    On the basis of the record \1\ developed in the subject

(``Commission'') determines, pursuant to the Tariff Act of 1930 (``the 
Act''), that an industry in the United States is materially injured by 
reason of imports of utility scale wind towers from Malaysia, provided 
for in subheadings 7308.20.00 and 8502.31.00 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 
government of Malaysia.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The record is defined in Sec.  207.2(f) of the Commission's 
Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 207.2(f)).

Background

    The Commission instituted this investigation 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 scheduled the final phase of the investigation following 
notification of a preliminary determination by Commerce that imports of 
utility scale wind towers from Malaysia were being subsidized within 
the meaning of section 703(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1671b(b)). Notice 
of the scheduling of the final phase of the Commission's investigation 
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 investigation requested a hearing, 
the Commission canceled its hearing in connection with this 
investigation (86 FR 31730). Parties to this investigation responded to 
written questions posed by the Commission in their posthearing briefs.
    The Commission made this determination pursuant to Sec.  705(b) of 
the Act (19 U.S.C. 1671d(b)). It completed and filed its determination 
in this investigation on July 26, 2021. The views of the Commission are 
contained in USITC Publication 5215, July 2021, entitled Utility Scale 
Wind Towers from Malaysia: Investigation No. 701-TA-661 (Final).

    By order of the Commission.

    Issued: July 26, 2021.
Lisa Barton,
Secretary to the Commission.
