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entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 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

China (‘‘PRC’’). The period of review 

(‘‘POR’’) is May 25, 2012, through 

November 30, 2013. The administrative 

review covers two mandatory 

respondents, Yingli Energy (China) 

Company Limited and Wuxi Suntech 

Power Co., Ltd. The Department 

preliminarily finds that the mandatory 

respondent Yingli Energy (China) 

Company Limited sold subject 

merchandise in the United States at 

prices below normal value (‘‘NV’’) 

during the POR and that Wuxi Suntech 

Power Co., Ltd., is not eligible for a 

separate rate. Interested parties are 

invited to comment on these 

preliminary results.

respectively. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Scope of the Order 

The merchandise covered by the order 

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 Merchandise 

covered by this review is classifiable 

under subheading 8501.61.0000, 

8507.20.80, 8541.40.6020, 8541.40.6030, 

and 8501.31.8000 of the Harmonized 

Tariff Schedule of the United States 

(‘‘HTSUS’’). Although the HTSUS 

subheadings are provided for 

convenience and customs purposes, our 

written description of the scope of the 

order is dispositive. 

Preliminary Determination of No 

Shipments 

Based on an analysis of U.S. Customs 

and Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’) 

information, and comments provided by 

a number of companies, the Department 

preliminarily determines that 23 of the 

companies that claimed no shipments 

during this POR did not have any 

reviewable transactions during the 

POR.2 We found that two companies 

which claimed no exports, sales or 

entries of subject merchandise during 

the POR did, in fact, sell subject 

merchandise to the United States during 

the POR. Neither of these companies 

filed a separate rate application or 

certification and thus they have not 

established their entitlement to a 

separate rate in this review. For 

additional information regarding this 

determination, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum. 

Consistent with an announced 

refinement to its assessment practice in 

non-market economy (‘‘NME’’) cases, 

the Department is not rescinding this 

review, in part, but intends to complete 

the review with respect to the 

companies for which it has 

preliminarily found no shipments and 

issue appropriate instructions to CBP 

based on the final results of the review.3

Preliminary Affiliation and Single 

Entity Determination 

Based on record evidence, the 

Department preliminarily finds that the 

mandatory respondent Yingli Energy 

(China) Company Limited is affiliated 

with the following seven companies 

pursuant to section 771(33)(F) of the 

Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘the 

Act’’): (1) Baoding Tianwei Yingli New 

Energy Resources Co., Ltd.; (2) Tianjin 

Yingli New Energy Resources Co., Ltd.; 

(3) Hengshui Yingli New Energy 

Resources Co., Ltd.; (4) Lixian Yingli 

New Energy Resources Co., Ltd.; (5) 

Baoding Jiasheng Photovoltaic 

Technology Co., Ltd.; (6) Beijing 

Tianneng Yingli New Energy Resources 

Co., Ltd.; and (7) Hainan Yingli New 

Energy Resources Co., Ltd. (collectively 

‘‘Yingli’’). Furthermore, the Department 

preliminarily finds that the mandatory 

respondent Wuxi Suntech Power Co., 

Ltd. is affiliated with the following three 

companies pursuant to section 

771(33)(F) of the Act: (1) Luoyang 

Suntech Power Co., Ltd.; (2) Suntech 

Power Co., Ltd.; and (3) Wuxi Sunshine 

Power Co., Ltd. (collectively, ‘‘Wuxi 

Suntech Single Entity’’). In addition, 

based on the information presented in 

this review, we preliminarily find that 

each of the mandatory respondents and 

the respective companies listed above 

should be treated as a single company 

for the purposes of this review pursuant 

to 19 CFR 351.401(f). For additional 

information, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum. 

PRC-Wide Entity 

Several companies for which the 

Department initiated this review failed 

to respond to the Department’s request 

for quantity and value information. 

Therefore, these companies are not 

eligible for separate rate status.4

Accordingly, the Department 

preliminarily finds that the PRC-wide 

entity includes these companies. 

Furthermore, because necessary 

information is not available on the 

record and the PRC-wide entity 

withheld requested information, failed 

to provide information in a timely 

manner and in the form requested, and 

significantly impeded this proceeding, 

the Department relied on facts otherwise 

available (‘‘FA’’) to determine the PRCwide rate.5

Additionally, the Department finds 

that the PRC-wide entity failed to 

cooperate by not acting to the best of its 

ability to comply with a request for 

information. Therefore, pursuant to 

section 776(b) of the Act, the 

Department is using an adverse 

inference when selecting from among 

the facts otherwise available. Thus, the 

Department is relying on adverse facts 

available (‘‘AFA’’) in order to determine 

a margin for the PRC-wide entity, 

pursuant to sections 776(a)(1), 

776(a)(2)(A), (B), (C) and 776(b) of the 

Act. For additional information, see the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum. 

Verification 

As provided in section 782(i) of the 

Act, the Department verified 

information provided by Yingli. The 

Department conducted the verification 

using standard verification procedures 

including the examination of relevant 

sales and financial records and the 

selection and review of original 

documentation containing relevant 

information. The results of the

Department’s Central Records Unit, 

located in room 7046 of the main 

Department of Commerce building. 

