Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaic Cells, Whether or Not Assembled 
Into Modules, From the People's Republic of China: Preliminary Results 
of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, Partial Rescission of 
Antidumping Administrative Review, and Preliminary Determination of No 
Shipments; 2021-2022

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) preliminarily 
determines that Shenzhen Sungold Solar Co., Ltd. (Sungold), and the 
companies which Commerce preliminarily granted separate rates, did not 
sell subject merchandise at prices below normal value (NV) during the 
period December 1, 2021, through November 30, 2022, the period of 
review (POR). Commerce also preliminarily determines that certain 
companies do not qualify for a separate rate, and that it is 
appropriate to rescind this review with respect to 10 companies because 
all requests to review these companies were timely withdrawn. In 
addition, Commerce intends to rescind this review with respect to 
certain companies that did not ship subject merchandise during the POR. 
Interested parties are invited to comment on these preliminary results 
of the review.

DATES: Applicable January 4, 2024.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    In response to review requests from multiple parties, on February 
2, 2023, Commerce initiated 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) with respect to 68 companies/company groupings for the 
period December 1, 2021, through November 30, 2022.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews, 88 FR 7060, 7062-63 (February 2, 2023).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On April 20, 2023, Commerce selected two exporters to individually 
examine as mandatory respondents, Yingli \2\ and Shenzhen Glory 
Industries Co., Ltd. (Shenzhen Glory).\3\ Shenzhen Glory timely 
withdrew its request for review, and no other party requested a

[[Page 458]]

review of Shenzhen Glory.\4\ Therefore, Commerce selected Sungold as an 
additional mandatory respondent on May 1, 2023.\5\ On September 8, 
2023, Commerce also selected Anji DaSol Solar Energy Science & 
Technology Co., Ltd. (Anji DaSol) as a mandatory respondent.\6\ 
However, Anji DaSol declined to participate in this review.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ Yingli refers to the following companies which Commerce has 
treated as a single entity: (1) Shenzhen Yingli New Energy Resources 
Co., Ltd.; (2) Baoding Jiasheng Photovoltaic Technology Co. Ltd.; 
(3) Baoding Tianwei Yingli New Energy Resources Co., Ltd.; (4) 
Beijing Tianneng Yingli New Energy Resources Co., Ltd.; (5) Hainan 
Yingli New Energy Resources Co., Ltd.; (6) Hengshui Yingli New 
Energy Resources Co., Ltd.; (7) Lixian Yingli New Energy Resources 
Co., Ltd.; (8) Tianjin Yingli New Energy Resources Co., Ltd.; and 
(9) Yingli Energy (China) Company Limited.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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.\10\

    \11\ During the POR, solar cells and modules were primarily 
classified under HTSUS subheadings 8541.40.6015 and 8541.40.6025. 
These two categories were updated to USHTS subheadings 8541.42.0010 
and 8541.43.0010 in 2022.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Partial Rescission of Administrative Review

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), Commerce will rescind an 
administrative review, in whole or in part, if all parties that 
requested the review withdraw their requests within 90 days of the date 
of publication of the notice of initiation of the requested review. All 
parties timely withdrew their requests for an administrative review, 
and thus, Commerce is rescinding its review of the following companies: 
(1) Jinko Solar Technology Sdn. Bhd.; (2) Jinko Solar (Malaysia) Sdn. 
Bhd.; (3) Jinkosolar Middle East DMCC; (4) Shenzhen Glory; (5) Boviet 
Solar Technology Co., Ltd.; (6) CSI Solar Power Group Co., Ltd.; (7) 
New East Solar Energy Cambodia Co., Ltd.; (8) Vina Cell Technology 
Company Limited; (9) Vina Solar Technology Company Limited; and (10) 
Canadian Solar Manufacturing, Inc.

