respondents’ data as data stewards 

under Title 13. Federal Register Notice 

‘‘Soliciting Feedback from Users on 

2020 Census Data Products,’’ July 19, 

2018 (Vol. 83, pp. 34111—34112, FR 

Doc No. 2018–15458) was published 

with a 60-day comment period. It 

requested feedback from users on 

specific tables and geographic detail for 

decennial census products such as 

Summary File 1, Summary File 2, and 

the Demographic Profile. The last day to 

provide comment on the notice was 

September 17, 2018. Subsequently, this 

notice was reopened for an additional 

60-day comment period on October 9, 

2018 (Vol. 83, p. 50636, FR Doc No. 

2018–21837). The last day to provide 

comments on this notice was November 

8, 2018. The final suite of 2020 Census 

data products will be determined in the 

summer of 2019. 

P. Archiving 

The Archiving (ARC) Operation 

performs the following functions: 

• Coordinates storage of the materials 

and data and provides records deemed 

permanent as the official data of the 

2020 Census, including files containing 

the individual responses to the 2020 

Census, to the National Archives and 

Records Administration (NARA). 

• Provides similar files to the Census 

Bureau’s National Processing Center in 

Indiana to use as source materials to 

conduct the Age Search Service. 

• Stores data to cover in-house needs. 

Q. Federally Affiliated Count Overseas 

The Federally Affiliated Count 

Overseas operation obtains counts by 

home state of United States military and 

federal civilian employees who are 

stationed or assigned overseas and their 

dependents living with them. For the 

2020 Census, overseas is defined as 

anywhere outside the 50 states, the 

District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and 

the Island Areas: American Samoa, 

Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana 

Islands, Guam, and the United States 

Virgin Islands. Counts are submitted 

from Federal agencies and the 

Department of Defense (Defense 

Manpower Data Command) through a 

Census Bureau secure server and are 

used to allocate the federally affiliated 

population living overseas to their home 

state for the purposes of apportioning 

seats in the U.S. House of 

Representatives. If military and federal 

civilian employees of the U.S. 

government are deployed overseas 

while stationed or assigned within the 

U.S., they are counted at their U.S. 

residence where they live or sleep most 

of the time using administrative data 

provided by Federal agencies and the 

Department of Defense. See Section K 

for more info on how we count stateside 

military personnel. 

R. Island Areas Censuses 

The purpose of the Island Areas 

Censuses (IAC) operation is to 

enumerate all residents of American 

Samoa, the Commonwealth of the 

Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI), 

Guam, and the U.S. Virgin Islands; 

process and tabulate the collected data; 

and disseminate data products to the 

public. All data collection activities for 

the IAC will rely on the use of paper 

questionnaires, paper maps, and paper 

address registers to record the physical 

addresses of housing units and group 

quarters. The IAC questionnaire will 

leverage the American Community 

Survey questionnaire with minor 

wording changes in order to take into 

account the Island Areas local 

governments’ concerns, where possible. 

Enumerators will list the addresses 

using paper address registers. Once the 

addresses have been listed, enumerators 

will visit every living quarter to conduct 

interviews with household members 

and follow up as necessary. The IAC 

will perform a clerical review of all 

completed questionnaires for 

completeness and data consistency, a 

reinterview for a sample of 

questionnaires, and an independent 

address check. The response data will 

be processed through the Decennial 

Response Processing System. Data 

products will include counts of the 

population and housing units, data 

profiles, subject tables, ranking tables, 

and supplemental tables. 

S. Evaluations and Experiments 

The Census Bureau is not currently 

planning a separate package for the 

Evaluations and Experiments program, 

as has been done in past censuses. For 

the 2020 Census, these evaluations and 

experiments will be described either as 

Substantive Changes to this package, to 

the Census Bureau’s Post-Enumeration 

Survey Independent Listing and QC 

OMB package, or within the Generic 

Clearance for Decennial Census Field 

Tests and Evaluations, covered under 

OMB approval #0607–0971. 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

Households. 

Frequency: Once every 10 years. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory. 

