SUMMARY: On January 8, 2015, the Department of Commerce (the ``Department'') published its Preliminary Results in the 2012-2013 administrative review of the antidumping duty order on crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells, whether or not assembled into modules (``solar cells'') from the People's Republic of China (``PRC'').\1\ The period of review (``POR'') is May 25, 2012, through November 30, 2013. This administrative review covers two mandatory respondents, Yingli Energy (China) Company Limited and Wuxi Suntech Power Co., Ltd. (``Wuxi Suntech''), which was found to be ineligible for a separate rate in the Preliminary Results. Based on our analysis of the comments received, we made certain changes to our margin calculations for Yingli Energy (China) Company Limited. Additionally, we now find that Wuxi Suntech is eligible for a separate rate, and have calculated a dumping margin for Wuxi Suntech. The final dumping margins for this review are listed in the ``Final Results'' section below. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \1\ See Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaic Cells, Whether or Not Assembled Into Modules, From the People's Republic of China: Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review and Preliminary Determination of No Shipments; 2012-2013, 80 FR 1021 (January 8, 2015) (``Preliminary Results''), and Memorandum to Paul Piquado, Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance, from Gary Taverman, Associate Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Operations, ``Decision Memorandum for the Preliminary Results of the 2012-2013 Antidumping Duty Administrative Review of Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaic Cells, Whether or Not Assembled into Modules, from the People's Republic of China'' (``Preliminary Decision Memorandum''), dated December 31, 2014. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- DATES: Effective date: July 14, 2015.

Revised certain material offsets. Revised the indirect selling expense ratio. Corrected ministerial errors. Revised the partial AFA calculation. Other Changes Corrections to list of separate rate companies and no shipment companies. Final Determination of No Shipments In the Preliminary Results, we found that 23 companies subject to this administrative review did not have reviewable transactions during the POR.\21\ We did not receive any comments concerning our finding of no shipments by these 23 companies. For these final results, the Department [[Page 41000]] continues to find that 23 companies that claimed no shipments during the POR did not have any reviewable transactions of subject merchandise during the POR.\22\ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \21\ See Preliminary Results and accompanying Preliminary Decision Memorandum at 5-6. We also preliminarily treated two companies which reported making no shipments during the POR, Luoyang Suntech and Shanghai Suntech, as part of the Wuxi Suntech Single Entity. \22\ Those 23 companies with no shipments during the POR are: (1) DelSolar Co., Ltd.; (2) Dongfang Electric (Yixing) MAGI Solar Power Technology Co., Ltd.; (3) ET Solar Energy Limited; (4) Hengdian Group DMEGC Magnetics Co., Ltd.; (5) Himin Clean Energy Holdings Co., Ltd.; (6) Jiangsu Green Power PV Co., Ltd.; (7) Jiangsu Jiasheng Photovoltaic Technology Co., Ltd.; (8) JinkoSolar International Limited; (9) Konca Solar Cell Co., Ltd.; (10) Kuttler Automation Systems (Suzhou) Co., Ltd.; (11) Motech (Suzhou) Renewable Energy Co., Ltd.; (12) Ningbo Ulica Solar Science & Technology Co., Ltd.; (13) Perlight Solar Co., Ltd.; (14) Shenzhen Suntech Power Co., Ltd.; (15) ShunFeng PV; (16) Sumec Hardware & Tools Co., Ltd.; (17) Tianwei New Energy (Chengdu) PV Module Co., Ltd.; (18) Upsolar Group Co., Ltd.; (19) Wanxiang Import & Export Co., Ltd.; (20) Yangzhou Rietech Renewal Energy Co., Ltd.; (21) Yangzhou Suntech Power Co., Ltd.; (22) Zhejiang Jiutai New Energy Co., Ltd.; (23) Zhenjiang Rietech New Energy Science & Technology Co., Ltd. As noted above, the Department has treated Luoyang Suntech, which reported making no shipments during the POR, as part of the Wuxi Luoyang Single Entity. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- In the Preliminary Results, we found that two companies, CSG PVTech Co., Ltd. and Jiangsu Sunlink PV Technology Co., Ltd., that claimed no exports, sales or entries of subject merchandise during the POR did, in fact, sell subject merchandise to the United States during the POR.\23\ Interested parties commented on the Department's preliminary finding with respect to these two companies.