discussed in the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum is included as Appendix 

II to this notice. The Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum is a public 

document and is on file electronically 

via Enforcement and Compliance’s

registered users at https://access.

trade.gov In addition, a complete 

version of the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum can be accessed directly 

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

FRNoticesListLayout.aspx. 

Scope of the Investigation 

The products covered by this 

investigation are solar cells from 

Cambodia. For a complete description of 

the scope of this investigation, see 

Appendix I. 

Scope Comments 

In accordance with the Preamble to 

Commerce’s regulations,6 the Initiation 

Notice set aside a period of time for 

parties to raise issues regarding product 

coverage, (i.e., scope).7 We received 

several comments concerning the scope 

of this investigation, as well as in the 

companion less-than-fair-value (LTFV) 

and countervailing duty (CVD) 

investigations of solar cells, as it 

appeared in the Initiation Notice. We 

are currently evaluating scope 

comments filed by interested parties. 

We intend to issue our preliminary 

decision regarding the scope of the 

LTFV and CVD investigations in the 

preliminary determinations of the 

companion LTFV investigations, the 

deadline for which is November 27, 

2024.8 We will incorporate the scope 

decisions from the LTFV investigation 

into the scope of the final CVD 

determination for this investigation after 

considering any relevant comments 

submitted in scope case and rebuttal 

briefs.9

Methodology 

Commerce is conducting this 

investigation in accordance with section 

701 of the Act. For each of the subsidy 

programs found countervailable, 

Commerce preliminarily determines 

that there is a subsidy, i.e., a financial 

contribution by an ‘‘authority’’ that 

gives rise to a benefit to the recipient, 

and that the subsidy is specific.10 For a 

full description of the methodology 

underlying our preliminary 

determination, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum. 

In making these findings, Commerce 

relied, in part, on facts available and, 

because it finds that one or more 

respondents did not act to the best of 

their ability to respond to Commerce’s 

requests for information, it drew an 

adverse inference where appropriate in 

selecting from among the facts 

otherwise available.11 For further 

information, see the ‘‘Use of Facts 

Otherwise Available and Adverse 

Inferences’’ section in the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum. 

Alignment 

In accordance with section 705(a)(1) 

of the Act and 19 CFR 351.210(b)(4), 

Commerce is aligning the final CVD 

determination in this investigation with 

the final determination in the 

companion LTFV investigation of solar 

cells from Cambodia based on a request 

made by the petitioner.12 Consequently, 

the final CVD determination will be 

issued on the same date as the final 

LTFV determination, which is currently 

scheduled to be issued no later than 

February 10, 2025.13

All-Others Rate 

Sections 703(d) and 705(c)(5)(A) of 

the Act provide that in the preliminary 

determination, Commerce shall 

determine an estimated all-others rate 

for companies not individually 

examined. This rate shall be an amount 

equal to the weighted average of the 

estimated subsidy rates established for 

those companies individually 

examined, excluding any zero and de 

minimis rates and any rates based 

entirely under section 776 of the Act. 

In this investigation, Commerce 

preliminarily assigned a rate based 

entirely on facts available with an 

adverse inference to Jintek Photovoltaic 

Technology Co., Ltd (Jintek). Therefore, 

the only rate that is not zero, de minimis 

or based entirely on facts otherwise 

available is the rate calculated for 

Solarspace New Energy (Cambodia) Co., 

Ltd. (Solarspace). Consequently, the rate 

calculated for Solarspace is also 

assigned as the rate for all other 

producers and exporters. 

Rate for Non-Responsive Company 

One exporter and/or producer of solar 

cells from Cambodia, ISC Cambodia, did 

not respond to Commerce’s quantity and 

value (Q&V) questionnaire. We find 

that, by not responding to the Q&V 

questionnaire, this company withheld 

requested information and significantly 

impeded this proceeding. Thus, in 

reaching our preliminary determination, 

pursuant sections 776(a)(2)(A) and (C) of 

the Act, we are basing the CVD subsidy 

rate for ISC Cambodia on facts otherwise 

available. 

Further, we preliminarily determine 

that an adverse inference is warranted, 

pursuant to section 776(b) of the Act. By 

failing to submit responses to 

Commerce’s Q&V questionnaire, ISC 

Cambodia did not cooperate to the best 

of their ability in this investigation. 

