Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaic Cells, 

Whether or Not Assembled Into

Circumstances Reviews, and 

Revocation of Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Orders, in Part 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance,

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: On December 26, 2017, the 

Department of Commerce (Commerce) 

published its preliminary results of 

changed circumstances reviews (CCRs) 

and intent to revoke, in part, the 

antidumping duty (AD) and 

countervailing duty (CVD) orders on 

crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells, 

whether or not assembled into modules, 

from the People’s Republic of China 

(China) with respect to certain solar 

panels (collectively, the Orders). 

Specifically, Commerce preliminarily 

determined that the producers 

accounting for substantially all of the 

production of the domestic like product 

to which the Orders pertain lacked 

interest in the relief provided by the 

Orders with respect to certain solar 

panels of a sufficiently small size, 

voltage, amperage, and wattage, among 

other characteristics, as described 

below. Commerce invited interested 

parties to comment on the preliminary 

results. No party submitted comments. 

For the final results of these CCRs, 

Commerce is revoking, in part, the 

Orders as to imports of certain solar 

panels as described below. 

DATES: Applicable January 18, 2018.

(Solar CCR Preliminary Notice). 

2017, Pitsco, Inc. d/b/a/Pitsco Education 

(Pitsco), an importer of the subject 

merchandise, requested through a 

changed circumstances review 

revocation, in part, of the Orders 

pursuant to section 751(b)(1) of the 

Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act) 

and 19 CFR 351.216(b), with respect to 

certain solar panels.2 On October 13, 

2017, SolarWorld Americas, Inc. (the 

petitioner) submitted a letter stating that 

it does not oppose the scope exclusion 

language proposed by Pitsco.3 From 

October 25, 2017, through November 8, 

2017,4 Commerce consulted with both 

Pitsco and SolarWorld regarding 

revisions to the proposed exclusion 

language; specifically, Commerce 

suggested limiting the language to a 

description of the physical 

characteristics of the product and also 

expressed concerns regarding the 

dimensions indicated in the 

description.5 Accordingly, on November 

10, 2017, Pitsco submitted revised 

exclusion language based on these 

consultations.6 On November 13, 2017, 

SolarWorld submitted a letter stating 

that it does not oppose the revised 

exclusion language submitted by Pitsco 

on November 10, 2017.7

On November 27, 2017, Commerce 

published the notice of initiation of the 

requested changed circumstances 

reviews.8 On December 26, 2017, 

Commerce published the preliminary 

results of these CCRs, in which it found 

that producers accounting for 

substantially all of the production of the 

domestic like product to which the 

Orders pertain lack interest in the relief 

afforded by the Orders with respect to 

certain solar panels of a sufficiently 

small size, voltage, amperage, and 

wattage, among other characteristics, as 

described in Pitsco’s request.9

Commerce invited interested parties to 

submit comments on the preliminary 

results. We received no comments. 

Final Results of Changed 

Circumstances Reviews, and 

Revocation of the Orders, in Part 

Because no party submitted 

comments opposing Commerce’s 

preliminary results, and the record 

contains no other information or 

evidence that calls into question the 

preliminary results, Commerce 

determines, pursuant to section 

751(d)(1) of the Act, section 782(h) of 

the Act, and 19 CFR 351.222(g), that 

there are changed circumstances that 

warrant revocation of the Orders, in 

part. Specifically, because the producers 

accounting for substantially all of the 

production of the domestic like product 

to which the Orders pertain lack interest 

in the relief provided by the Orders with 

respect to the following type of solar 

panels, we are revoking the Orders, in 

part, for solar panels that: (1) Have a 

surface area from 3,450 mm2 to 33,782 

mm2; (2) have one black wire and one 

red wire (each of type 22 AWG or 24 

AWG not more than 206 mm in length 

when measured from panel extrusion); 

(3) do not exceed 2.9 volts, 1.1 amps, 

and 3.19 watts; and (4) do not contain 

an internal battery or external computer 

peripheral ports. The scope description 

below includes this exclusion language. 

Scope of the AD and CVD Orders on 

Certain Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaic 

Cells, Whether or Not Assembled Into 

Modules, From the People’s Republic of 

China 

The merchandise covered by the 

Orders 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. 

