E:\FR\FM\08SEN1.SGM 08SEN1 62050 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 173 / Friday, September 8, 2023 / Notices Analysis of Comments Received Changes Since the Preliminary Results We addressed all the issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs in the Issues and Decision Memorandum. A list of the issues that parties raised, and to which we responded in the Issues and Decision Memorandum, is provided in an appendix to this notice. The Issues and Decision Memorandum is a public document and is on file electronically via Enforcement and Compliance’s Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS). ACCESS is available to registered users at https:// access.trade.gov. In addition, a complete version of the Issues and Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly at https://access.trade.gov/public/ FRNoticesListLayout.aspx. Based on a review of the record and comments received from interested parties regarding the Preliminary Results, we corrected a conversion error pertaining the truck freight surrogate value applied to solar cells 4 and valued labor using data from the Republic of Turkey, rather than Malaysia.5 Final Determination of No Shipments In the Preliminary Results, Commerce determined that THB and THFT did not sell or export subject merchandise to, nor was their subject merchandise entered into, the United States during the POR.6 Interested parties did not comment on Commerce’s ‘‘no shipments’’ determination. Because we have no basis to reconsider this determination, Commerce has continued to determine that THB and THFT did not sell or export subject merchandise to, nor was their subject merchandise entered into, the United States during the POR. Separate Rates In the Preliminary Results, Commerce determined that Trina,7 the sole mandatory respondent under review, demonstrated its eligibility for a separate rate. Interested parties did not comment on Commerce’s separate rate determination. Because we have no basis to reconsider this determination, Commerce has continued to determine that Trina is eligible for a separate rate. Final Results of Review We are assigning the following weighted-average dumping margin to the firms listed below for the period February 1, 2021, through January 31, 2022: Weightedaverage dumping margin (percent) Exporter Trina Solar (Changzhou) Science & Technology Co., Ltd./Trina Solar Co., Ltd./Yancheng Trina Guoneng Photovoltaic Technology Co., Ltd. (a.k.a. Yancheng Trina Solar Guoneng Science & Technology Co., Ltd.)/Trina Solar Yiwu Technology Co., Ltd./Trina Solar (Su Qian) Technology Co., Ltd./Trina Solar (Yancheng Dafeng) Co., Ltd./Changzhou Trina Hezhong Photoelectric Co., Ltd. (a.k.a. Changzhou Trina Hezhong PV Co., Ltd.)/Changzhou Trina Solar Yabang Energy Co., Ltd./Turpan Trina Solar Energy Co., Ltd ............................................................................................................................................................. Assessment Rates Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b), Commerce will determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries of subject merchandise covered by the final results of this review. Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days after the date of publication date 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). Commerce will calculate importerspecific assessment rates for antidumping duties, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). Trina reported reliable entered values. Thus, Commerce intends to calculate importer-specific ad valorem assessment rates by aggregating the amount of dumping calculated for all U.S. sales to the importer and dividing this amount by the total entered value of the merchandise sold to the importer.8 Where an importer-specific ad valorem assessment rate is not zero or de minimis, Commerce will instruct CBP to collect the appropriate duties at the time of liquidation. However, where an importer specific ad valorem assessment rate is zero or de minimis, Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties. For entries that were not reported in the U.S. sales database submitted by Trina, but that were entered under its case number (i.e., at Trina’s cash deposit rate), Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate such entries at the China-wide entity rate (i.e., 152.84 percent).9 Additionally, for the companies that Commerce determined did not ship subject merchandise during the POR, any suspended entries under the 4 See Issues and Decision Memorandum at Comment 1. 5 Id. at Comment 5. 6 See Preliminary Results PDM at 5. 7 Trina refers to the single entity comprising the following companies: Trina Solar (Changzhou) Science & Technology Co., Ltd., Trina Solar Co., Ltd., Yancheng Trina Guoneng Photovoltaic Technology Co., Ltd. (a.k.a. Yancheng Trina Solar Guoneng Science & Technology Co., Ltd.), Trina Solar Yiwu Technology Co., Ltd., Trina Solar (Su Qian) Technology Co., Ltd., Trina Solar (Yancheng Dafeng) Co., Ltd., Changzhou Trina Hezhong Photoelectric Co., Ltd. (a.k.a. Changzhou Trina Hezhong PV Co., Ltd.), Changzhou Trina Solar Yabang Energy Co., Ltd., and Turpan Trina Solar Energy Co., Ltd. Commerce determined that these companies are affiliated within the meaning of 771(33)(F) of the Act, and should be treated as a single entity, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.401(f). See Preliminary Results PDM at 5–6; see also Memorandum, ‘‘Antidumping Duty Administrative Review of Certain Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaic Products from the People’s Republic of China: Preliminary Affiliation and Collapsing Memorandum,’’ dated February 28, 2023. Commerce received no comments regarding the determination of affiliation among these companies.

    Commerce will calculate importer-specific assessment rates for 
antidumping duties, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). Trina 
reported reliable entered values. Thus, Commerce intends to calculate 
importer-specific ad valorem assessment rates by aggregating the amount 
of dumping calculated for all U.S. sales to the importer and dividing 
this amount by the total entered value of the merchandise sold to the 
importer.\8\ Where an importer-specific ad valorem assessment rate is 
not zero or de minimis, Commerce will instruct CBP to collect the 
appropriate duties at the time of liquidation. However, where an 
importer specific ad valorem assessment rate is zero or de minimis, 
Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate appropriate entries without 
regard to antidumping duties.

    \8\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    For entries that were not reported in the U.S. sales database 
submitted by Trina, but that were entered under its case number (i.e., 
at Trina's cash deposit rate), Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate 
such entries at the China-wide entity rate (i.e., 152.84 percent).\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ See Order, 80 FR at 8595; see also instructions issued to 
CBP following publication of the Order, Message Number 5061301 
(listing the China-wide entity's cash deposit rate as 152.84 
percent), dated 03/02/2015, publicly available at https://aceservices.cbp.dhs.gov/adcvdweb/#.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Additionally, for the companies that Commerce determined did not 
ship subject merchandise during the POR, any suspended entries under 
the

company's case number will be liquidated at the China-wide entity rate.

Cash Deposit Requirements

    The following cash deposit requirements will be in effect for all 
shipments of subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 
for consumption on, or after, the date of publication of this notice in 
the Federal Register, as provided for by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the 
Act: (1) the cash deposit rate for Trina will be equal to the weighted-
average dumping margin that is listed for Trina in the table above; (2) 
for a previously investigated or reviewed exporter of subject 
merchandise that is not listed in the table above that has a separate 
rate, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the exporter's existing 
cash deposit rate; (3) for all China exporters of subject merchandise 
that do not have a separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be equal 
to the weighted-average dumping margin assigned to the China-wide 
entity, which is 152.84 percent; and (4) for a non-China exporter of 
subject merchandise that does not have a separate rate, the cash 
deposit rate will be equal to the weighted-average dumping margin 
applicable to the China exporter(s) that supplied that non-China 
exporter.
    These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in 
effect until further notice.

Notification to Importers Regarding the Reimbursement of Duties

    This notice also 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 and/or countervailing duties 
prior to liquidation of the relevant entries during the POR. Failure to 
comply with this requirement could result in Commerce's presumption 
that reimbursement of antidumping and/or countervailing duties occurred 
and the subsequent assessment of double antidumping duties and/or 
antidumping duties increased by the amount of the countervailing 
duties.

Administrative Protective Order (APO)

    This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to APO of 
their responsibility concerning the return or destruction of 
proprietary information disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 
351.305, which continues to govern business proprietary information in 
this segment of the proceeding. Timely written notification of the 
return or destruction 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 violation which is subject to 
sanction.

Notification to Interested Parties

    We are issuing these final results of administrative review and 
publishing this notice in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) 
of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2) and 351.221(b)(5).

    Dated: September 1, 2023.
Lisa W. Wang,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
