1. Commerce does not automatically conduct administrative reviews of countervailing duty orders. Instead, reviews must be requested pursuant to section 751(a)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213.

2. In order to ensure that requisite countervailing duty entries with a country of origin (for Customs' purposes) other than the People's Republic of China can be properly reported as subject merchandise at the time of entry, Commerce designated third-country case numbers in the ACE case reference file for this countervailing duty order on crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells, whether or not assembled into modules, from the People's Republic of China. For more information regarding third countries, see message 2163303, dated 06/11/2012. Commerce has not received a request for an administrative review of the countervailing duty order for the period and on the merchandise identified below except for the firms listed in paragraph 3. Therefore, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(c), you are to liquidate all entries for all firms except those listed in paragraph 3 and assess countervailing duties on merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption at the cash deposit or bonding rate in effect on the date of entry:
