FRNoticesListLayout.aspx. 

Scope of the Investigation 

The products covered by this 

investigation are solar cells from 

Malaysia. For a complete description of 

the scope of this investigation, see 

Appendix I. 

Scope Comments 

In accordance with the Preamble to 

Commerce’s regulations,5 the Initiation 

Notice set aside a period of time for 

parties to raise issues regarding product 

coverage (i.e., scope).6 Certain interested 

parties commented on the scope of the 

investigation as it appeared in the 

Initiation Notice. For a summary of the 

product coverage comments and 

rebuttal responses submitted to the 

record for this preliminary 

determination, and accompanying 

discussion and analysis of all comments 

timely received, see the Preliminary 

Scope Decision Memoranda.7

Commerce is preliminarily modifying 

the scope language as it appeared in the 

Initiation Notice, provided in Appendix 

I to this notice. The deadline for scoperelated case and rebuttal briefs is 

established in the Preliminary Scope 

Decision Memoranda. 

Methodology 

Commerce is conducting this 

investigation in accordance with section 

731 of the Act. Constructed export 

prices have been calculated in 

accordance with section 772(b) of the 

Act. Normal value is calculated in 

accordance with section 773 of the Act. 

In addition, pursuant to section 776(a) 

and (b) of the Act, Commerce has 

preliminarily relied upon facts 

otherwise available, with adverse 

inferences, for Baojia New Energy 

Manufacturing Sdn., CRC Solar Cell 

Joint Stock Company, Lynter Enterprise, 

and Mega PP Sdn. Bhd. For a full 

description of the methodology 

underlying the preliminary 

determination, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum. 

All-Others Rate 

Sections 733(d)(1)(ii) and 735(c)(5)(A) 

of the Act provide that, in the 

preliminary determination, Commerce 

shall determine an estimated weightedaverage dumping margin, i.e., all-others 

rate, for all exporters and producers not 

individually examined. This rate shall 

be an amount equal to the weighted 

average of the estimated weightedaverage dumping margins established 

for exporters and producers 

individually investigated, excluding any 

zero and de minimis margins, and any 

margins determined entirely under 

section 776 of the Act. 

In this investigation, Commerce 

preliminarily calculated a zero rate for 

Hanwha Q Cells Malaysia Sdn. Bhd 

(Hanwha Q Cells). Therefore, the only 

rate that is not zero, de minimis, or 

based entirely on facts otherwise 

available is the rate calculated for Jinko 

Solar Technology Sdn. Bhd. (Jinko 

Solar). Consequently, the rate calculated 

for Jinko Solar is also assigned as the 

rate for all other producers and 

exporters. 

Preliminary Determination 

Commerce preliminarily determines 

that the following estimated weightedaverage dumping margins exist:

13We use the term ‘‘issue’’ here to describe an 

argument that Commerce would normally address 

in a comment of the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum. 

14See APO and Service Final Rule. 

Suspension of Liquidation 

In accordance with section 733(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 Appendix 

I, entered, or withdrawn from 

warehouse, for consumption, on or after 

the date of publication of this notice in 

the Federal Register, except as noted 

below for Hanwha Q Cells. Further, 

pursuant to section 733(d)(1)(B) of the 

Act and 19 CFR 351.205(d), Commerce 

will instruct CBP to require a cash 

deposit equal to the estimated weightedaverage dumping margin, as adjusted for 

export subsidies, as follows: (1) the cash 

deposit rate for the respondents listed 

above will be equal to the companyspecific estimated weighted-average 

dumping margins determined in this 

preliminary determination; (2) if the 

exporter is not a respondent identified 

above, but the producer is, then the cash 

deposit rate will be equal to the 

company-specific estimated weightedaverage dumping margin established for 

that producer of the subject 

merchandise; and (3) the cash deposit 

rate for all other producers and 

exporters will be equal to the all-others 

estimated weighted-average dumping 

margin. 

Commerce normally adjusts cash 

deposits for estimated antidumping 

duties by the amount of export subsidies 

countervailed in a companion 

countervailing duty (CVD) proceeding. 

Accordingly, where Commerce 

preliminarily made an affirmative 

determination for countervailable export 

subsidies, Commerce has offset the 

estimated weighted-average dumping 

margin by the appropriate CVD rate. 

Any such adjusted cash deposit rate 

may be found in the ‘‘Preliminary 

Determination’’ section above. 

Should provisional measures in the 

companion CVD investigation expire 

prior to the expiration of provisional 

measures in this LTFV investigation, 

Commerce will direct CBP to begin 

collecting estimated antidumping duty 

cash deposits unadjusted for 

countervailed export subsidies at the 

time that the provisional CVD measures 

expire. These suspension of liquidation 

instructions will remain in effect until 

further notice. 

