respondents easier access, convenience
and flexibility. In the few cases of
companies that have no access to the
Internet, the Census Bureau can arrange
for the companies to provide data to an
analyst via telephone.
The AWTS survey collects data on
annual sales, e-commerce sales,
operating expenses, purchases,
commissions, and year-end inventories.
There are five electronic form types
based on the specific type of operation
and structure of the sampled firm. Each
form asks a different subset of the items
listed above based on relevance to their
type of operation. These data are used
to satisfy a variety of public and
business needs such as economic
market analysis, company performance,
and forecasting future demands. The
Bureau of Economic Analysis uses the
data in developing the Nation’s Gross
Domestic Product (GDP) estimates and
the national accounts’ input-output
tables. The Bureau of Labor Statistics
uses the data as an input to its producer
price indices and in developing
productivity measurements.
Results will be available by type of
operation and item collected at the
United States summary level
approximately fifteen months after the
end of the reference year.
II. Method of Collection
The Census Bureau primarily collects
this information via the Internet and, in
rare cases when respondents have no
access to the Internet, by telephone.

Corrections to the Preliminary Results
The Federal Register notice for the
Preliminary Results incorrectly listed
the case number for this review as ‘‘C–
570–971,’’ instead of under the correct
case number ‘‘C–570–980.’’ 7
Accordingly, we now correct the
Preliminary Results of this
administrative review to be referenced
under case number ‘‘C–570–980.’’ In
addition, the Preliminary Results
inadvertently referenced a non-selected
company under review as ‘‘Toenergy
Technology,’’ rather than its legal name,
‘‘Toenergy Technology Hangzhou Co.,
Ltd.’’ 8 We hereby correct the
Preliminary Results to reference
‘‘Toenergy Technology Hangzhou Co.,
Ltd,’’ as a non-selected company under
review.
Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in interested parties’
briefs are addressed in the Issues and
Decision Memorandum accompanying
this notice. A list of the issues raised by
interested parties and to which we
responded in the Issues and Decision
Memorandum is provided in Appendix
I to this notice. The Issues and Decision
Memorandum is a public document and
is on file electronically via Enforcement
and Compliance’s Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Centralized
Electronic Service System (ACCESS).
ACCESS is available to registered users
at https://access.trade.gov and in the
Central Records Unit, room B8024 of the
main Department of Commerce
building. In addition, a complete
version of the Issues and Decision
Memorandum can be access directly at
https://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/. The
signed and electronic versions of the
Issues and Decision Memorandum are
identical in content.
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on case briefs, rebuttal briefs,
and all supporting documentation, we
made changes from the Preliminary
Results. The Department has modified
its creditworthiness findings for both
mandatory respondents to find that the
respondents were creditworthy during
certain years. Additionally, the
Department has adjusted Canadian
Solar’s inland freight charges when
constructing the benchmarks for its
Countervailing Duty Operations, ‘‘Decision
Memorandum for Final Results and Partial
Rescission of Countervailing Duty Administrative
Review: Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaic Cells,

purchases regarding the provision of
inputs for LTAR programs and its
discount rates for the Preferential Policy
Lending program. We also adjusted the
discount rates for both respondents
based on our final determination that
both mandatory respondents were
creditworthy in certain years.
Partial Rescission of Review
We are rescinding this administrative
review for 20 companies named in the
Initiation Notice.9 In the Preliminary
Results, we made a preliminary
determination to rescind the review of
companies for which all review requests
were timely withdrawn.10 We received
no comments with regard to this
preliminary determination, and are
accordingly rescinding the review for
these companies in accordance with 19
CFR 351.212(d)(1). With respect to JA
Solar Technology Yangzhou Co., Ltd.;
JingAo Solar Co., Ltd.; and Shanghai JA
Solar Technology Co., Ltd. (collectively,
the JA Solar Companies), the
Preliminary Results stated that we
preliminarily intended to rescind the
review for these companies because
they timely withdrew their request for
review and no other party requested a
review for these companies.11 This was
incorrect, as petitioners also requested a
review of the JA Solar Companies.12
However, we also noted that the JA
Solar Companies reported that they
made no exports or sales of subject
merchandise to the United States during
the POR.13 We received no comments
regarding whether to rescind the review
of the JA Solar Companies or on what
basis the review should be rescinded.
As a result, we are rescinding the review
with respect to the JA Solar Companies
pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3).
All companies for which we are
rescinding this administrative review
are listed in Appendix II to this notice.
For these companies, countervailing
duties shall be assessed at rates equal to
the rates of the cash deposits for
estimated countervailing duties required
at the time of entry, or withdrawal from

POR, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(c)(2).
Methodology
The Department conducted this
review in accordance with section
751(a)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (the Act). For each of the
subsidy programs found to be
countervailable, we find that there is a
subsidy, i.e., a financial contribution
from a government or public entity that
gives rise to a benefit to the recipient,
and that the subsidy is specific.14 For a
full description of the methodology
underlying all of the Department’s
conclusions, including any
determination that relied upon the use
of adverse facts available pursuant to
sections 776(a) and (b) of the Act, see
the Issues and Decision Memorandum.
Final Results of Administrative Review
In accordance with 19 CFR
351.221(b)(5), we calculated a
countervailable subsidy rate for the two
mandatory respondents, Canadian Solar
and Trina Solar. For the non-selected
companies subject to this review,15 we
followed the Department’s practice,
which is to base the subsidy rates on an
average of the subsidy rates calculated
for those companies selected for
individual review, excluding de
minimis rates or rates based entirely on
adverse facts available.16 In this case, for
the non-selected companies, we have
calculated a rate by weight-averaging
the calculated subsidy rates of the two
mandatory respondents using their
publicly-ranged sales data for exports of
subject merchandise to the United
States during the POR. We find the
countervailable subsidy rates for the
producers/exporters under review to be
as follows:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
As signed on July 10, 2014, Section H
of the Agreement stated that, ‘‘{t}his
Agreement shall terminate three years
after the effective date of this
Agreement, on July 10, 2017.’’ 1 On
December 9, 2016, the Ukrainian
signatory producer/exporter Interpipe 2
requested that the Agreement be
extended by five years, to July 10,
2022.3 On December 22, 2016, the
Department invited interested parties to
comment on the extension request.4 On
January 13, 2017, the Petitioners 5 filed
a letter in opposition to the request to
extend the Agreement.6 On May 19,
2017, the Department informed
Interpipe that it was denying Interpipe’s
request to extend the Agreement by five
years.7 The Department stated that it
had reviewed Interpipe’s request and
the comments received from interested
parties and that it intended to follow the
current terms of the Agreement by
proceeding to issue an antidumping
duty order on July 10, 2017.
Subsequently, the Department
reconsidered its decision and, on July
10, 2017, met with counsel to the

Corrections to the Preliminary Results
The Federal Register notice for the Preliminary Results incorrectly
listed the case number for this review as ``C-570-971,'' instead of
under the correct case number ``C-570-980.'' \7\ Accordingly, we now
correct the Preliminary Results of this administrative review to be
referenced under case number ``C-570-980.'' In addition, the
Preliminary Results inadvertently referenced a non-selected company
under review as ``Toenergy Technology,'' rather than its legal name,
``Toenergy Technology Hangzhou Co., Ltd.'' \8\ We hereby correct the
Preliminary Results to reference ``Toenergy Technology Hangzhou Co.,
Ltd,'' as a non-selected company under review.

Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in interested parties' briefs are addressed in
the Issues and Decision Memorandum accompanying this notice. A list of
the issues raised by interested parties and to which we responded in
the Issues and Decision Memorandum is provided in Appendix I to this
notice. The Issues and Decision Memorandum is a public document and is
on file electronically via Enforcement and Compliance's Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS).
ACCESS is available to registered users at https://access.trade.gov and
in the Central Records Unit, room B8024 of the main Department of
Commerce building. In addition, a complete version of the Issues and
Decision Memorandum can be access directly at https://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/. The signed and electronic versions of the
Issues and Decision Memorandum are identical in content.
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on case briefs, rebuttal briefs, and all supporting
documentation, we made changes from the Preliminary Results. The
Department has modified its creditworthiness findings for both
mandatory respondents to find that the respondents were creditworthy
during certain years. Additionally, the Department has adjusted
Canadian Solar's inland freight charges when constructing the
benchmarks for its purchases regarding the provision of inputs for LTAR
programs and its discount rates for the Preferential Policy Lending
program. We also adjusted the discount rates for both respondents based
on our final determination that both mandatory respondents were
creditworthy in certain years.
Partial Rescission of Review
We are rescinding this administrative review for 20 companies named
in the Initiation Notice.\9\ In the Preliminary Results, we made a
preliminary determination to rescind the review of companies for which
all review requests were timely withdrawn.\10\ We received no comments
with regard to this preliminary determination, and are accordingly
rescinding the review for these companies in accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(d)(1). With respect to JA Solar Technology Yangzhou Co., Ltd.;
JingAo Solar Co., Ltd.; and Shanghai JA Solar Technology Co., Ltd.
(collectively, the JA Solar Companies), the Preliminary Results stated
that we preliminarily intended to rescind the review for these
companies because they timely withdrew their request for review and no
other party requested a review for these companies.\11\ This was
incorrect, as petitioners also requested a review of the JA Solar
Companies.\12\ However, we also noted that the JA Solar Companies
reported that they made no exports or sales of subject merchandise to
the United States during the POR.\13\ We received no comments regarding
whether to rescind the review of the JA Solar Companies or on what
basis the review should be rescinded. As a result, we are rescinding
the review with respect to the JA Solar Companies pursuant to 19 CFR
351.213(d)(3).

All companies for which we are rescinding this administrative
review are listed in Appendix II to this notice. For these companies,
countervailing duties shall be assessed at rates equal to the rates of
the cash deposits for estimated countervailing duties required at the
time of entry, or withdrawal from
[[Page 32680]]
warehouse, for consumption, during the POR, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(c)(2).
Methodology
The Department conducted this review in accordance with section
751(a)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). For each
of the subsidy programs found to be countervailable, we find that there
is a subsidy, i.e., a financial contribution from a government or
public entity that gives rise to a benefit to the recipient, and that
the subsidy is specific.\14\ For a full description of the methodology
underlying all of the Department's conclusions, including any
determination that relied upon the use of adverse facts available
pursuant to sections 776(a) and (b) of the Act, see the Issues and
Decision Memorandum.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\14\ See sections 771(5)(B) and (D) of the Act regarding
financial contribution; section 771(5)(E) of the Act regarding
benefit; and section 771(5A) of the Act regarding specificity.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Final Results of Administrative Review
In accordance with 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5), we calculated a
countervailable subsidy rate for the two mandatory respondents,
Canadian Solar and Trina Solar. For the non-selected companies subject
to this review,\15\ we followed the Department's practice, which is to
base the subsidy rates on an average of the subsidy rates calculated
for those companies selected for individual review, excluding de
minimis rates or rates based entirely on adverse facts available.\16\
In this case, for the non-selected companies, we have calculated a rate
by weight-averaging the calculated subsidy rates of the two mandatory
respondents using their publicly-ranged sales data for exports of
subject merchandise to the United States during the POR. We find the
countervailable subsidy rates for the producers/exporters under review
to be as follows:
