SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On December 21, 2011, based on a
timely request from the petitioner,
SolarWorld Industries America, Inc.
(Petitioner), the Department of
Commerce (the Department) extended
the due date for the preliminary
determination in the countervailing
duty investigation of crystalline silicon
photovoltaic cells, whether or not
assembled into modules, from the
People’s Republic of China, to no later
than February 13, 2012.1 Petitioner
made a second timely request on
January 19, 2012, to further postpone
the preliminary countervailing duty
determination by 18 days, to March 2,
2012, which the Department granted.2
Postponement of Due Date for the
Preliminary Determination
Section 703(b)(1) of the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended (the Act), requires the
Department to issue the preliminary
determination in a countervailing duty
investigation within 65 days after the
date on which the Department initiated
the investigation. However, if the
Department concludes that the parties
concerned in the investigation are
cooperating and determines that the
investigation is extraordinarily
complicated, section 703(c)(1)(B) of the
Act allows the Department to postpone
making the preliminary determination
until no later than 130 days after the
date on which the administering
authority initiated the investigation.
The Department has determined that
the parties involved in this proceeding
are cooperating, and that the
investigation is extraordinarily
complicated.3 The mandatory
respondents recently filed extensive
questionnaire responses and also
identified and included responses to the

questionnaire for multiple cross-owned
affiliated companies, which now are
included in the investigation.4
Specifically, the Department is
investigating 27 alleged subsidy
programs including, but not limited to,
loans, grants, income tax incentives, and
the provision of goods and services for
less than adequate remuneration. Due to
the number of companies and the
complexity of the alleged
countervailable subsidy practices being
investigated, we determine that this
investigation is extraordinarily
complicated. Therefore, in accordance
with section 703(c)(1)(B) of the Act, we
are fully extending the due date for the
preliminary determination to no later
than 130 days after the day on which
the investigation was initiated.
However, as that date falls on a
Saturday (i.e., March 17, 2012), the
deadline for completion of the
preliminary determination is now
Monday, March 19, 2012, the next
business day.5
This notice is issued and published
pursuant to section 703(c)(2) of the Act
and 19 CFR 351.205(f)(1).
