Based on the information provided to 

BOEM in the unsolicited lease 

application from Hecate Energy and the 

response to the RFCI from Invenergy, 

BOEM finds that both qualified entities 

have submitted all the information that 

is required by the Department 

regulations (30 CFR 585.231); therefore, 

BOEM finds there is competitive 

interest in WEA options C and D. As a 

result of this finding, BOEM will move 

forward with the competitive lease 

issuance process following the 

procedures set forth in 30 CFR 585.210 

through 585.226, including holding the 

next competitive lease sale in the Gulf 

of Mexico as soon as 2026.

731–TA–1720–1723 (Preliminary)] 

Hard Empty Capsules From Brazil, 

China, India, and Vietnam 

Determinations 

On the basis of the record 1 developed 

in the subject investigations, the United 

States International Trade Commission 

(‘‘Commission’’) determines, pursuant 

to the Tariff Act of 1930 (‘‘the Act’’), 

that there is a reasonable indication that 

an industry in the United States is 

materially injured by reason of imports 

of hard empty capsules from China, 

India and Vietnam, and that there is a 

reasonable indication that an industry 

in the United States is threatened with 

material injury by reason of imports of 

hard empty capsules from Brazil 

provided for in subheadings 9602.00.10 

and 9602.00.50 of the Harmonized Tariff 

Schedule of the United States, that are 

alleged to be sold in the United States 

at less than fair value (‘‘LTFV’’) and 

imports of the subject merchandise from 

Brazil, China, India, and Vietnam that 

are alleged to be subsidized by the 

governments of Brazil, China, India, and 

Vietnam.2

Commencement of Final Phase 

Investigations 

Pursuant to section 207.18 of the 

Commission’s rules, the Commission 

also gives notice of the commencement 

of the final phase of its investigations. 

The Commission will issue a final phase 

notice of scheduling, which will be 

published in the Federal Register as 

provided in § 207.21 of the 

Commission’s rules, upon notice from 

the U.S. Department of Commerce 

(‘‘Commerce’’) of affirmative 

preliminary determinations in the 

investigations under §§ 703(b) or 733(b) 

of the Act, or, if the preliminary 

determinations are negative, upon 

notice of affirmative final 

determinations in those investigations 

under §§ 705(a) or 735(a) of the Act. 

Parties that filed entries of appearance 

in the preliminary phase of the 

investigations need not enter a separate 

appearance for the final phase of the 

investigations. Any other party may file 

an entry of appearance for the final 

phase of the investigations after 

publication of the final phase notice of 

scheduling. Industrial users, and, if the 

merchandise under investigation is sold 

at the retail level, representative 

consumer organizations have the right 

to appear as parties in Commission 

antidumping and countervailing duty 

investigations. The Secretary will 

prepare a public service list containing 

the names and addresses of all persons, 

or their representatives, who are parties 

to the investigations. As provided in 

section 207.20 of the Commission’s 

rules, the Director of the Office of 

Investigations will circulate draft 

questionnaires for the final phase of the 

investigations to parties to the 

investigations, placing copies on the 

Commission’s Electronic Document 

Information System (EDIS, https://

edis.usitc.gov), for comment.

opportunity were permitted to

The Commission made these
