SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On July 5, 2024, Commerce published in the Federal Register notice 
of the final results of the 2021-2022 administrative review of the AD 
order on solar cells from China.\1\ In that notice, Commerce 
incorrectly identified the companies which it found were not entitled 
to a separate rate. Commerce preliminarily found that only four 
companies did not qualify for a separate rate.\2\ Commerce did not 
change that determination in the final results of the review. Yet, in 
the final results of review Federal Register notice, Commerce 
inadvertently stated that: {i{time} n the Preliminary Results, Commerce 
found that 35 companies for which a review was initiated did not 
establish their eligibility for a separate rate. No parties contested 
this finding (see discussion regarding the Yingli single entity below). 
As such, we continue to determine these 35 companies identified in 
Appendix III are part of the China-wide entity.\3\

Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
    \3\ See Final Results, 89 FR at 55563.

    In the Preliminary Results, Commerce did not determine that the 31 
companies that it incorrectly added to Appendix III

of the Final Results are ineligible for a separate rate. Rather, in the 
Preliminary Results, Commerce determined that the 31 companies did not 
have suspended entries of subject merchandise during the period of 
review (POR).\4\ Commerce did not change its preliminary decision with 
respect to these 31 companies in the final results of review. 
Therefore, the following corrections are required.
