SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The Petitions
On December 29, 2011, the
Department of Commerce (the
‘‘Department’’) received petitions
concerning imports of utility scale wind
towers (‘‘wind towers’’) from the PRC
and Vietnam filed in proper form on
behalf of the Wind Tower Trade
Coalition (‘‘Petitioner’’). See Petitions

for the Imposition of Antidumping and
Countervailing Duties on Utility Scale
Wind Towers from the People’s
Republic of China and Antidumping
Duties on Utility Scale Wind Towers
from Vietnam filed on December 29,
2011 (the ‘‘Petitions’’). On January 5 and
6, 2012, the Department requested
additional information and clarification
of certain areas of the Petitions.
Petitioner filed responses to these
requests on January 11, 2012,
(hereinafter, ‘‘First Supplement to the
PRC Petition,’’ ‘‘First Supplement to the
Vietnam Petition,’’ and ‘‘First
Supplement to the AD/CVD Petitions,’’
respectively). The Department requested
additional clarifications from Petitioner
on January 12, 2012. See Memorandum
to the File from Meredith Rutherford,
titled ‘‘Phone Call to Counsel for the
Petitioner,’’ dated January 12, 2012.
Petitioner provided these additional
clarifications on January 12, 2012,
(hereinafter, ‘‘Second Supplement to the
PRC Petition’’ and ‘‘Second Supplement
to the Vietnam Petition,’’ respectively).
Further, the Department requested
additional information and
clarifications to the scope and the
Petitions on January 13, 2012. Petitioner
filed responses to these requests on
January 17, 2012, (hereinafter, ‘‘Second
Supplement to the AD/CVD Petitions,’’
‘‘Third Supplement to the PRC
Petition,’’ and ‘‘Third Supplement to the
Vietnam Petition,’’ respectively). The
Department requested additional
clarifications concerning the surrogate

United States at less than fair value,
within the meaning of section 731 of the
Act, and that such imports are
materially injuring, or threatening
material injury to, an industry in the
United States. Also, consistent with
section 732(b)(1) of the Act, the
Petitions are accompanied by
information reasonably available to
Petitioner supporting its allegations.
The Department finds that Petitioner
filed the Petitions on behalf of the
domestic industry because Petitioner is
