SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On December 21, 2011, based on a 

timely request from the petitioner, 

SolarWorld Industries America, Inc. 

(Petitioner), the Department of 

Commerce (the Department) extended 

the due date for the preliminary 

determination in the countervailing 

duty investigation of crystalline silicon 

photovoltaic cells, whether or not 

assembled into modules, from the 

People’s Republic of China, to no later 

than February 13, 2012.1 Petitioner 

made a second timely request on 

January 19, 2012, to further postpone 

the preliminary countervailing duty 

determination by 18 days, to March 2, 

2012, which the Department granted.2

Postponement of Due Date for the 

Preliminary Determination 

Section 703(b)(1) of the Tariff Act of 

1930, as amended (the Act), requires the 

Department to issue the preliminary 

determination in a countervailing duty 

investigation within 65 days after the 

date on which the Department initiated 

the investigation. However, if the 

Department concludes that the parties 

concerned in the investigation are 

cooperating and determines that the 

investigation is extraordinarily 

complicated, section 703(c)(1)(B) of the 

Act allows the Department to postpone 

making the preliminary determination 

until no later than 130 days after the 

date on which the administering 

authority initiated the investigation. 

The Department has determined that 

the parties involved in this proceeding 

are cooperating, and that the 

investigation is extraordinarily 

complicated.3 The mandatory 

respondents recently filed extensive 

questionnaire responses and also 

identified and included responses to the 

questionnaire for multiple cross-owned 

affiliated companies, which now are 

included in the investigation.4

Specifically, the Department is 

investigating 27 alleged subsidy 

programs including, but not limited to, 

loans, grants, income tax incentives, and 

the provision of goods and services for 

less than adequate remuneration. Due to 

the number of companies and the 

complexity of the alleged 

countervailable subsidy practices being 

investigated, we determine that this 

investigation is extraordinarily 

complicated. Therefore, in accordance 

with section 703(c)(1)(B) of the Act, we 

are fully extending the due date for the 

preliminary determination to no later 

than 130 days after the day on which 

the investigation was initiated. 

However, as that date falls on a 

Saturday (i.e., March 17, 2012), the 

deadline for completion of the 

preliminary determination is now 

Monday, March 19, 2012, the next 

business day.5

This notice is issued and published 

pursuant to section 703(c)(2) of the Act 

and 19 CFR 351.205(f)(1). 

Dated: February 15, 2012.
