collection requirement(s) to OMB for 

review and clearance under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,

Comments regarding this information 

collection received by February 26, 2018 

will be considered. Written comments 

should be addressed to: Desk Officer for 

Agriculture, Office of Information and 

Regulatory Affairs, Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB), New

Commenters are encouraged to submit

potential persons who are to respond to 

the collection of information that such 

persons are not required to respond to 

the collection of information unless it 

displays a currently valid OMB control

Farm Service Agency 

Title: Volunteer Programs. 

OMB Control Number: 0560–0232. 

Summary of Collection: Section 1526 

of the Food and Agriculture Act of 1981 

(7 U.S.C. 2272) permits the Secretary of 

Agriculture to establish a program to use 

volunteers to perform a wide range of 

activities to carry out the programs of or 

supported by the Department of 

Agriculture (USDA). Each USDA agency 

is granted the authority to establish 

programs designed to provide 

educationally related work assignments 

for students in non-pay status. USDA, 

Departmental Regulation 4230–1 

requires documentation of service 

performed without compensation by 

persons who do not receive Federal 

appointment. For this requirement, the 

information collection request is 

necessary to continue implementation 

of the programs, which allows the Farm 

Service Agency (FSA) and Risk 

Management Agency (RMA) to use 

volunteers to perform a wide range of 

activities to carry out the programs of or 

supported by the Agency. 

Need and Use of the Information: 

Applicants who are accepted in the 

program will complete the ‘‘Service 

Agreement and Attendance Record.’’ 

FSA and RMA will use the reported 

information to respond to request for 

information on volunteers from the 

USDA Office of Human Resources 

Management. If the information were 

not collected for each volunteer, FSA 

and RMA would be unable to document 

service performed without 

compensation by persons in the 

program if this information were not 

collected for each volunteer. 

Description of Respondents: 

Individuals or households. 

Number of Respondents: 20. 

Frequency of Responses: Reporting: 

Annually. 

Total Burden Hours: 30.

Certain Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaic 

Products From Taiwan: Amended 

Preliminary Results and Preliminary 

Determination of No Shipments 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance,

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce 

(Commerce) is amending the 

preliminary results of the administrative 

review of the antidumping duty order 

on certain crystalline silicon 

photovoltaic products (solar products) 

from Taiwan covering the period of 

review (POR) February 1, 2016, through 

January 31, 2017. 

DATES: January 26, 2018.

DC 20230, telephone: (202) 482–3936. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On April 10, 2017, Commerce 

published a notice initiating an 

antidumping administrative review of 

solar products from Taiwan covering 34 

companies for the POR.1 On December 

20, 2017, Commerce published the 

preliminary results of antidumping duty 

administrative review and partial 

rescission of antidumping duty 

administrative review.2 In this notice, 

Commerce stated incorrectly that 23 of 

the 34 companies 3 listed in the 

Initiation Notice had withdrawn their 

requests for administrative review, 

pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1).4

Actually, neither petitioner nor any of 

the 23 companies had withdrawn 

requests for administrative review. 

Thus, all 23 companies remain under 

review. 

Preliminary Determination of No 

Shipments 

Of the 23 companies at issue, 14 

companies filed timely statements 

reporting that they made no shipments 

of subject merchandise to the United 

States during the POR. Based on the 

certifications submitted by these 

companies and our analysis of U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 

information, we preliminarily determine 

that these 14 companies had no 

shipments during the POR.5 Given that 

these companies certified that they 

made no shipments of subject 

merchandise to the United States during 

the POR, and there is no information 

calling their claims into question, we 

preliminarily determine that these 

companies did not have any reviewable 

transactions during the POR. Commerce 

will issue a no-shipment inquiry to CBP 

requesting that it review these noshipment claims. Consistent with 

Commerce’s practice, we will not 

rescind the review, but, rather, will 

complete the review and issue 

instructions to CBP based on the final 

results.6

Rate for Companies Not Individually 

Examined 

Of the 23 companies at issue, the 

remaining nine are non-selected 

respondents. Consistent with our 

preliminary results and Commerce’s 

practice, we preliminarily assign to 

these nine companies the Motech 

Industries Inc.7 preliminary rate of 1.07 

percent. See table below.
