Preliminary Affiliation and Collapsing 

Memorandum,’’ dated February 28, 2023. 

Commerce received no comments regarding the

Analysis of Comments Received 

We addressed all the issues raised in 

the case and rebuttal briefs in the Issues 

and Decision Memorandum. A list of 

the issues that parties raised, and to 

which we responded in the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum, is provided in 

an appendix to this notice. The Issues 

and 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 Issues and Decision 

Memorandum can be accessed directly 

at https://access.trade.gov/public/ 

FRNoticesListLayout.aspx. 

Changes Since the Preliminary Results 

Based on a review of the record and 

comments received from interested 

parties regarding the Preliminary 

Results, we corrected a conversion error 

pertaining the truck freight surrogate 

value applied to solar cells 4 and valued 

labor using data from the Republic of 

Turkey, rather than Malaysia.5

Final Determination of No Shipments 

In the Preliminary Results, Commerce 

determined that THB and THFT did not 

sell or export subject merchandise to, 

nor was their subject merchandise 

entered into, the United States during 

the POR.6 Interested parties did not 

comment on Commerce’s ‘‘no 

shipments’’ determination. Because we 

have no basis to reconsider this 

determination, Commerce has 

continued to determine that THB and 

THFT did not sell or export subject 

merchandise to, nor was their subject 

merchandise entered into, the United 

States during the POR. 

Separate Rates 

In the Preliminary Results, Commerce 

determined that Trina,7 the sole 

mandatory respondent under review, 

demonstrated its eligibility for a 

separate rate. Interested parties did not 

comment on Commerce’s separate rate 

determination. Because we have no 

basis to reconsider this determination, 

Commerce has continued to determine 

that Trina is eligible for a separate rate. 

Final Results of Review 

We are assigning the following 

weighted-average dumping margin to 

the firms listed below for the period 

February 1, 2021, through January 31, 

2022:

Disclosure 

Commerce intends to disclose to 

parties to the proceeding the 

calculations performed for these final 

results of review within five days of the 

date of publication of this notice in the 

Federal Register in accordance with 19 

CFR 351.224(b). 

Assessment Rates 

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

Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b), Commerce 

will determine, and U.S. Customs and 

Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, 

antidumping duties on all appropriate 

entries of subject merchandise covered 

by the final results of this review. 

Commerce intends to issue assessment 

instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 

days after the date of publication date of 

the final results of this review 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). 

Commerce will calculate importerspecific assessment rates for 

antidumping duties, in accordance with 

19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). Trina reported 

reliable entered values. Thus, 

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 merchandise sold to the 

importer.8 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. However, where 

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. 

For entries that were not reported in 

the U.S. sales database submitted by 

Trina, but that were entered under its 

case number (i.e., at Trina’s cash deposit 

rate), Commerce will instruct CBP to 

liquidate such entries at the China-wide 

entity rate (i.e., 152.84 percent).9

Additionally, for the companies that 

Commerce determined did not ship 

subject merchandise during the POR, 

any suspended entries under the 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 173 / Friday, September 8, 2023 / Notices 62051 

company’s case number will be 

liquidated at the China-wide entity rate. 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following cash deposit 

requirements will be in effect for all 

shipments of subject merchandise 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on, or after, the date of 

publication of this notice in the Federal 

Register, as provided for by section 

751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) the cash 

deposit rate for Trina will be equal to 

the weighted-average dumping margin 

that is listed for Trina in the table above; 

(2) for a previously investigated or 

reviewed exporter of subject 

merchandise that is not listed in the 

table above that has a separate rate, the 

cash deposit rate will continue to be the 

exporter’s existing cash deposit rate; (3) 

for all China exporters of subject 

merchandise that do not have a separate 

rate, the cash deposit rate will be equal 

to the weighted-average dumping 

margin assigned to the China-wide 

entity, which is 152.84 percent; and (4) 

for a non-China exporter of subject 

merchandise that does not have a 

separate rate, the cash deposit rate will 

be equal to the weighted-average 

dumping margin applicable to the China 

exporter(s) that supplied that non-China 

exporter. 

These cash deposit requirements, 

when imposed, shall remain in effect 

until further notice. 

Notification to Importers Regarding the 

Reimbursement of Duties 

This notice also serves as a final 

reminder to importers of their 

responsibility under 19 CFR 

351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate 

regarding the reimbursement of 

antidumping and/or countervailing 

duties prior to liquidation of the 

relevant entries during the POR. Failure 

to comply with this requirement could 

result in Commerce’s presumption that 

reimbursement of antidumping and/or 

countervailing duties occurred and the 

subsequent assessment of double 

antidumping duties and/or antidumping 

duties increased by the amount of the 

countervailing duties. 

Administrative Protective Order (APO) 

This notice also serves as a reminder 

to parties subject to APO of their 

responsibility concerning the return or 

destruction of proprietary information 

disclosed under APO in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.305, which continues 

to govern business proprietary 

information in this segment of the 

proceeding. Timely written notification 

of the return or destruction of APO 

materials, or conversion to judicial 

protective order, is hereby requested. 

Failure to comply with the regulations 

and terms of an APO is a violation 

which is subject to sanction. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

We are issuing these final results of 

administrative review and publishing 

this notice in accordance with sections 

751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act and 19 

CFR 351.213(h)(2) and 351.221(b)(5).