\24\ After considering these comments, the Department continues to find that these companies sold or made entries of subject merchandise to the United States during the POR. Neither of these companies filed a separate rate application or certification and thus they have not established their entitlement to a separate rate in this review. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \23\ See Preliminary Results and accompanying Preliminary Decision Memorandum at 5-6. \24\ See Issues and Decision Memorandum at comment entitled, ``Treatment of Jiangsu Sunlink PV Technology Co., Ltd.'' and comment entitled, ``Treatment of CSG PVTech Co., Ltd.'' --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Affiliation and Single Entity Determination For these final results of review, the Department finds, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.401(f), that Wuxi Suntech and Luoyang Suntech comprise a single entity (i.e., the Wuxi Luoyang Single Entity), which does not include Shanghai Suntech or Wuxi Sunshine.\25\ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \25\ See Issues and Decision Memorandum at the comment entitled, ``The Department's Separate Rates Practice,'' and the comment entitled, ``Separate Rate Status of the Wuxi Suntech Collapsed Entity.'' See also Memorandum to Robert Bolling, Acting Director, AD/CVD Operations, Office IV, through Howard Smith, Program Manager, AD/CVD Operations, IV, ``Affiliation and Single Entity Status of Wuxi Suntech Power Co., Ltd. and Luoyang Suntech Power Co., Ltd., Final Results of Review,'' dated concurrently with this notice. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Additionally, the Department continues to find, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.401(f), that the following affiliated companies should be treated as a single entity: (1) Yingli Energy (China) Company Limited; (2) Baoding Tianwei Yingli; (3) Tianjin Yingli; (4) Hengshui Yingli; (5) Lixian Yingli; (6) Jiasheng; (7) Beijing Tianneng; and (8) Hainan Yingli.\26\ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \26\ See Memorandum to Abdelali Elouaradia, Director, AD/CVD Operations, Office IV, through Howard Smith, Program Manager, AD/CVD Operations, Office IV, ``Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaic Cells, Whether or Not Assembled Into Modules, from the People's Republic of China: Affiliation and Single Entity Status,'' dated December 31, 2014. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Verification As provided in section 782(i) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the ``Act''), the Department verified separate rate information provided by the Wuxi Suntech Single Entity.\27\ The Department conducted the verification using standard verification procedures including the examination of relevant records and the selection and review of original documentation containing relevant information. The results of the verification are outlined in the public version of the verification reports. The verification reports are on file electronically via ACCESS. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \27\ See Memorandum to the File through Howard Smith, Program Manager, AD/CVD Operations, Office IV, Verification of the Separate Rates Questionnaire Responses of Wuxi Suntech Power Co., Ltd., dated April 28, 2015; Memorandum to the File through Howard Smith, Program Manager, AD/CVD Operations, Office IV, Verification of the Separate Rates Questionnaire Responses of Suntech Power Co., Ltd., dated April 28, 2015; and Memorandum to the File through Howard Smith, Program Manager, AD/CVD Operations, Office IV, Verification of the Separate Rates Questionnaire Responses of Wuxi Sunshine Power Co., Ltd., dated April 28, 2015. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Use of Partial Facts Available and Adverse Facts Available Section 776(a) of the Act provides that the Department shall apply facts available (``FA'') if (1) necessary information is not on the record, or (2) an interested party or any other person (A) withholds information that has been requested, (B) fails to provide information within the deadlines established, or in the form and manner requested by the Department, subject to subsections (c)(1) and (e) of section 782 of the Act, (C) significantly impedes a proceeding, or (D) provides information that cannot be verified as provided by section 782(i) of the Act. Section 776(b) of the Act further provides that the Department may use adverse facts available (``AFA'') when a party has failed to cooperate by not acting to the best of its ability to comply with a request for information. Pursuant to sections 776(a) and (b) of the Act, in the Preliminary Determination, the Department applied partial adverse facts available (``AFA'') to a portion of Yingli Energy (China) Company Limited's sales. After considering comments submitted by interested parties, the Department continues to find that the application of partial AFA is warranted, however, the Department has revised the methodology used to apply partial AFA to a portion of Yingli Energy (China) Company Limited's sales for these final results of review.