Use of Partial Facts Available and 

Adverse Facts Available 

Section 776(a) of the Act provides that 

the Department shall apply FA if (1) 

necessary information is not on the 

record, or (2) an interested party or any 

other person (A) withholds information 

that has been requested, (B) fails to 

provide information within the 

deadlines established, or in the form 

and manner requested by the 

Department, subject to subsections (c)(1) 

and (e) of section 782 of the Act, (C) 

significantly impedes a proceeding, or 

(D) provides information that cannot be 

verified as provided by section 782(i) of 

the Act. 

Section 776(b) of the Act further 

provides that the Department may use 

an adverse inference in applying FA 

when a party has failed to cooperate by 

not acting to the best of its ability to 

comply with a request for information. 

Such an adverse inference may include 

reliance on information derived from 

the petition, the final determination, a 

previous administrative review, or other 

information placed on the record. 

Based on findings at verification, 

pursuant to sections 776(a) and (b) of 

the Act, we are applying partial AFA to 

a portion of Yingli’s U.S. sales. 

Moreover, Yingli did not report FOP 

data from certain suppliers or tollers 

based on the specific facts on the record 

of this review. Thus, because necessary 

information is not available on the 

record, and in accordance with section 

776(a)(1) of the Act, the Department is 

applying FA with respect to these 

unreported FOP data. For details 

regarding these determinations, see the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum. 

The Wuxi Suntech Single Entity’s 

Separate Rate Status 

Wuxi Sunshine, an exporter and 

member of the Wuxi Suntech Single 

Entity, reported that certain 

shareholders are state-owned 

companies.7 Because of the level of 

government ownership in Wuxi 

Sunshine, and the control or potential to 

exercise control that such ownership 

establishes, we preliminarily conclude 

that Wuxi Sunshine, and thus the Wuxi 

Suntech Single Entity, does not satisfy 

the criteria demonstrating an absence of 

de facto government control over export 

activities.8 Consequently, we 

preliminarily determine that the Wuxi 

Suntech Single Entity is ineligible for a 

separate rate. 

Rate for Separate-Rate Companies Not 

Individually Examined 

The statute and the Department’s 

regulations do not address the 

establishment of a rate to be applied to 

individual respondents not selected for 

examination when the Department 

limits its examination in an 

administrative review pursuant to 

section 777A(c)(2)(B) of the Act. 

Generally, the Department looks to 

section 735(c)(5) of the Act, which 

provides instructions for calculating the 

all-others rate in an investigation, for 

guidance when calculating the rate for 

respondents which we did not examine 

in an administrative review. Section 

735(c)(5)(A) of the Act articulates a 

preference that we are not to calculate 

an all-others rate using rates which are 

zero, de minimis or based entirely on 

facts available. Accordingly, the 

Department’s usual practice has been to 

average the weighted-average dumping 

margins for the selected companies, 

excluding rates that are zero, de 

minimis, or based entirely on facts 

available.9 Because we preliminarily 

determine that the Wuxi Suntech Single 

Entity is ineligible for a separate rate, 

the Department assigned to the 

companies that it did not individually 

examine, but which demonstrated their 

eligibility for a separate rate, a margin 

calculated for mandatory respondent 

Yingli. 

Methodology 

The Department conducted this 

review in accordance with section 

751(a)(1)(B) of the Act. The Department 

calculated export prices and constructed 

export prices in accordance with section 

772 of the Act. Given that the PRC is a 

NME country, within the meaning of 

section 771(18) of the Act, the 

Department calculated NV in 

accordance with section 773(c) of the 

Act. 

For a full description of the 

methodology underlying the 

preliminary results of this review, see 

the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. 

The Preliminary Decision Memorandum 

is a public document and is made 

available to the public via ACCESS. In 

addition, a complete version of the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum can 

be found at http://

enforcement.trade.gov/frn/. The signed

Disclosure and Public Comment 

The Department intends to disclose to 

parties the calculations performed for 

these preliminary results of review 

within five days of the date of 

publication of this notice in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.224(b). Interested 

parties may submit case briefs no later 

than 30 days after the date of 

publication of these preliminary results 

of review.13 Rebuttal briefs may be filed 

no later than five days after case briefs 

are due and may respond only to 

arguments raised in the case briefs.14 A 

table of contents, list of authorities used, 

and an executive summary of issues 

should accompany any briefs submitted 

to the Department. The summary should 

be limited to five pages total, including 

footnotes. 

Interested parties who wish to request 

a hearing must submit a written request 

to the Assistant Secretary for 

Enforcement and Compliance, U.S. 

Department of Commerce, within 30 

days after the date of publication of this 

notice.15 Requests should contain the 

party’s name, address, and telephone 

number, the number of participants, and 

a list of the issues to be discussed. Oral 

argument presentations will be limited 

to issues raised in the briefs. If a request 

for a hearing is made, the Department 

intends to hold the hearing at the U.S. 

