---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Verification
In accordance with section 782(i) of the Act, Commerce conducted
verification of the information of the information relied upon in
making its final determination in this investigation. Specifically,
Commerce conducted on-site verifications of the information and data on
subsidies reported by the Government of Malaysia; Hanwha Q CELLS
Malaysia Sdn. Bhd. (Hanwha Q CELLS); and Jinko Solar Technology Sdn.
Bhd. (JST) and its cross-owned affiliates, Jinko Solar (Malaysia) Sdn.
Bhd. (JSM) and Omega Solar Sdn. Bhd. (Omega) (collectively, Jinko
Solar). We used standard verification procedures, including an
examination of relevant sales and accounting records, and original
source documents provided by Hanwha Q Cells and Jinko Solar.
Analysis of Subsidy Programs and Comments Received
All issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs submitted by
interested
[[Page 17385]]
parties are discussed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum. A list of
the issues addressed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum is attached
to this notice as Appendix II.
Changes Since the Preliminary Determination
We have made certain changes to the preliminary calculations for
Hanwha Q Cells and Jinko Solar since the Preliminary Determination. For
a discussion of these changes, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum.
Methodology
Commerce conducted this investigation in accordance with section
701 of the Act. For each of the subsidy programs found to be
countervailable, Commerce determines that there is a subsidy, i.e., a
financial contribution by an ``authority'' that gives rise to a benefit
to the recipient, and that the subsidy is specific.\9\ For a full
description of the methodology underlying our final determination, see
the Issues and Decision Memorandum. In making this final determination,
Commerce relied on facts otherwise available, including with an adverse
inference (AFA), pursuant to sections 776(a) and (b) of the Act. For a
full discussion of our application of AFA, see the Issues and Decision
Memorandum section entitled, ``Use of Facts Otherwise Available and
Application of Adverse Inferences.''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\9\ See sections 771(5)(B) and (D) of the Act regarding
financial contribution; see also section 771(5)(E) of the Act
regarding benefit; and section 771(5A) of the Act regarding
specificity.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Use of Adverse Facts Available
As discussed in the Preliminary Determination, Commerce assigned a
countervailable subsidy rate on the basis of AFA, pursuant to sections
776(a) and (b) of the Act, to four companies (i.e., Baojia New Energy,
Pax Union Resources SDN BHD, and SunMax Energy SDN BHD (collectively,
the non-responsive companies) that were non-responsive to the quantity
and value questionnaire.\10\ There is no new information on the record
that would cause us to revisit our decision in the Preliminary
Determination. Accordingly, for the reasons explained in the
Preliminary Determination, and consistent with Commerce's practice, as
AFA, continue to base the CVD subsidy rate for the non-responsive
companies on facts otherwise available in our final determination.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\10\ See Preliminary Determination, 89 FR 82978.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
All-Others Rate
In accordance with section 705(c)(1)(B)(i) of the Act, we
calculated an individual estimated countervailable subsidy rate for the
two mandatory respondents, Hanwha Q Cells and Jinko Solar. Section
705(c)(5)(A)(i) of the Act states that, for companies not individually
investigated, Commerce will determine an all-others rate equal to the
weighted-average countervailable subsidy rates established for
exporters and/or producers individually investigated, excluding any
zero and de minimis countervailable subsidy rates, and any rates
determined entirely under section 776 of the Act. For this final
determination, we calculated individual estimated countervailable
subsidy rates for Hanwha Q Cells and Jinko Solar that are not zero, de
minimis, or based entirely on facts otherwise available. Therefore, we
calculated the all-others rate using a weighted average of the
individual estimated subsidy rates calculated for the examined
respondents Hanwha Q Cells and Jinko Solar) using each company's
publicly ranged sales value for their exports to the United States of
subject merchandise, in accordance with section 705(c)(5)(A)(i) of the
Act.
Final Determination
Commerce determines that the following countervailable subsidy
rates exist:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Subsidy rate (percent
Company ad valorem)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hanwha Q CELLS Malaysia Sdn. Bhd............... 14.64
Jinko Solar Technology Sdn. Bhd.; Jinko Solar 38.38
(Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd.; and Omega Solar Sdn. Bhd
Baojia New Energy.............................. * 168.80
Pax Union Resources SDN BHD.................... * 168.80
SunMax Energy SDN BHD.......................... * 168.80
All Others..................................... 32.49
------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Rate based on facts available with adverse inferences.
Disclosure
Commerce will disclose to the parties in a proceeding the
calculations performed in connection with a final determination within
five days of any public announcement or, if there is no public
announcement, within five days of the date of publication of the notice
of final determination in the Federal Register, in accordance with 19
CFR 351.224(b).
Suspension of Liquidation
We will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to start
or continue to suspend liquidation of all appropriate entries of
subject merchandise, as described in Appendix I of this notice, which
were entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption as described
below. As a result of our Preliminary Determination and pursuant to
sections 703(d)(1)(B) and (d)(2) of the Act, Commerce instructed CBP to
collect cash deposits and suspend liquidation of entries of solar cells
from Malaysia that were entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after October 4, 2024, the date of the publication of
the Preliminary Determination in the Federal Register.\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\11\ See Preliminary Determination, 89 FR 82978.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In accordance with section 703(d) of the Act, we instructed CBP to
discontinue the suspension of liquidation of all entries of subject
merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or
after February 1, 2025, but to continue the suspension of liquidation
of all entries of solar cells on or before January 31, 2025.
If the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) issues a final
affirmative injury determination, we will issue a countervailing duty
order, reinstate the suspension of liquidation under section 706(a) of
the Act, and require a cash deposit of estimated countervailing duties
for entries of subject merchandise in the amounts indicated above. If
the ITC determines that material injury, or threat of material injury,
does not exist, this proceeding will be terminated, and all estimated
duties deposited, or securities posted, as a result of the suspension
of liquidation will be refunded or canceled.
[[Page 17386]]
ITC Notification
In accordance with section 705(d) of the Act, we will notify the
ITC of our final affirmative determination that countervailable
subsidies are being provided to producers and exporters of solar cells
from Malaysia. Because the final determination is affirmative, in
accordance with section 705(b) of the Act, the ITC will make its final
determination as to whether the domestic industry in the United States
is materially injured, or threatened with material injury, by reason of
imports of solar cells from Malaysia no later than 45 days after our
final determination. In addition, we are making available to the ITC
all non-privileged and non-proprietary information related to this
investigation. We will allow the ITC access to all privileged and
business proprietary information in our files, provided the ITC
confirms that it will not disclose such information, either publicly or
under an administrative protective order (APO), without the written
consent of the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
If the ITC determines that material injury or threat of material
injury does not exist, this proceeding will be terminated and all cash
deposits will be refunded. If the ITC determines that such injury does
exist, Commerce will issue a CVD order directing CBP to assess, upon
further instruction by Commerce, countervailing duties on all imports
of the subject merchandise that are entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after the effective date of the
suspension of liquidation, as discussed above in the ``Suspension
Liquidation'' section.
Administrative Protective Order
In the event that ITC issues a final negative injury determination,
this notice will serve as the final reminder to parties subject to an
APO of their responsibility concerning the destruction of proprietary
information disclosed under APO, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.305(a)(3). 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 violation which is subject to sanction.
Notification to Interested Parties
This determination is issued and published pursuant to sections
705(d) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.205(c).
Dated: April 18, 2025.
