SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The Petitions

    On July 17, 2025, the U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) 
received antidumping duty (AD) petitions concerning imports of 
crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells, whether or not assembled into 
modules (solar cells), from India, Indonesia, and Laos filed in proper 
form on behalf of the Alliance for American Solar Manufacturing and 
Trade (the petitioner).\1\ The AD Petitions were accompanied by 
countervailing duty (CVD) petitions concerning imports of solar cells 
from India, Indonesia, and Laos.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Petitioner's Letter, ``Petitions for the Imposition of 
Antidumping and Countervailing Duties,'' dated July 17, 2025 
(Petitions). The individual members of the Alliance for American 
Solar Manufacturing and Trade (the Alliance) are First Solar, Inc., 
Hanwha Q CELLS USA, Inc. (Qcells), and Mission Solar Energy LLC 
(Mission Solar).
    \2\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Between July 21 and 31, 2025, Commerce requested supplemental 
information pertaining to certain aspects of the Petitions in 
supplemental questionnaires.\3\ Between July 23 and August 4, 2025, the 
petitioner filed timely responses to these requests for additional 
information.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See Commerce's Letters, ``Supplemental Questions,'' dated 
July 21, 2025 (General Issues Questionnaire) and First Country-
Specific Supplemental Questionnaires: India Supplemental, Indonesia 
Supplemental, and Laos Supplemental, dated July 22, 2025; see also 
Country-Specific Memoranda, ``Teleconference with Counsel to the 
Petitioner,'' dated July 31, 2025.
    \4\ See Petitioner's Letters, ``Response to the 1st Supplemental 
Questionnaire Regarding Common Issues and Injury Volume I of the 
Petition,'' dated July 23, 2025 (General Issues Supplement); ``First 
Country-Specific AD Supplemental Responses: First India AD 
Supplement,'' ``First Indonesia AD Supplement,'' and ``First Laos AD 
Supplement,'' dated July 25, 2025; and ``Second Country-Specific AD 
Supplemental Responses: Second India AD Supplement,'' ``Second 
Indonesia AD Supplement,'' ``Second Laos AD Supplement,'' dated 
August 1, 2025 and August 4, 2025.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In accordance with section 732(b) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 
amended (the Act), the petitioner alleges that imports of solar cells 
from India, Indonesia, and Laos are being, or are likely to be, sold in 
the United States at less than fair value (LTFV) within the meaning of 
section 731 of the Act, and that imports of such products are 
materially injuring, or threatening material injury to, the solar cells 
industry in the United States. Consistent with section 732(b)(1) of the 
Act, the Petitions were accompanied by information reasonably available 
to the petitioner supporting its allegations.
    Commerce finds that the petitioner filed the Petitions on behalf of 
the domestic industry, because the petitioner is an interested party, 
as defined in section 771(9)(F) of the Act.\5\ Commerce also finds that 
the petitioner demonstrated sufficient industry support for the 
initiation of the requested LTFV investigations.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ The Alliance is an association, the majority of whose 
members are producers of the domestic like product. Individual 
members of the Alliance (QCells and Mission Solar) are interested 
parties within the meaning of section 771(9)(C) of the Act. See 
Petitions at Volume I (page 2).
    \6\ See section on ``Determination of Industry Support for the 
Petitions,'' infra.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Period of Investigation

    Because the Petitions were filed on July 17, 2025, pursuant to 19 
CFR 351.204(b)(1), the period of investigation (POI) for the India, 
Indonesia, and Laos LTFV investigations is July 1, 2024, through June 
30, 2025. The petitioner argued that Commerce should determine in this 
investigation that Laos is a non-market economy (NME) within the 
meaning of section 771(18)(A) of the Act and should calculate normal 
value (NV) for Laos in accordance with its NME methodology.\7\ Under 
the NME methodology for the Laos LTFV investigation, the appropriate 
POI is January 1, 2025, through June 30, 2025, pursuant to 19 CFR 
351.204(b)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ See Petitions at Volume IV (pages 2-3, 29 and Exhibit IV-1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Scope of the Investigations

    The products covered by these investigations are solar cells from 
India, Indonesia, and Laos. For a full description of the scope of 
these investigations, see the appendix to this notice.

