provided to producers and exporters of 

crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells, 

whether or not assembled into modules, 

(solar cells) from the People’s Republic 

of China (China) during the period of 

review (POR), January 1, 2019, through 

December 31, 2019. In addition, we 

intend to rescind this review with 

respect to 48 companies. We invite 

interested parties to comment on these

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On February 4, 2021, Commerce 

initiated this administrative review of 

the countervailing duty (CVD) order on 

solar cells from China on 83 

companies.1 On July 23, 2021, we 

partially rescinded this review with 

respect to eleven companies for which 

the requests for review were withdrawn 

by the requesting parties within 90 days 

of the date of publication of the notice 

of initiation in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.213(d)(1).2 Therefore, this review 

now covers 72 companies, of which JA 

Solar Technology Yangzhou Co., Ltd. 

(JA Solar) and Risen Energy Co., Ltd. 

(Risen) are the mandatory respondents. 

On July 30, September 2, and 

December 6, 2021, Commerce extended 

the time limit for completion of these 

preliminary results until no later than 

December 30, 2021.3

For a complete description of the 

events that followed the initiation of 

this review, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum.4 A list of topics 

discussed in the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum is provided in an 

appendix to this notice. The Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum is a public 

document and is on file electronically 

via Enforcement and Compliance’s 

Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 

Centralized Electronic System 

(ACCESS). ACCESS is available to 

registered users at http://

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 Order 

The products covered by this order 

are 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. For a 

complete description of the scope of this 

order, see the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum. 

Intent To Rescind Review, in Part 

In accordance with 19 CFR 

351.213(d)(3), we intend to rescind this 

review with respect to 48 other 

companies for which we find no 

reviewable suspended entries of subject 

merchandise, based on U.S. Customs 

and Border Protection (CBP) data. See 

Appendix III for a complete list of those 

companies. 

Trina Solar Energy Co., Ltd. (formerly, 

Changzhou Trina Solar Energy Co., Ltd.) 

and its cross-owned companies 

(collectively, Trina) certified that they 

had no sales of subject merchandise 

during the POR and requested rescission 

of the review.5 However, the CBP entry 

data on the record show shipments 

made by these companies during the 

POR. Thus, we have requested entry 

information from CBP regarding these 

shipments. Upon receipt from CBP, we 

will place the information on the record, 

provide an opportunity for interested 

parties to comment, and then determine 

whether to rescind the review for these 

companies. 

Methodology 

Commerce is conducting 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 

preliminarily found to be 

countervailable, Commerce 

preliminarily finds that there is a 

subsidy, i.e., a financial contribution 

from an authority that gives rise to a 

benefit to the recipient, and that the 

subsidy is specific.6 For a full 

description of the methodology 

underlying our preliminary conclusions, 

including our reliance, in part, on facts 

available with adverse inferences

Preliminary Rate for Non-Selected 

Companies Under Review 

There are 12 companies for which a 

review was requested, which had 

reviewable entries, and which were not 

selected as mandatory respondents or 

found to be cross-owned with a 

mandatory respondent. See Appendix II. 

For these companies, because the rates 

calculated for the mandatory 

respondents, JA Solar and Risen, were 

above de minimis and not based entirely 

on facts available, we are applying to 

the non-selected companies the simpleaverage of the net subsidy rates 

calculated for JA Solar and Risen, which 

we calculated using the publicly ranged 

sales data submitted by those 

respondents. This methodology is 

consistent with our practice for 

establishing an all-others rate pursuant 

to section 705(c)(5)(A) of the Act.7

Preliminary Results of Review 

Commerce preliminarily determines 

the net countervailable subsidy rates for 

the period January 1, 2019, through 

December 31, 2019, are as follows: 

Company 

Subsidy 

rate 

(percent) 

JA Solar Technology Yangzhou

proceeding the calculations performed 

in reaching the preliminary results 

within five days of publication of these 

preliminary results.10 Case briefs, or 

other written comments, may be 

submitted to the Assistant Secretary for 

Enforcement and Compliance at a date 

to be determined. Rebuttal comments 

(rebuttal briefs), limited to issues raised 

in case briefs, may be filed within seven 

days after the time limit for filing case 

briefs.11 Parties who submit arguments 

are requested to submit with each 

argument: (1) A statement of the issue; 

