International Trade Administration May 26, 2016 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

On March 30, 2016, the United States Court of International Trade (``the Court'') issued final judgments in Catfish Farmers of America et al. v. United States, Consol. Court No. 12-00087, sustaining the Department of Commerce's (``the Department'') AR7 Remand final results.\1\ In the AR7 Remand, the Department recalculated the weighted-average dumping margin for QVD Food Co. Ltd. (``QVD'') and Vinh Hoan Corporation (``Vinh Hoan'') using revised surrogate values for by-products (fish waste, fresh broken meat, and frozen broken fillets by-products, and capping the fish oil by-product surrogate value).\2\ Because QVD's margin changed, it also becomes the margin for those companies not individually examined but receiving a separate rate.\3\

Pursuant to section 751(b) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the Act''), 19 CFR 351.216, and 19 CFR 351.221(c)(3), the Department of Commerce (the ``Department'') is initiating, and issuing the preliminary results, of a changed circumstances review of the antidumping duty (``AD'') order on crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells, whether or not assembled into modules, (``solar cells'') from the People's Republic of China (``PRC'') regarding whether Hangzhou Sunny Energy Science and Technology Co., Ltd. (``Hangzhou Sunny'') is the successor-in-interest to Hangzhou Zhejiang University Sunny Energy Science and Technology Co., Ltd. (``Hangzhou ZU Sunny''). Based on the information on the record, we preliminarily determine that Hangzhou Sunny is the successor-in-interest to Hangzhou ZU Sunny and, as such, is entitled to Hangzhou ZU Sunny's AD cash deposit rate with respect to entries of subject merchandise. Interested parties are invited to comment on these preliminary results.