Comments on the Scope of the Investigations

    On July 21, 2025, Commerce requested information and clarification 
from the petitioner regarding the proposed scope to ensure that the 
scope language in the Petitions is an accurate reflection of the 
products for which the domestic industry is seeking relief.\8\ On July 
23, 2025, the petitioner provided clarifications and revised the 
scope.\9\ The description of merchandise covered by these 
investigations, as described in the appendix to this notice, reflects 
these clarifications.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ See General Issues Questionnaire at 3-4.
    \9\ See General Issues Supplement at 2-8.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    As discussed in the Preamble to Commerce's regulations, we are 
setting aside a period for interested parties to raise issues regarding 
product coverage (i.e., scope).\10\ Commerce will consider all scope 
comments received from interested parties and, if necessary, will 
consult with interested parties prior to the issuance of the 
preliminary determinations. If scope comments include factual 
information,\11\ all such factual information should be limited to 
public information. Commerce requests that interested parties provide 
at the beginning of their scope comments a public executive summary for 
each comment or issue raised in their submission. Commerce further 
requests that interested parties limit their public executive summary 
of each comment or issue to no more than 450 words, not including 
citations. Commerce intends to use the public executive summaries as 
the basis of the comment summaries included in the analysis of scope 
comments. To facilitate preparation of

[[Page 38737]]

its questionnaires, Commerce requests that scope comments be submitted 
by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time (ET) on August 26, 2025, which is 20 calendar 
days from the signature date of this notice. Any rebuttal comments, 
which may include factual information, and should also be limited to 
public information, must be filed by 5:00 p.m. ET on September 5, 2025, 
which is 10 calendar days from the initial comment deadline.

62 FR 27296, 27323 (June 19, 1997) (Preamble); see also 19 CFR 
351.312.
    \11\ See 19 CFR 351.102(b)(21) (defining ``factual 
information'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Commerce requests that any factual information that parties 
consider relevant to the scope of these investigations be submitted 
during that period. However, if a party subsequently finds that 
additional factual information pertaining to the scope of the 
investigations may be relevant, the party must contact Commerce and 
request permission to submit the additional information. All scope 
comments must be filed simultaneously on the records of the concurrent 
LTFV and CVD investigations.

Filing Requirements

    All submissions to Commerce must be filed electronically via 
Enforcement and Compliance's Antidumping Duty and Countervailing Duty 
Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS), unless an exception 
applies.\12\ An electronically filed document must be received 
successfully in its entirety by the time and date it is due.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Comments on Product Characteristics

    Commerce is providing interested parties an opportunity to comment 
on the appropriate physical characteristics of solar cells to be 
reported in response to Commerce's AD questionnaires. This information 
will be used to identify the key physical characteristics of the 
subject merchandise in order to report the relevant factors of 
production (FOPs) or cost of production (COP) accurately, as well as to 
develop appropriate product comparison criteria.
    Interested parties may provide any information or comments that 
they feel are relevant to the development of an accurate list of 
physical characteristics. Specifically, they may provide comments as to 
which characteristics are appropriate to use as: (1) general product 
characteristics; and (2) product comparison criteria. We note that it 
is not always appropriate to use all product characteristics as product 
comparison criteria. We base product comparison criteria on meaningful 
commercial differences among products. In other words, although there 
may be some physical product characteristics utilized by manufacturers 
to describe solar cells, it may be that only a select few product 
characteristics take into account commercially meaningful physical 
characteristics. In addition, interested parties may comment on the 
order in which the physical characteristics should be used in matching 
products. Generally, Commerce attempts to list the most important 
physical characteristics first and the least important characteristics 
last.
    In order to consider the suggestions of interested parties in 
developing and issuing the AD questionnaires, all product 
characteristics comments must be filed by 5:00 p.m. ET on August 26, 
2025, which is 20 calendar days from the signature date of this notice. 
Any rebuttal comments must be filed by 5:00 p.m. ET on September 5, 
2025, which is 10 calendar days from the initial comment deadline. All 
comments and submissions to Commerce must be filed electronically using 
ACCESS, as explained above, on the record of the each of the LTFV 
investigations.

