Methodology and Preliminary Results
Commerce is conducting this review
in accordance with section 751(a)(1)(C)
of the Act, which specifies that
Commerce shall ‘‘review the current
status of, and compliance with, any
agreement by reason of which an
investigation was suspended.’’ In this
case, Commerce and a representative of
the Mexican sugar producers/exporters
accounting for substantially all imports
of sugar from Mexico signed the AD
Agreement, which suspended the
underlying antidumping duty
investigation, on December 19, 2014.
Further, on June 30, 2017, Commerce
and a representative of the Mexican
sugar producers/exporters accounting
for substantially all imports of sugar
from Mexico signed an amendment to
the AD Agreement. Pursuant to the
amended AD Agreement, the Mexican
signatories agreed that the subject
merchandise would be subject to
minimum reference prices and that at
least 85 percent of the dumping from
the original investigation would be
eliminated, as outlined in the amended
AD Agreement.9 The Mexican
signatories also agreed to other
conditions, including the reporting of
the polarity testing of Other Sugar 10 and
enhanced monitoring.11
After reviewing the information
received from the respondent
companies in their questionnaire and
supplemental questionnaire responses,
we preliminarily determine that the
respondents have adhered to the terms
of the amended AD Agreement and that
the amended AD Agreement is
functioning as intended. Further, we
preliminarily determine that the
amended AD Agreement is meeting the
statutory requirements under sections
734(c) and (d) of the Act. For a full
description of the methodology
underlying our conclusions, see the
Preliminary Decision Memorandum.

Register.3 On August 20, 2018,
Commerce published the preliminary
results of these CCRs, in which it found
that producers accounting for
substantially all of the production of the
domestic like product to which the
Orders pertain lack interest in the relief
afforded by the Orders with respect to
certain off-grid solar panels.4
On September 4, 2018, Goal Zero and
the petitioner 5 requested that partial
revocation of the Orders be applied
retroactively starting January 1, 2015 for
purposes of the CVD Order, and
December 1, 2015 for purposes of the
AD Order.6
Final Results of Changed
Circumstances Reviews, and
Revocation of the Orders, In Part
Because no party submitted
comments opposing the preliminary
results of these CCRs, and the record
contains no other information or
evidence that calls into question the
preliminary results, Commerce
determines, pursuant to sections
751(d)(1) and 782(h) of the Act, and 19
CFR 351.222(g), that there are changed
circumstances that warrant revocation
of the Orders, in part. Specifically,
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 off-grid solar panels as described
below, we are revoking the Orders, in
part, with respect to the following:
(1) Off grid CSPV panels in rigid form with
a glass cover, with the following
characteristics:
(A) A total power output of 100 watts or
less per panel;
(B) a maximum surface area of 8,000 cm2
per panel;
(C) do not include a built-in inverter;

Methodology and Preliminary Results
Commerce is conducting this review in accordance with section
751(a)(1)(C) of the Act, which specifies that Commerce shall ``review
the current status of, and compliance with, any agreement by reason of
which an investigation was suspended.'' In this case, Commerce and a
representative of the Mexican sugar producers/exporters accounting for
substantially all imports of sugar from Mexico signed the AD Agreement,
which suspended the underlying antidumping duty investigation, on
December 19, 2014. Further, on June 30, 2017, Commerce and a
representative of the Mexican sugar producers/exporters accounting for
substantially all imports of sugar from Mexico signed an amendment to
the AD Agreement. Pursuant to the amended AD Agreement, the Mexican
signatories agreed that the subject merchandise would be subject to
minimum reference prices and that at least 85 percent of the dumping
from the original investigation would be eliminated, as outlined in the
amended AD Agreement.\9\ The Mexican signatories also agreed to other
conditions, including the reporting of the polarity testing of Other
Sugar \10\ and enhanced monitoring.\11\

Implementation. See also AD Amendment, 82 FR 31944.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
After reviewing the information received from the respondent
companies in their questionnaire and supplemental questionnaire
responses, we preliminarily determine that the respondents have adhered
to the terms of the amended AD Agreement and that the amended AD
Agreement is functioning as intended. Further, we preliminarily
determine that the amended AD Agreement is meeting the statutory
requirements under sections 734(c) and (d) of the Act. For a full
description of the methodology underlying our conclusions, see the
Preliminary Decision Memorandum. Commerce notes that it is addressing
one issue related to Grupo Zucarmex,
[[Page 65344]]
which involves discussion of business proprietary information, in a
separate memorandum.\12\
