SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Petitions On December 31, 2013, the Department of Commerce (the Department) received antidumping duty (AD) petitions concerning imports of certain crystalline silicon photovoltaic products (certain solar cells and panels) from the People’s Republic of China (PRC) and Taiwan.1 The Petitions were filed in proper form on behalf of SolarWorld Industries America, Inc. (Petitioner). Petitioner is a domestic producer of solar cells and panels. The Petitions were accompanied by a countervailing duty (CVD) petition on imports of certain solar cells and panels from the PRC. On January 3, 6, 9 and 10, 2014, the Department requested additional information and clarification of certain areas of the Petitions. Petitioner filed responses to these requests on January 8, 9, 13, 15, and 17, 2014. In accordance with section 732(b) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), Petitioner alleges that imports of certain solar cells and panels from the PRC and Taiwan are being, or are likely to be, sold in the United States at less than fair value within the meaning of section 731 of the Act and that such imports are materially injuring, and threatening material injury to, an industry in the United States. Also, consistent with section 732(b)(1) of the Act, the Petitions are accompanied by information reasonably available to Petitioner supporting its allegations. The Department finds that Petitioner filed these Petitions on behalf of the domestic industry because Petitioner is an interested party as defined in section 771(9)(C) of the Act. The Department also finds that Petitioner has demonstrated sufficient industry support with respect to the initiation of 1 See Petitions for the Imposition of Antidumping Duties on Imports of Certain Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaic Products From the People’s Republic of China and Taiwan,’’ dated December 31, 2013 (the Petitions).
