Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaic Cells, Whether or Not Assembled 
Into Modules, From the People's Republic of China: Preliminary Results 
of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, Partial Rescission of 
Antidumping Administrative Review, and Preliminary Determination of No 
Shipments; 2020-2021

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

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) preliminarily 
determines that, with the exception of the nine companies with no 
shipments, 14 companies under review sold subject merchandise at less 
than normal value during the period of review (POR), December 1, 2020, 
through November 30, 2021, and one did not sell merchandise below 
normal value. Commerce also preliminarily determines that 19 companies 
subject to this review are part of the China-wide entity because they 
did not demonstrate their eligibility for a separate rate. 
Additionally, Commerce is rescinding this review with respect to 11 
companies. Interested parties are invited to comment on these 
preliminary results of review.

DATES: Applicable January 6, 2023.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On February 4, 2022, 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) with respect to 54 exporters.\1\ The POR is December 1, 
2020, through November 30, 2021. On August 23, 2022, 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 30, 2022.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On March 18, 2022, Commerce selected two exporters to individually 
examine as mandatory respondents, Chint Solar (Zhejiang) Co., Ltd. 
(Chint Solar) and Shenzhen Glory Industries Co., Ltd. (Shenzhen 
Glory).\3\ 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 separate rate applications or certifications. For 
details regarding the events that occurred subsequent to the initiation 
of the review, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.\4\

These two categories were updated to USHTS subheadings 8541.42.0010 
and 8541.43.0010 in 2022.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Preliminary Determination of No Shipments

    We found no record evidence calling into question the no shipment 
claims of the following companies/company groupings: (1) BYD H.K. Co., 
Ltd.; (2) Canadian Solar International Limited, Canadian Solar 
Manufacturing (Changshu) Inc., Canadian Solar Manufacturing (Luoyang) 
Inc., CSI Cells Co., Ltd., CSI Solar Power (China) Inc., CSI-GCL Solar 
Manufacturing (Yancheng) Co., Ltd. (collectively, Canadian Solar); (3) 
CSI Modules (Dafeng) Co. Ltd.; (4) JA Solar Co., Ltd.; (5) JingAo Solar 
Co., Ltd. (JingAo); (6) Risen Energy Co. Ltd., Risen Energy (Changzhou) 
Co., Ltd., Risen (Wuhai) New Energy Co., Ltd., Zhejiang Twinsel 
Electronic Technology Co., Ltd., Risen (Luoyang) New Energy Co., Ltd., 
Jiujiang Shengchao Xinye Technology Co., Ltd., Jiujiang Shengzhao Xinye 
Trade Co., Ltd., Ruichang Branch, Risen Energy (HongKong) Co., Ltd.; 
(7) Shanghai BYD Co., Ltd.; (8) Xiamen Yiyusheng Solar Co., Ltd.; and 
(9) Zhejiang Aiko Solar Energy Technology Co., Ltd. Therefore, we have 
preliminarily determined that these nine companies/company groupings 
had no reviewable shipments of subject merchandise to the United States 
during the POR. For additional information regarding this preliminary 
determination, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. Consistent with 
our assessment in non-market economy (NME) administrative reviews,\8\ 
Commerce is not rescinding this review for these nine companies. 
Commerce intends to complete this review and issue appropriate 
instructions to CBP based on the final results of this review.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ See Non-Market Economy Antidumping Proceedings: Assessment 
of Antidumping Duties, 76 FR 65694, 65694-95 (October 24, 2011) (NME 
Assessment of Dumping Duties).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 timely withdrew their requests for an administrative review of 
the following companies: (1) Amass Freight International Co Ltd; (2) 
Boe Technology (HK) Limited; (3) Dongguan Sunworth Solar Energy Co.; 
(4) Jiangsu Crevo Science & Technology; (5) Jiangsu High Hope 
International; (6) Penglai Jutal Offshore Engineering; (7) Qinghuangdao 
Boostsolar Photovoltaic; (8) Shanghai Sansi Electronic; (9) Shanxi 
Hando Xinyu Technology Co., Ltd; (10) Zhejiang Garden Imp&Exp Co., 
Ltd.; and (11) Sunpower Corporation, System. Accordingly, Commerce is 
rescinding this review with respect to these companies, in accordance 
with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1).

