Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised by interested parties
in their case and rebuttal briefs are
addressed in the Issues and Decision
Memorandum. A list of topics discussed
in the Issues and Decision
Memorandum is provided as 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://

Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on our analysis of comments
submitted by interested parties and the
evidence on the record, Commerce
revised the calculation for the net
countervailable subsidy rates for the
sole company respondent in this review,
Trina Solar (Changzhou) Science &
Technology Co., Ltd. (Trina Solar). For
a discussion of the issues, see the Issues
and Decision Memorandum.
Methodology
Commerce conducted 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 found to
be countervailable, we find that there is
a subsidy, i.e., a government-provided
financial contribution that gives rise to
a benefit to the recipient, and that the
subsidy is specific.4 For a complete
description of the methodology
underlying all of Commerce’s
conclusions, including our reliance, in
part, on facts otherwise available,
including adverse facts available,
pursuant to sections 776(a) and (b) of
the Act, see the Issues and Decision
Memorandum.
4 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.
