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). Parties to these investigations responded to written questions 
posed by the Commission in their posthearing briefs.
    Commerce has issued a final affirmative countervailing duty 
determination with respect to wind towers from Malaysia (86 FR 30593, 
June 9, 2021). The Commission is scheduled to issue its final 
determination as to whether an industry in the United States is 
materially injured or threatened with material injury, or the 
establishment of an industry in the United States is materially 
retarded, 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 by July 26, 
2021.
    Commerce recently has issued a final affirmative antidumping duty 
determination with respect to wind towers from Spain (86 FR 33656, June 
25, 2021). Accordingly, the Commission currently is issuing a 
supplemental schedule for its antidumping duty investigation on imports 
of wind towers from Spain.
    This supplemental schedule is as follows: The deadline for filing 
supplemental party comments on Commerce's final antidumping duty 
determination is July 7, 2021. Supplemental party comments may address 
only Commerce's final antidumping duty determination regarding imports 
of wind towers from Spain. 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 this 
investigation regarding subject imports from Spain will be placed in 
the nonpublic record on July 19, 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, https://edis.usitc.gov.) 
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.
