certify to the accuracy and completeness 

of that information.7 Parties are hereby 

reminded that revised certification 

requirements are in effect for company/ 

government officials as well as their 

representatives. Ongoing segments of 

any antidumping duty or countervailing 

duty proceedings initiated on or after 

March 14, 2011 should use the formats 

for the revised certifications provided at 

the end of the Interim Final Rule.8 All 

segments of any antidumping duty or 

countervailing duty proceedings 

initiated on or after August 16, 2013, 

should use the formats for the revised 

certifications provided at the end of the 

Final Rule.9 The Department intends to 

reject factual submissions in any 

proceeding segments if the submitting 

party does not comply with applicable 

revised certification requirements. 

Revised Extension of Time Limits 

Regulation 

On September 20, 2013, the 

Department modified its regulation 

concerning the extension of time limits 

for submissions in antidumping and 

countervailing duty proceedings: Final 

Rule, 78 FR 57790 (September 20, 2013). 

The modification clarifies that parties 

may request an extension of time limits 

before a time limit established under 

Part 351 expires, or as otherwise 

specified by the Secretary. In general, an 

extension request will be considered 

untimely if it is filed after the time limit 

established under Part 351 expires. For 

submissions which are due from 

multiple parties simultaneously, an 

extension request will be considered 

untimely if it is filed after 10:00 a.m. on 

the due date. Examples include, but are 

not limited to: (1) Case and rebuttal 

briefs, filed pursuant to 19 CFR 351.309; 

(2) factual information to value factors 

under 19 CFR 351.408(c), or to measure 

the adequacy of remuneration under 19 

CFR 351.511(a)(2), filed pursuant to 19 

CFR 351.301(c)(3) and rebuttal, 

clarification and correction filed 

pursuant to 19 CFR 351.301(c)(3)(iv); (3) 

comments concerning the selection of a 

surrogate country and surrogate values 

and rebuttal; (4) comments concerning 

U.S. Customs and Border Protection 

data; and (5) quantity and value 

questionnaires. Under certain 

circumstances, the Department may 

elect to specify a different time limit by 

which extension requests will be 

considered untimely for submissions 

which are due from multiple parties 

simultaneously. In such a case, the 

Department will inform parties in the 

letter or memorandum setting forth the 

deadline (including a specified time) by 

which extension requests must be filed 

to be considered timely. This 

modification also requires that an 

extension request must be made in a 

separate, stand-alone submission, and 

clarifies the circumstances under which 

the Department will grant untimelyfiled requests for the extension of time 

limits. These modifications are effective 

for all segments initiated on or after 

October 21, 2013. Please review the 

final rule, available at http://www.gpo.

Continued 

June 9, 2014, the Government of the 

People’s Republic of China submitted a 

ministerial error allegation regarding 

aspects of the Preliminary 

Determination. On June 10, 2014, the 

mandatory company respondents, 

Changzhou Trina Solar Energy Co., Ltd. 

and its cross-owned affiliate Trina Solar 

(Changzhou) Science & Technology Co., 

Ltd. (Collectively, Trina Solar), and 

Wuxi Suntech Power Co., Ltd. and its 

cross-owned affiliates also submitted a 

ministerial error allegation. On July 31, 

2014, we aligned the final determination 

in this investigation with the final 

determination in the companion 

antidumping duty investigation on 

certain solar products from the PRC.3

On August 15, 2014, the Department 

rejected the Government of the People’s 

Republic of China’s (the GOC’s) June 9, 

2014, ministerial error allegation, as 

well as Trina Solar’s and Wuxi 

Suntech’s June 10, 2014, submissions, 

explaining that their submissions were 

noncompliant with the Department’s 

procedures for submitting factual 

information. Trina Solar and Wuxi 

Suntech each timely resubmitted their 

ministerial error allegations on August 

19, 2014. On August 21, 2014, the 

Department determined that no 

ministerial errors exist with respect to 

Trina Solar’s and Wuxi Suntech’s 

allegations.4 Between August 20 and 

September 2, 2014, we conducted 

verification of the questionnaire 

responses submitted by the GOC, Trina 

Solar, and Wuxi Suntech.5

On October 3, 2014, in response to 

interested parties’ comments on the 

scope of this investigation, the 

Department announced that it was 

considering the possibility of a scope 

clarification, described the possible 

clarification, and provided interested 

parties with an opportunity to submit 

comments on the potential 

clarification.6

Between October 16 and October 27, 

2014, interested parties submitted case 

and rebuttal briefs. We did not conduct 

a hearing in this proceeding, as any 

requests for a hearing were timely 

withdrawn. A full discussion of the 

issues raised by parties for this final 

determination may be found in the Final 

Decision Memorandum.7 The Final 

Decision Memorandum is a public 

document and is on file electronically 

via Enforcement and Compliance’s

The signed Final Decision 

Memorandum and the electronic 

version are identical in content. 

