SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On September 1, 2010, Commerce published in the Federal Register the antidumping duty order on ribbons from Taiwan. On September 6, 2023, Commerce published in the Federal Register a notice of opportunity to request an administrative review of the Order for the POR. On November 15, 2023, based on timely requests for review by Berwick Offray LLC and its wholly-owned subsidiary Lion Ribbon Company, LLC (the petitioners), and in accordance with 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i), we initiated an administrative review of the Order covering 59 exporters and/or producers. On January 26, 2024, the petitioners withdrew their request for an administrative review with respect to all companies for which Commerce initiated a review other than Hao Shyang Ind. Co. Ltd. (Hao Shyang) and Lung Che Ribbons Enterprises Co. Ltd. (Lung Che). On May 10, 2024, Commerce extended the time period for issuing the preliminary results of this review until September 27, 2024. On July 22, 2024, Commerce tolled certain deadlines in this administrative proceeding by seven days. The deadline for the preliminary results is now October 4, 2024. For a complete description of the events that followed the initiation of this review, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.

Methodology
Commerce is conducting this review in accordance with sections 751(a)(1)(B) and (2) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). Pursuant to sections 776(a) and (b) of the Act, Commerce preliminarily relied entirely upon facts otherwise available with adverse inferences for Hao Shyang and Lung Che. For a complete description of the methodology underlying our conclusions, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. A list of topics discussed in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum is attached in Appendix I of this notice. The Preliminary Decision Memorandum is a public document and is on file electronically via Enforcement and Compliance's Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS). ACCESS is available to registered users at https://access.trade.gov. In addition, a complete version of the Preliminary Decision Memorandum is available at https://access.trade.gov/public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx.
Rescission of Review, in Part
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), Commerce will rescind an administrative review, in whole or in part, if a party who requested the review withdraws the request within 90 days of the date of publication of the notice of initiation of the requested review. On January 26, 2024, the petitioners timely withdrew their request for an administrative review with respect to all companies for which a review was requested other than Hao Shyang and Lung Che. Accordingly, because no other parties requested a review of these companies, we are rescinding this administrative review, in part, with respect to the 57 companies listed in Appendix II. The administrative review remains active with respect to the mandatory respondents, Hao Shyang and Lung Che.
