SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On August 26, 2020, Commerce published the Orders in the Federal
Register.\1\ On July 1, 2025, Commerce published the notice of
initiation of these first sunset reviews of the Orders, pursuant to
section 751(c) of the Act.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ See Utility Scale Wind Towers from Canada, Indonesia, the
Republic of Korea, and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam:
Antidumping Duty Orders, 85 FR 52546 (August 26, 2020) (Orders).
\2\ See Initiation of Five-Year (Sunset) Reviews, 90 FR 28722
(July 1, 2025).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On July 16, 2025, Commerce received timely and complete notices of
intent to participate in the sunset review for the domestic interested
party within the deadline specified in the 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i).\3\
The domestic interested party claimed the interested party status
within the meaning of section 771(9)(F) of the Act as a coalition of
U.S. producers of the domestic like product.\4\ On July 21, 2025,
Commerce notified the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) that it
had received a notice of intent to participate from the domestic
interested parties.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Towers from Canada: Notice of Intent to Participate in Sunset
Review,'' dated July 16, 2025; Domestic Interested Party's Letter

On July 30, 2025, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i), domestic
interested parties filed a timely and adequate substantive response.\6\
Commerce did not receive a substantive response from any respondent
interested party. On August 22, 2025, Commerce notified the ITC that it
did not receive substantive response from any respondent interested
parties.\7\ As a result, pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(B) of the Act
and 19 CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2), Commerce is conducting expedited
(120-day) sunset reviews of the Orders.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Due to the lapse in appropriations and Federal Government shutdown,
on November 14, 2025, Commerce tolled all deadlines in administrative
proceedings by 47 days.\8\ Additionally, due to a backlog of documents
that were electronically filed via Enforcement and Compliance's
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service
System (ACCESS) during the Federal Government shutdown, on November 24,
2025, Commerce tolled all deadlines in administrative proceedings by an
additional 21 days.\9\ Accordingly, the deadline for these final
results is now January 5, 2026.

Federal Government,'' dated November 14, 2025.
