SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On December 7, 2012, the Department published the AD order on solar 
cells from the PRC in the Federal Register.\1\ On February 18, 2015, 
the Department published the AD order on solar products from the PRC in 
the Federal Register.\2\ On September 8, 2016, the Department received 
a request on behalf of Q CELLS Hong Kong and Q CELLS Qidong for 
expedited CCRs to establish Q CELLS Hong Kong as the successor-in-
interest to SolarOne Hong Kong \3\ and to establish Q CELLS Qidong as 
the successor-in-interest to SolarOne Qidong for purposes of the of the 
AD and countervailing duty (``CVD'') orders on solar cells from the PRC 
and solar products from the PRC.\4\ On September 23, 2016, Q CELLS Hong 
Kong and Q CELLS Qidong withdrew their request for CCRs with respect to 
the CVD orders on solar cells and solar products from the PRC.\5\ The 
Department received comments on October 11, 2016 from SolarWorld 
Americas, Inc. (``Petitioner'') concerning Q CELLS Hong Kong and Q 
CELLS Qidong's CCR request.\6\ On February 24, 2017, the Department 
initiated the instant CCRs and made a preliminary finding that: Q CELLS 
Qidong is the successor-in-interest to SolarOne Qidong and is entitled 
to SolarOne Qidong's AD cash deposit rates with respect to the AD 
orders on solar cells and solar products from the PRC and Q CELLS Hong 
Kong is the successor-in-interest to SolarOne Hong Kong and is entitled 
to SolarOne Hong Kong's AD cash deposit rate with respect to the AD 
order on solar products from the PRC.\7\ We provided interested parties 
14 days from the date of publication of the Preliminary Results to 
submit case briefs. No interested parties submitted case briefs or 
requested a hearing.

Final Results of the Changed Circumstances Reviews

    Because no interested party submitted comments on, and the record 
contains no information or evidence that calls into question, the 
Preliminary Results, the Department adopts the analysis from the 
Preliminary Results and Preliminary Decision Memorandum and continues 
to find that Q CELLS Qidong is the successor-in-interest to SolarOne 
Qidong with respect to the AD orders on solar cells and solar products 
from the PRC, and that Q CELLS Hong Kong is the successor-in-interest 
to SolarOne Hong Kong with respect to the AD order on solar products 
from the PRC. Therefore, Q CELLS Qidong is entitled to the AD cash 
deposit rate of SolarOne Qidong for purposes of the AD orders on solar 
cells and solar products from the PRC, and Q CELLS Hong Kong is 
entitled to the AD cash deposit rate of SolarOne Hong Kong for purposes 
of the AD order on solar products from the PRC.

Instructions to U.S. Customs and Border Protection

    Based on these final results, we intend to instruct U.S. Customs 
and Border Protection (``CBP'') to collect estimated duties for all 
shipments of solar cells from the PRC and solar products from the PRC 
exported and produced by Q CELLS Qidong and entered, or withdrawn from 
warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date of this 
notice in the Federal Register at the current AD cash deposit rates for 
SolarOne Qidong. Those cash deposit rates are 13.18 percent \10\ and 
30.06 percent,\11\ respectively.\12\

People's Republic of China: Final Determination of Sales at Less 
Than Fair Value; 79 FR 76970-01 (December 23, 2014) where the 
Department indicated that it would instruct CBP to require a cash 
deposit equal to the weighted-average amount by which the normal 
value exceeds U.S. price, adjusted where appropriate for export 
subsidies and estimated domestic subsidy pass-through. The 30.06 
rate is the adjusted rate.
    \12\ SolarOne Hong Kong and SolarOne Qidong's separate rates in 
both orders are combination rates. In the solar products antidumping 
duty proceeding, SolarOne Hong Kong's separate rate is classified 
under case number A-570-010-017, where SolarOne Hong Kong is 
identified as the exporter and SolarOne Qidong is identified as the 
manufacturer. In the same proceeding, SolarOne Qidong has a separate 
rate classified under case number A-570-010-016, where SolarOne 
Qidong is identified as the exporter and manufacturer. In the solar 
cells proceeding, SolarOne Hong Kong does not have a separate rate 
and SolarOne Qidong does have a separate rate, classified under case 
number A-570-979-014, where SolarOne Qidong is identified as the 
exporter and manufacturer. In updating these combination rates, we 
intend to revise both the names of the exporters and manufacturer 
consistent with our final determination that Q CELLS Hong Kong and Q 
CELLS Qidong are the successors-in-interest to SolarOne Hong Kong 
and SolarOne Qidong, respectively.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Department furthermore intends to instruct CBP to collect 
estimated duties for all shipments of solar products from the PRC 
exported by Q CELLS Hong Kong and produced by Q CELLS Qidong, and 
entered or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the 
publication date of this notice in the Federal Register at the current 
AD cash deposit rate for SolarOne Hong Kong (i.e., 30.06 percent).\13\ 
These cash deposit requirements shall remain in effect until further 
notice.

Department indicated that it would instruct CBP to require a cash 
deposit equal to the weighted-average amount by which the normal 
value exceeds U.S. price, adjusted where appropriate for export 
subsidies and estimated domestic subsidy pass-through. The 30.06
