sections 735(d) and 705(d) of the Tariff
Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), that
an industry in the United States is
materially injured within the meaning
of sections 735(b)(1)(A)(i) and
705(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Act by reason of
LTFV imports and subsidized imports of

Amendment to the CVD Final
Determination
On December 23, 2014, the
Department published its affirmative
final determination in the CVD
investigation.5 On December 24, 2014,
Changzhou Trina Solar Energy Co., Ltd.
(Trina Solar) and Wuxi Suntech Power
Co., Ltd. (Wuxi Suntech), respondents
in the CVD investigation, submitted
timely ministerial error allegations and
requested that the Department correct
the alleged ministerial errors in the
subsidy margin calculations.6 On
December 29, 2014, SolarWorld
Americas, Inc., the petitioner in the
CVD investigation, submitted timely
rebuttal comments on Trina Solar’s and
Wuxi Suntech’s allegations.7 No other
interested party submitted ministerial
error allegations or replied to Trina
Solar’s or Wuxi Suntech’s submissions.
After analyzing comments and
rebuttals from all interested parties, we
determined, in accordance with section
705(e) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.224(e),
that we made a ministerial error in our
calculations for the CVD Final
Determination with respect to Trina

Solar. At the verification of Trina Solar’s
questionnaire responses, we discovered
unreported subsidy programs in Trina
Solar’s accounting system. We
translated certain line items from that
accounting system at verification and
found that every translated line item
represented a countervailable subsidy in
our CVD Final Determination. In so
doing, we inadvertently countervailed a
subsidy program that did not appear
among the list of translated subsidy
programs submitted as a verification
exhibit.8 This amended final CVD
determination corrects this error and
revises the ad valorem subsidy rate for
Trina Solar.
In the CVD Final Determination, we
based the estimated subsidy rate for ‘‘all
others’’ by calculating the simple
average of Trina Solar’s and Wuxi
Suntech’s estimated subsidy rates.9
Because the subsidy rate for all others
is based on the rates for Trina Solar and
Wuxi Suntech, and the rate for Trina
Solar changed because of the
aforementioned ministerial error, we
have revised the calculation for the
estimated subsidy rate for all others in
this amended final CVD
determination.10 The amended
estimated ad valorem subsidy rates are
provided below.
Antidumping Duty Order
As stated above, on February 5, 2015,
in accordance with section 735(d) of the
Act, the ITC notified the Department of
its final determination in its
investigation, in which it found that an
industry in the United States is
materially injured within the meaning
of section 735(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Act by
reason of imports of certain solar
products from the PRC.11 Because the
ITC determined that imports of certain
solar products from the PRC are
materially injuring a U.S. industry,
unliquidated entries of such
merchandise from the PRC, entered or
withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption are subject to the
assessment of antidumping duties.
Therefore, in accordance with section
736(a)(1) of the Act, the Department will
direct U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) to assess, upon further
instruction by the Department,
antidumping duties equal to the amount

by which the normal value of the
merchandise exceeds the export price
(or constructed export price) of the
merchandise, for all relevant entries of
certain solar products from the PRC.
These antidumping duties will be
assessed on unliquidated entries of
certain solar products from the PRC
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after July 31,
2014, the date of publication of the AD
Preliminary Determination,12 but will
not include entries occurring after the
expiration of the provisional measures
period and before publication of the
ITC’s final injury determination as
further described below.
Continuation of Suspension of
Liquidation (AD)
In accordance with section
735(c)(1)(B) of the Act, the Department
will instruct CBP to continue to suspend
liquidation of all appropriate entries of
certain solar products from the PRC as
described in the ‘‘Scope of the Orders’’
section, which were entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after July 31, 2014,
the date of publication in the Federal
Register of the notice of an affirmative
preliminary determination that certain
solar products are being, or are likely to
be, sold in the United States at LTFV.
Further, consistent with our practice,
where the product from the PRC under
investigation is also subject to a
concurrent CVD investigation, the
Department will instruct CBP to require
a cash deposit 13 equal to the weightedaverage amount by which the normal
value exceeds U.S. price, adjusted
where appropriate for export subsidies
and estimated domestic subsidy passthrough.14 The cash deposit rates, before
any adjustments for export subsidies
and estimated domestic subsidy passthrough, are as follows: (1) For each
exporter/producer combination listed in
the table below, the cash deposit rate
will be equal to the dumping margin
listed for that exporter/producer
combination in the table; (2) for all other
combinations of PRC exporters/
producers of the merchandise under
consideration, the cash deposit rate will
be equal to the dumping margin
established for the PRC-wide entity; and
(3) for all non-PRC exporters of the
merchandise under consideration which
have not received their own separate
rate above, the cash deposit rate will be
equal to the cash deposit rate applicable
to the PRC exporter/producer
combination that supplied that non-PRC
exporter. These suspension-ofliquidation instructions will remain in
effect until further notice.
Accordingly, effective on the date of
publication of the ITC’s final affirmative
injury determination, CBP will require,
at the same time as importers would
normally deposit estimated duties on
this subject merchandise, a cash deposit
equal to the estimated weighted-average
dumping margins indicated below,
adjusted, where appropriate, for export
subsidies and estimated domestic
subsidy pass-through, as discussed
above.15
Provisional Measures (AD)
Section 733(d) of the Act states that
instructions issued pursuant to an
affirmative preliminary determination
in an AD investigation may not remain
in effect for more than four months
except where exporters representing a
significant proportion of exports of the
subject merchandise request the
Department to extend that four-month
period to no more than six months. At
the request of exporters that account for
a significant proportion of certain solar
products from the PRC, we extended the
four-month period to no more than six
months in this case.16 As stated above,
in the investigation covering certain
solar products from the PRC, the
Department published the preliminary
determination in the AD investigation
on July 31, 2014. Therefore, the sixmonth period beginning on the date of
publication of the preliminary
determination in the AD investigation
ended on January 27, 2015.
Furthermore, section 737(b) of the Act
states that definitive duties are to begin
on the date of publication of the ITC’s
final injury determination.
Therefore, in accordance with section
733(d) of the Act and our practice, we
will instruct CBP to terminate the
suspension of liquidation and to
liquidate, without regard to
antidumping duties, unliquidated
entries of certain solar products from
the PRC, entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after
January 27, 2015, the date the
provisional measures expired, until and
through the day preceding the date of
publication of the ITC’s final injury
determination in the Federal Register.

Amendment to the CVD Final Determination
On December 23, 2014, the Department published its affirmative
final determination in the CVD investigation.\5\ On December 24, 2014,
Changzhou Trina Solar Energy Co., Ltd. (Trina Solar) and Wuxi Suntech
Power Co., Ltd. (Wuxi Suntech), respondents in the CVD investigation,
submitted timely ministerial error allegations and requested that the
Department correct the alleged ministerial errors in the subsidy margin
calculations.\6\ On December 29, 2014, SolarWorld Americas, Inc., the
petitioner in the CVD investigation, submitted timely rebuttal comments
on Trina Solar's and Wuxi Suntech's allegations.\7\ No other interested
party submitted ministerial error allegations or replied to Trina
Solar's or Wuxi Suntech's submissions.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ See CVD Final Determination.
\6\ See the Letter to the Secretary from Trina Solar, ``Certain
Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaic Products from the People's Republic
of China: Ministerial Errors Allegation,'' (December 24, 2014); see
also the Letter to the Secretary from Wuxi Suntech, ``Certain
Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaic Products from the People's Republic
of China: Ministerial Error Comments of Wuxi Suntech Power Co.,
Ltd.,'' (December 24, 2014).
\7\ See the Letter to the Secretary, ``Crystalline Silicon
Photovoltaic Products from the People's Republic of China: Response
to Trina's Ministerial Error Allegation,'' (December 29, 2014); see
also the Letter to the Secretary, ``Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaic
Products from the People's Republic of China: Response to Suntech's
Ministerial Error Comments,'' (December 29, 2014).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
After analyzing comments and rebuttals from all interested parties,
we determined, in accordance with section 705(e) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.224(e), that we made a ministerial error in our calculations for
the CVD Final Determination with respect to Trina Solar. At the
verification of Trina Solar's questionnaire responses, we discovered
unreported subsidy programs in Trina Solar's accounting system. We
translated certain line items from that accounting system at
verification and found that every translated line item represented a
countervailable subsidy in our CVD Final Determination. In so doing, we
inadvertently countervailed a subsidy program that did not appear among
the list of translated subsidy programs submitted as a verification
exhibit.\8\ This amended final CVD determination corrects this error
and revises the ad valorem subsidy rate for Trina Solar.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\8\ For a detailed discussion of all alleged ministerial errors,
as well as the Department's analysis, see the memorandum, ``Amended
Final Determination in the Countervailing Duty Investigation of
Certain Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaic Products from the People's
Republic of China: Ministerial Error Allegations,'' (February 6,
2015) (Ministerial Error Memorandum).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the CVD Final Determination, we based the estimated subsidy rate
for ``all others'' by calculating the simple average of Trina Solar's
and Wuxi Suntech's estimated subsidy rates.\9\ Because the subsidy rate
for all others is based on the rates for Trina Solar and Wuxi Suntech,
and the rate for Trina Solar changed because of the aforementioned
ministerial error, we have revised the calculation for the estimated
subsidy rate for all others in this amended final CVD
determination.\10\ The amended estimated ad valorem subsidy rates are
provided below.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\9\ See CVD Final Determination, 79 FR at 76964.
\10\ See Ministerial Error Memorandum at 10.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Antidumping Duty Order
As stated above, on February 5, 2015, in accordance with section
735(d) of the Act, the ITC notified the Department of its final
determination in its investigation, in which it found that an industry
in the United States is materially injured within the meaning of
section 735(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Act by reason of imports of certain
solar products from the PRC.\11\ Because the ITC determined that
imports of certain solar products from the PRC are materially injuring
a U.S. industry, unliquidated entries of such merchandise from the PRC,
entered or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption are subject to the
assessment of antidumping duties.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\11\ See ITC Determination.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Therefore, in accordance with section 736(a)(1) of the Act, the
Department will direct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to
assess, upon further instruction by the Department, antidumping duties
equal to the amount
[[Page 8594]]
by which the normal value of the merchandise exceeds the export price
(or constructed export price) of the merchandise, for all relevant
entries of certain solar products from the PRC. These antidumping
duties will be assessed on unliquidated entries of certain solar
products from the PRC entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after July 31, 2014, the date of publication of the
AD Preliminary Determination,\12\ but will not include entries
occurring after the expiration of the provisional measures period and
before publication of the ITC's final injury determination as further
described below.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\12\ See Certain Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaic Products From
the People's Republic of China: Affirmative Preliminary
Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value and Postponement of
Final Determination, 79 FR 44399 (July 31, 2014) (AD Preliminary
Determination).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Continuation of Suspension of Liquidation (AD)
In accordance with section 735(c)(1)(B) of the Act, the Department
will instruct CBP to continue to suspend liquidation of all appropriate
entries of certain solar products from the PRC as described in the
``Scope of the Orders'' section, which were entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after July 31, 2014, the date of
publication in the Federal Register of the notice of an affirmative
preliminary determination that certain solar products are being, or are
likely to be, sold in the United States at LTFV. Further, consistent
with our practice, where the product from the PRC under investigation
is also subject to a concurrent CVD investigation, the Department will
instruct CBP to require a cash deposit \13\ equal to the weighted-
average amount by which the normal value exceeds U.S. price, adjusted
where appropriate for export subsidies and estimated domestic subsidy
pass-through.\14\ The cash deposit rates, before any adjustments for
export subsidies and estimated domestic subsidy pass-through, are as
follows: (1) For each exporter/producer combination listed in the table
below, the cash deposit rate will be equal to the dumping margin listed
for that exporter/producer combination in the table; (2) for all other
combinations of PRC exporters/producers of the merchandise under
consideration, the cash deposit rate will be equal to the dumping
margin established for the PRC-wide entity; and (3) for all non-PRC
exporters of the merchandise under consideration which have not
received their own separate rate above, the cash deposit rate will be
equal to the cash deposit rate applicable to the PRC exporter/producer
combination that supplied that non-PRC exporter. These suspension-of-
liquidation instructions will remain in effect until further notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\13\ See Modification of Regulations Regarding the Practice of
Accepting Bonds During the Provisional Measures Period in
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Investigations, 76 FR 61042
(October 3, 2011).
\14\ See sections 772(c)(1)(C) and 777A(f) of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Accordingly, effective on the date of publication of the ITC's
final affirmative injury determination, CBP will require, at the same
time as importers would normally deposit estimated duties on this
subject merchandise, a cash deposit equal to the estimated weighted-
average dumping margins indicated below, adjusted, where appropriate,
for export subsidies and estimated domestic subsidy pass-through, as
discussed above.\15\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\15\ With respect to the final affirmative countervailing duty
determination in the companion investigation, because the
provisional measures period has expired, the Department will only
order the resumption of the suspension of liquidation, and require
cash deposits for countervailing duties equal to the final subsidy
rates, upon issuance of a final affirmative injury determination by
the ITC. As a result, the Department will make an adjustment to AD
cash deposits, where appropriate, for export subsidies and estimated
domestic subsidy pass-through as of the date of publication of the
ITC's final affirmative injury determination.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Provisional Measures (AD)
Section 733(d) of the Act states that instructions issued pursuant
to an affirmative preliminary determination in an AD investigation may
not remain in effect for more than four months except where exporters
representing a significant proportion of exports of the subject
merchandise request the Department to extend that four-month period to
no more than six months. At the request of exporters that account for a
significant proportion of certain solar products from the PRC, we
extended the four-month period to no more than six months in this
case.\16\ As stated above, in the investigation covering certain solar
products from the PRC, the Department published the preliminary
determination in the AD investigation on July 31, 2014. Therefore, the
six-month period beginning on the date of publication of the
preliminary determination in the AD investigation ended on January 27,
2015. Furthermore, section 737(b) of the Act states that definitive
duties are to begin on the date of publication of the ITC's final
injury determination.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\16\ See AD Preliminary Determination, 79 FR at 44396.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Therefore, in accordance with section 733(d) of the Act and our
practice, we will instruct CBP to terminate the suspension of
liquidation and to liquidate, without regard to antidumping duties,
unliquidated entries of certain solar products from the PRC, entered,
or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after January 27,
2015, the date the provisional measures expired, until and through the
day preceding the date of publication of the ITC's final injury
determination in the Federal Register.

Countervailing Duty Order
As stated above, on February 5, 2015, in accordance with section
705(d) of the Act, the ITC notified the Department of its final
determination in this investigation, in which it found that an industry
in the United States is materially injured within the meaning of
section 705(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Act by reason of imports of certain
solar products from the PRC.\17\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\17\ See ITC Determination.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Therefore, in accordance with section 706(a) of the Act, the
Department will direct CBP to assess, upon further instruction by the
Department, countervailing duties equal to the amounts listed below for
all relevant entries of certain solar products from the PRC. These
countervailing duties will be assessed on unliquidated entries of
certain solar products from the PRC entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after June 10, 2014, the date of
publication of the CVD Preliminary Determination,\18\ and before
October 8, 2014, the date on which the Department instructed CBP to
discontinue the suspension of liquidation in accordance with section
703(d) of the Act. Section 703(d) of the Act states that the suspension
of liquidation pursuant to a preliminary determination may not remain
in effect for more than four months. Entries of certain solar products
from the PRC made on or after October 8, 2014, and prior to the date of
publication of the ITC's final determination in the Federal Register
are not liable for the assessment of countervailing duties, due to the
Department's discontinuation, effective October 8, 2014, of the
suspension of liquidation.

the People's Republic of China: Preliminary Affirmative
Countervailing Duty Determination, 79 FR 33174 (June 10, 2014) (CVD
Preliminary Determination).

Suspension of Liquidation (CVD)
In accordance with section 706 of the Act, we will instruct CBP to
reinstitute the suspension of liquidation on all relevant entries of
certain solar products from the PRC. We will also instruct CBP
[[Page 8596]]
to require cash deposits equal to the amounts indicated below. These
instructions suspending liquidation will remain in effect until further
notice. Accordingly, effective on the date of publication of the ITC's
final affirmative injury determination, CBP will require, at the same
time as importers would normally deposit estimated duties on this
subject merchandise, cash deposits equal to the amounts indicated
below: \19\
