. 

Subject merchandise includes ‘‘pull-bows’’ 

an assemblage of ribbons connected to one 

another, folded flat, and equipped with a

each other where notched, and which the 

end user forms into a bow by separating and 

spreading the loops circularly around the 

notches, which form the center of the bow. 

Subject merchandise includes ribbons that

Commerce (Commerce) determines that 

the sole producer and/or exporter 

subject to this new shipper review 

(NSR) of the antidumping duty (AD) 

order on stainless steel bar (SS Bar) from 

India, Welspun Specialty Solutions 

Limited (Welspun), made bona fide sale 

transactions that were not made below 

normal value (NV). The period of review 

(POR) is February 1, 2023, through July 

31, 2023. 

DATES: Applicable October 24, 2024.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On February 21, 1995, Commerce 

published in the Federal Register the 

AD order on SS Bar from India.1 On 

August 13, 2024, Commerce published 

the Preliminary Results of this NSR, 

wherein we determined that Welspun’s 

sales were bona fide transactions and 

were not made below NV.2 We invited 

interested parties to comment on the 

Preliminary Results.3 No interested 

parties submitted comments. 

Accordingly, Commerce made no 

changes to the Preliminary Results and 

no decision memorandum accompanies 

this notice. On July 22, 2024, Commerce 

tolled certain deadlines in this 

administrative proceeding by seven 

days.4 The deadline for the final results 

is now October 30, 2024. Commerce 

conducted this review in accordance 

with section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 

1930, as amended (the Act). 

Scope of the Order 5

The products covered by the Order 

are SS Bar. A full description of the 

scope of the Order is provided in the 

Preliminary Results.6

Final Results of Review 

We received no comments on the 

Preliminary Results and, therefore, have 

made no changes for the final results of 

this NSR. Accordingly, Commerce 

determines that the following weightedaverage dumping margin exists for the 

POR February 1, 2023, through July 31, 

2023: 

Producer/exporter 

Weightedaverage 

dumping 

margin 

(percent) 

Welspun Specialty Solutions 

Limited ..................................... 0.00 

Disclosure 

Because Commerce received no 

comments on the Preliminary Results, 

we have not modified our analysis, and 

no decision memorandum accompanies 

this Federal Register notice. We are 

adopting the Preliminary Results as the 

final results of this review.7

Consequently, there are no new 

calculations to disclose in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.224(b) for these final 

results. 

Assessment Rates 

Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the 

Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b), Commerce 

has determined, and U.S. Customs and 

Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, 

antidumping duties on all appropriate 

entries of subject merchandise in 

accordance with the final results of this 

NSR. We intend to instruct CBP to apply 

the importer-specific ad valorem 

assessment rates we calculated for the 

Preliminary Results on the basis of the 

ratio of the total amount of dumping 

calculated for each importer’s examined 

sales and the total entered value of those 

same sales in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.212(b)(1).8 If the importer-specific 

assessment rate is zero or de minimis, 

then Commerce will instruct CBP to 

liquidate such entries without regard to 

antidumping duties. 

For entries of subject merchandise 

during the POR produced by Welspun, 

for which it did not know that its 

merchandise was destined for the 

United States, we will instruct CBP to 

liquidate unreviewed entries at the allothers rate (i.e., 12.45 percent) 9 if there 

is no rate for the intermediate 

company(ies) involved in the 

transaction. 

Commerce intends to issue 

assessment instructions to CBP no 

earlier than 35 days after the date of 

publication of these final results 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 

this notice for all shipments of SS Bar 

from India entered, or withdrawn from 

warehouse, for consumption on or after 

the date of publication as provided by 

section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) for 

subject merchandise produced and 

exported by Welspun, no cash deposit 

will be required; 10 (2) for subject 

merchandise exported, but not 

produced by Welspun, the cash deposit 

rate will be the producer’s rate or the 

all-others rate (i.e., 12.45 percent) 11 if 

the producer does not have its own rate; 

(3) for subject merchandise produced, 

but not exported by Welspun, the cash 

deposit rate will be the rate applicable 

to the exporter, or the all-others rate if 

the exporter does not have its own rate. 

These cash deposit requirements, when 

imposed, shall remain in effect until 

further notice.
