Final Results of Review
[FR Doc. 2024–31484 Filed 12–31–24; 8:45 am]
Unless otherwise extended,
Commerce intends to issue the final
results of this administrative review,
which will include the results of its
analysis of issues raised in case and
rebuttal briefs, within 120 days of these
preliminary results of review in the
Federal Register, pursuant to section
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.
Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a preliminary
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 these PORs.
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 an increase in the amount
of antidumping duties by the amount of
the countervailing duties.
Notification to Interested Parties
Commerce is issuing and publishing
the preliminary results of this review in
accordance with sections 751(a)(1)(B),
751(a)(3), and 777(i) of the Act, and 19
CFR 351.213(d)(4) and 351.221(b)(4).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On November 18, 2024, the U.S.
Department of Commerce (Commerce)
initiated countervailing duty (CVD)
investigations of U.S. imports of
overhead door counterbalance torsion
springs (overhead door springs) from
India and China.1 Currently, the
preliminary determinations are due no
later than January 22, 2025.
Postponement of Preliminary
Determinations
Section 703(b)(1) of the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended (the Act), requires
Commerce to issue the preliminary
determination in a countervailing duty
investigation within 65 days after the
date on which Commerce initiated the
investigation. However, section
1 See Overhead Door Counterbalance Torsion
Springs from the People’s Republic of China and
India: Initiation of Countervailing Duty
Investigations, 89 FR 92901 (November 25, 2024).
PO 00000
Frm 00015
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
703(c)(1) of the Act permits Commerce
to postpone the preliminary
determination until not later than 130
days after the date on which Commerce
initiated the investigation if: (A) the
petitioner makes a timely request for a
postponement; or (B) Commerce
concludes that the parties concerned are
cooperating, the investigation is
extraordinarily complicated, and
additional time is necessary to make a
preliminary determination. Under 19
CFR 351.205(e), the petitioner must
submit a request for postponement 25
days or more before the scheduled date
of the preliminary determination and
must state the reasons for the request.
Commerce will grant the request unless
it finds compelling reasons to deny the
request.
On December 20, 2024, the
petitioners 2 submitted timely requests
that Commerce postpone the
preliminary determinations in the CVD
investigations of overhead door springs
from India and China.3 The petitioners
requested postponements to provide
Commerce with additional time to
review and analyze questionnaire
responses and accurately determine
countervailable subsidy rates.4
In accordance with 19 CFR
351.205(e), the petitioners have stated
the reasons for requesting a
postponement of the preliminary
determinations, and Commerce finds no
compelling reason to deny the requests.
Therefore, in accordance with section
703(c)(1)(A) of the Act, Commerce is
postponing the deadline for the
preliminary determinations in these
investigations until not later than 130
days after the date on which Commerce
initiated these investigations, i.e., March
28, 2025. Pursuant to section 705(a)(1)
of the Act and 19 CFR 351.210(b)(1), the
deadline for the final determinations in
these investigations will continue to be
75 days after the date of the preliminary
determinations.
This notice is issued and published
pursuant to section 703(c)(2) of the Act
and 19 CFR 351.205(f)(1).
2 The petitioners in these investigations are IDC
Group, Inc., Iowa Spring Manufacturing, Inc., and
Service Spring Corp. (the petitioners).

Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaic Cells,
Whether or Not Assembled Into
Modules, From the Socialist Republic
of Vietnam: Amended Preliminary
Determination of Less-Than-Fair-Value
Investigation
Enforcement and Compliance,
International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of
Commerce (Commerce) is amending its
preliminary affirmative determination
in the less-than-fair-value (LTFV)
investigation of crystalline silicon
photovoltaic cells, whether or not
assembled into modules (solar cells)
from the Socialist Republic of Vietnam
(Vietnam) to correct for a significant
ministerial error. The period of
investigation (POI) is October 1, 2023,
through March 31, 2024.
DATES: Applicable January 2, 2025.