Intent To Rescind Administrative Review in Part

    Based on record evidence obtained from U.S. Customs and Border 
Protection (CBP), we preliminarily determine that there are no 
suspended entries during the POR for the companies listed in Appendix 
II, all of which have existing separate rates.\12\ In the absence of 
any suspended entries of subject merchandise from these companies 
during the POR, Commerce intends to rescind its review of these 
companies in the final results of this review.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ See Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Commerce also intends to rescind this review with respect to Red 
Sun Energy Long An Company Limited. See the Preliminary Decision 
Memorandum for details.

Companies Not Reviewed

    Based on record evidence obtained from CBP, we preliminarily 
determine that there are no suspended entries during the POR for the 
companies listed in Appendix III, all of which currently do not have a 
separate rate.\13\ In the absence of any suspended entries of subject 
merchandise from these companies during the POR, and based on the fact 
that these companies do not have a separate rate and are part of the 
China-wide entity, which is not under review as no parties requested a 
review of the entity, we are not conducting a review of these 
companies.

Preliminary Determination of No Shipments

    Trina Solar (Changzhou) Science and Technology Co., Ltd. (Trina 
Solar Changzhou) and Jinko Solar,\14\ claimed that they did not ship 
subject merchandise during the POR. However, entry data obtained from 
CBP appear to contradict those claims.\15\ Additionally, the American 
Alliance for Solar Manufacturing (the petitioner) placed Datamyne data 
on the record which it claims shows that Jinko Solar may have shipped 
subject merchandise during the POR.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \14\ Jinko Solar refers to the following companies which 
Commerce has previously treated as a single entity: Jinko Solar 
Import and Export Co., Ltd.; Jinko Solar Co., Ltd.; Jinko Solar 
Technology (Haining) Co., Ltd.; Yuhuan Jinko Solar Co., Ltd.; 
Zhejiang Jinko Solar Co., Ltd.; Jiangsu Jinko Tiansheng Solar Co., 
Ltd. ; JinkoSolar (Chuzhou) Co., Ltd.; JinkoSolar (Yiwu) Co., Ltd.; 
and JinkoSolar (Shangrao) Co., Ltd.
    \15\ See Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    After analyzing the information on the record, we preliminarily 
determine that there is no evidence that Trina Solar Changzhou or Jinko 
Solar failed to properly report entries of their subject 
merchandise.\16\ If our determination remains unchanged in the final 
results of this review, we will instruct CBP to liquidate entries of 
subject merchandise during the POR that were recorded under the 
company-specific case numbers for Trina Solar Changzhou or Jinko Solar 
at the China-wide rate.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Application of Facts Available With Adverse Inferences

    Sungold's solar cell suppliers failed to provide factors of 
production (FOP) data for use in calculating the weighted-average 
dumping margin of Sungold. Because the solar cells suppliers are 
interested parties, and they declined to provide requested information, 
that information is not on the record. Consequently, we have 
preliminarily applied partial facts available with adverse inferences 
in place of the missing FOP data, pursuant to sections 776(a)(1), 
(2)(A)-(C), and 776(b) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). 
For details regarding this preliminary determination, see the 
Preliminary Decision Memorandum.

Separate Rates

    We have preliminarily determined that the companies listed in the 
table in the ``Preliminary Results of Review'' section of this notice 
below demonstrated that they qualified for a separate rate but the 
companies listed in Appendix IV have not done so. Consequently, we have 
preliminarily

[[Page 459]]

treated the companies listed in Appendix IV as part of the China-wide 
entity. Because no party requested a review of the China-wide entity, 
the entity's dumping margin is 238.95 percent \17\ and not subject to 
change.\18\ For additional information regarding Commerce's preliminary 
separate rate determinations, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \17\ The China-wide entity rate was last changed in the first 
administrative review of this proceeding and has been the applicable 
rate for the entity in each subsequent review, including the most 
recently completed review. See Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaic 
Cells, Whether or Not Assembled Into Modules, from the People's 
Republic of China: Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dumping Margins for Separate Rate Companies

