Certain Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaic Products From the 
People's Republic of China: Alignment of Final Countervailing Duty 
Determination With Final Antidumping Duty Determination

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (the Department) is aligning the 
final determination in this countervailing duty (CVD) investigation of 
certain crystalline silicon photovoltaic products (certain solar 
products) from the People's Republic of China (the PRC) with the final 
determination in the companion antidumping duty (AD) investigation.

DATES: Effective Date: July 31, 2014.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Gene Calvert or Justin Neuman, AD/CVD 
Operations, Office VII, Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade 
Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and 
Constitution Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On January 22, 2014, the Department initiated the AD and CVD 
investigations on certain solar products from the PRC.\1\

[[Page 44403]]

On June 9, 2014, SolarWorld Industries America, Inc., i.e., Petitioner, 
timely requested alignment of the deadline for the final CVD 
determination with the deadline for the final determination in the 
companion AD investigation of certain solar products from the PRC,\2\ 
in accordance with section 705(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 
(the Act), 19 CFR 351.210(b)(4)(i), and 351.210(i). On June 10, 2014, 
the Department published the preliminary affirmative CVD determination 
pertaining to certain solar products from the PRC.\3\

the People's Republic of China: Initiation of Countervailing Duty 
Investigation, 79 FR 4667 (January 29, 2014), and Certain 
Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaic Products From the People's Republic 
of China and Taiwan: Initiation of Antidumping Duty Investigations,

    \2\ See the June 9, 2014, Letter to the Secretary, ``Crystalline 
Silicon Photovoltaic Products from the People's Republic of China: 
Request to Align Countervailing Duty Final Determination with 
Antidumping Duty Final Determination.''

the People's Republic of China: Preliminary Affirmative 
Countervailing Duty Determination, 79 FR 33174 (June 10, 2014).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Because the AD and CVD investigations were initiated simultaneously 
and involve the same class or kind of merchandise from the same 
country, we are aligning the deadline for the final CVD determination 
of certain solar products from the PRC with the deadline for the 
determination in the companion AD investigation of certain solar 
products from the PRC, in accordance with section 705(a)(1) of the Act 
and 19 CFR 351.210(b)(4)(i). The final CVD determination will be issued 
on the same date as the final AD determination, which is currently 
scheduled to be issued on or about December 16, 2014.
    This notice is issued and published pursuant to section 705(a)(1) 
of the Act.

    Dated: July 24, 2014.
Paul Piquado,
Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
