1. On 07/07/2022 (87 FR 40491), Commerce published in the Federal Register the final results of its administrative review of the countervailing duty order on crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells, whether or not assembled into modules, from the People's Republic of China. See message 2196401, dated 07/15/2022. 2. On 08/15/2022 (87 FR 50069), Commerce published in the Federal Register the amended final results of its administrative review of the countervailing duty order on crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells, whether or not assembled into modules, from the People's Republic of China. See message 2291414, dated 10/18/2022. 3. As a result of Commerce's amended final results of administrative review, the cash deposit rates have been revised for certain companies. Therefore, CBP is authorized to collect the difference in cash deposits for entries of crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells, whether or not assembled into modules, from the People's Republic of China produced and/or exported by the entities listed in paragraph 4 from 07/07/2022 (day of publication of original final results) through 08/14/2022 (day before publication of amended final results). CBP should calculate the amount to collect by determining the difference between the amount of cash deposit paid as a result of the application of the cash deposit rate in the final results and the amount due as a result of the application of the cash deposit rate in the amended final results. 4. Listed below are the deposit rates that were assigned to certain companies in the final results of review (see message 2196401, dated 07/15/2022) and the deposit rates that were assigned in the amended final results of administrative review (see message 2291414, dated 10/18/2022): Producer and/or Exporter: Suntech Power Co., Ltd.