Determination of Industry Support for the Petitions

    Section 732(b)(1) of the Act requires that a petition be filed on 
behalf of the domestic industry. Section 732(c)(4)(A) of the Act 
provides that a petition meets this requirement if the domestic 
producers or workers who support the petition account for: (i) at least 
25 percent of the total production of the domestic like product; and 
(ii) more than 50 percent of the production of the domestic like 
product produced by that portion of the industry expressing support 
for, or opposition to, the petition. Moreover, section 732(c)(4)(D) of 
the Act provides that, if the petition does not establish support of 
domestic producers or workers accounting for more than 50 percent of 
the total production of the domestic like product, Commerce shall: (i) 
poll the industry or rely on other information in order to determine if 
there is support for the petition, as required by subparagraph (A); or 
(ii) determine industry support using a statistically valid sampling 
method to poll the ``industry.''
    Section 771(4)(A) of the Act defines the ``industry'' as the 
producers as a whole of a domestic like product. Thus, to determine 
whether a petition has the requisite industry support, the statute 
directs Commerce to look to producers and workers who produce the 
domestic like product. The U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC), 
which is responsible for determining whether ``the domestic industry'' 
has been injured, must also determine what constitutes a domestic like 
product in order to define the industry. While both Commerce and the 
ITC must apply the same statutory definition regarding the domestic 
like product,\13\ they do so for different purposes and pursuant to a 
separate and distinct authority. In addition, Commerce's determination 
is subject to limitations of time and information. Although this may 
result in different definitions of the like product, such differences 
do not render the decision of either agency contrary to law.\14\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ See section 771(10) of the Act.
    \14\ See USEC, Inc. v. United States, 132 F. Supp. 2d 1, 8 (CIT 
2001) (citing Algoma Steel Corp., Ltd. v. United States, 688 F. 
Supp. 639, 644 (CIT 1988), aff'd 865 F.2d 240 (Fed. Cir. 1989)).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Section 771(10) of the Act defines the domestic like product as ``a 
product which is like, or in the absence of like, most similar in 
characteristics and uses with, the article subject to an investigation 
under this title.'' Thus, the reference point from which the domestic 
like product analysis begins is ``the article subject to an 
investigation'' (i.e., the class or kind of merchandise to be 
investigated, which normally will be the scope as defined in the 
petition).
    With regard to the domestic like product, the petitioner does not 
offer a definition of the domestic like product distinct from the scope 
of the investigations.\15\ Based on our analysis of the information 
submitted on the record, we have determined that solar cells, as 
defined in the scope, constitutes a single domestic like product, and 
we have analyzed industry support in terms of that domestic like 
product.\16\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

applied to these cases and information regarding industry support,

    In determining whether the petitioner has standing under section 
732(c)(4)(A) of the Act, we considered the industry support data 
contained in the Petitions with reference to the domestic like product 
as defined in the ``Scope of the Investigations,'' in the appendix to 
this notice. To establish industry support, the petitioner provided the 
2024 production of the domestic like product for the U.S. producers 
that support the Petitions and compared this to the estimated total 
U.S. production of the domestic like product by the entire U.S. solar 
cells industry.\17\ We relied on data provided by the petitioner for 
purposes of measuring industry support.\18\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \18\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On July 30, 2025, we received timely filed comments on industry 
support from Illuminate USA LLC (Illuminate), a U.S. producer of the 
domestic like product.\19\ On July 30, 2025, we also received timely 
filed comments on industry support from a group of U.S. producers, 
Canadian Solar US Module Manufacturing Corporation (Canadian Solar), 
Heliene USA Inc. (Heliene), and Silfab Solar WA (Silfab).\20\ On August 
1, 2025, the petitioner responded to the comments from Illuminate, 
Canadian Solar, Heliene and Silfab in a timely filed rebuttal 
submission.\21\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \19\ See Illuminate's Letter, ``Illuminate Request to Poll the 
Domestic Industry,'' dated July 30, 2025.
    \20\ See Letter from Canadian Solar, Heliene, and Silfab, 
``Request to Poll the Industry,'' dated July 30, 2025.
    \21\ See Petitioner's Letter, ``Alliance's Rebuttal Comments to 
Parties Industry Polling Requests,'' dated August 1, 2025 
(Petitioner's Rebuttal).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Our review of the data provided in the Petitions, the General 
Issues Supplement, Petitioner's Rebuttal, and other information readily 
available to Commerce indicates that the petitioner has established 
industry support for the Petitions.\22\ First, the Petitions 
established support from domestic producers (or workers) accounting for 
more than 50 percent of the total production of the domestic like 
product and, as such, Commerce is not required to take further action 
in order to evaluate industry support (e.g., polling).\23\ Second, the 
domestic producers (or workers) have met the statutory criteria for 
industry support under section 732(c)(4)(A)(i) of the Act because the 
domestic producers (or workers) who support the Petitions account for 
at least 25 percent of the total production of the domestic like 
product.\24\ Finally, the domestic producers (or workers) have met the 
statutory criteria for industry support under section 732(c)(4)(A)(ii) 
of the Act because the domestic producers (or workers) who support the 
Petitions account for more than 50 percent of the production of the 
domestic like product produced by that portion of the industry 
expressing support for, or opposition to, the Petitions.\25\ 
Accordingly, Commerce determines that the Petitions were filed on 
behalf of the domestic industry within the meaning of section 732(b)(1) 
of the Act.\26\

Allegations and Evidence of Material Injury and Causation

    The petitioner alleges that the U.S. industry producing the 
domestic like product is being materially injured, or is threatened 
with material injury, by reason of the imports of the subject 
merchandise sold at LTFV. In addition, the petitioner alleges that 
subject imports from India, Indonesia, and Laos individually exceed the 
negligibility threshold provided for under section 771(24)(A) of the 
Act.\27\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \27\ For further discussion, see Country-Specific AD Initiation 
Checklists at Attachment III, Analysis of Allegations and Evidence 
of Material Injury and Causation for the Antidumping and 
Countervailing Duty Petitions Covering Crystalline Silicon 
Photovoltaic Cells, Whether or Not Assembled into Modules, from 
India, Indonesia, and the Lao People's Democratic Republic 
(Attachment III).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The petitioner contends that the industry's injured condition is 
illustrated by the significant volume of subject imports, reduced 
market share, underselling and price depression and/or suppression, 
lost sales and revenues, declines in the domestic industry's 
production, shipments, capacity utilization, delays or retraction of 
the domestic industry's expansion plans and negative impact on 
employment and financial performance.\28\ We assessed the allegations 
and supporting evidence regarding material injury, threat of material 
injury, causation, cumulation, as well as negligibility, and we have 
determined that these allegations are properly supported by adequate 
evidence, and meet the statutory requirements for initiation.\29\

Allegations of Sales at LTFV

    The following is a description of the allegations of sales at LTFV 
upon which Commerce based its decision to initiate LTFV investigations 
of imports of solar cells from India, Indonesia, and Laos. The sources 
of data for the deductions and adjustments relating to U.S. price and 
NV are discussed in greater detail in the Country-Specific AD 
Initiation Checklists.

U.S. Price

    For India and Laos, the petitioner calculated constructed export 
price (CEP) based on pricing information for sales, or offers for sale, 
of solar cells produced in and exported from each country.\30\ For 
Indonesia, the petitioner based export price (EP) on a transaction-
specific average unit value (AUV) (i.e., month- and port-specific AUV) 
derived from official import statistics and tied to ship manifest 
data.\31\ For each country, the petitioner made certain adjustments to 
U.S. price to calculate a net ex-factory U.S. price, where 
applicable.\32\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \30\ See India AD Initiation Checklist; see also Laos AD 
Initiation Checklist.
    \31\ See Indonesia AD Initiation Checklist.
    \32\ See Country-Specific AD Checklists.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Normal Value <SUP>33</SUP>
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \33\ In accordance with section 773(b)(2) of the Act, for these 
investigations, Commerce will request information necessary to 
calculate the constructed value (CV) and COP to determine whether 
there are reasonable grounds to believe or suspect that sales of the 
foreign like product have been made at prices that represent less 
than the COP of the product.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    For India and Indonesia, the petitioner stated that it was unable 
to obtain home market or third-country pricing information for solar 
cells in India or Indonesia to use a basis for NV.\34\ Therefore, for 
India and Indonesia, the petitioner calculated NV based on CV. For 
further discussion of CV, see the section ``Normal Value Based on 
Constructed Value.''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \34\ See Country-Specific AD Initiation Checklists.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    For Laos, the petitioner provided NV calculations using both the 
NME and market economy (ME) methodologies.\35\ Under the ME 
methodology, for Laos, the petitioner stated that it was unable to 
obtain home market or third-country pricing information for solar cells 
in Laos to use a basis for ME NV.\36\ Therefore, under the ME 
methodology for Laos, the petitioner calculated ME NV based on CV.\37\ 
For further discussion of CV, see the section ``Normal Value Based on 
Constructed Value.'' Under the NME methodology, the petitioner 
calculated the NME NV based on FOPs valued in a surrogate market 
country economy country in accordance with section 773(c) of the 
Act.\38\ The petitioner claims that India is an appropriate surrogate 
country for

[[Page 38739]]

Laos because India is a market economy country that is at a level of 
economic development comparable to that of Laos and is a significant 
producer of comparable merchandise.\39\ The petitioner provided 
publicly available information from India to value all FOPs, where 
applicable.\40\ We relied on the petitioner's selection of India as a 
surrogate country for Laos to value FOPs for initiation purposes under 
the NME methodology.

    Interested parties will have the opportunity to submit comments 
regarding surrogate country selection and, pursuant to 19 CFR 
351.301(c)(3)(i), will be provided an opportunity to submit publicly 
available information to value FOPs within 30 days before the scheduled 
date of the preliminary determination.

Factors of Production

    Because information regarding the volume of inputs consumed by 
Laotian producers/exporters was not reasonably available, under the NME 
methodology, the petitioner used the production experience and product-
specific consumption rates of a U.S. producer of solar cells as a 
surrogate to value Laotian manufacturers' FOPs.\41\ Additionally, the 
petitioner calculated factory overhead, selling, general, and 
administrative expenses (SG&A), and profit based on the experience of 
an Indian producer of identical merchandise.\42\

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Normal Value Based on Constructed Value

    As noted above for India and Indonesia, the petitioner stated that 
it was unable to obtain home market or third-country prices for solar 
cells to use as a basis for NV. Therefore, for India and Indonesia, the 
petitioner calculated NV based on CV.\43\ Additionally, under the ME 
methodology for Laos, the petitioner stated it was also unable to 
obtain home market or third-country prices for solar cells to use as a 
basis for ME NV. Therefore, under the ME methodology for Laos, the 
petitioner calculated ME NV based on CV.\44\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \43\ See Country-Specific AD Initiation Checklists.
    \44\ See Laos AD Initiation Checklist.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Pursuant to section 773(e) of the Act, the petitioner calculated CV 
as the sum of the cost of manufacturing, SG&A expenses, financial 
expenses, and profit.\45\ For India and Indonesia, as well as for the 
ME methodology for Laos, in calculating the cost of manufacturing, the 
petitioner relied on the production experience and input consumption 
rates of a U.S. producer of solar cells, valued using publicly 
available information applicable to India, Indonesia, and Laos.\46\ For 
calculating SG&A expenses, financial expenses, and profit ratios, the 
petitioner relied on the 2024 financial statements of an Indian 
producer of identical merchandise, for India, and the 2024 financial 
statements of an Indonesian producer of comparable merchandise, for 
Indonesia, and the 2023-2024 financial statements for Indian producer 
of identical merchandise, for Laos.\47\

Fair Value Comparisons

    Based on the data provided by the petitioner, there is reason to 
believe that imports of solar cells from India, Indonesia, and Laos are 
being, or are likely to be, sold in the United States at LTFV. Based on 
comparisons of CEP or EP to NV in accordance with sections 772 and 773 
of the Act, the estimated dumping margins for solar cells from India 
and Indonesia are 123.04 percent and 94.36 percent, respectively.\48\ 
Under the ME methodology, the estimated dumping margin for solar cells 
from Laos is 190.12 percent, for purposes of initiation.\49\ In light 
of the petitioner's allegations in the Petition that Laos is a NME, 
under the NME methodology, the estimated dumping margin for solar cells 
from Laos is 123.12 percent, for purposes of initiation.\50\

Initiation of LTFV Investigations

    Based upon the examination of the Petitions and supplemental 
responses, we find that they meet the requirements of section 732 of 
the Act. Therefore, we are initiating LTFV investigations to determine 
whether imports of solar cells from India, Indonesia, and Laos are 
being, or are likely to be, sold in the United States at LTFV. In 
accordance with section 733(b)(1)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.205(b)(1), unless postponed, we will make our preliminary 
determinations no later than 140 days after the date of these 
initiations.

