SUMMARY: On October 19, 2011, the Department of Commerce (Department) received a countervailing duty (CVD) petition concerning imports of crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells, whether or not assembled into modules (solar cells), from the People’s Republic of China (PRC), filed in proper form by SolarWorld Industries America Inc. (Petitioner).1 The petition included a timely allegation, pursuant to section 703(e)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 351.206, that critical circumstances exist with respect to imports of the merchandise under investigation. In accordance with section 703(e)(1) of the Act, because Petitioner submitted its critical circumstances allegation more than 20 days before the scheduled date of the preliminary determination, the Department must promptly issue a preliminary critical circumstances determination.2 Based on information provided by Petitioner and the data placed on the record of this investigation by the mandatory respondents, Wuxi Suntech Power Co., Ltd. (Suntech) and Changzhou Trina Solar Energy Co., Ltd. (Trina) (collectively, respondents), the Department preliminarily determines that critical circumstances exist for imports of solar cells from the PRC for Suntech, Trina, and all other producers or exporters. DATES: Effective Date: February 3, 2012. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Gene Calvert, Jun Jack Zhao or Emily Halle, AD/CVD Operations, Import Administration, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of AGENCY: 1 See Petition for the Imposition of Antidumping and Countervailing Duties Against Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaic Cells, Whether or Not Assembled Into Modules, from the People’s Republic of China, dated October 19, 2011 (Petition). 2 An allegation of critical circumstances was also included with the antidumping duty (AD) petition. However, the statute establishes an earlier due date for a CVD preliminary determination than for an AD determination. As such, a critical circumstances determination in the AD proceeding will be issued subsequent to this determination.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background On November 8, 2011, the Department initiated a CVD investigation of solar cells from the PRC.3 In the Initiation Notice, the Department stated that, if the criteria for a finding of critical circumstances are established, we would issue a critical circumstances finding at the earliest possible date.4 Section 703(e)(1) of the Act provides that the Department will preliminarily determine that critical circumstances exist if there is a reasonable basis to believe or suspect: (A) That ‘‘the alleged countervailable subsidy’’ is inconsistent with the Subsidies and Countervailing Measures (SCM) Agreement of the World Trade Organization, and (B) that there have been massive imports of the subject merchandise over a relatively short period. To determine whether imports of the subject merchandise under investigation have been ‘‘massive,’’ 19 CFR 351.206(h)(1) provides that the Department normally will examine: (i) The volume and value of the imports; (ii) seasonal trends; and (iii) the share of domestic consumption accounted for by the imports. In addition, 19 CFR 351.206(h)(2) provides that imports must increase by at least 15 percent during the ‘‘relatively short period’’ to be considered ‘‘massive.’’ A ‘‘relatively short period’’ is defined in the regulations as normally being the period beginning on the date the proceeding begins (i.e., the date the petition is filed) and ending at least three months later.5 The regulations also provide, however, that, if the Department finds that importers, or exporters or producers had reason to believe, at some time prior to the beginning of the proceeding, that a proceeding was likely, the Department may consider a period of not less than three months from that earlier time.6 In determining whether the above statutory and regulatory criteria have been satisfied, we examined the evidence presented in the October 19, 2011 petition, comments from both 3 See Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaic Cells, Whether or Not Assembled Into Modules, from the People’s Republic of China: Initiation of Countervailing Duty Investigation, 76 FR 70966 (November 16, 2011) (Initiation Notice). 4 See id. at 70969. 5 See 19 CFR 351.206(i). 6 Id.

Antidumping Duty Administrative Reviews, Requests for Revocation in 
Part, and Deferral of Administrative Review, 76 FR 17825 (March 31, 
2011) (Initiation Notice). On October 11, 2011, the Department

(October 11, 2011).

Extension of Time Limit for the Preliminary Results of Review

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 
Act), requires the Department to issue its preliminary results in an 
administrative review of an antidumping duty order within 245 days 
after the last day of the anniversary month of the order for which the 
administrative review was requested. However, if the Department 
determines that it is not practicable to complete the review within the 
aforementioned specified time limits, section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act 
and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2) allow the Department to extend the time limit 
for the preliminary results to a maximum of 365 days after the last day 
of the anniversary month. See section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 
CFR 351.213(h)(2).
    The Department has determined that it requires additional time to 
complete the preliminary results for this review. The Department needs 
additional time to issue a supplemental questionnaire regarding the 
reporting period for sales and to analyze the response. Thus, it is not 
practicable to complete the preliminary results by January 30, 2012, 
and the Department is extending the time limit for completion of the 
preliminary results by an additional 30 days to February 28, 2012. 
Accordingly, the deadline for completion of the preliminary results is 
now no later than February 28, 2012.
    This notice is published pursuant to sections 751(a)(3)(A) of the 
Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2).
