SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On February 8, 2017, the Department published in the Federal
Register a notice of opportunity to request an administrative review of
the antidumping duty order on certain crystalline silicon photovoltaic
products from the PRC.\1\ The Department received a timely request from
Shenzhen Topray Solar Co., Ltd. (Topray Solar) and SolarWorld Americas,
Inc. (the petitioner), in accordance with section 751(a) of the Tariff
Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 351.213(b), to conduct an
administrative review of this antidumping duty order.\2\ On March 24,
2017, Topray Solar timely withdrew its request for an administrative
review.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or
Suspend Investigation; Opportunity To Request Administrative Review,
82 FR 9709 (February 8, 2017).
\2\ See Letter from Topray Solar, regarding ``Crystalline
Silicon Photovoltaic Products from the People's Republic of China
Request for Administrative Review,'' dated February 27, 2017; see
also Letter from the petitioner, regarding ``Certain Crystalline
Silicon Photovoltaic Products from the People's Republic of China:
Request for Administrative Review,'' dated February 28, 2017.
\3\ See Letter from Topray Solar, regarding ``Crystalline
Silicon Photovoltaic Products form the People's Republic of China
Withdrawal of Request for Administrative Review,'' dated March 24,
2017.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On April 10, 2017, the Department published in the Federal Register
a notice of initiation \4\ of an administrative review with respect to
27 companies. Because Topray Solar timely withdrew its request for an
administrative review before the Department published its initiation
notice, the Department did not initiate an administrative review with
respect to Topray Solar. On May 11, 2017, the petitioner timely
withdrew its request for an administrative review of all 27 companies
for which it had requested a review.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Administrative Reviews, 82 FR 17188 (April 10, 2017).
\5\ See Letter from the petitioner, regarding ``Certain
Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaic Products from the People's Republic
of China: Withdrawal of Administrative Review Request,'' dated May
11, 2017.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rescission of Administrative Review
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Department will rescind an
administrative review, in whole or in part, if the parties that
requested a review withdraw the request within 90 days of the date of
publication of the notice of initiation of the requested review. Topray
Solar and the petitioner withdrew their requests for review by the 90-
day deadline, and no other parties requested an administrative review
of this order. Therefore, we are rescinding the administrative review
of the antidumping duty order on certain crystalline silicon
photovoltaic products from the PRC covering the period February 1, 2016
to January 31, 2017.
Assessment
The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries.
Antidumping duties shall be assessed at an amount equal to the cash
deposit of estimated antidumping duties required at the time of entry,
or withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption, in accordance with 19
CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i). The Department intends to issue appropriate
assessment instructions directly to CBP 15 days after the date of
publication of this notice in the Federal Register.
Notification to Importers
This notice serves as the only reminder to importers of their
responsibility, under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2), to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation
of the relevant entries during this review period. Failure to comply
with this requirement may result in the presumption that reimbursement
of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of double
antidumping duties.
Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Orders
This notice serves as the only reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely written
notification of the return or destruction of APO materials or
conversion to judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to
comply with the regulations and the terms of an APO is a sanctionable
violation.
This notice is published in accordance with section 777(i)(1) of
the Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).
Dated: August 9, 2017.

Senior Director performing the duties of Deputy Assistant Secretary for
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Operations.
