Background

    On December 31, 2013, a petition was filed with the Commission and 
Commerce by SolarWorld Industries America, Hillsboro, Oregon, alleging 
that an industry in the United States is materially injured or 
threatened with material injury by reason of LTFV and subsidized 
imports of certain crystalline silicon photovoltaic products from China 
and LTFV imports of certain crystalline silicon photovoltaic products 
from China and Taiwan. Accordingly, effective December 31, 2013, the 
Commission instituted countervailing duty investigation No. 701-TA-511 
and antidumping duty investigation Nos. 731-TA-1246-1247 (Preliminary).
    Notice of the institution of the Commission's investigations and of 
a public conference to be held in connection therewith was given by 
posting copies of the notice in the Office of the Secretary, U.S. 
International Trade Commission, Washington, DC, and by publishing the 
notice in the Federal Register of January 8, 2014 (79 FR 1388). The 
conference was held in Washington, DC, on January 22, 2014, and all 
persons who requested the opportunity were permitted to appear in 
person or by counsel.
    The Commission transmitted its determinations in these 
investigations to the Secretary of Commerce on February 26, 2014.\3\ 
The views of the Commission are contained in USITC Publication 4454 
(February 2014), entitled Certain Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaic 
Products from China and Taiwan, Inv. Nos. 701-TA-511 and 731-TA-1246-
1247 (Preliminary).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ The Commission has the authority to toll statutory deadlines 
during a period when the government is closed. Because the 
Commission was closed on January 21, 2014 and February 13, 2014 due 
to inclement weather in Washington, DC, the statutory deadlines 
reflect the tolling of deadlines by two days.

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

Acting Secretary to the Commission.