Scope Comments and Scope 

Clarification 

As indicated in the ‘‘Background’’ 

section above, the Department received 

comments regarding the scope of this 

investigation from numerous interested 

parties. The Department summarized 

these comments and addressed them in 

the accompanying Final Decision 

Memorandum.9 As explained in the 

Final Decision Memorandum, to 

facilitate the scope’s administrability 

and enforcement, we have clarified the 

scope language such that subject 

merchandise includes all modules, 

laminates and/or panels assembled in 

the PRC that contain crystalline silicon 

photovoltaic cells produced in a 

customs territory other than the PRC.10

The scope of the investigation for this 

final determination is below. 

Scope of the Investigation 

The merchandise covered by this 

investigation is modules, laminates and/ 

or panels consisting of crystalline 

silicon photovoltaic cells, whether or 

not partially or fully assembled into 

other products, including building 

integrated materials. For purposes of 

this investigation, subject merchandise 

includes modules, laminates and/or 

panels assembled in the PRC consisting 

of crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells 

produced in a customs territory other 

than the PRC. 

Subject merchandise includes 

modules, laminates and/or panels 

assembled in the PRC consisting of 

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. 

Excluded from the scope of this 

investigation 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 

this investigation are modules, 

laminates and/or panels assembled in 

the PRC, consisting of crystalline silicon 

photovoltaic cells, not exceeding 

10,000mm2 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 cells. 

Where more than one module, laminate 

and/or panel is permanently integrated 

into a consumer good, the surface area 

for purposes of this exclusion shall be 

the total combined surface area of all 

modules, laminates and/or panels that 

are integrated into the consumer good. 

Further, also excluded from the scope of 

this investigation are any products 

covered by the existing antidumping 

and countervailing duty orders on 

crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells, 

whether or not assembled into modules, 

laminates and/or panels, from the 

PRC.11

Analysis of Subsidy Programs and 

Comments Received 

The subsidy programs under 

investigation and the issues raised in 

the case and rebuttal briefs by parties in 

this investigation are discussed in the 

Final Decision Memorandum. A list of 

the issues that parties raised, and to 

which we responded in the Final 

Decision Memorandum, is attached to 

this notice as an Appendix. 

Use of Adverse Facts Available 

The Department notes that, in making 

these findings, we relied, in part, on 

facts available and, because one or more 

respondents did not act to the best of 

their ability to respond to the 

Department’s requests for information, 

we drew an adverse inference where 

appropriate in selecting from among the 

facts otherwise available.12 For further 

information, see the section ‘‘Use of 

Facts Otherwise Available and Adverse 

Inferences,’’ in the Final Decision 

Memorandum. 

Suspension of Liquidation 

In accordance with section 

705(c)(1)(B)(i) of the Act, we calculated 

a rate for each company respondent. 

Section 705(c)(5)(A)(i) of the Act states 

that, for companies not individually 

investigated, we will determine an ‘‘all 

others’’ rate equal to the weightedaverage countervailable subsidy rates 

established for exporters and producers 

individually investigated, excluding 

zero and de minimis countervailable 

subsidy rates, and any rates determined 

entirely under section 776 of the Act. 

In accordance with section 703(d) and 

705(c)(5)(A) of the Act, for companies 

not investigated, we apply an ‘‘all 

others’’ rate, which is normally 

calculated by weighing the subsidy rates 

of the individual companies selected as 

respondents by those companies’ 

exports of the subject merchandise to 

the United States. Under section 

705(c)(5)(A)(i) of the Act, the all others 

rate should exclude zero and de 

minimis rates calculated for the 

exporters and producers individually 

investigated. Where the rates for the 

investigated companies are all zero or 

de minimis, section 705(c)(5)(A)(ii) of 

the Act instructs the Department to 

establish an all others rate using ‘‘any 

reasonable method.’’ Notwithstanding 

the language of section 705(c)(5)(A)(i) of 

the Act, we have not calculated the all 

others rate by weight averaging the rates 

of the two individually investigated 

company respondents, because doing so 

risks disclosure of proprietary 

information. Therefore, and consistent 

with the Department’s practice, for the 

all others rate, we calculated a simple 

average of the two company 

respondents’ rates.13 We determine the 

total estimated net countervailable 

subsidy rates to be: 

Company 

Subsidy Rate 

(ad valorem) 

