**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:**
**Background**
On June 26, 2024, Commerce published the preliminary results of these CCRs, determining that it would be appropriate to amend the Appendix V certification, provided in *Solar Cells Circumvention,*[^1] by adding new wafer suppliers identified by Hanwha Q CELLS Sdn. Bhd. and Hanwha Q Cells USA, Inc. (collectively, Hanwha). [^2] We provided all interested parties with an opportunity to comment. On July 26, 2024, Hanwha submitted a case brief. [^3] No other interested party filed a case or rebuttal brief.

**Amendment of the Appendix V Certification**
Hanwha requested that the Appendix V Certification provided for Hanwha in the *Solar Cells Circumvention* be amended to include additional unaffiliated wafer suppliers. [^6]*See* Appendix II for the Appendix V Certification. [^7] Commerce is affording business proprietary information treatment to the names of the wafer supplier/exporters. For a table of the names of the additional wafer suppliers/exporters please refer to the proprietary version of this certification on file electronically via Enforcement and Compliance's Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS).
[^6]*See* Hanwha's Letter, “Resubmission of Hanwha Q CELLS USA, Inc. and Hanwha Q CELLS Malaysia Sdn. Bhd.'s Request for Changed Circumstances Review,” dated May 6, 2024 (Hanwha's CCR Requests).
[^7] We have afforded business proprietary information (BPI) treatment to the names of the wafer exporters. We note that Commerce uses the term wafer exporter in our Appendix V certification, and here we use the term wafer supplier interchangeably with wafer exporter in this context. *See* Memorandum, “Final Results of Changed Circumstances Reviews—BPI Addendum,” dated concurrently with this notice.
**Analysis of Comments Received**
All issues raised in the case brief are addressed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum, [^8] and are listed in Appendix I. The Issues and Decision Memorandum is a public document and is on file electronically via ACCESS. ACCESS is available to registered users at *https://access.trade.gov.* In addition, a complete version of the Issues and Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly at *https://access.trade.gov/public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx.*
[^8]*See* Memorandum, “Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaic Cells, Whether or Not Assembled Into Modules, from the People's Republic of China: Final Results of Changed Circumstances Reviews,” dated concurrently with, and hereby adopted by, this notice (Issues and Decision Memorandum).
**Final Results of CCR**
Upon review of the comments received, Commerce continues to determine it is appropriate to amend the Appendix V certification for Hanwha, provided in *Solar Cells Circumvention,* by adding the additional unaffiliated wafer suppliers identified in Hanwha's CCR requests. We continue to find it appropriate not to amend the Appendix V certifications to require that Hanwha only certify that the wafers used to produce solar cells for export to the United States are Chinese in origin.
**Application of the Final Results of CCR**
Hanwha requested that Commerce apply the final results of these reviews retroactively to the date of publication of the final determination in *Solar Cells Circumvention,* or alternatively, to the date it filed its changed circumstance requests ( *i.e.,* May 6, 2024). Commerce has determined it is appropriate to retroactively apply the amended Appendix V certification to May 6, 2024. For further details, please see the Issues and Decision Memorandum.
For all solar cells or solar modules from Malaysia that were entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption during the period May 6, 2024 (the date Hanwha filed these CCR requests) through the date of publication of the final results of these CCRs in the *Federal Register* , where the entry has not been liquidated (and entries for which liquidation has not become final), certifications pursuant to this CCR, should be completed and signed as soon as practicable, but not later than 45 days after the date of publication of these final determinations in the *Federal Register* .
On December 8, 2022, Commerce implemented certification requirements for certain entries of subject merchandise. [^9] The importer, or the importer's agent, must submit any required certifications to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) as part of the entry process by uploading them into the document imaging system in CBP's Automated Commercial Environment at the time of entry summary filing. Consistent with CBP's procedures, importers shall identify entries required to have certifications by using importers' additional declaration (record 54) AD/CVD Certification Designation (type code 06) when filing entry summary. [^10]

[^10]*See* Cargo System Messaging Service #59384253, dated February 12, 2024; *see also Announcing an Importer's Additional Declaration in the Automated Commercial Environment Specific to Antidumping/Countervailing Duty Certifications,* 89 FR 7372 (February 2, 2024).
**Instructions to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP)**
Because we determine that there are changed circumstances that warrant a retroactive change to Hanwha's Appendix V certification, we will instruct CBP to liquidate without regard to antidumping and countervailing duties, and to refund any estimated antidumping and countervailing duties on, all unliquidated entries of the merchandise covered by the amended certification, effective May 6, 2024. Commerce intends to issue instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days after the date of publication of the final result of these CCRs in the *Federal Register* . If a timely summons is filed at the U.S. Court of International Trade, the instructions will direct CBP not to liquidate relevant entries until the time for parties to file a request for a statutory injunction has expired ( *i.e.,* within 90 days of publication).
**Administrative Protective Order**
This notice serves as a final reminder to parties subject to an 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 terms of an APO is a sanctionable violation.
**Notification to Interested Parties**
This notice is published in accordance with sections 751(b)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(1), and 19 CFR 351.221(c)(3).
Dated: November 26, 2024.
