1. This is an overall correction to message 5215301, dated 08/03/2015.

2. Commerce published in the Federal Register (80 FR 41003) on 07/14/2015 the final results of administrative review of certain producers and/or exporters subject to the countervailing duty order on crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells, whether or not assembled into modules, from China for the period 03/26/2012 through 12/31/2012. Subsequent to completion of that review, Commerce incorrectly issued instructions revising the “all others” cash deposit rates for subject merchandise from China and third countries containing cells produced in China.

3. As discussed in paragraph 2 of Message No. 2346303, dated 12/11/2012, Commerce considers modules, laminates, and panels produced in a third-country from cells produced in China to be covered by the scope of this order. However, modules, laminates, and panels produced in China from cells produced in a third-country are not covered by the scope of the order. Since importers may import modules, laminates, and panels produced in a third country from subject solar cells produced in China and this merchandise may have a non-Chinese country of origin for Customs' purposes, third country case numbers have been established to allow such merchandise to be properly claimed as subject merchandise upon entry.

5. As a result of Commerce's review, the cash deposit rates were revised for certain producers and/or exporters. However, the rates were not revised for the “all others” Chinese and third-country companies. Accordingly, message 5215301, dated 08/03/2015, incorrectly directed a change in the cash deposit rate for those companies.

6. This message is to correct the cash deposit rate for these companies retroactively to the date of the incorrect cash deposit change. Therefore, for shipments of crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells, whether or not assembled into modules, from the third country exporters and/or producers identified below, entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after 07/14/2015, the required cash deposit should be revised as identified below:
