[Federal Register Volume 82, Number 64 (Wednesday, April 5, 2017)] [Notices] [Pages 16573-16575] From the Federal Register Online [www.thefederalregister.org] [FR Doc No: 2017-06727] ======================================================================= ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE International Trade Administration [A-583-853, A-570-010, C-570-011] Certain Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaic Products From the People's Republic of China and From Taiwan: Final Results of Changed Circumstances Reviews, and Revocation of Antidumping Duty Orders and Countervailing Duty Order, in Part AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, Department of Commerce. SUMMARY: On February 16, 2017, the Department of Commerce (the ``Department'') published its preliminary results of changed circumstances reviews (``CCRs'') and intent to revoke, in part, the antidumping duty (``AD'') and countervailing duty (``CVD'') orders on certain crystalline silicon photovoltaic products from the People's Republic of China (``PRC'') and the AD order on certain crystalline silicon photovoltaic products from Taiwan (collectively the ``Orders'') with respect to certain solar panels. Specifically, the Department preliminarily determined that the producers accounting for substantially all of the production of the domestic like product to which the Orders pertain lacked interest in the relief provided by the Orders with respect to certain solar panels that are incorporated in the battery charging and maintaining units described below. We invited interested parties to comment on the preliminary results. No party submitted comments. For the final results of these CCRs, the Department is revoking, in part, the Orders as to imports of certain solar panels that are incorporated in the battery charging and maintaining units described below. DATES: Effective April 5, 2017. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Magd Zalok or Howard Smith, AD/CVD Operations, Office IV, Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-4162 or (202) 482-5193, respectively. Background On February 18, 2015, the Department published the Orders in the Federal Register.\1\ On April 20, 2016, the Department received a request on behalf of PulseTech Products Corporation (``PulseTech'') for CCRs to revoke, in part, the Orders with respect to certain stand-alone solar panels and certain solar panels incorporated in a specific type of battery charging and maintaining unit.\2\ In subsequent submissions filed between May 12, 2016, and September 2, 2016, PulseTech modified the description of the exclusion request for solar panels incorporated in certain battery charging and maintaining units. On September 6, 2016, SolarWorld Americas, Inc. (``Petitioner'') stated that it agrees with the scope exclusion language proposed by PulseTech.\3\ Ultimately PulseTech withdrew its request for changed circumstances reviews with respect to the stand-alone solar panels not incorporated in battery charging and maintaining units.\4\ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \1\ See Certain Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaic Products from the People's Republic of China: Antidumping Duty Order; and Amended Final Affirmative Countervailing Duty Determination and Countervailing Duty Order, 80 FR 8592 (Feb. 18, 2015); see also Certain Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaic Products from Taiwan: Antidumping Duty Order, 80 FR 8596 (Feb. 18, 2015) (``Orders''). \2\ See April 20, 2016 letter from PulseTech Products Corporation Re: Resubmission of Requests for Changed Circumstances Review--Certain Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaic Products from the People's Republic of China and from Taiwan (``PulseTech's Request''). \3\ See September 6, 2016 letter from Petitioner Re: Certain Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaic Products from the People's Republic of China and Taiwan: Changed Circumstances Review Request--Letter of No Opposition. \4\ See PulseTech's October 28, 2016 submission to the Department. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- On November 10, 2016, the Department published the Initiation Notice for the requested CCRs in the Federal Register.\5\ On February 16, 2017, the Department published the Preliminary Results of these CCRs in which it found that producers accounting for substantially all of the production of the domestic like product to which the Orders pertain lack interest in the relief afforded by the Orders with respect to certain solar panels incorporated in a specific type of battery charging and maintaining unit as described in PulseTech's request.\6\ The Department invited interested parties to submit comments on the Preliminary Results. We received no comments. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \5\ See Certain Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaic Products from the People's Republic of China and from Taiwan: Notice of Initiation of Changed Circumstances Reviews, and Consideration of Revocation of the Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Orders in Part, 81 FR 78967 (Nov. 10, 2016) (``Initiation Notice''). \6\ See Certain Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaic Products from the People's Republic of China and from Taiwan: Preliminary Results of Changed Circumstances Reviews, and Intent to Revoke Antidumping Duty Orders and Countervailing Duty Order in Part, 82 FR 10878 (February 16, 2017) (``Preliminary Results''). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Final Results of Changed Circumstances Reviews, and Revocation of the Orders, in Part Because no party submitted comments opposing the Department's Preliminary Results, and the record contains no other information or evidence that calls into question the Preliminary Results, the Department determines, pursuant to section 751(d)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the ``Act''), section 782(h) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.222(g), that there are changed circumstances that warrant revocation of the Orders, in part. Specifically, because the producers accounting for substantially all of the production of the domestic like product to which the Orders pertain lack interest in the relief provided by the Orders with respect to the following type of solar panels, we are revoking the Orders, in part for solar panels that are: (1) Less than 300,000 mm\2\ in surface area; (2) less than 27.1 watts in power; (3) coated across their entire surface with a polyurethane doming resin; and (4) joined to a battery charging and maintaining unit (which is an acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (``ABS'') box that incorporates a light emitting diode (``LED'')) by coated wires that include a connector to permit the incorporation of an extension cable. The battery charging and maintaining unit utilizes high- frequency triangular pulse waveforms designed to maintain and extend the life of batteries through the reduction of lead sulfate crystals. The above-described battery charging and maintaining unit is currently available under the registered trademark ``SolarPulse.'' The scope description below includes this exclusion language. Scope of the AD and CVD Orders on Certain Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaic Products From the PRC The merchandise covered by these orders are modules, laminates and/ or panels consisting of crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells, whether or not partially or fully assembled into other products, including building integrated materials.
