SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On December 7, 2012, the Department of Commerce published in the 
Federal Register the antidumping duty order on crystalline silicon 
photovoltaic cells, whether or not assembled into modules (solar 
cells), from the People's Republic of China (PRC).\2\ On December 3, 
2013, the Department published a notice of opportunity to request an 
administrative review of the antidumping duty order on solar cells.\3\ 
The Department received multiple timely requests for an administrative 
review and on February 3, 2014, in accordance with section 751(a) of 
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), the Department published in 
the Federal Register a notice of the initiation of an administrative 
review of that order.\4\ The administrative review was initiated with 
respect to 145 companies or groups of companies, and covers the period 
from May 25, 2012, through November 30, 2013. While there are a number 
of companies which remain under review, the requesting parties have 
timely withdrawn all review requests for certain companies, as 
discussed below.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rescission of Review, in Part

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Department will rescind an 
administrative review, in whole or in part, if the party that requested 
the review withdraws its request within 90 days of the date of 
publication of the notice of initiation of the requested review. All 
requesting parties withdrew their respective requests for an 
administrative review of the entities listed in Appendix I within 90 
days of the date of publication of the Initiation Notice. The entities 
listed in Appendix I had a separate rate granted in the most recently 
completed segment of this proceeding in which they were under review. 
Accordingly, the Department is rescinding this review, in part, with 
respect to these entities, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1).\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See Appendix I.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Companies That Have Not Demonstrated Eligibility for a Separate Rate

    In addition to the companies noted above, all review requests were 
timely withdrawn for other companies that are currently under review 
that either do not have a separate rate because they have never been 
reviewed or did not demonstrate eligibility for a separate rate in the 
most recently completed segment of this proceeding in which they were 
under review. Therefore, these companies will continue to be subject to 
the PRC-wide entity rate. While the requests for review of those 
companies were withdrawn by all parties, those withdrawn companies are 
part of the PRC-wide entity which could come under review in this 
segment of the proceeding. If the PRC-wide entity comes under review we 
will make a determination with respect to the PRC-wide entity at the 
final results. A complete list of these entities without separate rates 
is contained in Appendix II.

Assessment

    For the entities in Appendix I for which the Department has 
rescinded this review and which had a separate rate granted in the most 
recently completed segment of this proceeding in which they were under 
review, the Department intends to issue appropriate assessment 
instructions directly to U.S. Customs and Border Protection 15 days 
after the publication of this notice in the Federal Register. For these 
entities, antidumping duties shall be assessed on period of review 
entries at rates 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).
    For the entities in Appendix II, which are part of the PRC-wide 
entity during the instant review period (i.e., have not established 
their eligibility for a separate rate), the Department will issue 
assessment instructions 15 days after publication of the final results 
of this review.

Notification to Importers

    This notice serves as a final reminder to importers whose entries 
will be liquidated as a result of this rescission notice 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 review period. Failure to comply with this 
requirement could result in the Secretary's assumption that 
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent 
assessment of double antidumping duties.

Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Orders (APOs)

    This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to APOs of 
their responsibility concerning the return or destruction 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 sections 
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: July 16, 2014.
Gary Taverman,
Senior Advisor for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Operations.

Notice, had a separate rate granted in the most recently completed

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ The Department notes that it initiated a review of Yuhan 
Sinosola Science & Technology Co., Ltd. However, the the U.S. 
Customs and Border Protection's ACE Secure Data Portal reflects a 
rate for Yuhuan Sinosola Science & Technology Co., Ltd.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Yuhuan Solar Energy Source Co., Ltd.

Appendix II

    The following companies, which were named in our Initiation 
Notice, either do not have a separate rate because they have never 
been reviewed or were not granted a separate rate in the most 
recently completed segment of this proceeding in which they were 
under review. Therefore, these companies will continue to be subject 
to the PRC-wide entity rate. Although interested parties timely 
withdrew all requests for review of these companies, the companies 
are part of the PRC-wide entity which could come under review in 
this segment of the proceeding. If the PRC-wide entity comes under 
review, we will make a determination with respect to the PRC-wide 
entity at the final results.
