SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Established in 2005, the U.S.-India CEO 

Forum brings together leaders of the 

respective business communities of the 

United States and India to discuss 

issues of mutual interest, particularly 

ways to strengthen the economic and 

commercial ties between the two 

countries, and to communicate their 

joint recommendations to the U.S. and 

Indian governments. 

The Forum has U.S. and Indian public 

and private sector co-chairs. The 

Secretary of Commerce serves as a 

public sector co-chair. Other senior U.S. 

Government officials may also 

participate in the Forum. 

The Forum includes U.S. and Indian 

private sector members, who are 

divided into two sections. The U.S. 

Section consists of approximately 25 

members representing the views and 

interests of the private sector in the 

United States. Each government 

appoints the members to its respective 

Section. The Secretary of Commerce 

appoints the U.S. Section and the U.S. 

Section’s private sector co-chair. The 

Forum allows the private sector to 

develop and provide joint 

recommendations to the two 

governments that reflect private sector 

views, needs, concerns, and suggestions 

about the creation of an environment in 

which their respective private sectors 

can partner, thrive, and enhance 

bilateral commercial ties to expand 

trade and economic links between the 

United States and India. The Forum 

works in tandem with, and provides 

input to, the U.S.-India Commercial 

Dialogue. 

Candidates are currently being sought 

for membership in the U.S. Section. 

Each candidate must be the Chief 

Executive Officer, President, or 

equivalent chief executive of a company 

that is (1) U.S.-owned or controlled, (2) 

incorporated in or has its main 

headquarters or principal place of 

business in the United States, and (3) 

currently conducting business in both 

countries. Candidates must be U.S. 

citizens or otherwise legally authorized 

to work in the United States and be 

generally able to travel to India and 

locations in the United States to attend 

Forum meetings, as well as U.S. Section 

meetings. Travel and in-person 

activities are contingent upon the safety 

and health conditions in the United 

States and India. Should safety or health 

conditions not be appropriate for travel 

and/or in-person activities, a meeting 

may be postponed or a virtual meeting 

may be scheduled instead. The 

candidate may not be a registered 

foreign agent, nor required to be 

registered, with the Department of 

Justice under the Foreign Agents 

Registration Act (FARA) of 1938, as 

amended. 

Applications for membership in the 

U.S. Section by eligible individuals will 

be evaluated based on the following 

criteria: 

(1) A demonstrated commitment by 

the individual’s company to the Indian 

market either through exports or 

investment. 

(2) A demonstrated strong interest in 

India and its economic development. 

(3) The ability to offer a broad 

perspective and business experience to 

the discussions. 

(4) The ability to address cross-cutting 

issues that affect the entire business 

community. 

(5) The ability to initiate and be 

responsible for activities in which the 

Forum will be active. 

(6) A demonstrated commitment by 

the individual and/or the individual’s 

company, particularly through activities 

in India, to: 

• support inclusive economic growth; 

• uphold worker rights and labor 

standards in its global supply chain; 

• strengthen the resiliency of U.S. 

supply chains; 

• advance environmental 

sustainability; and 

• address climate change. 

The U.S. Section of the Forum should 

include members who represent a 

diversity of business sectors. 

Applications from individuals 

representing companies in all sectors 

and of all sizes will be considered. 

ITA notes that the following sectors 

are the subject of on-going U.S.-India 

government engagements and is 

particularly seeking applicants 

representing: 

• Healthcare in the context of tackling 

current and future public health 

emergencies and bolstering public 

health efforts; and 

• Critical and emerging technologies 

that are the focus of the U.S.-India 

initiative on Critical and Emerging 

Technologies (iCET), announced by 

President Biden and Prime Minister 

Modi in May 2022 to elevate and 

expand the strategic technology 

partnership and defense industrial 

cooperation between the governments, 

businesses, and academic institutions of 

the United States and India.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On December 8, 2022, Commerce 

published the preliminary 

determinations 1 of the circumvention 

inquiries of the AD and CVD orders on 

solar cells and modules from China. The 

circumvention inquiries concern solar 

cells and modules which were 

completed in Cambodia, Malaysia, 

Thailand, or Vietnam using parts and 

components manufactured in China.2

We invited parties to comment on the 

Preliminary Determinations. 

On December 23, 2022, Sonali 

Energees USA LLC (Sonali) filed a 

Scope Ruling Application in which it 

requested that Commerce determine that 

the solar modules that it imports into 

the United States from Cambodia are 

outside the scope of the Orders.3 On 

January 20, 2023, Commerce notified all 

interested parties that it would address 

Sonali’s scope ruling request in the 

circumvention inquiry covering 

Cambodia.4

A summary of events that occurred 

since Commerce published the 

Preliminary Determinations, as well as a 

full discussion of the issues raised by 

parties for these final determinations, 

may be found in the Issues and Decision 

Memoranda.5 Commerce conducted the