Department of Commerce, 14th Street 

and Constitution Avenue NW., 

Washington, DC 20230, at a date and 

time to be determined.16 Parties should 

confirm by telephone the date, time, and 

location of the hearing two days before 

the scheduled date. 

All submissions, with limited 

exceptions, must be filed electronically 

using ACCESS.17 An electronically filed 

document must be received successfully 

in its entirety by the Department’s 

electronic records system, ACCESS, by 

5 p.m. Eastern Time (‘‘ET’’) on the due

electronic submission requirements 

must be filed manually (i.e., in paper 

form) with the APO/Dockets Unit in 

Room 1870 and stamped with the date 

and time of receipt by 5 p.m. ET on the

Unless otherwise extended, the 

Department intends to issue the final 

results of this administrative review, 

which will include the results of its 

analysis of issues raised in any briefs, 

within 120 days of publication of these 

preliminary results, pursuant to section 

751(a)(3)(A) of the Act. 

Assessment Rates 

Upon issuance of the final results of 

this review, the Department will 

determine, and CBP shall assess, 

antidumping duties on all appropriate 

entries covered by this review.19 The 

Department intends to issue assessment 

instructions to CBP 15 days after the 

publication date of the final results of 

this review. For each individually 

examined respondent in this review 

whose weighted-average dumping 

margin in the final results of review is 

above de minimis (i.e., greater than or 

equal to 0.5 percent), the Department 

intends to calculate importer- (or 

customer)-specific assessment rates, in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).20

entered values, the Department intends 

to calculate importer- (or customer)- 

specific ad valorem rates by aggregating 

the dumping margins calculated for all 

U.S. sales to the importer- (or customer) 

and dividing this amount by the total 

entered value of the sales to the 

importer- (or customer).21 Where the 

Department calculates an importer- (or 

customer)-specific weighted-average 

dumping margin by dividing the total 

amount of dumping for reviewed sales 

to the importer- (or customer) by the 

total sales quantity associated with 

those transactions, the Department will 

direct CBP to assess importer- (or 

customer)-specific assessment rates 

based on the resulting per-unit rates.22

Where an importer- (or customer)- 

specific ad valorem or per-unit rate is 

greater than de minimis, the Department 

will instruct CBP to collect the 

appropriate duties at the time of 

liquidation. Where either the 

respondent’s weighted average dumping 

margin is zero or de minimis, or an 

importer (or customer-) specific ad 

valorem or per-unit rate is zero or de 

minimis, the Department will instruct 

CBP to liquidate appropriate entries 

without regard to antidumping duties.23

On October 24, 2011, the Department 

announced a refinement to its 

assessment practice in NME 

antidumping duty cases.24 Pursuant to 

this refinement in practice, for entries 

that were not reported in the U.S. sales 

database submitted by an exporter 

individually examined during this 

review, the Department will instruct 

CBP to liquidate such entries at the 

PRC-wide rate. Additionally, pursuant 

to this refinement, if the Department 

determines that an exporter under 

review had no shipments of the subject 

merchandise, any suspended entries 

that entered under that exporter’s case 

number will be liquidated at the PRCwide rate. 

In accordance with section 

751(a)(2)(C) of the Act, the final results 

of this review shall be the basis for the 

assessment of antidumping duties on 

entries of merchandise covered by the 

final results of this review and for future 

deposits of estimated duties, where 

applicable. 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The Department will instruct CBP to 

require a cash deposit equal to the 

weighted-average amount by which the 

normal value exceeds U.S. price. The 

following cash deposit requirements 

will be effective upon publication of the 

final results of this administrative 

review for shipments of the subject 

merchandise from the PRC entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after the publication 

date of this notice, as provided by 

section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For 

the exporters listed above, the cash 

deposit rate will be equal to the 

weighted-average dumping margin 

established in the final results of this 

review (except, if the rate is zero or de 

minimis, then the cash deposit rate will 

be zero for that exporter); (2) for 

previously investigated or reviewed PRC 

and non-PRC exporters not listed above 

that have separate rates, the cash 

deposit rate will continue to be the 

exporter-specific rate published for the 

most recently completed segment of this 

proceeding; (3) for all PRC exporters of 

subject merchandise which have not 

been found to be entitled to a separate 

rate, the cash deposit rate will be the 

rate for the PRC-wide entity and (4) for 

all non-PRC exporters of subject 

merchandise that have not received 

their own rate, the cash deposit rate will 

be the rate applicable to the PRC 

exporter that supplied that non-PRC 

exporter. These deposit requirements, 

when imposed, shall remain in effect 

until further notice. 

Notification to Importers 

This notice also serves as a 

preliminary 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 POR. 

Failure to comply with this requirement 

could result in the Department’s 

presumption that reimbursement of 

antidumping duties occurred and the 

subsequent assessment of double 

antidumping duties. 

We are issuing and publishing these 

results in accordance with sections 

751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 

CFR 351.213. 

Dated: December 31, 2014.

Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and 

Compliance.
