SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On November 7, 2024, Commerce published in the Federal Register the amended preliminary determination of the CVD investigation on solar cells from Malaysia.^[1] In the “Amended Cash Deposits and Suspension of Liquidation” section, we incorrectly stated that because the amended rates for Jinko Solar, all-others, and non-responsive companies resulted in increased cash deposits, they would be effective retroactively to October 4, 2024, the date of the publication of the Preliminary Determination.

Correction

In the Federal Register of November 7, 2024, in FR Doc 2024-25872, at 89 FR 88233, in the third column, correct the text in the second sentence of the section, “Amended Cash Deposits and Suspension of Liquidation” by removing and replacing it with “Because the amended rates for Jinko Solar, all-others, and non-responsive companies result in increased cash deposits, they will be effective on the date of the publication of this amended preliminary determination.”

Notification to Interested Parties

This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections 703(f) and 777(i) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19 CFR 351.224(e).

Dated: November 19, 2024.
