On December 29, 2011, a petition was 

filed with the Commission and 

Commerce by Broadwind Towers, Inc., 

Manitowoc, WI; DMI Industries, Fargo, 

ND; Katana Summit LLC, Columbus, 

NE; and Trinity Structural Towers, Inc., 

Dallas, TX, alleging that an industry in 

the United States is materially injured 

or threatened with material injury by 

reason of LTFV imports of utility scale 

wind towers from China and Vietnam. 

Accordingly, effective December 29, 

2011, the Commission instituted

of the Secretary, U.S. International 

Trade Commission, Washington, DC, 

and by publishing the notice in the 

Federal Register of January 6, 2012 (77 

FR 805). The conference was held in 

Washington, DC, on January 19, 2012, 

and all persons who requested the 

opportunity were permitted to appear in 

person or by counsel. 

The Commission transmitted its 

determinations in these investigations to 

the Secretary of Commerce on February 

13, 2012. The views of the Commission 

are contained in USITC Publication 

4304 (February 2012), entitled Utility