Legal Authority: Title 13, United 

States Code, Section 141.

this notice. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Commerce is conducting an 

administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order on crystalline 

silicon photovoltaic cells, whether or 

not assembled into modules (solar 

cells), from the People’s Republic of 

China (China), and initiated the review 

on February 23, 2018.1 The POR is 

December 1, 2016, through November 

30, 2017. On July 27, 2018, we 

rescinded the review with respect to 

Changzhou Trina Solar Energy Co., Ltd./ 

Trina Solar (Changzhou) Science and 

Technology Co., Ltd./Yancheng Trina 

Solar Energy Technology Co., Ltd./ 

Changzhou Trina Solar Yabang Energy 

Co., Ltd./Turpan Trina Solar Energy Co., 

Ltd./Hubei Trina Solar Energy Co., Ltd.2

Scope of the Order 

The merchandise covered by the order 

is crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells, 

and modules, laminates, and panels, 

consisting of crystalline silicon 

photovoltaic cells, whether or not 

partially or fully assembled into other 

products, including, but not limited to, 

modules, laminates, panels and building 

integrated materials.3 Merchandise 

covered by this order is classifiable 

under subheadings 8501.61.0000, 

8507.20.80, 8541.40.6015, 8541.40.6020, 

8541.40.6025, 8541.40.6030, 

8541.40.6035, 8541.40.6045, and 

8501.31.8000 of the Harmonized Tariff 

Schedule of the United States 

(HTSUS).4 Although the HTSUS 

subheadings are provided for 

convenience and customs purposes, our 

written description of the scope of the 

order is dispositive. 

Preliminary Determination of No 

Shipments 

We preliminarily determine that there 

is no evidence calling into question the 

no shipment claims of the following 

companies: Anji DaSol Solar Energy 

Science & Technology Co., Ltd.; BYD 

(Shangluo) Industrial Co., Ltd.; Jiawei 

Solarchina Co., Ltd.; LERRI Solar 

Technology Co., Ltd.; Ningbo ETDZ 

Holdings, Ltd.; Sunpreme Solar 

Technology (Jiaxing) Co., Ltd.; and, 

Toenergy Technology Hangzhou Co., 

Ltd. We found that Wuxi Suntech Power 

Co., Ltd/Luoyang Suntech Power Co., 

Ltd. and Zhejiang ERA Solar 

Technology Co., Ltd., which claimed no 

exports, sales or entries of subject 

merchandise during the POR did, in 

fact, sell subject merchandise to the 

United States during the POR. Neither 

of these companies filed a separate rate 

application or certification and thus 

they have not established their 

entitlement to a separate rate in this 

review. For additional information 

regarding this preliminary 

determination, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum. 

Preliminary Affiliation and Single 

Entity Determination 

We preliminarily determine that 

Chint Energy (Haining) Co., Ltd., Chint 

Solar (Jiuquan) Co., Ltd., and Chint 

Solar (Hong Kong) Company Limited are 

affiliated with Chint Solar (Zhejiang) 

Co., Ltd. (CSZ) (collectively, Chint 

Solar), pursuant to section 771(33)(E) of 

the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 

Act), and that all of these companies 

should be treated as a single entity 

pursuant to 19 CFR 351.401(f)(1)–(2). 

For additional information, see the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum. 

We also preliminarily determine that 

Risen (Wuhai) New Energy Co., Ltd., 

Zhejiang Twinsel Electronic Technology 

Co., Ltd., Risen (Luoyang) New Energy 

Co., Ltd., Jiujiang Shengchao Xinye 

Technology Co., Ltd., Jiujiang 

Shengzhao Xinye Trade Co., Ltd. 

Ruichang Branch, and Risen Energy 

(HongKong) Co., Ltd. are affiliated with 

Risen Energy Co., Ltd. (Risen Energy) 

(collectively, Risen) pursuant to sections 

771(33)(E) and (F) of the Act and all of 

these companies should be treated as a 

single entity pursuant to 19 CFR 

351.401(f)(1)–(2). For additional 

information, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum and Risen 

Collapsing Memorandum.5

Use of Partial Facts Available (FA) and 

Partial Adverse Facts Available (AFA) 

Certain unaffiliated tollers of inputs 

used to produce subject merchandise, as 

well as certain unaffiliated suppliers of 

solar cells and solar modules failed to 

provide factors of production (FOP) data 

for use in calculating the weightedaverage dumping margins of Risen and 

Chint Solar. We preliminarily determine 

that it is appropriate to apply AFA, 

pursuant to section 776(a) and (b) of the 

Act, with respect to the unreported 

FOPs for purchased solar cells and solar 

modules. These unreported FOPs for 

solar cells and solar modules represent 

a material amount of necessary FOP 

information. However, in accordance 

with section 776(a)(1) of the Act, 

Commerce is applying facts available 

with respect to the unreported FOPs for 

the inputs used by the unaffiliated 

tollers. For details regarding these 

determinations, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum and the Risen 

and Chint Solar Unreported FOP 

Memoranda.6

Separate Rates 

Commerce preliminarily determines 

that the information placed on the 

record by Risen and Chint Solar, as well 

as by the other companies listed in the 

rate table in the ‘‘Preliminary Results of 

Review’’ section below, demonstrates 

that these companies are entitled to 

separate rate status. Commerce 

calculated rates for the mandatory 

respondents, Risen and Chint Solar, that 

are not zero, de minimis, or based 

entirely on facts available and 

calculated a rate for the companies to 

which it granted separate rates status, 

but which it did not individually 

examine, as described in the Separate 

Rate Calculation Memorandum 7 and the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum. 