(202) 482–4243 or (202) 482–4521,
respectively.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On December 4, 2024, Commerce
published in the Federal Register its
preliminary affirmative determination
in the LTFV investigation of solar cells
from Vietnam.1 On December 9, 2024,
the American Alliance for Solar
Manufacturing Trade Committee, a
coalition of domestic producers of solar
cells and modules (collectively, the
petitioner), timely alleged that
Commerce made a significant
ministerial error in calculating Jinko
Solar (Vietnam) Industries Co., Ltd.’s
(Jinko) estimated weighted-average
dumping margin.2
Scope of the Investigation
The products covered by this
investigation are solar cells from
Vietnam. For a complete description of
the scope of this investigation, see the
Preliminary Determination.
Legal Framework
A ministerial error is defined as
including ‘‘errors in addition,
subtraction, or other arithmetic
function, clerical error resulting from
inaccurate copying, duplication, or the
like, and any other similar type of
unintentional error which {Commerce}
considers ministerial.’’ 3 A ministerial
error is considered to be ‘‘significant’’ if
its correction, either singly or in
combination with other errors, would
result in: (1) a change of at least five
absolute percentage points in, but not
less than 25 percent of, the weightedaverage dumping margin calculated in
the preliminary determination; or (2) a
difference between a weighted-average
dumping margin of zero (or de minimis)
and a weighted-average dumping
margin of greater than de minimis or
vice versa.4 Pursuant to 19 CFR
351.224(e), Commerce ‘‘will analyze any
comments received and, if appropriate,
correct any significant ministerial error
by amending the preliminary
determination.’’
Analysis of Significant Ministerial
Error
In the Preliminary Determination,
Commerce made a significant
ministerial error within the meaning of
section 735(e) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.224(f) and (g)(1) in calculating the
estimated weighted-average dumping
margin for Jinko. Accordingly, pursuant
to 19 CFR 351.224(e), Commerce is
amending its Preliminary Determination
to correct for this significant ministerial
error by revising the weighted-average
dumping margins for Jinko and the nonindividually examined separate rate
companies. For a detailed discussion of
the alleged ministerial error, as well as
Commerce’s analysis, see the Ministerial
Error Memorandum.5
Amended Preliminary Determination
As a result of correcting the
significant ministerial error, Commerce
determines the following estimated
weighted-average dumping margins
exist:
Estimated
weighted-average
dumping margin
(percent)
Cash deposit rate
(adjusted for
subsidy offsets)
(percent)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On November 18, 2024, the U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce)
initiated countervailing duty (CVD) investigations of U.S. imports of
overhead door counterbalance torsion springs (overhead door springs)
from India and China.\1\ Currently, the preliminary determinations are

People's Republic of China and India: Initiation of Countervailing
Duty Investigations, 89 FR 92901 (November 25, 2024).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Postponement of Preliminary Determinations
Section 703(b)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act),
requires Commerce to issue the preliminary determination in a
countervailing duty investigation within 65 days after the date on
which Commerce initiated the investigation. However, section 703(c)(1)
of the Act permits Commerce to postpone the preliminary determination
until not later than 130 days after the date on which Commerce
initiated the investigation if: (A) the petitioner makes a timely
request for a postponement; or (B) Commerce concludes that the parties
concerned are cooperating, the investigation is extraordinarily
complicated, and additional time is necessary to make a preliminary
determination. Under 19 CFR 351.205(e), the petitioner must submit a
request for postponement 25 days or more before the scheduled date of
the preliminary determination and must state the reasons for the
request. Commerce will grant the request unless it finds compelling
reasons to deny the request.
On December 20, 2024, the petitioners \2\ submitted timely requests
that Commerce postpone the preliminary determinations in the CVD
investigations of overhead door springs from India and China.\3\ The
petitioners requested postponements to provide Commerce with additional
time to review and analyze questionnaire responses and accurately

Determination,'' dated December 20, 2024.
\4\ Id. at 2.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In accordance with 19 CFR 351.205(e), the petitioners have stated
the reasons for requesting a postponement of the preliminary
determinations, and Commerce finds no compelling reason to deny the
requests. Therefore, in accordance with section 703(c)(1)(A) of the
Act, Commerce is postponing the deadline for the preliminary
determinations in these investigations until not later than 130 days
after the date on which Commerce initiated these investigations, i.e.,
March 28, 2025. Pursuant to section 705(a)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.210(b)(1), the deadline for the final determinations in these
investigations will continue to be 75 days after the date of the
preliminary determinations.
