SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On February 4, 2021, in response to review requests from multiple 
parties, Commerce initiated an administrative review of the antidumping 
duty order on crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells, whether or not 
assembled into modules (solar cells), from the People's Republic of 
China (China).\1\ The POR is December 1, 2019, through November 30, 
2020. On August 25, 2021, and October 8, 2021, Commerce extended the 
time limit for completing the preliminary results of this review.\2\ 
The extended deadline for issuing the preliminary results of this 
review is December 16, 2021.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On February 25, 2021, Commerce selected two exporters to examine 
individually as mandatory respondents,\3\ Jinko Solar Import and Export 
Co., Ltd. (Jinko) \4\ and Risen Energy Co., Ltd. (Risen).\5\ During the 
course of this review, the mandatory respondents filed responses to 
Commerce's questionnaire and supplemental questionnaires, the 
petitioner (the American Alliance for Solar Manufacturing) commented on 
those responses, and multiple other companies for which Commerce 
initiated the review filed either no-shipment claims or applications or 
certifications for separate rates status. For details regarding the 
events that occurred subsequent to the initiation of the review, see 
the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.\6\

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

Preliminary Determination of No Shipments

    We found no evidence calling into question the no-shipment claims 
of the following companies/company groupings: (1) JingAo Solar Co., 
Ltd.; (2) Yingli; \8\ and (3) Canadian Solar.\9\ Therefore, we have 
preliminarily determined that JingAo Solar Co., Ltd., Yingli, and 
Canadian Solar did not ship subject merchandise to the United States 
during the POR. For additional information regarding this preliminary 
determination, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ The Yingli entity is made up of Shenzhen Yingli New Energy 
Resources Co., Ltd.; Baoding Jiasheng Photovoltaic Technology Co., 
Ltd.; Baoding Tianwei Yingli New Energy Resources Co., Ltd.; Beijing 
Tianneng Yingli New Energy Resources Co., Ltd.; Hainan Yingli New

CSI Solar Power (China) Inc.; CSI-GCL Solar Manufacturing (Yancheng) 
Co., Ltd.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Partial Rescission of Administrative Review

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), Commerce will rescind an 
administrative review, in whole or in part, if all parties that 
requested a review withdraw their requests within 90 days of the date 
of publication of the notice of initiation of the requested review. All 
parties withdrew their requests for an administrative review of Jiawei 
Solarchina Co., Ltd.; Shanghai BYD Co., Ltd.; and Zhejiang Sunflower 
Light Energy Science & Technology Limited Liability Company within 90 
days of the date of publication of the Initiation Notice. Accordingly, 
Commerce is rescinding this review with respect to these companies, in 
accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1).

[[Page 72924]]

Preliminary Affiliation and Single Entity Determination

    Consistent with Commerce's treatment of Jinko in the prior 
administrative review, we have continued to find that the following 
companies are affiliated pursuant to section 771(33)(F) of the Tariff 
Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), and that they should be treated as a 
single entity pursuant to 19 CFR 351.401(f)(1)-(2): Jinko Solar Import 
and Export Co., Ltd.; Jinko Solar Co., Ltd.; JinkoSolar Technology 
(Haining) Co., Ltd.; Yuhuan Jinko Solar Co., Ltd.; Zhejiang Jinko Solar 
Co., Ltd.; Jiangsu Jinko Tiansheng Solar Co., Ltd.; JinkoSolar 
(Chuzhou) Co., Ltd.; JinkoSolar (Yiwu) Co., Ltd.; and JinkoSolar 
(Shangrao) Co., Ltd. (collectively, Jinko). For additional information, 
see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
    Also, consistent with Commerce's treatment of Risen in the prior 
administrative review, we have continued to treat the following 
companies as a single entity pursuant to section 771(33)(F) of the Act 
and 19 CFR 351.401(f)(1)-(2): Risen Energy Co. Ltd., Risen (Wuhai) New 
Energy Co., Ltd., Zhejiang Twinsel Electronic Technology Co., Ltd., 
Risen (Luoyang) New Energy Co., Ltd., Jiujiang Shengzhao Xinye 
Technology Co., Ltd., Jiujiang Shengzhao Xinye Trade Co., Ltd.,\10\ 
Ruichang Branch, Risen Energy (HongKong) Co., Ltd., Risen Energy 
(Changzhou) Co., Ltd. (Changzhou) and Risen Energy (Yiwu) Co., Ltd. For 
additional information, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ Risen has alternatively used either ``Shengzhao'' or 
``Shengchao,'' and ``Trade'' or ``Technology'' in the names of the 
companies Jiujiang Shengzhao and Ruichang Branch, despite one 
company being a branch of the other company. However, Risen sold 
these companies on December 23, 2019, and despite being capable of 
producing and selling solar cells and panels, neither company 
produced solar cells or solar panels, or sold subject merchandise to 
the United States, during the POR. Therefore, the only action that 
we have taken regarding the various versions of the company names 
was to include the alternative versions of the company names in the 
CBP module. See Risen's Letter, ``Section A & Appendix X 
Questionnaire Responses,'' dated April 2, 2021 at 3-4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Separate Rates