The Orders cover crystalline silicon 

photovoltaic cells of thickness equal to 

or greater than 20 micrometers, having 

a p/n junction formed by any means, 

whether or not the cell has undergone 

other processing, including, but not 

limited to, cleaning, etching, coating, 

and/or addition of materials (including, 

but not limited to, metallization and 

conductor patterns) to collect and 

forward the electricity that is generated 

by the cell. 

Merchandise under consideration 

may be described at the time of 

importation as parts for final finished 

products that are assembled after 

importation, including, but not limited 

to, modules, laminates, panels, 

building-integrated modules, buildingintegrated panels, or other finished 

goods kits. Such parts that otherwise 

meet the definition of merchandise 

under consideration are included in the 

scope of the Orders. 

Excluded from the scope of the Orders 

are thin film photovoltaic products 

produced from amorphous silicon (a-Si), 

cadmium telluride (CdTe), or copper 

indium gallium selenide (CIGS). 

Also excluded from the scope of the 

Orders are crystalline silicon 

photovoltaic cells, not exceeding 10,000 

mm2 in surface area, that are 

permanently integrated into a consumer 

good whose function is other than 

power generation and that consumes the 

electricity generated by the integrated 

crystalline silicon photovoltaic cell. 

Where more than one cell is 

permanently integrated into a consumer 

good, the surface area for purposes of 

this exclusion shall be the total 

combined surface area of all cells that 

are integrated into the consumer good. 

Additionally, excluded from the 

scope of these Orders are panels with 

surface area from 3,450 mm2 to 33,782 

mm2 with one black wire and one red 

wire (each of type 22 AWG or 24 AWG 

not more than 206 mm in length when 

measured from panel extrusion), and 

not exceeding 2.9 volts, 1.1 amps, and 

3.19 watts. For the purposes of this 

exclusion, no panel shall contain an 

internal battery or external computer 

peripheral ports. 

Modules, laminates, and panels 

produced in a third-country from cells 

produced in China are covered by the 

Orders; however, modules, laminates, 

and panels produced in China from 

cells produced in a third-country are not 

covered by the Orders. 

Merchandise covered by these Orders 

is currently classified in the 

Harmonized Tariff System of the United 

States (HTSUS) under subheadings 

8501.61.0000, 8507.20.80, 8541.40.6020, 

8541.40.6030, and 8501.31.8000. These 

HTSUS subheadings are provided for 

convenience and customs purposes; the 

written description of the scope of the 

Orders is dispositive.

review of the AD order (A–570–979) was completed 

on June 20, 2017, and covered December 1, 2014, 

through November 30, 2015. Therefore, the partial 

revocation for merchandise subject to the AD orders 

will be applied retroactively to unliquidated entries 

of merchandise entered or withdrawn from 

warehouse, for consumption, on or after December 

1, 2015. The most recently completed 

administrative review of the CVD order (C–570– 

980) was completed on July 10, 2017, and covered 

January 1, 2014, through December 31, 2014. 

Therefore, the partial revocation for merchandise 

subject to the CVD order will be applied 

retroactively to unliquidated entries of merchandise 

entered or withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption, on or after January 1, 2015. 

Instructions to U.S. Customs and 

Border Protection 

Because we determine that there are 

changed circumstances that warrant the 

revocation of the Orders, in part, we 

will instruct U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection (CBP) to liquidate without 

regard to antidumping and 

countervailing duties, and to refund any 

estimated antidumping and 

countervailing duties, on all 

unliquidated entries of the merchandise 

covered by this partial revocation that 

are not covered by the final results of an 

administrative review or automatic 

liquidation.10

Notification to Interested Parties 

This notice serves as a reminder to 

parties subject to an administrative 

protective order (APO) of their 

responsibility concerning the 

disposition of proprietary information 

disclosed under APO in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely 

written notification of the return/ 

destruction of APO materials or 

conversion to judicial protective order is 

hereby requested. Failure to comply 

with the regulations and terms of an 

APO is a sanctionable violation. 

We are issuing and publishing these 

final results and revocation, in part, and 

notice in accordance with sections 

751(b) and 777(i) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.216, 19 CFR 351.221(c)(3), and 19