Accordingly, we preliminarily find that 

an adverse inference is warranted to 

ensure that ISC Cambodia will not 

obtain a more favorable result than had 

they fully complied with our request for 

information. For more information on 

the application of adverse facts 

available, see ‘‘Use of Facts Otherwise 

Available and Adverse Inferences’’ in 

the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.

Suspension of Liquidation 

In accordance with section 

703(d)(1)(B) and (d)(2) of the Act, 

Commerce will direct U.S. Customs and 

Border Protection (CBP) to suspend 

liquidation of entries of subject 

merchandise as described in the scope 

of the investigation section entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after the date of 

publication of this notice in the Federal 

Register. Further, pursuant to 19 CFR 

351.205(d), Commerce will instruct CBP 

to require a cash deposit equal to the 

rates indicated above. 

Disclosure 

Commerce intends to disclose its 

calculations and analysis performed to 

interested parties in this preliminary 

determination within five days of its 

public announcement, or if there is no 

public announcement, within five days 

of the date of this notice in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.224(b). 

Consistent with 19 CFR 351.224(e), 

Commerce will analyze and, if 

appropriate, correct any timely 

allegations of significant ministerial 

errors by amending the preliminary 

determination. However, consistent 

with 19 CFR 351.224(d), Commerce will 

not consider incomplete allegations that 

do not address the significance standard 

under 19 CFR 351.224(g) following the 

preliminary determination. Instead, 

Commerce will address such allegations 

in the final determination together with 

issues raised in the case briefs or other 

written comments. 

Verification 

As provided in section 782(i)(1) of the 

Act, Commerce intends to verify the 

information relied upon in making its 

final determination. 

Public Comment 

All interested parties will have the 

opportunity to submit scope case and 

rebuttal briefs on the preliminary 

decision regarding the scope of the CVD 

and LTFV investigations. The deadlines 

to submit scope case and rebuttal briefs 

will be provided in the preliminary 

scope decision memorandum. For all 

scope case and rebuttal briefs, parties 

must file identical documents 

simultaneously on the records of the 

ongoing CVD and LTFV investigations. 

No new factual information or business 

proprietary information may be

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 

investigation, we instead request that 

interested parties provide at the 

beginning of their briefs a public, 

executive summary for each issue raised 

in their briefs.16 Further, we request that 

interested parties limit their public, 

executive summary of each issue to no 

more than 450 words, not including 

citations. We intend to use the public, 

executive summaries as the basis of the 

comment summaries included in the 

issues and decision memorandum that 

will accompany the final determination 

in this investigation. We request that 

interested parties include footnotes for 

relevant citations in the public, 

executive summary of each issue. Note 

that Commerce has amended certain of 

its requirements pertaining to the 

service of documents in 19 CFR

crystalline silicon photovoltaic panels, with 

or without a glass cover, with the following 

characteristics: (1) a total power output of 

200 watts or less per panel; (2) a maximum 

surface area of 16,000 cm2 per panel; (3) no 

built-in inverter; (4) an integrated handle or 

a handle attached to the package for ease of 

carry; (5) one or more integrated kickstands 

for easy installation or angle adjustment; and 

(6) a wire of not less than 3 meters either 

permanently connected or attached to the 

package that terminates in an 8 mm diameter 

male barrel connector. 

Also excluded from the scope of this 

investigation are off-grid crystalline silicon 

photovoltaic panels in rigid form with a glass 

cover, with each of the following physical 

characteristics, whether or not assembled 

into a fully completed off-grid hydropanel 

whose function is conversion of water vapor 

into liquid water: (A) a total power output of 

no more than 180 watts per panel at 155 

degrees Celsius; (B) a surface area of less than 

16,000 square centimeters (cm2) per panel; 

(C) include a keep-out area of approximately 

1,200 cm2 around the edges of the panel that 

does not contain solar cells; (D) do not 

include a built-in inverter; (E) do not have a 

frame around the edges of the panel; (F) 

include a clear glass back panel; (G) must 

include a permanently connected wire that 

terminates in a two-port rounded rectangular, 

sealed connector; (H) include a thermistor 

installed into the permanently connected 

wire before the twoport connector; and (I) 

include exposed positive and negative 

terminals at opposite ends of the panel, not 

enclosed in a junction box.
