administrative review of crystalline
silicon photovoltaic cells, whether or
not assembled into modules (solar
cells), from the People’s Republic of
China (China). The Department of
Commerce (Commerce) is notifying the
public that the final judgment in this
litigation is not in harmony with
Commerce’s final results in the 2014–
2015 AD administrative review of solar
cells from China, and therefore,
Commerce is amending those final
results, as explained below.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On June 27, 2017, Commerce
published its Final Results of the 2014–
2015 AD administrative review of solar
cells from China.1 On April 16, 2019,
the Court directed Commerce to
reconsider or further explain its
surrogate value selections for Canadian
Solar International Limited (Canadian
Solar) 2 and Changzhou Trina Solar
Energy Co., Ltd.’s (Trina) 3 module glass,
its application of an adverse inference,
in part, in calculating Canadian Solar’s
dumping margin, and its decision not to
grant Ningbo Qixin Solar Electrical
Appliance Co., Ltd. (Qixin) a separate
rate.4
In the First Remand Redetermination,
Commerce continued to calculate
Canadian Solar’s dumping margin using
partial adverse facts available (AFA) in
valuing factors of production (FOP) for
which consumption quantities were not
provided by certain unaffiliated
suppliers.5 With regard to Qixin,
Commerce continued to find that Qixin
is not eligible for a separate rate.6
Commerce also determined, under
respectful protest, to value Canadian

Solar and Trina’s module glass using the
Bulgarian Harmonized Tariff Schedule
(HTS) subheading 7007.19.80, instead of
the Thailand HTS subheading
7007.19.90.7
On December 3, 2019, the Court
sustained Commerce’s selection of
Bulgarian import data to value module
glass, and its decision not to grant Qixin
a separate rate; however, the Court
remanded for further explanation or
reconsideration Commerce’s application
of partial AFA in calculating Canadian
Solar’s dumping margin.8
In the Second Remand
Redetermination, pursuant to the
Court’s holding in Canadian Solar II,
Commerce determined, under respectful
protest, to base Canadian Solar’s
unreported FOP consumption on partial
facts available rather than partial AFA.9
Specifically, Commerce based the
unreported consumption on the average
of the consumption that was reported
for certain of Canadian Solar’s FOPs.10
Commerce assigned the margin
calculated for Canadian Solar to those
respondents eligible for a separate rate
and which participated in the
litigation.11 On June 15, 2020, the Court
sustained the Second Remand
Redetermination.12
Timken Notice
In its decision in Timken,13 as
clarified by Diamond Sawblades,14 the
United States Court of Appeals for the
Federal Circuit (CAFC) held that,
pursuant to section 516A(c) and (e) of
the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the
Act), Commerce must publish a notice
of a court decision that is not ‘‘in
harmony’’ with a Commerce
determination and must suspend
liquidation of entries pending a
‘‘conclusive’’ court decision. The
Court’s June 15, 2020, final judgment
sustaining Commerce’s Second Remand
Redetermination constitutes a final
decision of the Court that is not in
harmony with Commerce’s Final
Results. This notice is published in
fulfillment of the publication
requirements of Timken.
Amended Final Results
Because there is now a final court
decision, Commerce is amending its
Final Results. The amended weightedaverage dumping margin for the
respondents is below:

Section 703(b)(1) of the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended (the Act), requires
Commerce to issue the preliminary
determination in a CVD investigation
within 65 days after the date on which
Commerce initiated the investigation.
However, section 703(c)(1) of the Act
permits Commerce to postpone the
preliminary determination until no later
than 130 days after the date on which
Commerce initiated the investigation if:
(A) The petitioner makes a timely
request for a postponement; or (B)
Commerce concludes that the parties
concerned are cooperating, that the
investigation is extraordinarily
complicated, and that additional time is
necessary to make a preliminary
determination. Under 19 CFR
351.205(e), the petitioner must submit a
request for postponement 25 days or
more before the scheduled date of the
preliminary determination and must
state the reasons for the request.
Commerce will grant the request unless
it finds compelling reasons to deny the
request.2
On June 12, 2020, the petitioners 3
submitted a timely request that
Commerce postpone the preliminary
CVD determination.4 The petitioners
request postponement to allow the
petitioners and other interested parties
additional time to analyze the initial
questionnaire responses submitted by

Turkey, and for Commerce to request
additional or clarifying information, if
necessary.5

Timken Notice
In its decision in Timken,\13\ as clarified by Diamond
Sawblades,\14\ the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal
Circuit (CAFC) held that, pursuant to section 516A(c) and (e) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), Commerce must publish a
notice of a court decision that is not ``in harmony'' with a Commerce
determination and must suspend liquidation of entries pending a
``conclusive'' court decision. The Court's June 15, 2020, final
judgment sustaining Commerce's Second Remand Redetermination
constitutes a final decision of the Court that is not in harmony with
Commerce's Final Results. This notice is published in fulfillment of
the publication requirements of Timken.

Accordingly, Commerce will continue the suspension of liquidation
of the subject merchandise pending the expiration of the period of
appeal or, if appealed, pending a final and conclusive court decision.
In the event
[[Page 39522]]
the Court's ruling is not appealed or, if appealed, upheld by the CAFC,
Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to assess
antidumping duties on unliquidated entries of subject merchandise
exported by the respondents using assessment rates based on these
amended final results of review.
Cash Deposit Requirements
Because the cash deposit rate for all of the respondents listed
above, with the exception of Jiawei Solarchina Co. Ltd., Ningbo ETDZ
Holdings, Ltd., Star Power International Limited, and Toenergy
Technology Hangzhou Co., Ltd., have been superseded by cash deposit
rates calculated in intervening administrative reviews of the AD order
on solar cells from China, we will not alter the cash deposit rate
currently in effect for these respondents based on these amended final
results. Effective June 25, 2020, the cash deposit rate applicable to
entries of subject merchandise exported by Jiawei Solarchina Co. Ltd.,
Ningbo ETDZ Holdings, Ltd., Star Power International Limited, and
Toenergy Technology Hangzhou Co., Ltd. is 3.19 percent.
Notification to Interested Parties
This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections
516A(e), 751(a)(1), and 777(i)(1) of the Act.