    We have preliminarily determined that the information placed on the 
record by Jinko and Risen, as well as by the other companies listed in 
the rate table in the ``Preliminary Results of Review'' section below, 
demonstrates that these companies are entitled to separate rate status.
    We have preliminarily determined that the companies listed in 
Appendix II have not demonstrated their eligibility for a separate rate 
because they did not file a separate rate application or a separate 
rate certification with Commerce. We are treating the companies listed 
in Appendix II as part of the China-wide entity. Because no party 
requested a review of the China-wide entity, the entity is not under 
review and the entity's rate (i.e., 238.95 percent) is not subject to 
change.\11\ For additional information regarding Commerce's preliminary 
separate rate determinations, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ The China-wide entity rate was last changed in the first 
administrative review of this proceeding and has been the applicable 
rate for the entity in each subsequent review, including the most 
recently completed review. See Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaic 
Cells, Whether or Not Assembled Into Modules, from the People's 
Republic of China: Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative 
Review and Final Determination of No Shipments; 2012-2013, 80 FR 
40998, 41002 (July 14, 2015) (AR1 Final); see also Crystalline 
Silicon Photovoltaic Cells, Whether or Not Assembled Into Modules, 
from the People's Republic of China: Final Results of Antidumping 
Duty Administrative Review and Final Determination of No Shipments; 
2018-2019, 86 FR 58871 (October 25, 2021) (AR7 Final Results).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dumping Margins for Separate Rate Companies

    The statute and Commerce's regulations do not address what dumping 
margin to apply to respondents not selected for individual examination 
when Commerce limits its examination in an administrative review 
pursuant to section 777A(c)(2) of the Act. Generally, Commerce 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 dumping margin for non-selected respondents that are 
not individually examined in an administrative review. Section 
735(c)(5)(A) of the Act states that the all-others rate should be 
calculated by averaging the weighted-average dumping margins calculated 
for individually-examined respondents, excluding dumping margins that 
are zero, de minimis, or based entirely on facts available. Because we 
calculated preliminary dumping margins for the mandatory respondents 
Jinko and Risen which are not zero, de minimis, or based entirely on 
facts available, consistent with Commerce's practice and section 
735(c)(5)(A) of the Act, we assigned the separate rate recipients a 
dumping margin equal to the weight average of Jinko and Risen's 
preliminary dumping margins. We weight averaged Jinko and Risen's 
preliminary dumping margins using the public values of their reported 
sales of subject merchandise to the United States during the POR.

Methodology

    Commerce is conducting this administrative review in accordance 
with section 751(a)(1)(B) of the Act. In determining the dumping 
margins in this review, we calculated export and constructed export 
prices in accordance with section 772 of the Act. Because Commerce has 
determined that China is a non-market economy country,\12\ within the 
meaning of section 771(18) of the Act, we calculated normal value in 
this review in accordance with section 773(c) of the Act.

Disclosure and Public Comment
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ Risen has alternatively used either ``Shengzhao'' or 
``Shengchao'', and ``Trade'' or ``Technology'' in the names of the 
companies Jiujiang Shengzhao and Ruichang Branch, despite one 
company being a branch of the other company. However, Risen sold 
these companies on December 23, 2019, and despite being capable of

we have taken regarding the various versions of the company names 
was to include the alternative versions of the company names in the 
CBP module.
    \14\ In the Initiation Notice, we stated that we were initiating 
a review of Chint Energy (Haining) Co., Ltd. However, Commerce 
previously determined that Chint Energy (Haining) Co., Ltd.'s 
correct name is Chint New Energy Technology (Haining) Co., Ltd. See 
AR7 Final Results IDM at Comment 5. We have corrected the name of 
this company in the CBP module and will refer to this company as 
Chint New Energy Technology (Haining) Co., Ltd. henceforth.
    \15\ In the Initiation Notice, we stated that we were initiating 
a review of LONGi Solar Technology Co. Ltd.; Lerri Solar Technology 
Co., Ltd. However, Commerce previously determined that LONGi Solar 
Technology Co. Ltd. was the successor-in-interest to Lerri Solar 
Technology Co., Ltd., effective March 23, 2017. See Crystalline