Respondent Selection

India and Indonesia

    In the Petitions, the petitioner identified 43 companies in India, 
and 54 companies in Indonesia as producers and/or exporters of solar 
cells.\51\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \51\ See Petitions at Volume I (page 18 and Exhibit I-18); see 
also General Issues Supplement at 1-2 and Exhibit I-Supp-1.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Following standard practice in LTFV investigations involving market 
economy countries, in the event Commerce determines that the number of 
companies is large, and it cannot individually examine each company 
based upon Commerce's resource, where appropriate, Commerce intends to 
select mandatory respondents based on U.S. Customs and Border 
Protection (CBP) data for imports under the appropriate Harmonized 
Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) subheading(s) listed in 
the ``Scope of the Investigations,'' in the appendix.
    On August 5, 2025, Commerce released CBP data on imports of solar 
cells from India and Indonesia under administrative protective order 
(APO) to all parties with access to information protected by APO and 
indicated that interested parties wishing to comment on CBP data and/or 
respondent selection must do so within three business days of the 
publication date of the notice of initiation of these 
investigations.\52\ Comments must be filed electronically using ACCESS. 
An electronically filed document must be received successfully in its 
entirety via ACCESS by 5:00 p.m. ET on the specified deadline. Commerce 
will not accept rebuttal comments regarding the CBP data or respondent 
selection.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \52\ See Country-Specific Memoranda, ``Release of U.S. Customs 
and Border Protection Entry Data,'' dated August 5, 2025.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Interested parties must submit applications for disclosure under 
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(b). Instructions for filing such 
applications may be found on Commerce's website at <a href="https://www.trade.gov/administrative-protective-orders">https://www.trade.gov/administrative-protective-orders</a>.

Laos

    In the Petition, the petitioner identified eight companies in Laos 
as producers/exporters of solar cells.\53\ As noted above, following 
our standard practice for ME countries, Commerce would normally select 
respondents based on CBP entry data for imports under the appropriate 
HTSUS subheadings listed in the scope of the investigations. Our 
standard practice for respondent selection in LTFV investigations 
involving NME countries is to select respondents based on quantity and 
value (Q&V) questionnaires in cases where Commerce has determined that 
the

[[Page 38740]]

number of companies is large, and it cannot individually examine each 
company based upon its resources. Therefore, considering the number of 
producers and/or exporters identified in the Petition, the petitioner's 
NME allegation, and the presentation of ME and NME NV methodologies in 
the Petition, Commerce has determined that it will solicit Q&V 
information that can serve as a basis for selecting exporters for 
individual examination in the event that Commerce determines that the 
number is large and decides to limit the number of respondents 
individually examined pursuant to section 777A(c)(2) of the Act. 
Because there are eight Laotian producers and/or exporters identified 
in the Petition, Commerce has determined that it will issue Q&V 
questionnaires to each potential respondent for which there is complete 
address information on the record.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \53\ See Petitions at Volume I (page 18 and Exhibit I-18).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Commerce will post the Q&V questionnaires along with filing 
instructions on Commerce's website at <a href="https://www.trade.gov/ec-adcvd-case-announcements">https://www.trade.gov/ec-adcvd-case-announcements</a>. Producers/exporters of solar cells in Laos that do 
not receive Q&V questionnaires may still submit a response to the Q&V 
questionnaire and can obtain a copy of the Q&V questionnaire from 
Commerce's website. Responses to the Q&V questionnaire must be 
submitted by the relevant Laotian producers/exporters no later than 
5:00 p.m. ET on August 20, 2025, which is two weeks from the signature 
date of this notice. All Q&V questionnaire responses must be filed 
electronically via ACCESS. An electronically filed document must be 
received successfully, in its entirety, by ACCESS no later than 5:00 
p.m. ET on the deadline noted above. Interested parties must submit 
applications for disclosure under administrative protective order (APO) 
in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(b). As stated above, instructions for 
filing such applications may be found on Commerce's website at <a href="https://www.trade.gov/administrative-protective-orders">https://www.trade.gov/administrative-protective-orders</a>.

