Advisory Committee on Supply Chain Competitiveness: Notice of Public Meeting, 747-748 [2021-28595]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 4 / Thursday, January 6, 2022 / Notices TKELLEY on DSK125TN23PROD with NOTICE Assessment Rates Commerce shall determine and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries of subject merchandise in accordance with the final results of this review. For ULMA, we calculated importer-specific assessment rates on the basis of the ratio of the total amount of dumping calculated for each importer’s examined sales and the total entered value of those sales in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). Where an importerspecific assessment rate is de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent), the entries by that importer will be liquidated without regard to antidumping duties. For entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by ULMA for which it did not know its merchandise was destined for the United States, we will instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed entries at the all-others rate if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction.7 For the companies identified above that were not selected for individual examination, we will instruct CBP to liquidate entries at the rates established in these final results of review. Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days after the date of publication of the final results of this review in the Federal Register. If a timely summons is filed at the U.S. Court of International Trade, the assessment instructions will direct CBP not to liquidate relevant entries until the time for parties to file a request for a statutory injunction has expired (i.e., within 90 days of publication). Cash Deposit Requirements The following cash deposit requirements for estimated antidumping duties will be effective upon publication of this notice for all shipments of flanges from Spain entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of publication as provided by section 751(a)(2) of the Act: (1) The cash deposit rate for the companies subject to this review will be equal to the companyspecific weighted-average dumping margin established in the final results of the review; (2) for merchandise exported by producers or exporters not covered in this review but covered in a prior completed segment of the proceeding, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the company-specific rate published in 7 See Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003). VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:13 Jan 05, 2022 Jkt 256001 747 the completed segment for the most recent period; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this review, a prior review, or the original investigation, but the producer has been covered in a prior completed segment of this proceeding, then the cash deposit rate will be the rate established in the completed segment for the most recent period for the producer of the merchandise; (4) the cash deposit rate for all other producers or exporters will continue to be 18.81 percent, the all-others rate established in the less-than-fair-value investigation of this proceeding.8 These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice. III. Scope of the Order IV. Discussion of the Issues Comment 1: Currency of Imputed Credit Expenses Comment 2: Scrap Offset Comment 3: Differential Pricing Methodology Comment 4: Marine Insurance Currency Comment 5: Rounding of General and Administrative Expenses Ratio V. Recommendation Notification to Importers This notice serves as a final reminder to importers of their responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation of the relevant entries during this POR. Failure to comply with this requirement could result in Commerce’s presumption that reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of double antidumping duties. Advisory Committee on Supply Chain Competitiveness: Notice of Public Meeting Notification to Interested Parties Regarding Administrative Protective Order This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility concerning the destruction or return of proprietary information disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), which continues to govern business proprietary information in this segment of the proceeding. Timely written notification of the destruction or return of APO materials or conversion to judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to comply with the regulations and terms of an APO is a sanctionable violation. We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5). Dated: December 30, 2021.

TKELLEY on DSK125TN23PROD with NOTICE AGENCY: VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:13 Jan 05, 2022 Jkt 256001 SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background On February 4, 2021, Commerce initiated this administrative review of the countervailing duty (CVD) order on solar cells from China on 83 companies.1 On July 23, 2021, we partially rescinded this review with respect to eleven companies for which the requests for review were withdrawn by the requesting parties within 90 days of the date of publication of the notice of initiation in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1).2 Therefore, this review now covers 72 companies, of which JA Solar Technology Yangzhou Co., Ltd. (JA Solar) and Risen Energy Co., Ltd. (Risen) are the mandatory respondents. On July 30, September 2, and December 6, 2021, Commerce extended the time limit for completion of these preliminary results until no later than December 30, 2021.3 For a complete description of the events that followed the initiation of this review, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.4 A list of topics discussed in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum is provided in an appendix to this notice. The Preliminary Decision Memorandum is a public document and is on file electronically via Enforcement and Compliance’s Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic System (ACCESS). ACCESS is available to registered users at https:// access.trade.gov. In addition, a complete version of the Preliminary Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly at https://access.trade.gov/public/ FRNoticesListLayout.aspx. Scope of the Order The products covered by this order are crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells, and modules, laminates, and panels, consisting of crystalline silicon 1 See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews, 86 FR 8166 (February 4, 2021). 2 See Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaic Cells, Whether or Not Assembled Into Modules from the People’s Republic of China: Partial Rescission of Countervailing Duty Administrative Review; 2019, 86 FR 38978 (July 23, 2021). 3 See Memorandum, ‘‘Extension of Deadline for the Preliminary Results of Countervailing Duty Administrative Review,’’ dated July 30, 2021; see also Memorandum, ‘‘Extension of the Deadline for Preliminary Results,’’ dated September 2, 2021; and Memorandum, ‘‘Extension of Time Limit for the Preliminary Results,’’ dated December 6, 2021. 4 See Memorandum, ‘‘Decision Memorandum for the Preliminary Results of the Administrative Review of the Countervailing Duty Order on Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaic Cells, Whether or Not Assembled Into Modules, from the People’s Republic of China; 2019,’’ dated concurrently with, and hereby adopted by, this notice (Preliminary Decision Memorandum).

For a complete description of the scope of this order, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. Intent To Rescind Review, in Part In accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), we intend to rescind this review with respect to 48 other companies for which we find no reviewable suspended entries of subject merchandise, based on U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) data. See Appendix III for a complete list of those companies. Trina Solar Energy Co., Ltd. (formerly, Changzhou Trina Solar Energy Co., Ltd.) and its cross-owned companies (collectively, Trina) certified that they had no sales of subject merchandise during the POR and requested rescission of the review.5 However, the CBP entry data on the record show shipments made by these companies during the POR. Thus, we have requested entry information from CBP regarding these shipments. Upon receipt from CBP, we will place the information on the record, provide an opportunity for interested parties to comment, and then determine whether to rescind the review for these companies. Methodology Commerce is conducting this administrative review in accordance with section 751(a)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). For each of the subsidy programs preliminarily found to be countervailable, Commerce preliminarily finds that there is a subsidy, i.e., a financial contribution from an authority that gives rise to a benefit to the recipient, and that the subsidy is specific.6 For a full description of the methodology underlying our preliminary conclusions, including our reliance, in part, on facts available with adverse inferences pursuant to sections 776(a) and (b) of 5 See Trina’s Letter, ‘‘Notice of No Sales,’’ dated March 5, 2021. The Trina companies for which rescission of review was requested are: Changzhou Trina Solar Energy Co., Ltd., Changzhou Trina Solar Yabang Energy Co. Ltd., Hubei Trina Solar Energy Co. Ltd., Trina Solar Co., Ltd., Trina Solar (Changzhou) Science and Technology Co., Ltd., Turpan Trina Solar Energy Co., Ltd., and Yancheng Trina Solar Energy Technology Co., Ltd. 6 See sections 771(5)(B) and (D) of the Act regarding financial contribution; section 771(5)(E) of the Act regarding benefit; and section 771(5A) of the Act regarding specificity.
