SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On December 7, 2012, Commerce
published the CVD order on CSPV cells
from China.1 On November 1, 2017,
Commerce published a notice of
initiation of the first sunset review of
the Order, pursuant to section 751(c)(2)
of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended
(the Act).2 On November 13, 2017,
SolarWorld Americas, Inc. (SolarWorld
or the petitioner) filed a notice of intent
to participate in the review within the
deadline specified in 19 CFR
351.218(d)(1)(i).3 SolarWorld claimed
interested party status pursuant to
section 771(9)(C) of the Act, as a
manufacturer of CSPV cells and
modules in the United States.
Commerce received an adequate
substantive response from the domestic
industry within the 30-day deadline
specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i).
Commerce did not receive a response
from the Government of China (GOC),
nor any other respondent interested
party to the proceeding. As a result,
pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(B) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.218(e)(l)(ii)(B)(2)
and (C)(2), Commerce conducted an
expedited review of the Order. The
deadline for this sunset review was
extended to March 5, 2018, as a result
of the tolling of deadlines for the
January 20–22, 2018, closure of the
Federal Government.4
Scope of the Order
The merchandise subject to the Order
is crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells,
whether or not assembled into modules,
from China. Certain CSVP cells that are
the subject of the Order are currently
classifiable under subheadings
