SUMMARY The Department of Commerce is conducting an administrative review of the countervailing duty (CVD) order on crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells, whether or not assembled into modules (solar cells) from the People’s Republic of China (China), covering the period of review (POR) January 1, 2017 through December 31, 2017. The mandatory respondents are JA Solar Technology Yangzhou Co., Ltd. (JA Solar) and Risen Energy Co., Ltd. (Risen Energy). This is the sixth administrative review of the CVD order on solar cells from China. We preliminarily find that JA Solar and Risen Energy received countervailable subsidies during the POR. If these preliminary results are adopted in the final results of this review, we will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to assess countervailing duties on all appropriate entries of subject merchandise during the POR. Interested parties are invited to comment on these preliminary results. Unless the deadline is extended pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), we will issue the final results of this review by no later than 120 days after the publication of these preliminary results in the Federal Register.