\28\ Further, the Department continues to find that the application of FA to account for Yingli (China) Company Limited's unreported factors of production (``FOP'') data is warranted.\29\ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \28\ See Issues and Decision Memorandum at Comment 9. \29\ See Preliminary Determination. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wuxi Suntech did not report certain FOP data from certain suppliers or tollers. Based on the specific facts on the record of this review and in accordance with section 776(a)(1) of the Act, the Department is applying FA with respect to these unreported FOP data.\30\ Due to the proprietary nature of the factual information concerning these FOP data, we explain the decision to use FA with respect to these FOP data in a separate business proprietary memorandum.\31\ As FA, we used FOP data that Wuxi Suntech was able to obtain from certain tollers or its own FOP information. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \30\ See Issues and Decision Memorandum at Comment 9. \31\ See Memorandum through Howard Smith, Program Manager, AD/ CVD Operations, Office IV, to Robert Bolling, Acting Director, AD/ CVD Operations, Office IV, ``Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaic Cells, Whether or Not Assembled Into Modules, from the People's Republic of China: Unreported Factors of Production,'' dated concurrently with this notice. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Separate Rates In the Preliminary Results, the Department listed 20 companies not selected as mandatory respondents as having demonstrated their eligibility for separate rates.\32\ Since the Preliminary Results, the Department has not received any comments that would warrant a review of our preliminary results regarding 19 of these companies. Therefore we continue to find that these companies are eligible for a separate rate.\33\ Regarding LDK Solar Hi-tech [[Page 41001]] (Nanchang) Co., Ltd., in the Preliminary Results, the Department inadvertently listed this company as a company that was granted a separate rate. Because the review of LDK Solar Hi-tech (Nanchang) Co., Ltd. was rescinded in July 2014, that company is not subject to this review and thus no determination was made in this review with respect to its separate rate status.\34\ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \32\ See Preliminary Decision Memorandum at 13. \33\ The Department finds that the following 19 non-selected companies demonstrated their eligibility for separate rates: (1) Canadian Solar International Limited; (2) Canadian Solar Manufacturing (Changshu) Inc.; (3) Canadian Solar Manufacturing (Luoyang) Inc.; (4) Changzhou Trina Solar Energy Co., Ltd./Trina Solar (Changzhou) Science and Technology Co., Ltd.; (5) Chint Solar (Zhejiang) Co., Ltd.; (6) De-Tech Trading Limited HK; (7) Eoplly New Energy Technology Co., Ltd.; (8) Hangzhou Zhejiang University Sunny Energy Science and Technology Co., Ltd.; (9) Jinko Solar Import and Export Co., Ltd.; (10) Ningbo Qixin Solar Electrical Appliance Co., Ltd.; (11) Renesola Jiangsu Ltd.; (12) Shanghai BYD Co., Ltd.; (13) Shenzhen Topray Solar Co. Ltd.; (14) Sopray Energy Co., Ltd.; (15) Star Power International Limited; (16) Sun Earth Solar Power Co., Ltd.; (17) Yingli Green Energy Holding Company Limited; (18) Yingli Green Energy International Trading Company Limited; and (19) Zhejiang Sunflower Light Energy Science & Technology Limited Liability Company. \34\ See Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaic Cells, Whether or Not Assembled Into Modules From the People's Republic of China: Amended Partial Rescission of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 79 FR 43713, 43714 (July 28, 2014). For additional discussion, see Issues and Decision Memorandum at Comment 8. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- PRC-Wide Entity In the Preliminary Results, the Department preliminarily determined to treat 21 companies subject to this review as part of the PRC-wide entity because they did not establish their eligibility to receive a separate rate.\35\ Interested parties commented on the Department's preliminary decision to treat the Wuxi Suntech Single Entity, ERA Solar Co., Ltd., Jiangsu Sunlink PV Technology Co., Ltd., CSG PVTech Co., Ltd., and Leye Photovoltaic Co., Ltd. as part of the PRC-wide entity.