The U.S. International Trade Commission (USITC) today released its report on the probable economic effect on the U.S. industry producing crystalline silicon photovoltaic (CSPV) cells and modules of modifying the safeguard remedy imposed by the President in 2018 on imports of these products.

The report, Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaic Cells, Whether or Not Partially or Fully Assembled into Other Products: Advice on the Probable Economic Effect of Certain Modifications to the Safeguard Measure, was requested by the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) on December 6, 2019. 

The USTR asked the USITC to provide its advice on the probable economic effect on the domestic CSPV cell and module manufacturing industry of modifying the safeguard remedy imposed on imports of these products by the President following a USITC global safeguard investigation concerning them.

Specifically, the USTR requested that the Commission analyze the effect of increasing the level of the tariff-rate quota applicable to imports of CSPV cells from the current 2.5 gigawatts (GW) to 4, 5, or 6 GW, without other changes to the remedy.  The original remedy imposed, which took effect on February 7, 2018, was (a) a tariff-rate quota on imports of CSPV cells not partially or fully assembled into other products and (b) an increase in duties on imports of CSPV modules for a period of four years.  See Proclamation 9693 of January 23, 2018.

Under section 204(a)(4) of the Trade Act of 1974, the Commission, upon request of the President, is required to advise the President of its judgment as to the probable economic effect on the industry concerned of any reduction, modification, or termination of safeguard measures imposed by the President under the Act. 

Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaic Cells, Whether or Not Partially or Fully Assembled into Other Products: Advice on the Probable Economic Effect of Certain Modifications to the Safeguard Measure (Inv.

The U.S. International Trade Commission (USITC) today determined that revoking the existing antidumping duty order on imports of small diameter graphite electrodes from China would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury within a reasonably foreseeable time. 

As a result of the Commission’s affirmative determination, the existing antidumping duty order on imports of this product from China will remain in place. 

Chairman David S. Johanson and Commissioners Rhonda K. Schmidtlein, Jason E. Kearns, Randolph J. Stayin, and Amy A. Karpel voted in the affirmative.  

Today’s action comes under the five-year (sunset) review process required by the Uruguay Round Agreements Act.  See the attached page for background on this five-year (sunset) review.

The Commission’s public report Small Diameter Graphite Electrodes from China (Inv. No. 731-TA-1143 (Second Review), USITC Publication 5035, March 2020) will contain the views of the Commission and information developed during the review.

BACKGROUND

The Uruguay Round Agreements Act requires the Department of Commerce to revoke an antidumping or countervailing duty order, or terminate a suspension agreement, after five years unless the Department of Commerce and the USITC determine that revoking the order or terminating the suspension agreement would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping or subsidies (Commerce) and of material injury (USITC) within a reasonably foreseeable time.

The Commission’s institution notice in five-year reviews requests that interested parties file responses with the Commission concerning the likely effects of revoking the order under review as well as other information.  Generally within 95 days from institution, the Commission will determine whether the responses it has received reflect an adequate or inadequate level of interest in a full review.  If responses to the USITC’s notice of institution are adequate, or if other circumstances warrant a full review, the Commission conducts a full review, which includes a public hearing and issuance of questionnaires.

The Commission generally does not hold a hearing or conduct further investigative activities in expedited reviews.  Commissioners base their injury determination in expedited reviews on the facts available, including the Commission’s prior injury and review determinations, responses received to its notice of institution, data collected by staff in connection with the review, and information provided by the Department of Commerce.

The five-year (sunset) review concerning Small Diameter Graphite Electrodes from China was instituted on May 1, 2019.

On August 5, 2019, the Commission voted to conduct a full review. Chairman David S. Johanson and Commissioners Irving A. Williamson, Meredith M. Broadbent, and Jason E. Kearns concluded that the domestic group response was adequate and the respondent group response was inadequate, but that circumstances warranted a full review.  Commissioner Rhonda K. Schmidtlein concluded that the domestic group response was adequate and the respondent group response was inadequate and voted for an expedited review.

A record of the Commission’s vote to conduct a full review is available from the Office of the Secretary, U.S. International Trade Commission, 500 E Street SW, Washington, DC 20436.  Requests may be made by telephone by calling 202-205-1802.
