SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Effective March 19, 2021, the Commission
established a general schedule for the conduct of the final phase of
its investigations on utility scale wind towers (``wind towers'') from
India, Malaysia, and Spain (86 FR 20197, April 16, 2021), following
preliminary determinations by the U.S. Department of Commerce
(``Commerce'') that imports of subject wind towers from India and
Malaysia were subsidized by the governments of India and Malaysia (86
FR 15887, March 25, 2021; and 86 FR 15897, March 25, 2021) and imports
of subject wind towers from Spain were being sold in the United States
at less than fair value (86 FR 17354, April 2, 2021). Notice of the
scheduling of the final phase of the Commission's investigations and of
a public hearing held in connection therewith was given by posting
copies of the notice in the Office of the Secretary, U.S. International
Trade Commission, Washington, DC, and by publishing the notice in the
Federal Register on April 16, 2021 (86 FR 20197). Counsel for the Wind
Tower Trade Coalition withdrew its previously filed request to appear
at the hearing, after no other parties submitted a request to appear,
and indicated a willingness to submit written responses to any
Commission questions in lieu of an actual hearing. Consequently, since
no party to the investigation requested a hearing, the Commission
canceled its hearing in connection with these investigations (86 FR
31730, June 15, 2021). Parties to these investigations responded to
written questions posed by the Commission in their posthearing briefs.
The Commission subsequently issued its final determination that an
industry in the United States was materially injured by reason of
imports of wind towers from Malaysia provided for in subheadings
7308.20.00 and 8502.31.00 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (``HTSUS'') that have been found by Commerce to be
subsidized by the government of Malaysia (86 FR 41087, July 30, 2021).
The Commission subsequently issued its final determination that an
industry in the United States was materially injured by reason of
imports of wind towers from Spain provided for in subheadings
7308.20.00 and 8502.31.00 of the HTSUS that have been found by Commerce
to be sold in the United States at less than fair value (``LTFV'') (86
FR 44748, August 13, 2021).
Commerce recently has issued a final affirmative countervailing
duty determination with respect to wind towers from India (86 FR 56896,
October 13, 2021) and final affirmative antidumping duty determinations
with respect to wind towers from India and Malaysia (86 FR 56890,
October 13, 2021; and 86 FR 56894, October 13, 2021). Accordingly, the
Commission currently is issuing a supplemental schedule for its
countervailing duty investigation on imports of wind towers from India
and antidumping duty investigations on imports of wind towers from
India and Malaysia.
This supplemental schedule is as follows: The deadline for filing
[[Page 58099]]
supplemental party comments on Commerce's final countervailing and
antidumping duty determinations is October 25, 2021. Supplemental party
comments may address only Commerce's final countervailing duty
determination regarding imports of wind towers from India and
antidumping duty determinations regarding imports of wind towers from
India and Malaysia. These supplemental final comments may not contain
new factual information and may not exceed five (5) pages in length.
The supplemental staff report in the final phase of the current
investigations will be placed in the nonpublic record on November 8,
2021, and a public version will be issued thereafter.
For further information concerning these investigations see the
Commission's notice cited above and the Commission's Rules of Practice
and Procedure, part 201, subparts A and B (19 CFR part 201), and part
207, subparts A and C (19 CFR part 207).
Additional written submissions to the Commission, including
requests pursuant to section 201.12 of the Commission's rules, shall
not be accepted unless good cause is shown for accepting such
submissions, or unless the submission is pursuant to a specific request
by a Commissioner or Commission staff.
In accordance with sections 201.16(c) and 207.3 of the Commission's
rules, each document filed by a party to the investigations must be
served on all other parties to the investigations (as identified by
either the public or BPI service list), and a certificate of service
must be timely filed. The Secretary will not accept a document for
filing without a certificate of service.
Please note the Secretary's Office will accept only electronic
filings during this time. Filings must be made through the Commission's
Electronic Document Information System (EDIS, <a href="https://edis.usitc.gov">https://edis.usitc.gov</a>.)
No in-person paper-based filings or paper copies of any electronic
filings will be accepted until further notice.
Authority: These investigations are being conducted under authority
of title VII of the Tariff Act of 1930; this notice is published
pursuant to section 207.21 of the Commission's rules.
By order of the Commission.
Issued: October 14, 2021.
Lisa Barton,
Secretary to the Commission.
