SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Effective December 7, 2020, the Commission 
established a general schedule for the conduct of the final phase of 
its investigations on silicon metal from Bosnia and Herzegovina, 
Iceland, Kazakhstan, and Malaysia \1\ following a preliminary 
determination by the U.S. Department of Commerce (``Commerce'') that 
imports of silicon metal from Bosnia and Herzegovina and Iceland were 
being sold at less than fair value (``LTFV'') \2\ and that imports of 
silicon metal from Kazakhstan were subsidized by the government of 
Kazakhstan.\3\ Notice of the scheduling of the final phase of the 
Commission's investigations and of a public hearing to be 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 of 
December 30, 2020 (85 FR 86578). In light of the restrictions on access 
to the Commission building due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Commission 
conducted its hearing through written testimony and video conference on 
February 22, 2021. All persons who requested the opportunity were 
permitted to participate.

    \3\ 85 FR 78122, December 3, 2020.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission subsequently issued its final determinations that an 
industry in the United States was materially injured by reason of 
imports of silicon metal provided for in subheading 2804.69.10 and 
2804.69.50 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States 
(``HTSUS'') from Bosnia and Herzegovina and Iceland that have been 
found by the Commerce to be sold in the United States at LTFV and by 
imports of silicon metal from Kazakhstan found to be subsidized by the 
government of Kazakhstan. Commerce has issued a final affirmative 
antidumping duty determination with respect to silicon metal from 
Malaysia.\4\ Accordingly, the Commission currently is issuing a 
supplemental schedule for its antidumping duty investigation on imports 
of silicon metal from Malaysia.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ 86 FR 33224, June 24, 2021. The Commission investigations 
became staggered when Commerce postponed its final determination 
regarding LTFV imports of silicon metal from Malaysia. 86 FR 7701, 
February 1, 2021.
