Ministerial Error Comments,’’ dated June 29, 2017. 

3The Department treated the following six 

companies as a single entity: Changzhou Trina 

Solar Energy Co., Ltd./Trina Solar (Changzhou) 

initiating this anticircumvention 

inquiry. 

With respect to the additional factors 

listed under section 781(b)(3) of the Act, 

we find that the petitioners presented 

evidence indicating that shipments of 

butt-weld pipe fittings from Malaysia to 

the United States increased since the 

imposition of the Order and that 

shipments of butt-weld pipe fittings 

from the PRC to Malaysia also increased 

since the Order took effect, further 

supporting initiation of this anticircumvention inquiry.53

Accordingly, we are initiating a 

formal anti-circumvention inquiry 

concerning the Order on butt-weld pipe 

fittings from the PRC, pursuant to 

section 781(b) of the Act. 

In connection with this anticircumvention inquiry, in order to 

determine: (1) The extent to which PRCsourced unfinished or finished buttweld pipe fittings is further processed 

into butt-weld pipe fittings in Malaysia 

before shipment to the United States; (2) 

the extent to which a country-wide 

finding applicable to all exports might 

be warranted, as alleged by the 

petitioners; and (3) whether the process 

of turning PRC-sourced unfinished or 

finished butt-weld pipe fittings into 

finished butt-weld pipe fittings 

processed in Malaysia is minor or 

insignificant, the Department will issue 

questionnaires to Malaysian producers 

and exporters of butt-weld pipe fittings 

to the United States. The Department 

will issue questionnaires to solicit 

information from the Malaysian 

producers and exporters concerning 

their shipments of butt-weld pipe 

fittings to the United States and the 

origin of the imported unfinished or 

finished butt-weld pipe fittings being 

processed into butt-weld pipe fittings. 

Companies failing to respond 

completely and timely to the 

Department’s questionnaire may be 

deemed uncooperative and an adverse 

inference may be applied in 

determining whether such companies 

are circumventing the Order. See 

section 776 of the Act. 

Finally, while we believe sufficient 

factual information has been submitted 

by the petitioners supporting their 

request for an inquiry, we do not find 

that the record supports the 

simultaneous issuance of a preliminary 

ruling. Such inquiries are by their 

nature complicated and require 

additional information regarding 

production in both the country subject 

to the order and the third-country 

completing the product. As noted above, 

the Department intends to request 

additional information regarding the 

statutory criteria to determine whether 

shipments of butt-weld pipe fittings 

from Malaysia are circumventing the 

Order on butt-weld pipe fittings from 

the PRC. Thus, further development of 

the record is required before a 

preliminary ruling can be issued. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

In accordance with 19 CFR 

351.225(e), the Department finds that 

the issue of whether a product is 

included within the scope of any order 

cannot be determined based solely upon 

the application and the descriptions of 

the merchandise. Accordingly, the 

Department will notify by mail all 

parties on the Department’s scope 

service list of the initiation of anticircumvention inquiries. Additionally, 

in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.225(f)(1)(i) and (ii), in this notice of 

initiation issued under 19 CFR 

351.225(e), we included a description of 

the product that is the subject of this 

anti-circumvention inquiry (i.e., buttweld pipe fittings that contain the 

characteristics as provided in the scope 

of the Order), and an explanation of the 

reasons for the Department’s decision to 

initiate this anti-circumvention inquiry, 

as provided above. 

In accordance with 19 CFR 

351.225(1)(2), if the Department issues 

an affirmative preliminary 

determination, we will then instruct 

U.S. Customs and Border Protection to 

suspend liquidation and require cash 

deposits of estimated antidumping 

duties, at the applicable rates, for each 

unliquidated entry of the merchandise 

at issue, entered or withdrawn from 

warehouse for consumption on or after 

the date of initiation of the inquiry. The 

Department will establish a schedule for 

questionnaires and comments for this 

inquiry. In accordance with section 

781(f) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.225(f)(5), the Department intends to 

issue its final determination within 300 

days of the date of publication of this 

notice. 

This notice is published in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.225(f).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On June 27, 2017, the Department 

published the final results of the 2014– 

2015 administrative review of the AD 

order on solar cells from the PRC in the 

Federal Register.1 In addition, on June 

27, 2017, the Department disclosed to 

interested parties its calculations for the 

final results.2 On June 30, 2017, the 

Department received a timely filed 

ministerial error allegation from 

SolarWorld Americas, Inc. (the 

petitioner) regarding the Department’s 

calculation of the dumping margin for 

Trina,3 one of the mandatory

8The Department treated the following six 

companies as a single entity: Canadian Solar 

International Limited/Canadian Solar 

Manufacturing (Changshu), Inc./Canadian Solar 

Manufacturing (Luoyang), Inc./CSI Cells Co., Ltd./ 

CSI–GCL Solar Manufacturing (YanCheng) Co., 

Ltd./CSI Solar Power (China) Inc. (collectively, 

Canadian Solar).

respondents in the review.4 Specifically, 

the petitioner alleged that although the 

Department stated its intent to disallow 

the debt restructuring offset that Trina 

made to its indirect selling expenses, 

the Department made a ministerial error 

by excluding indirect selling expenses 

reported in the INDIRSU field from the 

U.S. indirect selling expenses used in 

Trina’s margin calculations. No rebuttal 

comments were submitted, nor were any 

other ministerial error allegations 

submitted. 

