Background 

On March 8, 2023, Commerce 

published the Preliminary Results of 

this administrative review in the 

Federal Register.1 For a description of 

the events that occurred since the 

Preliminary Results, see the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum.2

Scope of the Order 3

The merchandise covered by the 

Order are modules, laminates and/or 

panels consisting of crystalline silicon 

photovoltaic cells, whether or not 

partially or fully assembled into other 

products, including building integrated 

materials. For purposes of the Order, 

subject merchandise includes modules, 

laminates and/or panels assembled in 

China consisting of crystalline silicon 

photovoltaic cells produced in a 

customs territory other than China. A 

full description of the scope of the 

Order is contained in the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum. 

Analysis of Comments Received 

All issues raised by interested parties 

in their case and rebuttal briefs are 

addressed in the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum. A list of topics discussed 

in the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum is provided as an 

appendix to this notice. The Issues and

Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 

Centralized Electronic Service System

Changes Since the Preliminary Results 

Based on our analysis of comments 

submitted by interested parties and the 

evidence on the record, Commerce 

revised the calculation for the net 

countervailable subsidy rates for the 

sole company respondent in this review, 

Trina Solar (Changzhou) Science & 

Technology Co., Ltd. (Trina Solar). For 

a discussion of the issues, see the Issues 

and Decision Memorandum. 

Methodology 

Commerce conducted this 

administrative review in accordance 

with section 751(a)(1)(A) of the Tariff 

Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). For 

each of the subsidy programs found to 

be countervailable, we find that there is 

a subsidy, i.e., a government-provided 

financial contribution that gives rise to 

a benefit to the recipient, and that the 

subsidy is specific.4 For a complete 

description of the methodology 

underlying all of Commerce’s 

conclusions, including our reliance, in 

part, on facts otherwise available, 

including adverse facts available, 

pursuant to sections 776(a) and (b) of 

the Act, see the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum.
