It
is
the
second
time
the
US
Department
of
Commerce
(DOC)
has
changed
the
schedule
of
its
investigation.
The
preliminary
determination
in
the
case,
which
tests
whether
Chinese
crystalline
silicon
PV
cells
and
modules
benefitted
from
illegal
government
subsidies
and
were
sold
below
cost
on
the
US
market,
had
originally
been
scheduled
for
12
January,
before
being
delayed
to
13
February.
Under
the
trade
action
SolarWorld
has
taken,
it
falls
to
the
DOC
to
determine
whether
the
alleged
illegal
subsidies
and
dumping
occurred,
and,
if
so
the
dumping
margin
and
subsidy
amount.
