Background

    The Commission instituted antidumping and countervailing duty 
investigations effective September 30, 2020, following receipt of 
petitions filed with the Commission and Commerce by the Wind Tower 
Trade Coalition (Arcosa Wind Towers Inc., Dallas, Texas; and Broadwind 
Towers, Inc., Manitowoc, Wisconsin). The Commission established a 
general schedule for the conduct of the final phase of its 
investigations on wind towers from India, Malaysia, and Spain following 
preliminary determinations by Commerce that imports of wind towers were 
subsidized by the governments of India and Malaysia. 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 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 a hearing. 
Consequently, since no party to the proceeding requested a hearing, the 
Commission canceled its hearing in connection with this proceeding (86 
FR 31730, June 9, 2021). Parties to this proceeding responded to 
written questions posed by the Commission in their posthearing briefs.
    The investigation schedules became staggered when Commerce did not 
align its countervailing duty investigation (86 FR 15887, March 25, 
2021) with its antidumping duty investigation regarding imports from 
Malaysia, its antidumping duty investigation regarding imports from 
Spain, or its countervailing and antidumping duty investigations 
regarding imports from India. On July 26, 2021, the Commission issued a 
final affirmative determination in its countervailing duty 
investigation of wind towers from Malaysia (86 FR 41087, July 30, 
2021). On August 9, 2021, the Commission issued a final affirmative 
determination in its antidumping duty investigation of wind towers from 
Spain (86 FR 44748, August 13, 2021). Following notification of final 
determinations by Commerce that imports of wind towers from India were 
being subsidized within the meaning of section 703(b) of the Act (19 
U.S.C. 1671b(b)) and that imports of wind towers from India and 
Malaysia were being sold at LTFV within the meaning of section 735(a) 
of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1673d(a)), notice of the supplemental scheduling 
of the final phase of the Commission's countervailing duty 
investigation regarding India and antidumping duty investigations 
regarding India and Malaysia 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 
October 20, 2021 (86 FR 58098).
    The Commission made these determinations pursuant to section 735(b) 
of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1673d(b)). It completed and filed its 
determinations in these investigations on November 29, 2021. The views 
of the Commission are contained in USITC Publication 5247 (November 
2021), entitled Utility Scale Wind Towers from India and Malaysia: 
Investigation Nos. 701-TA-660 and 731-TA-1543-1544 (Final).

    By order of the Commission.
