from State and Federal government 

antitrust actions and from private treble 

damage antitrust actions for the export 

conduct specified in the Certificate and 

carried out in compliance with its terms 

and conditions. The regulations 

implementing Title III are found at 15 

CFR part 325. OTEA is issuing this 

notice pursuant to 15 CFR 325.6(b), 

which requires the Secretary of 

Commerce to publish a summary of the 

certification in the Federal Register. 

Under section 305(a) of the Act and 15 

CFR 325.11(a), any person aggrieved by 

the Secretary’s determination may, 

within 30 days of the date of this notice, 

bring an action in any appropriate 

district court of the United States to set 

aside the determination on the ground 

that the determination is erroneous. 

Description of Certified Conduct 

ALCC’s Certificate is amended as 

follows: 

1. Added the following six products 

as Export Products within the meaning 

of section 325.2(j) of the Regulations (15 

CFR 325.2(j)): 

a. Headed and gutted pollock 

b. Headed and gutted sablefish 

c. Sablefish heads 

d. Sablefish collars 

e. Headed, gutted, and tailed Greenland 

turbot 

f. Turbot heads 

Under Export Trade in the Certificate, 

the Export Products are as follows: 

ALCC plans to export frozen at-sea, 

headed and gutted, Alaska cod (Gadus 

macrocephalus), also known as Pacific 

cod. Headed and gutted means the head 

and viscera are removed prior to 

freezing. Frozen-at-sea means that the 

Alaska cod is frozen on the longline 

catcher-processor vessel while at-sea 

immediately after being headed and 

gutted. The catch accrues against cod 

allocations to the Members. 

ALCC also plans to export byproducts 

of ALCC frozen-at-sea, headed and 

gutted Alaska cod, caught via hook-andline gear: cod heads; cod collars; cod 

roe; cod chu; cod milt; ray wings; 

headed and gutted pollock; headed and 

gutted sablefish; sablefish heads; and 

sablefish collars. The cod heads, cod 

collars, cod roe, cod chu, and cod milt 

are derived from parts of the Alaska cod 

remaining after the heading-and-gutting 

of the cod to produce frozen-at-sea 

headed and gutted Alaska cod. The ray 

wings are derived from various species 

of skate, which are caught incidentally 

while targeting Alaska cod. The 

remaining products are also caught 

incidentally while targeting Alaska cod, 

except as specified below. 

ALCC also plans to export the 

following products and byproducts 

caught on longline catcher- processor 

vessels using longline hook-and-line 

and longline pot gear: headed and 

gutted sablefish; sablefish heads; 

sablefish collars. The catch accrues 

against sablefish allocations to the 

Members. 

ALCC also plans to export the 

following products and byproducts 

caught on longline catcher- processor 

vessels using longline hook-and-line 

gear and, when permitted by regulation, 

longline pot gear: headed, gutted, and 

tailed Greenland turbot; and turbot 

heads. The catch accrues against 

Greenland turbot allocations to the 

members. 

ALCC’s Membership remains the 

same following the amendment: 

1. Akulurak LLC, Seattle, WA; 

2. Alaskan Leader Fisheries LLC, 

Lynden, WA; 

3. Alaskan Leader Seafoods LLC,

Order is dispositive.5

Amendment of the Appendix V 

Certification 

Hanwha requested that the Appendix 

V Certification provided for Hanwha in 

the Solar Cells Circumvention be 

amended to include additional 

unaffiliated wafer suppliers.6 See 

Appendix II for the Appendix V 

Certification.7 Commerce is affording 

business proprietary information 

treatment to the names of the wafer 

supplier/exporters. For a table of the 

names of the additional wafer suppliers/ 

exporters please refer to the proprietary 

version of this certification on file 

electronically via Enforcement and 

Compliance’s Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Centralized 

Electronic Service System (ACCESS). 

Analysis of Comments Received 

All issues raised in the case brief are 

addressed in the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum,8 and are listed in 

Appendix I. The Issues and Decision 

Memorandum is a public document and 

is on file electronically via ACCESS. 

ACCESS is available to registered users 

at https://access.trade.gov. In addition, a 

complete version of the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum can be accessed 

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

public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx. 