Separate Rates

    In the event Commerce applies an NME methodology for Laos, Commerce 
will consider assigning separate rates to exporters and producers. In 
order to obtain separate rate status in an NME investigation, exporters 
and producers must submit a separate rate application. The specific 
requirements for submitting a separate rate application in an NME 
investigation are outlined in detail in the application itself, which 
is available on Commerce's website at <a href="https://access.trade.gov/Resources/nme/nme-sep-rate.html">https://access.trade.gov/Resources/nme/nme-sep-rate.html</a>. Note that Commerce recently 
promulgated new regulations pertaining to separate rates, including the 
separate rate application deadline and eligibility for separate rate 
status, in 19 CFR 351.108.\54\ Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.108(d)(1), the 
separate rate application will be due 21 days after publication of this 
initiation notice.\55\ Exporters and producers must file a timely 
separate rate application if they want to be considered for individual 
examination. In addition, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.108(e), exporters and 
producers who submit a separate rate application and have been selected 
as mandatory respondents will be eligible for consideration for 
separate rate status only if they fully respond to all parts of 
Commerce's AD questionnaire and participate in the LTFV proceeding as 
mandatory respondents.\56\ Commerce requires that companies from Laos 
submit a response both to the Q&V questionnaire and to the separate 
rate application by the respective deadlines to receive consideration 
for separate rate status. Companies not filing a timely Q&V 
questionnaire response will not receive separate rate consideration.

    \55\ See 19 CFR 351.108(d)(1).
    \56\ See 19 CFR 351.108(e).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Use of Combination Rates

    In the event Commerce applies an NME methodology for Laos, Commerce 
will calculate combination rates for certain respondents that are 
eligible for a separate rate in an NME investigation. The Separate 
Rates and Combination Rates Bulletin states:

{w{time} hile continuing the practice of assigning separate rates 
only to exporters, all separate rates that {Commerce{time}  will now 
assign in its NME investigation will be specific to those producers 
that supplied the exporter during the period of investigation. Note, 
however, that one rate is calculated for the exporter and all of the 
producers which supplied subject merchandise to it during the period 
of investigation. This practice applies both to mandatory 
respondents receiving an individually calculated separate rate as 
well as the pool of non-investigated firms receiving the {weighted 
average{time}  of the individually calculated rates. This practice 
is referred to as the application of ``combination rates'' because 
such rates apply to specific combinations of exporters and one or 
more producers. The cash-deposit rate assigned to an exporter will 
apply only to merchandise both exported by the firm in question and 
produced by a firm that supplied the exporter during the period of 
investigation.\57\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \57\ See Enforcement and Compliance's Policy Bulletin No. 05.1, 
regarding, ``Separate-Rates Practice and Application of Combination 
Rates in Antidumping Investigation involving NME Countries,'' (April 
5, 2005), at 6 (emphasis added), available on Commerce's website at 
<a href="https://access.trade.gov/Resources/policy/bull05-1.pdf">https://access.trade.gov/Resources/policy/bull05-1.pdf</a>.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Distribution of Copies of the Petitions

    In accordance with section 732(b)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.202(f), a copy of the public version of the Petitions has been 
provided to the governments of India, Indonesia, and Laos via ACCESS. 
To the extent practicable, we will attempt to provide a copy of the 
public version of the Petitions to each exporter named in the 
Petitions, as provided under 19 CFR 351.203(c)(2).

ITC Notification

    Commerce will notify the ITC of our initiation, as required by 
section 732(d) of the Act.

Preliminary Determinations by the ITC

    The ITC will preliminarily determine, within 45 days after the date 
on which the Petitions were filed, whether there is a reasonable 
indication that imports of solar cells from India, Indonesia, and/or 
Laos are materially injuring, or threatening material injury to, a U.S. 
industry.\58\ A negative ITC determination for any country will result 
in the investigation being terminated with respect to that country.\59\ 
Otherwise, these LTFV investigations will proceed according to 
statutory and regulatory time limits.

