preliminary affirmative determination 

in the less-than-fair-value (LTFV) 

investigation of crystalline silicon 

photovoltaic cells, whether or not 

assembled into modules (solar cells) 

from the Socialist Republic of Vietnam 

(Vietnam) to correct for a significant 

ministerial error. The period of 

investigation (POI) is October 1, 2023, 

through March 31, 2024. 

DATES: Applicable January 2, 2025.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On December 4, 2024, Commerce 

published in the Federal Register its 

preliminary affirmative determination 

in the LTFV investigation of solar cells 

from Vietnam.1 On December 9, 2024, 

the American Alliance for Solar 

Manufacturing Trade Committee, a 

coalition of domestic producers of solar 

cells and modules (collectively, the 

petitioner), timely alleged that 

Commerce made a significant 

ministerial error in calculating Jinko 

Solar (Vietnam) Industries Co., Ltd.’s 

(Jinko) estimated weighted-average 

dumping margin.2

Scope of the Investigation 

The products covered by this 

investigation are solar cells from 

Vietnam. For a complete description of 

the scope of this investigation, see the 

Preliminary Determination. 

Legal Framework 

A ministerial error is defined as 

including ‘‘errors in addition, 

subtraction, or other arithmetic 

function, clerical error resulting from 

inaccurate copying, duplication, or the 

like, and any other similar type of 

unintentional error which {Commerce} 

considers ministerial.’’ 3 A ministerial 

error is considered to be ‘‘significant’’ if 

its correction, either singly or in 

combination with other errors, would 

result in: (1) a change of at least five 

absolute percentage points in, but not 

less than 25 percent of, the weightedaverage dumping margin calculated in 

the preliminary determination; or (2) a 

difference between a weighted-average 

dumping margin of zero (or de minimis) 

and a weighted-average dumping 

margin of greater than de minimis or 

vice versa.4 Pursuant to 19 CFR 

351.224(e), Commerce ‘‘will analyze any 

comments received and, if appropriate, 

correct any significant ministerial error 

by amending the preliminary 

determination.’’ 

Analysis of Significant Ministerial 

Error 

In the Preliminary Determination, 

Commerce made a significant 

ministerial error within the meaning of 

section 735(e) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.224(f) and (g)(1) in calculating the 

estimated weighted-average dumping 

margin for Jinko. Accordingly, pursuant 

to 19 CFR 351.224(e), Commerce is 

amending its Preliminary Determination 

to correct for this significant ministerial 

error by revising the weighted-average 

dumping margins for Jinko and the nonindividually examined separate rate 

companies. For a detailed discussion of 

the alleged ministerial error, as well as 

Commerce’s analysis, see the Ministerial 

Error Memorandum.5

Amended Preliminary Determination 

As a result of correcting the 

significant ministerial error, Commerce 

determines the following estimated 

weighted-average dumping margins 

exist:
