Duty Administrative Review 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce 

(the Department) is rescinding its 

administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order on certain 

crystalline silicon photovoltaic products 

from the People’s Republic of China 

(PRC) covering the period February 1, 

2016, through January 31, 2017. 

DATES: Applicable August 17, 2017.

Compliance, International Trade 

Administration, Department of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background 

On February 8, 2017, the Department 

published in the Federal Register a 

notice of opportunity to request an 

administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order on certain 

crystalline silicon photovoltaic products 

from the PRC.1 The Department 

received a timely request from 

Shenzhen Topray Solar Co., Ltd. 

(Topray Solar) and SolarWorld 

Americas, Inc. (the petitioner), in 

accordance with section 751(a) of the 

Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), 

and 19 CFR 351.213(b), to conduct an 

administrative review of this 

antidumping duty order.2 On March 24, 

2017, Topray Solar timely withdrew its 

request for an administrative review.3

On April 10, 2017, the Department 

published in the Federal Register a 

notice of initiation 4 of an administrative 

review with respect to 27 companies. 

Because Topray Solar timely withdrew 

its request for an administrative review 

before the Department published its 

initiation notice, the Department did not 

initiate an administrative review with 

respect to Topray Solar. On May 11, 

2017, the petitioner timely withdrew its 

request for an administrative review of 

all 27 companies for which it had 

requested a review.5

Rescission of 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 of the requested 

review. Topray Solar and the petitioner 

withdrew their requests for review by 

the 90-day deadline, and no other 

parties requested an administrative 

review of this order. Therefore, we are 

rescinding the administrative review of 

the antidumping duty order on certain 

crystalline silicon photovoltaic products 

from the PRC covering the period 

February 1, 2016 to January 31, 2017. 

Assessment 

The Department will instruct U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to 

assess antidumping duties on all 

appropriate entries. Antidumping duties 

shall be assessed at an amount equal to 

the cash deposit of estimated 

antidumping duties required at the time 

of entry, or withdrawal from warehouse, 

for consumption, in accordance with 19 

CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i). The Department 

intends to issue appropriate assessment 

instructions directly to CBP 15 days 

after the date of publication of this 

notice in the Federal Register. 

Notification to Importers 

This notice serves as the only 

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 may result in the 

presumption that reimbursement of 

antidumping duties occurred and the 

subsequent assessment of double 

antidumping duties. 

Notification Regarding Administrative 

Protective Orders 

This notice serves as the only 

reminder to parties subject to 

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 the terms of an 

APO is a sanctionable violation. 

This notice is published in 

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

Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4). 

Dated: August 9, 2017.

Senior Director performing the duties of 

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping
