Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 31 / Thursday, February 16, 2017 / Notices
Department received no comments
concerning a lack of industry support
with respect to these changed
circumstances reviews.
As noted in the Initiation Notice,
PulseTech requested revocation of the
Orders, in part, and supported its
request. In light of PulseTech’s Request,
Petitioner’s agreement with the scope
exclusion language proposed by
PulseTech, and in the absence of any
interested party comments received
during the comment period, we
preliminarily conclude that changed
circumstances warrant revocation of the
Orders, in part, because the producers
accounting for substantially all of the
production of the domestic like product
to which the Orders pertain lack interest
in the relief provided by the Orders with
respect to certain solar panels
incorporated in battery charging and
maintaining units, as described above.
We will consider comments from
interested parties on these preliminary
results of reviews before issuing the
final results of these reviews.13
Accordingly, we are notifying the
public of our intent to revoke the
Orders, in part. We intend to carry out
this revocation by including the
following exclusion language in the
scope of each of the Orders:
Additionally, excluded from the scope of
the order are solar panels that are: (1) Less
than 300,000 mm2 in surface area; (2) less
than 27.1 watts in power; (3) coated across
their entire surface with a polyurethane
doming resin; and (4) joined to a battery
charging and maintaining unit (which is an
acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (‘‘ABS’’) box
that incorporates a light emitting diode
(‘‘LED’’)) by coated wires that include a
connector to permit the incorporation of an
extension cable. The battery charging and
maintaining unit utilizes high-frequency
triangular pulse waveforms designed to
maintain and extend the life of batteries
through the reduction of lead sulfate crystals.
The above-described battery charging and
maintaining unit is currently available under
the registered trademark ‘‘SolarPulse.’’

If we make a final determination to
revoke the Orders in part, then the
Department will apply this
determination to each order as follows.
If, at the time of the final
determinations, there have been no
completed administrative reviews of an
order, then the partial revocation will be
applied to unliquidated entries of
merchandise subject to the changed
circumstances review that were entered
or withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption, on or after the date that
corresponds to the date suspension of
liquidation first began in the relevant
proceeding.14 If, at the time of the final
determinations, there have been
completed administrative reviews of an
order, then the partial revocation will be
retroactively applied to unliquidated
entries of merchandise subject to the
changed circumstances reviews that
were entered or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption, on or after
the day following the last day of the
period covered by the most recently
completed administrative review of the
applicable order. Specifically, under
this scenario, the partial revocation for
merchandise subject to the AD orders
would be applied retroactively to
unliquidated entries of merchandise
entered or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption, on or after February 1,
2016, and the partial revocation for
merchandise subject to the CVD order
would be applied retroactively to
unliquidated entries of merchandise
entered or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption, on or after January 1,
2016, as applicable.

the Department continues to determine
that changed circumstances warrant the
revocation of the Orders, in part, we
will instruct U.S. Customs and Border
Protection to liquidate without regard to
AD or CVD duties, and to refund any
estimated AD or CVD duties, on all
unliquidated entries of the merchandise
covered by the revocation that are not
covered by the final results of an
administrative review or automatic
liquidation.
The current requirement for cash
deposits of estimated AD and CVD
duties on all entries of subject
merchandise will continue unless they
are modified pursuant to the final
results of these changed circumstances
reviews.
These preliminary results of reviews
and notice are in accordance with
sections 751(b) and 777(i) of the Act and
19 CFR 351.221 and 19 CFR 351.222.
