SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background.—On December 7, 2012,
the Department of Commerce
(‘‘Commerce’’) issued antidumping and
ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1
SUMMARY:
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:12 Jan 31, 2024
Jkt 262001
countervailing duty orders on imports of
crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells and
modules from China (77 FR 73017–
73021). Following the first five-year
reviews by Commerce and the
Commission, effective March 20, 2019,
Commerce issued a continuation of the
antidumping and countervailing duty
orders on imports of crystalline silicon
photovoltaic cells and modules from
China (84 FR 10299–10301). The
Commission is now conducting second
reviews pursuant to section 751(c) of the
Act, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1675(c)), to
determine whether revocation of the
orders would be likely to lead to
continuation or recurrence of material
injury to the domestic industry within
a reasonably foreseeable time.
Provisions concerning the conduct of
this proceeding may be found in the
Commission’s Rules of Practice and
Procedure at 19 CFR part 201, subparts
A and B, and 19 CFR part 207, subparts
A and F. The Commission will assess
the adequacy of interested party
responses to this notice of institution to
determine whether to conduct full or
expedited reviews. The Commission’s
determinations in any expedited
reviews will be based on the facts
available, which may include
information provided in response to this
notice.
Definitions.—The following
definitions apply to these reviews:
(1) Subject Merchandise is the class or
kind of merchandise that is within the
scope of the five-year reviews, as
defined by Commerce.
(2) The Subject Country in these
reviews is China.
(3) The Domestic Like Product is the
domestically produced product or
products which are like, or in the
absence of like, most similar in
characteristics and uses with, the
Subject Merchandise. In its original
determinations and first five-year
review determinations, the Commission
defined a single Domestic Like Product,
crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells and
modules, corresponding to Commerce’s
scope.
(4) The Domestic Industry is the U.S.
producers as a whole of the Domestic
Like Product, or those producers whose
collective output of the Domestic Like
Product constitutes a major proportion
of the total domestic production of the
product. In its original determinations
and its first five-year review
determinations, the Commission
defined a single Domestic Industry as all
producers of crystalline silicon
photovoltaic cells and modules. One
firm was excluded from the Domestic
Industry under the related parties
provision in the original determinations.

Sfmt 4703
(5) An Importer is any person or firm
engaged, either directly or through a
parent company or subsidiary, in
importing the Subject Merchandise into
the United States from a foreign
manufacturer or through its selling
agent.
Participation in the proceeding and
public service list.—Persons, including
industrial users of the Subject
Merchandise and, if the merchandise is
sold at the retail level, representative
consumer organizations, wishing to
participate in the proceeding as parties
must file an entry of appearance with
the Secretary to the Commission, as
provided in § 201.11(b)(4) of the
Commission’s rules, no later than 21
days after publication of this notice in
the Federal Register. The Secretary will
maintain a public service list containing
the names and addresses of all persons,
or their representatives, who are parties
to the proceeding.
Former Commission employees who
are seeking to appear in Commission
five-year reviews are advised that they
may appear in a review even if they
participated personally and
substantially in the corresponding
underlying original investigation or an
earlier review of the same underlying
investigation. The Commission’s
designated agency ethics official has
advised that a five-year review is not the
same particular matter as the underlying
original investigation, and a five-year
review is not the same particular matter
as an earlier review of the same
underlying investigation for purposes of
18 U.S.C. 207, the post-employment
statute for Federal employees, and
Commission rule 201.15(b) (19 CFR
201.15(b)), 79 FR 3246 (Jan. 17, 2014),
73 FR 24609 (May 5, 2008).
Consequently, former employees are not
required to seek Commission approval
to appear in a review under Commission
rule 19 CFR 201.15, even if the
corresponding underlying original
investigation or an earlier review of the
same underlying investigation was
pending when they were Commission
employees. For further ethics advice on
this matter, contact Charles Smith,
Office of the General Counsel, at 202–
205–3408.
Limited disclosure of business
proprietary information (BPI) under an
administrative protective order (APO)
and APO service list.—Pursuant to
§ 207.7(a) of the Commission’s rules, the
Secretary will make BPI submitted in
this proceeding available to authorized
applicants under the APO issued in the
proceeding, provided that the
application is made no later than 21
days after publication of this notice in
the Federal Register. Authorized
