SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background This preliminary determination is made in accordance with section 703(b) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). Commerce published the notice of initiation of this investigation on May 20, 2024.1 On July 3, 2024, Commerce postponed the preliminary determination of this investigation.2 On 1 See Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaic Cells, Whether or Not Assembled Into Modules, from Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand, and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam: Initiation of Countervailing Duty Investigations, 89 FR 43816 (May 20, 2024) (Initiation Notice). 2 See Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaic Cells, Whether or Not Assembled Into Modules, from Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand, and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam: Postponement of Preliminary E:\FR\FM\04OCN1.SGM Continued 04OCN1 80878 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 193 / Friday, October 4, 2024 / Notices July 22, 2024, Commerce tolled certain deadlines in this administrative proceeding by seven days.3 The deadline for this preliminary determination is now September 30, 2024.4 For a complete description of the events that followed the initiation of this investigation, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.5 A list of topics discussed in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum is included as Appendix II 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 Service 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 Investigation The products covered by this investigation are solar cells from Cambodia. For a complete description of the scope of this investigation, see Appendix I. Scope Comments khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES In accordance with the Preamble to Commerce’s regulations,6 the Initiation Notice set aside a period of time for parties to raise issues regarding product coverage, (i.e., scope).7 We received several comments concerning the scope of this investigation, as well as in the companion less-than-fair-value (LTFV) and countervailing duty (CVD) investigations of solar cells, as it appeared in the Initiation Notice. We are currently evaluating scope Determinations in the Countervailing Duty Investigations, 89 FR 55231 (July 3, 2024). 3 See Memorandum, ‘‘Tolling of Deadlines for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Proceedings,’’ dated July 22, 2024. 4 Tolling the deadline for the preliminary determination by seven days would place it on Saturday, September 28, 2024. It is Commerce’s practice that where a deadline falls on a weekend or federal holiday, the appropriate deadline is the next business day. See Notice of Clarification: Application of ‘‘Next Business Day’’ Rule for Administrative Determination Deadlines Pursuant to the Tariff Act of 1930, As Amended, 70 FR 24533 (May 10, 2005). 5 See Memorandum, ‘‘Decision Memorandum for the Preliminary Determination of the Countervailing Duty Investigation of Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaic Cells, Whether or Not Assembled Into Modules, from the Kingdom of Cambodia,’’ dated concurrently with, and hereby adopted by, this notice (Preliminary Decision Memorandum). 6 See Antidumping Duties; Countervailing Duties, Final Rule, 62 FR 27296, 27323 (May 19, 1997). 7 See Initiation Notice. VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:26 Oct 03, 2024 Jkt 265001 comments filed by interested parties. We intend to issue our preliminary decision regarding the scope of the LTFV and CVD investigations in the preliminary determinations of the companion LTFV investigations, the deadline for which is November 27, 2024.8 We will incorporate the scope decisions from the LTFV investigation into the scope of the final CVD determination for this investigation after considering any relevant comments submitted in scope case and rebuttal briefs.9 Methodology Commerce is conducting this investigation in accordance with section 701 of the Act. For each of the subsidy programs found countervailable, Commerce preliminarily determines that there is a subsidy, i.e., a financial contribution by an ‘‘authority’’ that gives rise to a benefit to the recipient, and that the subsidy is specific.10 For a full description of the methodology underlying our preliminary determination, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. In making these findings, Commerce relied, in part, on facts available and, because it finds that one or more respondents did not act to the best of their ability to respond to Commerce’s requests for information, it drew an adverse inference where appropriate in selecting from among the facts otherwise available.11 For further information, see the ‘‘Use of Facts Otherwise Available and Adverse Inferences’’ section in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. Alignment In accordance with section 705(a)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.210(b)(4), Commerce is aligning the final CVD determination in this investigation with the final determination in the companion LTFV investigation of solar cells from Cambodia based on a request made by the petitioner.12 Consequently, 8 See Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaic Cells, Whether or Not Assembled Into Modules, from Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand, and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam: Postponement of Preliminary Determinations in the Less-Than Fair-Value Investigations, 89 FR 77473 (September 23, 2024) (LTFV Preliminary Postponement). 9 The deadline for interested parties to submit scope case and rebuttal briefs will be established in the preliminary scope decision memorandum. 10 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. 11 See sections 776(a) and (b) of the Act. 12 See Petitioner’s Letter, ‘‘Request to Align Countervailing Duty Investigation Final Determinations with Antidumping Duty Investigation Final Determinations,’’ dated September 23, 2024. PO 00000 Frm 00024 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 the final CVD determination will be issued on the same date as the final LTFV determination, which is currently scheduled to be issued no later than February 10, 2025.13 All-Others Rate Sections 703(d) and 705(c)(5)(A) of the Act provide that in the preliminary determination, Commerce shall determine an estimated all-others rate for companies not individually examined. This rate shall be an amount equal to the weighted average of the estimated subsidy rates established for those companies individually examined, excluding any zero and de minimis rates and any rates based entirely under section 776 of the Act. In this investigation, Commerce preliminarily assigned a rate based entirely on facts available with an adverse inference to Jintek Photovoltaic Technology Co., Ltd (Jintek). Therefore, the only rate that is not zero, de minimis or based entirely on facts otherwise available is the rate calculated for Solarspace New Energy (Cambodia) Co., Ltd. (Solarspace). Consequently, the rate calculated for Solarspace is also assigned as the rate for all other producers and exporters. Rate for Non-Responsive Company One exporter and/or producer of solar cells from Cambodia, ISC Cambodia, did not respond to Commerce’s quantity and value (Q&V) questionnaire. We find that, by not responding to the Q&V questionnaire, this company withheld requested information and significantly impeded this proceeding. Thus, in reaching our preliminary determination, pursuant sections 776(a)(2)(A) and (C) of the Act, we are basing the CVD subsidy rate for ISC Cambodia on facts otherwise available. Further, we preliminarily determine that an adverse inference is warranted, pursuant to section 776(b) of the Act. By failing to submit responses to Commerce’s Q&V questionnaire, ISC Cambodia did not cooperate to the best of their ability in this investigation. Accordingly, we preliminarily find that an adverse inference is warranted to ensure that ISC Cambodia will not obtain a more favorable result than had they fully complied with our request for information. For more information on the application of adverse facts available, see ‘‘Use of Facts Otherwise Available and Adverse Inferences’’ in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. 13 See E:\FR\FM\04OCN1.SGM LTFV Preliminary Postponement. 04OCN1 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 193 / Friday, October 4, 2024 / Notices decision regarding the scope of the CVD and LTFV investigations.