(Percent) 

Wuxi Suntech Power Co., 

Ltd. .................................... 27.64 

Changzhou Trina Solar Energy Co., Ltd. .................... 49.79 

All Others .............................. 38.72 

As a result of our Preliminary 

Determination, and pursuant to section 

703(d) of the Act, we instructed U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to 

suspend liquidation of all entries of 

merchandise under consideration from 

the PRC that were entered or withdrawn 

from warehouse, for consumption, on or 

after June 10, the date of publication of 

the Preliminary Determination in the 

Federal Register. In accordance with 

section 703(d) of the Act, we issued 

instructions to CBP to discontinue the 

suspension of liquidation for CVD 

purposes for subject merchandise 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

on or after October 8, 2014, but to 

continue the suspension of liquidation 

of all entries from June 10, 2014 through 

October 7, 2014.14

If the U.S. International Trade 

Commission (the ITC) issues a final 

affirmative injury determination, we 

will issue a CVD order and will reinstate 

the suspension of liquidation under 

section 706(a) of the Act and will 

require a cash deposit of estimated 

CVDs for such entries of subject 

merchandise in the amounts indicated 

above. If the ITC determines that 

material injury, or threat of material 

injury, does not exist, this proceeding 

will be terminated and all estimated 

duties deposited or securities posted as 

a result of the suspension of liquidation 

will be refunded or canceled. 

ITC Notification 

In accordance with section 705(d) of 

the Act, we will notify the ITC of our 

determination. In addition, we are 

making available to the ITC all nonprivileged and non-proprietary 

information related to this investigation. 

We will allow the ITC access to all 

privileged and business proprietary 

information in our files, provided the 

ITC confirms that it will not disclose 

such information, either publicly or 

under an administrative protective order 

(APO), without the written consent of 

the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement 

and Compliance. 

Return or Destruction of Proprietary 

Information 

In the event the ITC issues a final 

negative injury determination, this 

notice will serve as the only reminder 

to parties subject to an APO of their 

responsibility concerning the 

destruction 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 violation which is subject to 

sanction. 

This determination is issued and 

published pursuant to sections 705(d) 

and 777(i) of the Act.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On September 2, 2014, the 

Department of Commerce (the 

Department) published a notice of 

opportunity to request an administrative 

review of the antidumping duty order 

on certain lined paper products from the 

People’s Republic of China.1 Pursuant to 

a request from the Association of 

American School Paper Suppliers and 

its individual members (petitioners),2

the Department published in the 

Federal Register the notice of initiation 

of this antidumping duty administrative 

review with respect to Shanghai Lian Li 

Paper Products Co., Ltd. (Shanghai Lian 

Li) for the period September 1, 2013, 

through August 31, 2014. 

On October 30, 2014, the Department 

published the Notice of Initiation.3 On

Rescission of the 2013–2014 

Administrative Review 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the 

Secretary will rescind an administrative 

review, in whole or in part, if the parties 

that requested a review withdraw the 

request within 90 days of the date of 

publication of the notice of initiation of 

the requested review. The instant 

review was initiated on October 30, 

2014.4 Petitioners withdrew their 

request for a review on November 24, 

2014, which is within the 90-day 

deadline. No other party requested an 

administrative review of this segment of 

the proceeding. Therefore, in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), 

we are rescinding this review of the 

antidumping duty order on certain lined 

paper products from the People’s 

Republic of China. 

Assessment 

Antidumping duties shall be assessed 

at rates equal to the cash deposit of 

estimated antidumping duties required 

at the time of entry, or withdrawal from 

warehouse, for consumption, during the 

period September 1, 2013, through 

August 31, 2014. 

The Department intends to issue 

appropriate assessment instructions 

directly to CBP 15 days after publication 

of this notice. 

Notification to Importers 

This notice serves as a reminder to 

importers of their responsibility under 

19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate 

regarding the reimbursement of 

antidumping duties prior to liquidation 

of the relevant entries during this 

review period. Failure to comply with 

this requirement could result in the 

Secretary’s presumption that 

reimbursement of antidumping duties 

occurred and the subsequent increase in 

the amount of antidumping duties 

reimbursed. 

Notification Regarding Administrative 

Protective Order 

This notice serves as a final reminder 

to parties subject to administrative 

protective orders (APOs) of their 

responsibility concerning the 

disposition of proprietary information 

disclosed under an APO in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), which 

continues to govern business 

proprietary information in this segment 

of the proceeding. 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 violation 

which is subject to sanction. 

This notice is issued and published in 

accordance with section 777(i)(1) of the 

Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19 

CFR 351.213(d)(4).