Commerce preliminarily determines 

that the following companies have not 

demonstrated their entitlement to 

separate rates status because they did 

not file a separate rate application or 

certification with Commerce: 

1. De-Tech Trading Limited HK 

2. Dongguan Sunworth Solar Energy 

Co., Ltd.

Commerce is preliminarily treating 

these companies as part of the Chinawide entity. Because no party requested 

a review of the China-wide entity, the 

entity is not under review and the 

entity’s rate (i.e., 238.95 percent) is not 

subject to change.8 For additional 

information regarding Commerce’s 

separate rates determinations, see the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum. 

Methodology 

Commerce is conducting this 

administrative review in accordance 

with section 751(a)(1)(B) of the Act. 

Commerce calculated export and 

constructed export prices in accordance 

with section 772 of the Act. Because 

Commerce has determined that China is 

a non-market economy country,9 within 

the meaning of section 771(18) of the 

Act, Commerce calculated NV in 

accordance with section 773(c) of the 

Act. 

For a full description of the 

methodology underlying the 

preliminary results of this review, see 

the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. 

The Preliminary Decision Memorandum 

is a public document and is made 

available to the public 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 and is 

available to all parties in the Central 

Records Unit, room B8024 of the main 

Department of Commerce building. In 

addition, a complete version of the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum can

Unless otherwise extended, 

Commerce intends to issue the final 

results of this administrative review, 

which will include the results of its 

analysis of issues raised in any briefs, 

within 120 days of publication of these 

preliminary results of review, pursuant 

to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act. 

Assessment Rates 

Upon issuance of the final results of 

this review, Commerce will determine, 

and U.S. Customs and Border Protection 

(CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties 

on all appropriate entries covered by 

this review.17 Commerce intends to 

issue assessment instructions to CBP 15 

days after the publication date of the 

final results of this review. For each 

individually examined respondent in 

this review whose weighted-average 

dumping margin in the final results of 

review is not zero or de minimis (i.e., 

less than 0.5 percent), Commerce 

intends to calculate importer-specific 

assessment rates, in accordance with 19 

CFR 351.212(b)(1).18 Where the 

respondent reported reliable entered 

values, Commerce intends to calculate 

importer-specific ad valorem 

assessment rates by aggregating the 

amount of dumping calculated for all 

U.S. sales to the importer and dividing 

this amount by the total entered value 

of the sales to the importer.19 Where the 

respondent did not report entered 

values, Commerce will calculate 

importer-specific assessment rates by 

dividing the amount of dumping for 

reviewed sales to the importer by the 

total sales quantity associated with 

those transactions. Commerce will 

calculate an estimated ad valorem 

importer-specific assessment rate to 

determine whether the per-unit rate is 

de minimis, however, Commerce will 

direct CBP to assess importer-specific 

assessment rates where the entered 

value was not reported based on the 

resulting per-unit rates.20 Where an 

importer-specific ad valorem 

assessment rate is not zero or de 

minimis, Commerce will instruct CBP to 

collect the appropriate duties at the time 

of liquidation. Where either the 

respondent’s weighted average dumping 

margin is zero or de minimis, or an 

importer-specific ad valorem 

assessment rate is zero or de minimis, 

Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate 

appropriate entries without regard to 

antidumping duties.21

Pursuant to Commerce’s refinement to 

its practice, for sales that were not 

reported in the U.S. sales database 

submitted by an exporter individually 

examined during this review, Commerce 

will instruct CBP to liquidate such 

merchandise at the rate for the Chinawide entity.22 Additionally, where 

Commerce determines that an exporter 

under review had no shipments of the 

subject merchandise, any suspended 

entries that entered under that 

exporter’s CBP case number will be 

liquidated at the rate for the China-wide 

entity. 

In accordance with section 

751(a)(2)(C) of the Act, the final results 

of this review shall be the basis for the 

assessment of antidumping duties on 

entries of merchandise covered by the 

final results of this review and for future 

deposits of estimated antidumping 

duties, where applicable. 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

Commerce will instruct CBP to 

require a cash deposit for antidumping 

duties equal to the weighted-average 

amount by which the NV exceeds U.S. 

price. The following cash deposit 

requirements will be effective for 

shipments of the subject merchandise 

from China entered, or withdrawn from 

warehouse, for consumption on or after 

the publication date of this notice, as 

provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the 

Act: (1) For the exporters listed above, 

the cash deposit rate will be equal to the 

weighted-average dumping margin 

established in the final results of this 

review (except, if the rate is de minimis 

(i.e., less than 0.5 percent), then the cash 

deposit rate will be zero for that 

exporter); (2) for previously investigated 

or reviewed Chinese and non-Chinese 

exporters not listed above that have 

separate rates, the cash deposit rate will 

continue to be the exporter-specific rate 

published for the most recently 

completed segment of this proceeding; 

(3) for all Chinese exporters of subject 

merchandise which have not been 

found to be entitled to a separate rate, 

the cash deposit rate will be the rate for 

the China-wide entity (i.e., 238.95 

percent 23) and (4) for all non-Chinese 

exporters of subject merchandise that 

have not received their own rate, the 

cash deposit rate will be the rate 

applicable to China exporter that 

supplied that non-Chinese exporter. 

These deposit requirements, when 

imposed, shall remain in effect until 

further notice. 

Notification to Importers 

This notice also serves as a 

preliminary reminder to importers of 

their responsibility under 19 CFR 

351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate

Review and Preliminary Determination 

of No Shipments; 2017–2018 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance,

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce 

(Commerce) preliminarily finds that 

certain companies made sales of subject 

merchandise at less than normal value 

during the period of review (POR), April 

1, 2017, through March 31, 2018. We 

invite interested parties to comment on 

these preliminary results. 

DATES: Applicable December 28, 2018.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Scope of the Order 

The products covered by the order 

include drawn stainless steel sinks. 

Imports of subject merchandise are 

currently classified under the 

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States (HTSUS) subheadings 

7324.10.0000 and 7324.10.0010. 

Although the HTSUS subheadings are 

provided for convenience and customs 

purposes, the written description of the 

scope of the order is dispositive.1

Preliminary Determination of No 

Shipments 

Based on our analysis of U.S. Customs 

and Border Production (CBP) 

information and information provided 

by the companies, we preliminarily 

determine that Zhuhai KOHLER Kitchen 

& Bathroom Products Co., Ltd. (Zhuhai 

KOHLER) and Yuyao Afa Kitchenware 

Co., Ltd. (Yuyao Afa) did not have any 

reviewable transactions during the POR. 

In addition, Commerce finds that, 

consistent with its assessment practice 

in non-market economy (NME) cases, it 

is appropriate not to rescind the review 

in part in these circumstances, but to 

complete the review with respect to 

these three companies and issue 

appropriate instructions to CBP based 

on the final results.2 For additional 

information regarding this 

determination, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum. 

With respect to Zhongshan Superte 

Kitchenware Co., Ltd. (Superte), we 

obtained information from CBP 

indicating that Superte had shipments 

during the POR, contradicting its no 

shipments certification. Thus, we 

preliminarily determine that Superte is 

part of the China-wide entity, and we 

will complete the review with respect to 

this company. For a full discussion of 

this determination, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum. 

Methodology 

Commerce is conducting this review 

in accordance with section 751(a)(1)(B) 

of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 

(the Act). Because Feidong Import and 

Export Co., Ltd. (Feidong); Xinhe 

Stainless Steel Products Co., Ltd. 

(Xinhe); Jiangmen New Star Hi-Tech 

Enterprise Ltd. (New Star); and Ningbo 

Afa Kitchen and Bath Co., Ltd. (Ningbo 

Afa) did not participate in this segment 

of the proceeding, we preliminarily 

determine that they are ineligible for a 

separate rate and are part of the People’s 

Republic of China (China)-wide entity, 

subject to the China-wide entity rate of 

76.45 percent. 

For a full description of the 

methodology underlying our 

conclusions, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum. 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, and to all 

parties in the Central Records Unit, 

room B8024 of the main Department of 

Commerce building. In addition, a 

complete version of the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum can be accessed 

directly at http://enforcement.trade.gov/ 

frn/. The signed and the electronic 

versions of the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum are identical in content. 

A list of topics included in the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum is 

provided as an appendix to this notice. 

Preliminary Results of Review 

Commerce finds that the four 

mandatory respondents have not 

established eligibility for a separate rate 

and are considered to be part of Chinawide entity for these preliminary 

results. Additionally, because 

Guangdong G–Top Import & Export Co., 

Ltd. (Guangdong G–Top) and Jiangmen 

Pioneer Import & Export Co., Ltd. 

(Jiangmen Pioneer) did not submit 

separate rate applications or 

certifications by the deadline 

established in the Initiation Notice or 

make a claim that they had no 

shipments of subject merchandise 

during the POR, we find that these 

companies failed to establish their 

entitlement to a separate rate and, 

therefore, remain part of the China-wide
