INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION
[Investigation Nos. 701-TA-722-725 and 731-TA-1690-1693 (Preliminary)]
Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaic Cells, Whether or Not Assembled
Into Modules, From Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam;
Determinations
On the basis of the record \1\ developed in the subject
investigations, the United States International Trade Commission
(``Commission'') determines, pursuant to the Tariff Act of 1930 (``the
Act''), that there is a reasonable indication that an industry in the
United States is materially injured by reason of imports of crystalline
silicon photovoltaic cells, whether or not assembled into modules
(``CSPV products''), from Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam,
provided for in subheadings 8501.71, 8501.72, and 8501.80 and
statistical reporting number 8507.20.8010 of the Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States, that are alleged to be sold in the
United States at less than fair value (``LTFV'') and subsidized by the
governments of Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam, and that there is a
reasonable indication that a U.S. industry is threatened with material
injury by reason of imports of CSPV products from Cambodia that are
alleged to be subsidized by the government of Cambodia.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ The record is defined in Sec. 207.2(f) of the Commission's
Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 207.2(f)).
\2\ 89 FR 43809 and 89 FR 43816 (May 20, 2024).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Commencement of Final Phase Investigations
Pursuant to section 207.18 of the Commission's rules, the
Commission also gives notice of the commencement of the final phase of
its investigations. The Commission will issue a final phase notice of
scheduling, which will be published in the Federal Register as provided
in Sec. 207.21 of the Commission's rules, upon notice from the U.S.
Department of Commerce (``Commerce'') of affirmative preliminary
determinations in the investigations under Sec. Sec. 703(b) or 733(b)
of the Act, or, if the preliminary determinations are negative, upon
notice of affirmative final determinations in those investigations
under Sec. Sec. 705(a) or 735(a) of the Act. Parties that filed
entries of appearance in the preliminary phase of the investigations
need not enter a separate appearance for the final phase of the
investigations. Any other party may file an entry of appearance for the
final phase of the investigations after publication of the final phase
notice of scheduling. Industrial users, and, if the merchandise under
investigation is sold at the retail level, representative consumer
organizations have the right to appear as parties in Commission
antidumping and countervailing duty investigations. The Secretary will
prepare a public service list containing the names and addresses of all
persons, or their representatives, who are parties to the
investigations. As provided in section 207.20 of the Commission's
rules, the Director of the Office of Investigations will circulate
draft questionnaires for the final phase of the investigations to
parties to the investigations, placing copies on the Commission's
Electronic Document Information System (EDIS, <a href="https://edis.usitc.gov">https://edis.usitc.gov</a>),
for comment.
Background
On April 24, 2024, the American Alliance for Solar Manufacturing
Trade Committee filed petitions with the Commission and Commerce,
alleging that an industry in the United States is materially injured or
threatened with material injury by reason of subsidized imports of CSPV
products from Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam and LTFV
imports of CSPV products from Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand, and
Vietnam. Accordingly, effective April 24, 2024, the Commission
instituted countervailing duty investigation Nos. 701-TA-722-725 and
antidumping duty investigation Nos. 731-TA-1690-1693 (Preliminary).
Notice of the institution of the Commission's investigations and of
a public conference to be held in connection therewith was given by
posting copies of the notice in the Office of the Secretary, U.S.
International Trade Commission, Washington, DC, and by publishing the
notice in the Federal Register of April 30, 2024 (89 FR 34268). The
Commission conducted its conference on May 15, 2024. All persons who
requested the opportunity were permitted to participate.
The Commission made these determinations pursuant to Sec. Sec.
703(a) and 733(a) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1671b(a) and 1673b(a)). It
completed and filed its determinations in these investigations on June
10, 2024. The views of the Commission are contained in USITC
Publication 5517 (June 2024), entitled Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaic
Cells, Whether or Not Assembled into Modules, from Cambodia, Malaysia,
Thailand, and Vietnam: Investigation Nos. 701-TA-722-725 and 731-TA-
1690-1693 (Preliminary).
By order of the Commission.