Assessment Rates

    Upon issuance of the final results of this review, Commerce will 
determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, 
antidumping duties on all appropriate entries covered by this 
review.\24\ Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no 
earlier than 35 days after date of publication of the final results of 
this review in the Federal Register. If a timely summons is filed at 
the U.S. Court of International Trade, the

[[Page 72926]]

assessment instructions will direct CBP not to liquidate relevant 
entries until the time for parties to file a request for a statutory 
injunction has expired (i.e., within 90 days of publication).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \24\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    For each individually examined respondent in this review whose 
weighted-average dumping margin in the final results of review is not 
zero or de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent), Commerce intends to 
calculate importer/customer-specific assessment rates.\25\ Where the 
respondent reported reliable entered values, Commerce intends to 
calculate importer/customer-specific ad valorem assessment rates by 
aggregating the amount of dumping calculated for all U.S. sales to the 
importer/customer and dividing this amount by the total entered value 
of the merchandise sold to the importer/customer.\26\ Where the 
respondent did not report entered values, Commerce will calculate 
importer/customer-specific assessment rates by dividing the amount of 
dumping for reviewed sales to the importer/customer by the total 
quantity of those sales. Commerce will calculate an estimated ad 
valorem importer/customer-specific assessment rate to determine whether 
the per-unit assessment rate is de minimis; however, Commerce will use 
the per-unit assessment rate where entered values were not 
reported.\27\ Where an importer/customer-specific ad valorem assessment 
rate is not zero or de minimis, Commerce 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/customer-specific ad valorem assessment rate is zero or de 
minimis, Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate appropriate entries 
without regard to antidumping duties.\28\

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

    For the respondents that were not selected for individual 
examination in this administrative review, but which qualified for a 
separate rate, the assessment rate will be based on the weighted-
average dumping margin(s) assigned to the respondent(s) selected for 
individual examination, as appropriate, in the final results of this 
review.\29\

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

    Pursuant to Commerce's refinement to its practice, for sales that 
were not reported in the U.S. sales database submitted by an exporter 
individually examined during this review, Commerce will instruct CBP to 
liquidate the entry of such merchandise at the dumping margin assigned 
to the China-wide entity.\30\ Additionally, where Commerce determines 
that an exporter under review had no shipments of subject merchandise 
to the United States during the POR, any suspended entries of subject 
merchandise that entered under that exporter's CBP case number during 
the POR will be liquidated at the dumping margin assigned to the China-
wide entity.

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 antidumping 
duties, where applicable.

Cash Deposit Requirements

    Commerce will instruct CBP to require a cash deposit for 
antidumping duties equal to the weighted-average amount by which normal 
value exceeds U.S. price. The following cash deposit requirements apply 
to all subject merchandise from China entered, or withdrawn from 
warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of publication of the 
notice of the final results of this review in the Federal Register, as 
provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For the exporters 
listed in the table above, the cash deposit rate will be equal to the 
weighted-average dumping margin established in the final results of 
this review for the exporter (except, if the dumping margin is de 
minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent), then the cash deposit rate will 
be zero for that exporter); (2) for previously investigated or reviewed 
Chinese and non-Chinese exporters that are not listed in the table 
above but that have separate rates, the cash deposit rate will continue 
to be the exporter-specific rate established in the most recently 
completed segment of this proceeding; (3) for all Chinese 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 China-
wide entity (i.e., 238.95 percent) \31\ and (4) for all non-Chinese 
exporters of subject merchandise that have not received their own rate, 
the cash deposit rate will be the rate applicable to the China exporter 
that supplied that non-Chinese exporter. These cash deposit 
requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further 
notice.

Notification to Importers

    This notice 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 and/or countervailing 
duties prior to liquidation of the relevant entries during this POR. 
Failure to comply with this requirement could result in Commerce's 
presumption that reimbursement of antidumping duties and/or 
countervailing duties has occurred, and the subsequent assessment of 
double antidumping duties and/or an increase in the amount of 
antidumping duties by the amount of the countervailing duties.

Notification to Interested Parties

    We are issuing and publishing these preliminary results of review 
in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 
CFR 351.213 and 351.221(b)(4).

    Dated: December 16, 2021.