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.5 Merchandise 

covered by the order 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. 

Ministerial Error 

19 CFR 351.224(e) provides that the 

Department will analyze any comments 

received and, if appropriate, correct any 

ministerial error by amending the final 

determination or the final results of the 

review. Section 751(h) of the Tariff Act 

of 1930, as amended (the Act), and 19 

CFR 351.224(f) define a ‘‘ministerial 

error’’ as an error ‘‘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 the Secretary 

considers ministerial.’’ 

We analyzed the petitioner’s 

ministerial error comments and 

determined, in accordance with section 

751(h) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.224(e) 

and (f), that we made a ministerial error 

in our calculation of Trina’s dumping 

margin by inadvertently not including 

indirect selling expenses reported in the 

INDIRSU field in the U.S. indirect 

selling expenses used in our margin 

calculations. Specifically, in the Final 

Results, we inadvertently treated the 

INDIRS2U field as reflecting total 

indirect selling expenses, including the 

expenses reflected under the INDIRSU 

field. However, the INDIRS2U field only 

reflects the additional expense that 

should be added to INDIRSU field if the 

debt restructuring offset was denied. We 

are correcting this ministerial error by 

including the indirect selling expenses 

reported in the INDIRSU field in Trina’s 

U.S. indirect sales expenses.6

Additionally, because the dumping 

margin for separate rate companies that 

the Department did not individually 

examine, but which demonstrated their 

eligibility for a separate rate, is based on 

the mandatory respondents’ dumping 

margins,7 we also are revising the 

dumping margin for companies not 

individually examined in this review as 

a result of our correction to Trina’s 

dumping margin. The dumping margin 

for the second mandatory respondent, 

Canadian Solar,8 remains unchanged 

from the dumping margin calculated in 

the Final Results.9

Amended Final Results 

As a result of correcting this 

ministerial error, we determine that the 

following weighted-average dumping 

margins exist for the POR:

Assessment 

The Department will determine, and 

CBP shall assess, antidumping duties on 

all appropriate entries covered by this 

review. The Department intends to issue 

assessment instructions to CBP 15 days 

after the publication date of these 

Amended Final Results. In accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), we are 

calculating importer- (or customer-) 

specific assessment rates for the 

merchandise subject to this review. For 

any individually examined respondent 

whose weighted-average dumping 

margin is above de minimis (i.e., 0.50 

percent), the Department will calculate 

importer- (or customer-) specific 

assessment rates for merchandise 

subject to this review. Where the 

respondent reported reliable entered 

values, the Department calculated 

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).10 Where the 

Department calculated 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.11

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.12

For merchandise whose sale/entry 

was not reported in the U.S. sales 

database submitted by an exporter 

individually examined during this 

review, but that entered under the case 

number of that exporter (i.e., at the 

individually-examined exporter’s cash 

deposit rate), the Department will 

instruct CBP to liquidate such entries at 

the PRC-wide rate. Additionally, 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 PRC-wide rate.13

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following cash deposit 

requirements will be effective for all 

shipments of the subject merchandise 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after June 27, 

2017, the date of publication of the 

Final Results, as provided for by section 

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

exporters listed above, the cash deposit 

rate will be the rate listed for each 

exporter in the table in the ‘‘Amended 

Final Results’’ section of this notice, 

except if the rate is zero or de minimis 

(i.e., less than 0.5 percent), then the cash 

deposit rate will be zero; (2) for 

previously investigated PRC and nonPRC exporters that received a separate 

rate in a prior segment of this 

proceeding, the cash deposit rate will 

continue to be the existing exporterspecific rate; (3) for all PRC exporters of 

subject merchandise that have not been 

found to be entitled to a separate rate, 

the cash deposit rate will be the rate 

previously established for the PRC-wide 

entity (i.e., 238.95 percent); and (4) for 

all non-PRC exporters of subject 

merchandise which 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. 

Disclosure 

We intend to disclose the calculations 

performed for these Amended Final 

Results within five days of publication 

of this notice in the Federal Register in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). 

Notification to Importers Regarding the 

Reimbursement of Duties 

This notice also serves as a final 

reminder to importers of their 

responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f) 

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 has occurred and the subsequent 

assessment of double antidumping 

duties. 

Notification Regarding Administrative 

Protective Orders (APO) 

This notice also serves as a reminder 

to parties subject to APO of their 

responsibility concerning the return or 

destruction of proprietary information 

disclosed under APO in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.305, which continues 

to govern business proprietary 

information in this segment of the 

proceeding. 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 terms of an APO is a violation 

which is subject to sanction.
