SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Effective June 7, 2022, the Commission 
established a general schedule for the conduct of the final phase of 
its antidumping and countervailing duty investigations on steel nails 
from India, Oman, Sri Lanka, Thailand, and Turkey (87 FR 36882, June 
21, 2022), following preliminary determinations by the U.S. Department 
of Commerce (``Commerce'') that that certain benefits which constitute 
subsidies within the meaning of Sec.  703 of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1671b) 
are being provided to manufacturers, producers, or exporters in India, 
Oman, Sri Lanka, and Turkey of steel nails. 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 June 21, 2022 (87 FR 36882). In light of the restrictions 
on access to the Commission building due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 
Commission conducted its hearing through video conference on August 17, 
2022. All persons who requested the opportunity were permitted to 
participate.
    Commerce issued final affirmative countervailing duty 
determinations with respect to steel nails from India, Oman, Sri Lanka, 
and Turkey (87 FR 51333, 87 FR 51335, 87 FR 51337, and 87 FR 51339, 
August 22, 2022) and a final negative countervailing duty determination 
with respect to steel nails from Thailand (87 FR 51343, August 22, 
2022). The Commission issued a notice of termination for the 
countervailing investigation of steel nails from Thailand (87 FR 55036, 
September 8, 2022). The Commission subsequently issued its final 
determinations that an industry in the United States was not materially 
injured or threatened with material injury by reason of imports of 
steel nails from India, Oman, and Turkey, provided for in subheadings 
7317.00.55, 7317.00.65, and 7317.00.75 of the Harmonized Tariff 
Schedule of the United States, that have been found by the U.S. 
Department of Commerce (``Commerce'') to be subsidized by the 
governments of India, Oman, and Turkey. The Commission further found 
that imports of steel nails from Sri Lanka that Commerce has determined 
are subsidized by the government of Sri Lanka are negligible and 
terminated that investigation (87 FR 61631, October 12, 2022).
    Commerce issued final affirmative antidumping duty determinations 
with respect to imports of steel nails from India, Thailand, and Turkey 
(87 FR 78937, 87 FR 78929, and 87 FR 78935, December 23, 2022). 
Commerce issued a final negative antidumping duty determination with 
respect to imports of steel nails from Sri Lanka (87 FR 78933, December 
23, 2022). The Commission has issued a notice of termination for the 
antidumping duty investigation of steel nails from Sri Lanka 
(publication pending). Accordingly, the Commission currently is issuing 
a supplemental schedule for its antidumping duty investigations on 
imports of steel nails from India, Thailand, and Turkey.
    This supplemental schedule is as follows: the deadline for filing 
supplemental party comments on Commerce's final antidumping duty 
determinations is January 10, 2023. Supplemental party comments may 
address only Commerce's final antidumping duty determinations regarding 
imports of steel nails from India, Thailand, and Turkey. 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 the current investigations will be placed in the 
nonpublic record on January 18, 2023, and a public version will be 
issued thereafter.
    For further information concerning this proceeding 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: This proceeding is 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.

    Issued: January 5, 2023.
