ACTION: Notice and request for comments. AGENCY: On January 23, 2018, the President imposed a safeguard measure on imports of certain solar products pursuant to a Section 201 investigation. On February 14, 2018, the U.S. Trade Representative established procedures for interested persons to request product-specific exclusions from application of the safeguard measure and comment on the submitted requests. Based on the requests and comments received, the U.S. Trade Representative granted certain requests on June 13, 2019, including a request to exclude from the safeguard measure bifacial solar panels that consist only of bifacial solar cells. This notice establishes procedures for interested persons to submit comments, and respond to comments, on whether the U.S. Trade Representative should maintain the exclusion of bifacial solar panels from the safeguard measure, withdraw the exclusion, or take some other action within his authority with respect to this exclusion. DATES: February 17, 2020, at 11:59 p.m. EST: Submission of comments on whether the U.S. Trade Representative should maintain the exclusion of bifacial solar panels from the safeguard measure, withdraw the exclusion, or take some other action within his authority with respect to this exclusion. February 27, 2020, at 11:59 p.m. EST: Submission of responses to comments.

Background On January 23, 2018, the President issued Proclamation 9693 (83 FR 3541) to impose a safeguard measure under section 201 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 2251) with respect to certain crystalline silicon photovoltaic (CSPV) cells and other products (CSPV products) containing these cells. The Proclamation directed the U.S. Trade Representative to establish procedures for interested persons to request product-specific exclusions from the safeguard measure. It also authorized the U.S. Trade Representative, after consultation with the Secretaries of Commerce and Energy, to exclude products by modifying the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) with publication of a determination in the Federal Register to exclude such products. On February 14, 2018, the U.S. Trade Representative issued a notice setting out the procedures to request a product exclusion and opened a public docket. See 83 FR 6670 (the February 2018 notice). Under the February 2018 notice, requests for exclusion were to identify the particular product in terms of its physical characteristics (such as dimensions, wattage, material composition, or other distinguishing characteristics) that differentiate it from other products subject to the safeguard measure. The February 2018 notice provided that the U.S. Trade Representative would not consider requests identifying the product at issue in terms of the identity of the producer, importer, or ultimate consumer; the country of origin; or trademarks or tradenames. The notice also confirmed that the U.S. Trade Representative would only grant exclusions that did not undermine the objectives of the safeguard measure. Based on the February 2018 notice, the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) received 48 product exclusion requests and 213 subsequent comments responding to the various requests. The exclusion requests generally fell into seven categories, one of which concerned bifacial solar panels. On September 19, 2018, and June 13, 2019, the U.S. Trade Representative granted certain product exclusion requests and modified the HTSUS accordingly. See 83 FR 47393 and 84 FR 27684. The notice published on June 13, 2019 (the June 2019 notice) excluded from application of the safeguard measure ‘‘bifacial solar panels that absorb light and generate electricity on each side of the panel and that consist PO 00000 Frm 00135 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 of only bifacial solar cells that absorb light and generate electricity on each side of the cells.’’ On October 9, 2019, the U.S. Trade Representative concluded, based on an evaluation of newly available information and after consultation with the Secretaries of Commerce and Energy, that maintaining the exclusion would undermine the objectives of the safeguard measure. Accordingly, the U.S. Trade Representative published a notice withdrawing the exclusion of bifacial solar panels, effective as of October 28, 2019. See 84 FR 54244. On October 21, 2019, Invenergy Renewables LLC filed a complaint with the U.S. Court of International Trade alleging that USTR failed to provide notice and comment required under the Administrative Procedure Act (APA), 5 U.S.C. 551 et seq., before withdrawing the exclusion of bifacial solar panels. Invenergy filed a motion for a preliminary injunction to prevent the withdrawal from entering into effect. The Court issued a preliminary injunction on December 5, 2019, enjoining the U.S. Trade Representative from withdrawing the exclusion on bifacial solar panels from the safeguard measure. If the U.S. Trade Representative determines after receipt of comments pursuant to this notice that it would be appropriate to withdraw the bifacial exclusion or take some other action with respect to this exclusion, the U.S. Trade Representative will request that the Court lift the injunction. B. Comments on the Retention or Withdrawal of the Exclusion of Bifacial Solar Panels USTR is concerned that: (1) The bifacial solar panel exclusion will result in significant increases in imports of bifacial solar panels and therefore will undermine the objectives of the safeguard measure; (2) the precise definition of bifacial solar panels excluded from the safeguard measure may require clarification; and (3) the exclusion in the June 2019 notice is broader than the category of products described in the exclusion requests submitted as of March 16, 2018. For these reasons, USTR is seeking public comment on whether the U.S. Trade Representative should maintain the exclusion of bifacial solar panels from the safeguard measure, withdraw the exclusion, or take some other action within his authority with respect to this exclusion. The U.S. Trade Representative specifically requests information or views regarding the following, with sufficient evidence to support a particular position: E:\FR\FM\27JAN1.SGM 27JAN1