Final Results of CCR 

Upon review of the comments 

received, Commerce continues to 

determine it is appropriate to amend the 

Appendix V certification for Hanwha, 

provided in Solar Cells Circumvention, 

by adding the additional unaffiliated 

wafer suppliers identified in Hanwha’s 

CCR requests. We continue to find it 

appropriate not to amend the Appendix 

V certifications to require that Hanwha 

only certify that the wafers used to 

produce solar cells for export to the 

United States are Chinese in origin. 

Application of the Final Results of CCR 

Hanwha requested that Commerce 

apply the final results of these reviews 

retroactively to the date of publication 

of the final determination in Solar Cells 

Circumvention, or alternatively, to the 

date it filed its changed circumstance 

requests (i.e., May 6, 2024). Commerce 

has determined it is appropriate to 

retroactively apply the amended 

Appendix V certification to May 6, 

2024. For further details, please see the 

Issues and Decision Memorandum. 

For all solar cells or solar modules 

from Malaysia that were entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption during the period May 6, 

2024 (the date Hanwha filed these CCR 

requests) through the date of publication 

of the final results of these CCRs in the 

Federal Register, where the entry has 

not been liquidated (and entries for 

which liquidation has not become final), 

certifications pursuant to this CCR, 

should be completed and signed as soon 

as practicable, but not later than 45 days 

after the date of publication of these 

final determinations in the Federal 

Register. 

On December 8, 2022, Commerce 

implemented certification requirements 

for certain entries of subject 

merchandise.9 The importer, or the 

importer’s agent, must submit any 

required certifications to U.S. Customs 

and Border Protection (CBP) as part of 

the entry process by uploading them 

into the document imaging system in 

CBP’s Automated Commercial 

Environment at the time of entry 

summary filing. Consistent with CBP’s 

procedures, importers shall identify 

entries required to have certifications by 

using importers’ additional declaration 

(record 54) AD/CVD Certification 

Designation (type code 06) when filing 

entry summary.10

Instructions to U.S. Customs and 

Border Protection (CBP) 

Because we determine that there are 

changed circumstances that warrant a 

retroactive change to Hanwha’s 

Appendix V certification, we will 

instruct 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 the amended 

certification, effective May 6, 2024. 

Commerce intends to issue instructions 

to CBP no earlier than 35 days after the 

date of publication of the final result of 

these CCRs in the Federal Register. If a 

timely summons is filed at the U.S. 

Court of International Trade, the 

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). 

Administrative Protective Order 

This notice serves as a final 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 or 

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. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

This notice is published in 

accordance with sections 751(b)(1) and 

777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 

351.221(b)(1), and 19 CFR 351.221(c)(3).

after the conclusion of any litigation in 

United States courts regarding such entries. 

(J) I understand that {NAME OF 

IMPORTING COMPANY} is required to 

maintain a copy of the exporter’s certification 

(attesting to information regarding the 

production and/or exportation of the 

imported merchandise identified above), and 

any supporting documentation provided to 

the importer by the exporter, until the later

(M) I understand that failure to maintain 

the required certifications and supporting 

documentation, or failure to substantiate the 

claims made herein, or not allowing CBP

determination that all entries to which this 

certification applies are entries of 

merchandise that is covered by the scope of 

the antidumping and countervailing duty 

orders on solar cells and solar modules from 

China. I understand that such a finding will 

result in: 

(i) suspension of liquidation of all 

unliquidated entries (and entries for which 

liquidation has not become final) for which 

these requirements were not met; 

(ii) the importer being required to post the 

antidumping duty and countervailing duty 

cash deposits determined by Commerce; and

importer, such as brokers, are not permitted 

to make this certification. 

(O) This certification was completed and 

signed on, or prior to, the date of the entry 

summary if the entry date is more than 14 

days after the date of publication of the 

notice of Commerce’s preliminary 

determination of circumvention in the 

Federal Register. If the entry date is on or 

before the 14th day after the date of 

publication of the notice of Commerce’s 

preliminary determination of circumvention 

in the Federal Register, this certification was 

completed and signed by no later than 45 

days after publication of the notice of 

Commerce’s preliminary determination of 

circumvention in the Federal Register. 

(P) I am aware that U.S. law (including, but 

not limited to, 18 U.S.C. 1001) imposes 

criminal sanctions on individuals who 

knowingly and willfully make materially 

false statements to the U.S. government.
