SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background On July 23, 2018, Commerce published its final results of the 2015 administrative review of solar cells.1 Commerce reached affirmative determinations for mandatory respondents Canadian Solar Inc. and its cross-owned affiliates (collectively, Canadian Solar) and Changzhou Trina Solar Energy Co., Ltd. and its crossowned affiliates (collectively, Trina Solar), as well as numerous other producers and exporters not selected for individual review. Commerce requested a voluntary remand regarding four issues before the Court: (1) Its finding, based on adverse facts available, that the respondents used the Export Buyer’s Credit Program; (2) its determination that China’s provision of aluminum extrusions is a specific subsidy; (3) the decision to average two datasets from IHS technology and U.N. Comtrade in calculating the benchmark for aluminum extrusions; and (4) the determination that China’s provision of electricity is a specific subsidy. On February 25, 2020, the Court granted Commerce’s requests for voluntary remands, and remanded additional aspects of Commerce’s Final Results.2 Specifically, the Court concluded that Commerce did not adequately explain how the polysilicon market in China is distorted through GOC intervention and how that distortion affects prices for imported products.3 Additionally, the Court found that Commerce had misinterpreted evidence regarding the 1 See Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaic Cells, Whether or Not Assembled into Modules, from the People’s Republic of China: Final Results of Countervailing Duty Administrative Review; 2015, 83 FR 34828 (July 23, 2018) (Final Results), and accompanying Issues and Decision Memorandum, as amended by Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaic Cells, Whether or Not Assembled into Modules, from the People’s Republic of China: Amended Final Results of Countervailing Duty Administrative Review; 2015, 83 FR 54566 (October 30, 2018) (Amended Final Results). 2 See Canadian Solar Inc., et al. v.