Scope of the Investigation

    The products covered by this investigation are solar cells from 
Cambodia. For a complete description of the scope of this 
investigation, see Appendix I.

Scope Comments

    In accordance with the Preamble to Commerce's regulations,\6\ the 
Initiation Notice set aside a period of time for parties to raise 
issues regarding product coverage, (i.e., scope).\7\ We received 
several comments concerning the scope of this investigation, as well as 
in the companion less-than-fair-value (LTFV) and countervailing duty 
(CVD) investigations of solar cells, as it appeared in the Initiation 
Notice. We are currently evaluating scope comments filed by interested 
parties. We intend to issue our preliminary decision regarding the 
scope of the LTFV and CVD investigations in the preliminary 
determinations of the companion LTFV investigations, the deadline for 
which is November 27, 2024.\8\ We will incorporate the scope decisions 
from the LTFV investigation into the scope of the final CVD 
determination for this investigation after considering any relevant 
comments submitted in scope case and rebuttal briefs.\9\

    \9\ The deadline for interested parties to submit scope case and 
rebuttal briefs will be established in the preliminary scope 
decision memorandum.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Methodology

    Commerce is conducting this investigation in accordance with 
section 701 of the Act. For each of the subsidy programs found 
countervailable, Commerce preliminarily determines that there is a 
subsidy, i.e., a financial contribution by an ``authority'' that gives 
rise to a benefit to the recipient, and that the subsidy is 
specific.\10\ For a full description of the methodology underlying our 
preliminary determination, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In making these findings, Commerce relied, in part, on facts 
available and, because it finds that one or more respondents did not 
act to the best of their ability to respond to Commerce's requests for 
information, it drew an adverse inference where appropriate in 
selecting from among the facts otherwise available.\11\ For further 
information, see the ``Use of Facts Otherwise Available and Adverse 
Inferences'' section in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ See sections 776(a) and (b) of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Alignment

    In accordance with section 705(a)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.210(b)(4), Commerce is aligning the final CVD determination in this 
investigation with the final determination in the companion LTFV 
investigation of solar cells from Cambodia based on a request made by 
the petitioner.\12\ Consequently, the final CVD determination will be 
issued on the same date as the final LTFV determination, which is 
currently scheduled to be issued no later than February 10, 2025.\13\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ See Petitioner's Letter, ``Request to Align Countervailing 
Duty Investigation Final Determinations with Antidumping Duty 
Investigation Final Determinations,'' dated September 23, 2024.
    \13\ See LTFV Preliminary Postponement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

All-Others Rate

    Sections 703(d) and 705(c)(5)(A) of the Act provide that in the 
preliminary determination, Commerce shall determine an estimated all-
others rate for companies not individually examined. This rate shall be 
an amount equal to the weighted average of the estimated subsidy rates 
established for those companies individually examined, excluding any 
zero and de minimis rates and any rates based entirely under section 
776 of the Act.
    In this investigation, Commerce preliminarily assigned a rate based 
entirely on facts available with an adverse inference to Jintek 
Photovoltaic Technology Co., Ltd (Jintek). Therefore, the only rate 
that is not zero, de minimis or based entirely on facts otherwise 
available is the rate calculated for Solarspace New Energy (Cambodia) 
Co., Ltd. (Solarspace). Consequently, the rate calculated for 
Solarspace is also assigned as the rate for all other producers and 
exporters.

Rate for Non-Responsive Company

    One exporter and/or producer of solar cells from Cambodia, ISC 
Cambodia, did not respond to Commerce's quantity and value (Q&V) 
questionnaire. We find that, by not responding to the Q&V 
questionnaire, this company withheld requested information and 
significantly impeded this proceeding. Thus, in reaching our 
preliminary determination, pursuant sections 776(a)(2)(A) and (C) of 
the Act, we are basing the CVD subsidy rate for ISC Cambodia on facts 
otherwise available.
    Further, we preliminarily determine that an adverse inference is 
warranted, pursuant to section 776(b) of the Act. By failing to submit 
responses to Commerce's Q&V questionnaire, ISC Cambodia did not 
cooperate to the best of their ability in this investigation. 
Accordingly, we preliminarily find that an adverse inference is 
warranted to ensure that ISC Cambodia will not obtain a more favorable 
result than had they fully complied with our request for information. 
For more information on the application of adverse facts available, see 
``Use of Facts Otherwise Available and Adverse Inferences'' in the 
Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