Submission of Factual Information

    Factual information is defined in 19 CFR 351.102(b)(21) as: (i) 
evidence submitted in response to questionnaires; (ii) evidence 
submitted in support of allegations; (iii) publicly available 
information to value factors under 19 CFR 351.408(c) or to measure the 
adequacy of remuneration under 19 CFR 351.511(a)(2); (iv) evidence 
placed on the record by Commerce; and (v) evidence other than factual 
information described in (i)-(iv). Section 351.301(b) of Commerce's 
regulations requires any party, when submitting factual information, to 
specify under which subsection of 19 CFR 351.102(b)(21) the information 
is being submitted \60\ and, if the information is submitted to rebut, 
clarify, or correct factual information already on the record, to 
provide an explanation identifying the information already on the 
record that the factual information seeks to rebut, clarify, or 
correct.\61\ Time limits for the submission of factual information are

[[Page 38741]]

addressed in 19 CFR 351.301, which provides specific time limits based 
on the type of factual information being submitted. Interested parties 
should review the regulations prior to submitting factual information 
in these investigations.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \60\ See 19 CFR 351.301(b).
    \61\ See 19 CFR 351.301(b)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Particular Market Situation Allegation

    Section 773(e) of the Act addresses the concept of particular 
market situation (PMS) for purposes of CV, stating that ``if a 
particular market situation exists such that the cost of materials and 
fabrication or other processing of any kind does not accurately reflect 
the cost of production in the ordinary course of trade, the 
administering authority may use another calculation methodology under 
this subtitle or any other calculation methodology.'' When an 
interested party submits a PMS allegation pursuant to section 773(e) of 
the Act (i.e., a cost-based PMS allegation), the submission must be 
filed in accordance with the requirements of 19 CFR 351.416(b), and 
Commerce will respond to such a submission consistent with 19 CFR 
351.301(c)(2)(v). If Commerce finds that a cost-based PMS exists under 
section 773(e) of the Act, then it will modify its dumping calculations 
appropriately.
    Neither section 773(e) of the Act, nor 19 CFR 351.301(c)(2)(v), 
sets a deadline for the submission of cost-based PMS allegations and 
supporting factual information. However, in order to administer section 
773(e) of the Act, Commerce must receive PMS allegations and supporting 
factual information with enough time to consider the submission. Thus, 
should an interested party wish to submit a cost-based PMS allegation 
and supporting new factual information pursuant to section 773(e) of 
the Act, it must do so no later than 20 days after submission of a 
respondent's initial section D questionnaire response.
    We note that a PMS allegation filed pursuant to sections 
773(a)(1)(B)(ii)(III) or 773(a)(1)(C)(iii) of the Act (i.e., a sales-
based PMS allegation) must be filed within 10 days of submission of a 
respondent's initial section B questionnaire response, in accordance 
with 19 CFR 351.301(c)(2)(i) and 19 CFR 351.404(c)(2).

Extensions of Time Limits

    Parties may request an extension of time limits before the 
expiration of a time limit established under 19 CFR 351.301, or as 
otherwise specified by Commerce. In general, an extension request will 
be considered untimely if it is filed after the expiration of the time 
limit established under 19 CFR 351.301, or as otherwise specified by 
Commerce.\62\ For submissions that are due from multiple parties 
simultaneously, an extension request will be considered untimely if it 
is filed after 10:00 a.m. ET on the due date. Under certain 
circumstances, Commerce may elect to specify a different time limit by 
which extension requests will be considered untimely for submissions 
which are due from multiple parties simultaneously. In such a case, we 
will inform parties in a letter or memorandum of the deadline 
(including a specified time) by which extension requests must be filed 
to be considered timely. An extension request must be made in a 
separate, standalone submission; under limited circumstances we will 
grant untimely filed requests for the extension of time limits, where 
we determine, based on 19 CFR 351.302, that extraordinary circumstances 
exist. Parties should review Commerce's regulations concerning the 
extension of time limits and the Time Limits Final Rule prior to 
submitting factual information in these investigations.\63\

Scope of the Investigations

    The merchandise covered by these investigations is crystalline 
silicon photovoltaic cells, and modules, laminates, and panels, 
consisting of crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells, whether or not 
partially or fully assembled into other products, including, but not 
limited to, modules, laminates, panels and building integrated 
materials.
    These investigations cover crystalline silicon photovoltaic 
cells of thickness equal to or greater than 20 micrometers, having a 
p/n junction formed by any means, whether or not the cell has 
undergone other processing, including, but not limited to, cleaning, 
etching, coating, and/or addition of materials (including, but not 
limited to, metallization and conductor patterns) to collect and 
forward the electricity that is generated by the cell.
    Merchandise under consideration may be described at the time of 
importation as parts for final finished products that are assembled 
after importation, including, but not limited to, modules, 
laminates, panels, building-integrated modules, building integrated