    The statute and Commerce's regulations do not address what dumping 
margin to apply to respondents that are not selected for individual 
examination in an administrative review pursuant to section 777A(c)(2) 
of the Act. Generally, Commerce looks to section 735(c)(5) of the Act, 
which provides instructions for calculating the all-others rate in an 
investigation, for guidance when calculating the dumping margin for 
respondents that are not individually examined in an administrative 
review. Under section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act, the all-others rate is 
normally ``equal to the weighted average of the estimated weighted 
average dumping margins established for exporters and producers 
individually investigated, excluding any zero and de minimis dumping 
margins, and any dumping margins determined entirely {on the basis of 
facts available{time} .'' When the weighted-average dumping margins 
established for all individually examined respondents are zero, de 
minimis, or based entirely on facts available, section 735(c)(5)(B) of 
the Act permits Commerce to ``use any reasonable method to establish 
the estimated all-others rate for exporters and producers not 
individually investigated, including averaging the estimated weighted 
average dumping margins determined for the exporters and producers 
individually investigated.'' Consistent with Commerce's practice,\19\ 
we preliminarily determine that a reasonable method would be to assign 
a dumping margin to the non-individually examined separate rate 
companies equal to the zero percent preliminary dumping margin 
calculated for Sungold. For additional information,see the Preliminary 
Decision Memorandum.

Memorandum at Comment 5.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Methodology

    Commerce is conducting this administrative review in accordance 
with section 751(a)(1)(B) of the Act. In determining Sungold's dumping 
margin, we calculated export prices in accordance with section 772 of 
the Act. Because Commerce previously determined that China is a non-
market economy country,\20\ within the meaning of section 771(18) of 
the Act, we calculated normal value in accordance with section 773(c) 
of the Act.

[[Page 460]]

date for filing case briefs.\22\ Interested parties who submit case or 
rebuttal briefs must submit: (1) a table of contents listing each issue 
discussed in the brief; and (2) a table of authorities.\23\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \21\ See 19 CFR 351.309(c)(ii).
    \22\ See 19 CFR 351.309(d); see also Administrative Protective 
Order, Service, and Other Procedures in Antidumping and 
Countervailing Duty Proceedings, 88 FR 67069, 67077 (September 29, 
2023) (APO and Final Service Rule).
    \23\ See 19 351.309(c)(2) and (d)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    As provided under 19 CFR 351.309(c)(2) and (d)(2), in prior 
proceedings we have encouraged interested parties to provide an 
executive summary of their brief that should be limited to five pages 
total, including footnotes. In this review, we instead request that 
interested parties provide at the beginning of their briefs a public, 
executive summary for each issue raised in their briefs.\24\ Further, 
we request that interested parties limit their executive summary of 
each issue to no more than 450 words, not including citations. We 
intend to use the executive summaries as the basis of the comment 
summaries included in the issues and decision memorandum that will 
accompany the final results in this administrative review. We request 
that interested parties include footnotes for relevant citations in the 
executive summary of each issue. Note that Commerce has amended certain 
of its requirements pertaining to the service of documents in 19 CFR 
351.303(f).\25\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \24\ We use the term ``issue'' here to describe an argument that 
Commerce would normally address in a comment of the Issues and 
Decision Memorandum.
    \25\ See APO and Final Service Rule.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), interested parties who wish to 
request a hearing, limited to issues raised in the case and rebuttal 
briefs, must submit a written request for a hearing to the Assistant 
Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance, U.S. Department of Commerce, 
filed electronically via ACCESS, within 30 days after the date of 
publication of this notice in the Federal Register. Requests for a 
hearing should contain: (1) the requesting party's name, address, and 
telephone number; (2) the number of individuals associated with the 
requesting party that will attend the hearing and whether any of those 
individuals is a foreign national; and (3) a list of the issues the 
party intends to discuss at the hearing. If a request for a hearing is 
made, Commerce intends to hold the hearing at a time and date to be 
determined. Parties should confirm by telephone the date, time, and 
location of the hearing two days before the scheduled hearing date.