\36\ In the Preliminary Results, the Department collapsed Wuxi Suntech, Luoyang Suntech, Shanghai Suntech, and Wuxi Sunshine into a single entity, the Wuxi Suntech Single Entity, and did not grant this single entity a separate rate. In these final results we are only collapsing Wuxi Suntech and Luoyang Suntech. Based on record information, we find the collapsed entity comprising Wuxi Suntech and Luoyang Suntech has established its entitlement to a separate rate because it is wholly foreign owned.\37\ With respect to the other two companies that we preliminarily collapsed, but are no longer collapsing, with Wuxi Suntech, Shanghai Suntech reported that it made no shipments during the POR,\38\ and the Department, based on its examination of record evidence, finds that this company did not have any reviewable transactions of subject merchandise during the POR.\39\ Because Shanghai Suntech did not have any reviewable transactions during the POR, it does not qualify to be granted separate rates status.\40\ Additionally, all parties withdrew their requests to review Wuxi Sunshine and thus it is not subject to this administrative review.\41\ The Department continues to find that the remaining companies preliminarily found not to have established their eligibility for a separate rate to be part of the PRC-wide entity.\42\ In addition, the Department finds that LDK Hi-Tech (Nanchang Co., Ltd., which did not provide the Department with information regarding its eligibility for separate rate status, is also a part of the PRC-wide entity.\43\ Further, the Department finds that Leye Photovoltaic Co., Ltd. is not subject to this administrative review, and, therefore, retains its combination rate, i.e., separate rate for merchandise produced and exported by Leye Photovoltaic Co., Ltd., which it received in the underlying investigation.\44\ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \35\ See Preliminary Decision Memorandum at 15. \36\ See Issues and Decision Memorandum. \37\ Id. \38\ See Shanghai Suntech's February 26, 2014 submission to the Department. \39\ See Shanghai Suntech's October 21, 2014 submission to the Department. \40\ Shanghai Suntech received its separate rate as a company that belonged to the Wuxi Suntech Single Entity. Because we find that Shanghai Suntech is no longer part of the Wuxi Suntech Single Entity and is subject to review, we have considered whether it qualifies to be granted a separate-rate in this review. \41\ In the investigation, Wuxi Sunshine received its separate rate as a company that belonged to the Wuxi Suntech Single Entity. Because we find that Wuxi Sunshine is no longer part of the Wuxi Suntech Single Entity, Wuxi Sunshine is not entitled to the separate-rate rate status previously granted to that Single Entity. Accordingly, it is part of the PRC-Wide Entity for cash deposit purposes. \42\ See infra n. 49 for a list of companies that the Department has determined should be treated as part of the PRC-wide entity. \43\ See Issues and Decision Memorandum at Comment 8. \44\ Id. at Comment 7. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rate for Separate-Rate Companies Not Selected as Mandatory Respondents The statute and the Department's regulations do not address the establishment of a rate to be applied to individual respondents not selected for examination when the Department limits its examination in an administrative review pursuant to section 777A(c)(2)(B) of the Act. Generally, the Department looks to section 735(c)(5) of the Act, which provides instructions for calculating the all-others rate in an investigation, for guidance when calculating the rate for respondents which we did not individually examine in an administrative review. Section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act instructs the Department to avoid calculating an all-others rate using rates which are zero, de minimis or based entirely on facts available. Accordingly, the Department's usual practice has been to average the weighted-average dumping margins for the selected companies, excluding rates that are zero, de minimis, or based entirely on facts available.\45\ Accordingly, the Department assigned to the companies that it did not individually examine, but which demonstrated their eligibility for a separate rate, the weighted- average dumping margins calculated for the two mandatory respondents.\46\ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \45\ See Ball Bearings and Parts Thereof From France, Germany, Italy, Japan, and the United Kingdom: Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Reviews and Rescission of Reviews in Part, 73 FR 52823, 52824 (September 11, 2008), and accompanying Issues and Decision Memorandum at Comment 16. \46\ See Memorandum to the File, through Howard Smith, Program Manager, AD/CVD Operations, Office IV, ``Calculation of the Final Margin for Separate Rate Recipients,'' dated concurrently with this notice. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Final Results We determine that the following weighted-average dumping margins exist for the POR: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Weighted-average Exporter dumping margin (percent) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Yingli Single Entity: Yingli Energy (China) Company 0.79 Limited/Baoding Tianwei Yingli New Energy Resources Co., Ltd./Tianjin Yingli New Energy Resources Co., Ltd./Hengshui Yingli New Energy Resources Co., Ltd./ Lixian Yingli New Energy Resources Co., Ltd./Baoding Jiasheng Photovoltaic Technology Co., Ltd./Beijing Tianneng Yingli New Energy Resources Co., Ltd./ Hainan Yingli New Energy Resources Co., Ltd.\47\....

PRC-Wide Entity \49\................................. \50\ 238.95 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Assessment Rates --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \47\ As noted above these companies comprise the Yingli Single Entity. \48\ In the investigation in this proceeding, the Department treated Changzhou Trina Solar Energy Co., Ltd. and Trina Solar (Changzhou) Science & Technology Co., Ltd. as a single entity. See Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaic Cells, Whether or Not Assembled into Modules, from the People's Republic of China: Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value, and Affirmative Final Determination of Critical Circumstances, in Part, 77 FR 63791 (October 17, 2012). Because no party has provided information on the record of the review contradicting this determination, the Department has continued to treat these companies as a single entity for purposes of this review. \49\ The PRC-wide entity includes the following companies: (1) Shanghai Suntech; (2) Wuxi Sunshine; (3) Changzhou NESL Solartech Co., Ltd.; (4) CSG PVTech Co., Ltd.; (5) Era Solar Co., Ltd.; (6) Innovosolar; (7) Jiangsu Sunlink PV Technology Co., Ltd.; (8) Jiawei Solarchina Co., Ltd.; (9) Jinko Solar Co., Ltd.; (10) LDK Solar Hi- tech (Suzhou) Co., Ltd.; (11) Leye Photovoltaic Science Tech.; (12) Magi Solar Technology; (13) Ningbo ETDZ Holdings, Ltd.; (14) ReneSola; (15) Shanghai Machinery Complete Equipment (Group) Corp., Ltd.; (16) Shenglong PV-Tech; (17) Solarbest Energy-Tech (Zhejiang) Co., Ltd.; (18) Suzhou Shenglong PV-TECH Co., Ltd.; (19) Zhejiang Shuqimeng Photovoltaic Technology Co., Ltd.; (20) Zhejiang Xinshun Guangfu Science and Technology Co., Ltd.; (21) Zhejiang ZG-Cells Co., Ltd.; (22) Zhiheng Solar Inc.; and (23) LDK Hi-Tech (Nanchang Co., Ltd. In addition, the PRC-wide entity includes the companies listed in Appendix II of the notice Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaic Cells, Whether or Not Assembled Into Modules From the People's Republic of China: Amended Partial Rescission of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 79 FR 43713 (July 28, 2014). \50\ This PRC-wide entity rate equals the PRC-wide entity rate of 249.96% adjusted for export subsidies and estimated domestic subsidy pass-through. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Department will determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (``CBP'') shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries covered by this review. The Department intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP 15 days after the publication date of these final results of this review. In accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), we are calculating importer- (or customer-) specific assessment rates for the merchandise subject to this review. For any individually examined respondent whose weighted-average dumping margin is above de minimis (i.e., 0.50 percent), the Department will calculate importer- (or customer)-specific assessment rates for merchandise subject to this review. Where the respondent reported reliable entered values, the Department calculated importer- (or customer)-specific ad valorem rates by aggregating the dumping margins calculated for all U.S. sales to the importer- (or customer) and dividing this amount by the total entered value of the sales to the importer- (or customer).\51\ Where the Department calculated an importer- (or customer)-specific weighted-average dumping margin by dividing the total amount of dumping for reviewed sales to the importer- (or customer) by the total sales quantity associated with those transactions, the Department will direct CBP to assess importer- (or customer)-specific assessment rates based on the resulting per-unit rates.