(2) a brief summary of the argument; 

and (3) a table of authorities.12 All briefs 

must be filed electronically using

temporarily modified certain of its 

requirements for serving documents 

containing business proprietary 

information until further notice.13

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), 

interested parties who wish to request a 

hearing must submit a written request to 

the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement 

and Compliance, filed electronically via

Assessment Rates 

Pursuant to 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act, 

upon issuance of the final results, 

Commerce shall determine, and CBP 

shall assess, countervailing duties on all 

appropriate entries of subject 

merchandise in accordance with the 

final results. If the assessment rate 

calculated in the final results in zero or 

de minimis, we will instruct CBP to 

liquidate all appropriate entries without 

regard to countervailing duties. 

Commerce intends to issue assessment 

instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 

days after the date of publication 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). 

Cash Deposit Requirement 

In accordance with section 

751(a)(2)(C) of the Act, Commerce 

intends, upon publication of the final 

results, to instruct CBP to collect cash 

deposit of estimated countervailing 

duties in the amounts shown for each of 

the respective companies listed above, 

except, where the rate calculated in the 

final results is de minimis, no cash 

deposit will be required on shipments of 

the subject merchandise entered or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after the date of 

publication of the final results of this 

review. For all non-reviewed firms, we 

will instruct CBP to continue to collect 

cash deposits at the most-recent 

company-specific or all-others rate 

applicable to the company, as 

appropriate. These cash deposit 

requirements, when imposed, shall 

remain in effect until further notice. 

Final Results of Review 

Commerce intends to issue the final 

results of this administrative review, 

including the results of our analysis of 

the issues raised by the parties in their 

comments, no later than 120 days after 

the date of publication of this notice, 

pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the 

Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(1), unless 

this deadline is extended. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

These preliminary results are issued 

and published pursuant to sections 

751(a)(l) and 777(i)(l) of the Act, and 19 

CFR 351.213 and 351.221(b)(4).

Certain Hot-Rolled Steel Flat Products 

of Brazil: Final Results of the 

Expedited First Sunset Review of the 

Countervailing Duty Order 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: As a result of this expedited 

sunset review, the Department of 

Commerce (Commerce) finds that 

revocation of the countervailing duty 

order (CVD) on certain hot-rolled steel 

flat products (HRS) from Brazil would 

be likely to lead to continuation or 

recurrence of countervailable subsidies 

at the levels as indicated in the ‘‘Final 

Results of Sunset Review’’ section of 

this notice. 

DATES: Applicable January 6, 2022.

DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482–4473. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On October 3, 2016, Commerce 

published in Federal Register a notice 

of the CVD order on HRS from Brazil.1

On September 1, 2021, Commerce 

published the notice of initiation of the 

first sunset review of the Order, 

pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff 

Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).2

Commerce received notices of intent to 

participate from Cleveland-Cliffs Inc., 

Nucor Corporation, Steel Dynamics Inc., 

and United States Steel Corporation 

(collectively, domestic interested 

parties) within the deadline specified in 

19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i).3 The domestic 

interested parties each claimed 

interested party status under section 

771(9)(C) of the Act as manufacturers or 

producers of the domestic like product.4

On September 30, 2021, Commerce 

received an adequate substantive 

response to the Notice of Initiation from 

the domestic interested parties within 

the 30-day deadline specified in 19 CFR 

351.218(d)(3)(i).5 Commerce also 

received a response from the 

Government of Brazil (GOB).6 However, 

we did not receive a substantive 

response from any other interested party 

in this proceeding. On October 20, 2021, 

Commerce notified the U.S. 

International Trade Commission that it 

did not receive an adequate substantive 

response from respondent interested 

parties.7 As a result, Commerce 

conducted an expedited (120-day) 

sunset review of the Order, pursuant to 

section 751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 19 

CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2). 

Scope of the Order 

The merchandise subject to the Order 

is certain hot-rolled, flat-rolled steel 

products, with or without patterns in 

relief, and whether or not annealed, 

painted, varnished, or coated with 

plastics or other non-metallic 

substances. The merchandise subject to 

the Order is classifiable under the 

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States (HTSUS) statistical 

categories 7208.10.1500, 7208.10.3000, 

7208.10.6000, 7208.25.3000,
