SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

On November 6, 2015, the Commission determined that it should proceed to full reviews in the subject five-year reviews pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1675(c)). The Commission found that the domestic interested party group response to its notice of institution (80 FR 46048, August 3, 2015) was adequate and that the respondent interested party group with respect to the review on subject imports from Taiwan was adequate, and decided to conduct a full review of the antidumping duty order on narrow woven ribbons with woven selvedge from Taiwan. Although the Commission received a response to its notice of institution from Chinese respondent interested parties, the Commission found that the respondent interested party group response with respect to the reviews on subject imports from China was inadequate. However, the Commission determined to conduct full reviews concerning the orders on narrow woven ribbons with woven selvedge from China to promote administrative efficiency in light of its decision to conduct a full review with respect to the review on subject imports from Taiwan. A record of the Commissioners' votes, the Commission's statement on adequacy, and any individual Commissioner's statements will be available from the Office of the Secretary and at the Commission's Web site.

Authority: These reviews are being conducted under authority of title VII of the Tariff Act of 1930; this notice is published pursuant to section 207.62 of the Commission's rules.