\52\ Where an importer- (or customer)- specific ad valorem or per-unit rate is greater than de minimis, the Department will instruct CBP to collect the appropriate duties at the time of liquidation. Where either the respondent's weighted average dumping margin is zero or de minimis, or an importer (or customer-) specific ad valorem or per-unit rate is zero or de minimis, the Department will instruct CBP to liquidate appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties.\53\ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \51\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). \52\ Id. \53\ See Antidumping Proceedings: Calculation of the Weighted- Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping Duty Proceedings; Final Modification, 77 FR 8101, 8103 (February 14, 2012). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- On October 24, 2011, the Department announced a refinement to its assessment practice in NME antidumping duty cases.\54\ Pursuant to this refinement in practice, for merchandise that was not reported in the U.S. sales databases submitted by an exporter individually examined during this review, but that entered under the case number of that exporter (i.e., at the individually-examined exporter's cash deposit rate), the Department will instruct CBP to liquidate such entries at the PRC-wide rate, as adjusted for export subsidies and estimated domestic subsidy pass-through. Additionally, pursuant to this refinement, if the Department determines that an exporter under review had no shipments of the subject merchandise, any suspended entries that entered under that exporter's case number will be liquidated at the PRC-wide rate, as adjusted for export subsidies and estimated domestic subsidy pass-through. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \54\ See Non-Market Economy Antidumping Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 76 FR 65694 (October 24, 2011), for a full discussion of this practice. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cash Deposit Requirements The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon publication of the final results of this administrative review for shipments of the subject merchandise from the PRC [[Page 41003]] entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date of this notice in the Federal Register, as provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For the exporters listed above, the cash deposit rate will be the rate listed for each exporter in the table in the ``Final Results'' section of this notice; (2) for previously investigated PRC and non-PRC exporters that received a separate rate in a prior segment of this proceeding, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the existing exporter-specific rate; (3) for all PRC exporters of subject merchandise that have not been found to be entitled to a separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be the rate previously established for the PRC-wide entity; and (4) for all non-PRC exporters of subject merchandise which have not received their own rate, the cash deposit rate will be the rate applicable to the PRC exporter that supplied that non-PRC exporter. These deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice. Disclosure We intend to disclose the calculations performed for these final results of review within five days of the date of publication of this notice in the Federal Register in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). Notification to Importers Regarding the Reimbursement of Duties This notice also serves as a final reminder to importers of their responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f) to file a certificate regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation of the relevant entries during this POR. Failure to comply with this requirement could result in the Secretary's presumption that reimbursement of antidumping duties has occurred and the subsequent assessment of double antidumping duties. Administrative Protective Order (``APO'') This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to APO of their responsibility concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305, which continues to govern business proprietary information in this segment of the proceeding. Timely written notification of the return or destruction of APO materials, or conversion to judicial protective order, is hereby requested. Failure to comply with the regulations and terms of an APO is a violation which is subject to sanction. We are issuing these results of administrative review and publishing notice in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act. Dated: July 7, 2015.