Because the estimated weightedaverage dumping margin for Hanwha Q 

Cells is zero, entries of subject 

merchandise produced and exported by 

Hanwha Q Cells will not be subject to 

suspension of liquidation or cash 

deposit requirements. In such 

situations, Commerce applies the 

exclusion to the provisional measures to 

the producer/exporter combination that 

was examined in the investigation. 

Accordingly, Commerce is directing 

CBP not to suspend the liquidation of 

entries of subject merchandise that was 

exported and produced by Hanwha Q 

Cells. Entries of shipments of subject 

merchandise from this company in any 

other producer/exporter combination, or 

by third parties that sourced subject 

merchandise from the excluded 

producer/exporter combination, are 

subject to the provisional measures at 

the all-others rate. 

Should the final estimated weightedaverage dumping margin be zero or de 

minimis for the producer/exporter 

combination identified above, entries of 

shipments of subject merchandise from 

this producer/exporter combination will 

be excluded from the potential 

antidumping duty order. Such 

exclusions are not applicable to 

merchandise exported to the United 

States by this respondent in any other 

producer/exporter combination or by 

third parties that sourced subject 

merchandise from the excluded 

producer/exporter combination. 

Disclosure 

Commerce intends to disclose its 

calculations and analysis performed to 

interested parties in this preliminary 

determination within five days of any 

public announcement or, if there is no 

public announcement, within five days 

of the date of publication 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 or do not satisfy the 

significance standard under 19 CFR 

351.224(g) following the preliminary 

determination. Instead, Commerce will 

address such allegations in the final 

determination if the ministerial error 

allegation is included 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, to allow interested 

parties to comment on our preliminary 

scope decision at that time. For all 

scope case and rebuttal briefs, parties 

must file identical documents 

simultaneously on the records of the 

ongoing LTFV and CVD investigations 

of solar cells from Cambodia, Malaysia, 

the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, and 

Thailand. No new factual information or 

business proprietary information may be 

included in either scope case or rebuttal 

briefs. 

Case briefs or other written comments 

regarding non-scope issues may be 

submitted to the Assistant Secretary for 

Enforcement and Compliance no later 

than seven days after the date on which 

the last verification report is issued in 

this investigation.10 Rebuttal briefs, 

limited to issues raised in the case 

briefs, may be filed not later than five 

days after the date for filing case 

briefs.11 Interested parties who submit 

case briefs or rebuttal briefs in this 

proceeding must submit: (1) a table of 

contents listing each issue; and (2) a 

table of authorities.12

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.13 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 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 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).14

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 to the Assistant

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 date. 

Postponement of Final Determination 

and Extension of Provisional Measures 

Section 735(a)(2) of the Act provides 

that a final determination may be 

postponed until not later than 135 days 

after the date of the publication of the 

preliminary determination if, in the 

event of an affirmative preliminary 

determination, a request for such 

postponement is made by exporters who 

account for a significant proportion of 

exports of the subject merchandise, or in 

the event of a negative preliminary 

determination, a request for such 

postponement is made by the petitioner. 

Section 351.210(e)(2) of Commerce’s 

regulations requires that a request by 

exporters for postponement of the final 

determination be accompanied by a 

request for extension of provisional 

measures from a four-month period to a 

period not more than six months in 

duration. 

On November 8, 2024, pursuant to 19 

CFR 351.210(e), Jinko Solar requested 

that Commerce postpone the final 

determination and that provisional 

measures be extended to a period not to 

exceed six months.15 In accordance with 

section 735(a)(2)(A) of the Act and 19 

CFR 351.210(b)(2)(ii), because: (1) the 

preliminary determination is 

affirmative; (2) the requesting exporter 

accounts for a significant proportion of 

exports of the subject merchandise; and 

(3) no compelling reasons for denial 

exist, Commerce is postponing the final 

determination and extending the 

provisional measures from a four-month 

period to a period not greater than six 

months. Accordingly, Commerce will 

make its final determination no later 

than 135 days after the date of 

publication of this preliminary 

determination. 

U.S. International Trade Commission 

Notification 

In accordance with section 733(f) of 

the Act, Commerce will notify the U.S. 

International Trade Commission (ITC) of 

its preliminary determination. If the 

final determination is affirmative, the 

ITC will determine before the later of 

120 days after the date of this 

preliminary determination or 45 days 

after the final determination whether 

these imports are materially injuring, or 

threaten material injury to, the U.S. 

industry.