Preliminary Affiliation and Single Entity Determination

    Consistent with Commerce's treatment of Chint Solar in the fifth 
administrative review of the Order, we have continued to find that 
Chint Solar is affiliated with certain companies, 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): (1) Chint Solar (Zhejiang) Co., Ltd.; (2) Chint New 
Energy Technology Co., Ltd. (f/k/a Chint New Energy Technology 
(Haining) Co., Ltd.; (3) Chint Solar (Hong Kong) Company Limited; (4) 
Chint Solar (Jiuquan) Co., Ltd.; (5) Haining Chint Solar Energy 
Technology Co., Ltd.; (6) Chint New Energy Technology (Yancheng) Co., 
Ltd.; (7) Chint Solar (Yancheng) Co., Ltd.; (8) Zhejiang Taiheng New 
Energy Co., Ltd.; and (9) Hangzhou Taifu New Energy Co., Ltd. For 
additional information, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.

Use of Facts Available (FA) and Adverse Facts Available (AFA)

    Certain unaffiliated suppliers of solar cells and tollers of solar 
modules failed to provide factors of production (FOP) data for use in 
calculating the weighted-average dumping margin of Chint Solar. Because 
the unreported cell FOPs account for a small percentage of Chint 
Solar's total FOPs, and because Chint Solar produces merchandise 
comparable to the materials for which we are missing FOPs that we can 
substitute for the missing FOPs, we preliminarily determine to apply 
neutral facts available (FA), pursuant to section 776(a) of the Tariff 
Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), with respect to Chint Solar's 
unreported cell FOPs by substituting Chint Solar's own information for 
the unreported cell FOPs.
    With regard to Shenzhen Glory, its solar cells suppliers failed to 
provide FOP data for use in calculating the weighted-average dumping 
margin of Shenzhen Glory. Because the unreported cell inputs FOPs 
represent a material amount of necessary information, and the solar 
cells suppliers are interested parties, we preliminarily determine to 
apply partial facts available with an adverse inference, pursuant to 
sections 776(a)(1), (2)(A)-(C), and 776(b) of the Act, with respect to 
Shenzhen Glory's missing solar cell inputs FOP data not reported by 
Shenzhen Glory's unaffiliated solar cell producers. For details 
regarding these determinations, see the Preliminary Decision 
Memorandum.

Separate Rates

    We have preliminarily determined that the information placed on the 
record by Chint Solar and Shenzhen Glory, as well as by the other 
companies listed in the rate table in the ``Preliminary Results of 
Review'' section below, demonstrate that these companies are entitled 
to separate rate status.
    We have preliminarily determined that the companies listed in 
Appendix II have not demonstrated their entitlement to a separate rate 
because they did not file a separate rate application or certification. 
Consequently, 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

[[Page 1048]]

percent \9\) is not subject to change.\10\ For additional information 
regarding Commerce's preliminary separate rate determinations, see the 
Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ 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

Department Practice for Respondent Selection in Antidumping Duty 
Proceedings and Conditional Review of the Nonmarket Economy Entity 
in NME Antidumping Duty Proceedings, 78 FR 65963 (November 4, 2013).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 a preliminary dumping margin of zero or de minimis for 
Shenzhen Glory, and a preliminary dumping margin that is not zero, de 
minimis, or based entirely on facts available for Chint Solar, we 
assigned the separate rate recipients a dumping margin equal to Chint 
Solar's preliminary dumping margin and excluded Shenzhen Glory's de 
minimis dumping margin consistent with Commerce's practice and section 
735(c)(5)(A) of the Act.

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 prices in accordance with 
section 772 of the Act. Because Commerce has determined that China is 
an NME country,\11\ 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.

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.\20\ 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 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).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \20\ 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.\21\ 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.\22\ 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.\23\ 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.\24\

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

    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.\25\

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

    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.\26\ 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.

    In accordance with section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act, the final 
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.

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 \27\) 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 30, 2022.
