Initiation of Changed Circumstances
Review
Pursuant to section 751(b)(1) of the
Act, Commerce will conduct a changed
circumstances review upon receipt of
information concerning, or a request
from, an interested party for a review of
an antidumping duty order which
shows changed circumstances sufficient
to warrant a review of the order. In its
request for a changed circumstances
review, URE provided information
indicating that URE was formed through
a merger between NSP, Gintech and
Solartech.3 This corporate restructuring
constitutes changed circumstances
warranting a review of the Order.4
Therefore, in accordance with section
751(b)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.216(d), we are initiating a changed
circumstances review based upon the
information contained in URE’s
submission.
In making a successor-in-interest
determination, Commerce examines
several factors, including, but not
limited to, changes in the following: (1)
Management; (2) production facilities;
(3) supplier relationships; and (4)
customer base.5 While no single factor
or combination of factors will
necessarily be dispositive in the
successor-in-interest determination,
generally, Commerce will consider the
new company to be the successor to the
previous company if the new company’s
resulting operation is not materially
dissimilar to that of its predecessor.6
Thus, if the record evidence
demonstrates that, with respect to the
production and sale of the subject
merchandise, the new company
operates as the same business entity as
the predecessor company, Commerce
may assign the new company the cash
deposit rate of its predecessor.7

URE has provided sufficient evidence
to warrant a review to determine
whether URE is the successor-in-interest
to NSP, Gintech and Solartech for the
purposes of the Order. Commerce
intends to publish in the Federal

of the antidumping duty changed
circumstances review, in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4) and
351.221(c)(3)(i), which will set forth
Commerce’s preliminary factual and
legal conclusions. Commerce will issue
its final results of the review in
accordance with the time limits set forth
in 19 CFR 351.216(e).
We are issuing this notice in
accordance with sections 751(b)(1) and

Scope of the Order
The merchandise covered by this order is
crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells, and
modules, laminates and/or panels consisting
of crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells,
whether or not partially or fully assembled
into other products, including building
integrated materials.
Subject merchandise includes 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.
Modules, laminates, and panels produced
in a third-country from cells produced in
Taiwan are covered by this order. However,
modules, laminates, and panels produced in
Taiwan from cells produced in a thirdcountry are not covered by this order.
Excluded from the scope of this order are
thin film photovoltaic products produced
from amorphous silicon (a-Si), cadmium
telluride (CdTe), or copper indium gallium
selenide (CIGS). Also excluded from the
scope of this order are crystalline silicon
photovoltaic cells, not exceeding 10,000 mm2
in surface area, that are permanently
integrated into a consumer good whose
function is other than power generation and
that consumes the electricity generated by
the integrated crystalline silicon photovoltaic
cells. Where more than one cell is
permanently integrated into a consumer
good, the surface area for purposes of this

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
The United States and Peru negotiated
the U.S.-Peru Trade Promotion
Agreement (the ‘‘Agreement’’), which
entered into force on February 1, 2009.
Subject to the rules of origin in Annex
4.1 of the Agreement, and pursuant to
the textile provisions of the Agreement,
fabric, yarn, and fiber produced in Peru
or the United States and traded between
the two countries are entitled to dutyfree tariff treatment. Annex 3–B of the
Agreement also lists specific fabrics,
yarns, and fibers that the two countries
agreed are not available in commercial
quantities in a timely manner from
producers in Peru or the United States.
The items listed are commercially
unavailable fabrics, yarns, and fibers.
Articles containing these items are
entitled to duty-free or preferential
treatment despite containing inputs not
produced in Peru or the United States.
The list of commercially unavailable
fabrics, yarns, and fibers may be
changed pursuant to the commercial
availability provision in Chapter 3,
Article 3.3, Paragraphs 5–7 of the
Agreement. Under this provision,
interested entities from Peru or the
United States have the right to request
that a specific fabric, yarn, or fiber be
added to, or removed from, the list of
commercially unavailable fabrics, yarns,
and fibers in Annex 3–B.
Chapter 3, Article 3.3, paragraph 7 of
the Agreement requires that the
President publish procedures for parties
to exercise the right to make these
requests. The President delegated the
responsibility for publishing the
procedures and administering
commercial availability requests to the
Committee for the Implementation of
Textile Agreements (‘‘CITA’’), which
issues procedures and acts on requests
through the U.S. Department of
Commerce, Office of Textiles and
Apparel (‘‘OTEXA’’) (See Proclamation
No. 8341, 74 FR 4105, January 22, 2009).
Interim procedures to implement these
responsibilities were published in the
Federal Register on August 14, 2009.

Requests Under the Commercial
Availability Provision of the United

States—Peru Trade Promotion
Agreement Implementation Act and
Estimate of Burden for Collection of
Information, 74 FR 41111, August 11,
2009).
The intent of the U.S.-Peru TPA
Commercial Availability Procedures is
to foster the use of U.S. and regional
products by implementing procedures
that allow products to be placed on or
removed from a product list, on a timely
basis, and in a manner that is consistent
with normal business practice. The
procedures are intended to facilitate the
transmission of requests; allow the
market to indicate the availability of the
supply of products that are the subject
of requests; make available promptly, to
interested entities and the public,
information regarding the requests for
products and offers received for those
products; ensure wide participation by
interested entities and parties; allow for
careful review and consideration of
information provided to substantiate
requests and responses; and provide
timely public dissemination of
information used by CITA in making
commercial availability determinations.
CITA must collect certain information
about fabric, yarn, or fiber technical
specifications and the production
capabilities of Peruvian and U.S. textile
producers to determine whether certain
fabrics, yarns, or fibers are available in
commercial quantities in a timely
manner in the United States or Peru,
subject to Section 203(o) of the
Agreement.
II. Method of Collection
Participants in a commercial
availability proceeding must submit
public versions of their Requests,
Responses or Rebuttals electronically
(via email) for posting on OTEXA’s
website. Confidential versions of those
submissions which contain business
confidential information must be
delivered in hard copy to the Office of
Textiles and Apparel (OTEXA) at the
U.S. Department of Commerce.
