Countervailing Duty Order 

In accordance with sections 

705(b)(1)(A)(i) and 705(d) of the Act, the 

ITC notified the Department of its final 

determination that the industry in the 

United States producing steel wire rod 

is materially injured by reason of 

subsidized imports of steel wire rod 

from the PRC. Therefore, in accordance 

with section 705(c)(2) of the Act, we are 

publishing this CVD order. 

Pursuant to section 706(a) of the Act, 

the Department will direct U.S. Customs 

and Border Protection (CBP) to assess, 

upon further instruction by the 

Department, CVDs on unliquidated 

entries of steel wire rod entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after July 8, 2014, 

the date on which the Department 

published its affirmative Preliminary 

Determination 5 in the Federal Register, 

and before November 5, 2014, the date 

on which the Department instructed 

CBP to discontinue the suspension of 

liquidation in accordance with section 

703(d) of the Act. Section 703(d) of the 

Act states that the suspension of 

liquidation pursuant to a preliminary 

determination may not remain in effect 

for more than four months. Entries of 

steel wire rod made on or after 

November 5, 2014, and prior to the date 

of publication of the ITC’s final 

determination in the Federal Register 

are not liable for assessment of CVDs, 

due to the Department’s 

discontinuation, effective November 5, 

2014, of the suspension of liquidation. 

With regard to the ITC’s negative 

critical circumstances determination, 

the Department will instruct CBP to lift 

suspension and refund any cash 

deposits of estimated CVDs for entries 

on or after April 9, 2014 (i.e., 90 days 

prior to the date of the Preliminary 

Determination), but before July 8, 2014. 

Suspension of Liquidation 

In accordance with section 706 of the 

Act, the Department will direct CBP to 

reinstitute the suspension of liquidation 

of steel wire rod from the PRC, effective 

the date of publication of the ITC’s 

notice of final determination in the 

Federal Register, and to assess, upon 

further instruction by the Department 

pursuant to section 706(a)(1) of the Act, 

CVDs for each entry of the subject 

merchandise in an amount based on the 

net countervailable subsidy rates for the 

subject merchandise. CBP must require, 

at the same time as importers would 

normally deposit estimated duties on 

this merchandise, a cash deposit equal 

to the rates listed below: 

Company Subsidy rate 

(percent) 

Benxi Steel 6 ......................... 193.31

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Scope of the Investigation 

The merchandise covered by this 

investigation 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.1

Methodology 

The Department is conducting this 

countervailing duty review in 

accordance with section 751(a)(1)(A) of 

the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 

Act). For each of the subsidy programs 

found countervailable, we determine 

that there is a subsidy, i.e., a financial 

contribution by an ‘‘authority’’ that 

confers a benefit to the recipient, and 

that the subsidy is specific.2 For a full 

description of the methodology 

underlying our preliminary conclusions, 

including our reliance, in part, on 

adverse facts available pursuant to 

sections 776(a) and (b) of the Act, see 

the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum.3 The Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum is a public 

document and is on file electronically 

via Enforcement and Compliance’s 

Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 

Centralized Electronic Service System 

(ACCESS).4 ACCESS is available to 

registered users at http://

access.trade.gov, and is available to all 

parties in the Central Records Unit, 

room 7046 of the main Department of 

Commerce building. In addition, a 

complete version of the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum can be accessed 

directly on the Internet at http://

enforcement.trade.gov/frn/index.html. 

The signed Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum and the electronic 

versions of the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum are identical in content. 

Partial Rescission of the 2012 

Administrative Review 

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

Department 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. SolarWorld 

Industries America, Inc. (Petitioner) 

submitted the withdrawal of its review 

request within the deadline set forth 

under 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1). Therefore, 

in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.213(d)(1), the Department is 

rescinding this review of the 

countervailing duty order on solar cells 

from the PRC with respect to the 

companies listed in Appendix II. No 

other party requested a review of any of 

the companies listed in Appendix II. 

The review will continue with respect 

to the other companies for which a 

review was requested: The mandatory 

respondents Lightway and Shanghai 

BYD, and the remaning companies not 

selected for individual review, listed in 

Appendix III. 

Companies Not Selected for Individual 

Review 

For the companies not selected for 

individual review (see Appendix III), 

because the rates calculated for 

Lightway and Shanghai BYD were above 

de minimis and not based entirely on 

facts available, we applied a subsidy 

rate based on a weighted average of the 

subsidy rates calculated for Lightway 

and Shanghai BYD using publicly 

ranged sales data submitted by 

respondents. 

Preliminary Results of Review 

As a result of this review, we 

preliminarily determine the 

countervailable subsidy rates to be: 

Company Subsidy rate 

(percent) 

Lightway Green New Energy 

Co., Ltd ............................. 22.73 

Shanghai BYD Co. Ltd. and 

its cross-owned affiliates 5 8.63 

Remaining Companies Subject to Review 6 ................. 15.68

Act, we intend to issue the final results 

of this administrative review, including 

the results of our analysis of the issues 

raised by the parties in their comments, 

within 120 days after issuance of these 

preliminary results. 

Assessment Rates and Cash Deposit 

Requirement 

In accordance with 19 CFR 

351.221(b)(4)(i), we assigned a subsidy 

rate for each producer/exporter subject 

to this administrative review. Upon 

issuance of the final results, the 

Department shall determine, and U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 

shall assess, countervailing duties on all 

appropriate entries covered by this 

review. We intend to issue instructions 

to CBP 15 days after publication of the 

final results of review. 

Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the 

Act, the Department also intends to 

instruct CBP to collect cash deposits of 

estimated countervailing duties, in the 

amounts shown above for each of the 

respective companies shown above, on 

shipments of subject merchandise 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after the date of 

publication of the final results of this 

review. For all non-reviewed firms, we 

will instruct CBP to continue to collect 

cash deposits at the most-recent 

company-specific or all-others rate 

applicable to the company, as 

appropriate. These cash deposit 

requirements, when imposed, shall 

remain in effect until further notice. 

These preliminary results are issued 

and published in accordance with 

sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the 

Act, and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4).