Final Results of Review

    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 in the Federal 
Register, 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 CBP shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate 
entries covered by this review.\26\ Commerce intends to issue 
assessment instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days after the date 
of publication of the notice 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).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \26\ See Antidumping Proceedings: Calculation of the Weighted 
Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping 
Proceedings: Final Modification, 77 FR 8101 (February 14, 2012) 
(Final Modification).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Where a respondent's weighted average dumping margin is zero 
percent or de minimis, or an importer/customer-specific ad valorem 
assessment rate is zero percent or de minimis, Commerce's practice is 
to instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to 
dumping duties.\27\ Thus, if Commerce continues to calculate a 
weighted-average dumping margin of zero percent for Sungold in the 
final results of this review, it will instruct CBP to liquidate entries 
of Sungold's subject merchandise during the POR without regard to 
antidumping duties.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \27\ See Drawn Stainless Steel Sinks from the People's Republic 
of China: Preliminary Results of the Antidumping Duty Administrative 
Review and Preliminary Determination of No Shipments; 2014-2015, 81 
FR 29528 (May 12, 2016), and accompanying Issues and Decision 
Memorandum at 10-11, unchanged in Drawn Stainless Steel Sinks from 
the People's Republic of China: Final Results of Antidumping Duty 
Administrative Review; Final Determination of No Shipments; 2014-
2015, 81 FR 54042 (August 15, 2016).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    However, if Sungold's final weighted-average dumping margin is not 
zero percent or de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent), Commerce 
intends to calculate importer/customer-specific assessment rates \28\ 
by dividing the total amount of dumping for reviewed sales to the 
importer/customer by the total quantity of those sales. Commerce will 
calculate an estimated ad valorem importer/customer-specific assessment 
rate to determine whether the per-unit assessment rate is de minimis; 
however, it will instruct CBP to apply the per-unit assessment 
rate.\29\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \28\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
    \29\ See Final Modification, 77 FR 8103.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Commerce will base the assessment rate of the respondents that were 
not selected for individual examination that qualify for a separate 
rate on the weighted-average dumping margin that it calculates for 
Sungold in the final results of this review.\30\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \30\ See NME Assessment of Dumping Duties, for a full discussion 
of this practice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Pursuant to a refinement of its practice, Commerce will instruct 
CBP to liquidate entries of Sungold's subject merchandise for which 
sales were not reported in the U.S. sales database at the dumping 
margin assigned to the China-wide entity.\31\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \31\ See Solar Cells from China AR1 Final, 80 FR 41002.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Additionally, we intend to instruct CBP to liquidate entries of 
subject merchandise during the POR that were recorded under the 
company-specific case numbers for Trina Solar Changzhou or Jinko Solar 
at the China-wide 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 the notice of 
the final results of this administrative review in the Federal 
Register, as provided for by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) for 
the exporters listed in the table in the ``Preliminary Results of 
Review'' section of this notice above, the cash deposit rate will be 
equal to the weighted-average dumping margin established in the final 
results of this review for the exporter (except, if the dumping margin 
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 that are not listed in the 
rate table in the final results of review that have separate rates, 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 238.95 percent, and (4) for all non-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 applicable to the 
China

[[Page 461]]

exporter(s) that supplied that non-China exporter. These cash deposit 
requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further 
notice.

Notification to Importers

    This notice serves as a preliminary reminder to importers of their 
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate 
regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties and/or countervailing 
duties prior to liquidation of the relevant entries during this POR. 
Failure to comply with this requirement could result in Commerce's 
presumption that reimbursement of antidumping duties and/or 
countervailing duties has occurred, and the subsequent assessment of 
double antidumping duties, and/or an increase in the amount of 
antidumping duties by the amount of the countervailing duties.

Notification to Interested Parties

    We are issuing and publishing these preliminary results of review 
in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 
CFR 351.213 and 351.221(b)(4).

    Dated: December 28, 2023.
