INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION
[Investigation Nos. 701-TA-772-774 and 731-TA-1756-1758 (Preliminary)]
Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaic Cells, Whether or Not Assembled
Into Modules From India, Indonesia, and Laos; 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,
[[Page 42984]]
from India, Indonesia, and Laos, provided for in subheadings 8541.42.00
and 8541.43.00 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 alleged to be subsidized by the governments of
India, Indonesia, and Laos.\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\ 90 FR 38736 and 90 FR 38745 (August 12, 2025).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 July 17, 2025, the Alliance for American Solar Manufacturing and
Trade \3\ 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 LTFV and subsidized
imports of crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells, whether or not
assembled into modules, from India, Indonesia, and Laos. Accordingly,
effective July 17, 2025, the Commission instituted countervailing duty
investigation Nos. 701-TA-772-774 and antidumping duty investigation
Nos. 731-TA-1756-1758 (Preliminary).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ Members include Hanwha Q CELLS USA Inc., First Solar, and
Mission Solar.
