SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Effective February 24, 2021, the Commission 
established a general schedule for the conduct of the final phase of 
its investigations on methionine from France, Japan, and Spain \1\ 
following a preliminary determination by the U.S. Department of 
Commerce (``Commerce'') that imports of methionine from France were 
being sold at less than fair value (``LTFV'').\2\ 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 March 9, 2021 (86 FR 13585). 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 May 11, 2021. All persons who requested the opportunity 
were permitted to participate.

    The Commission subsequently issued its final determination that an 
industry in the United States was materially injured by reason of 
imports of methionine provided for in subheadings 2930.40.00 and 
2930.90.46 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States 
(``HTSUS'') from France that have been found by Commerce to be sold in 
the United States at LTFV.\3\

    \3\ 86 FR 35826, July 7, 2021.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Commerce has issued final affirmative antidumping duty 
determinations with respect to methionine from Japan and Spain.\4\ 
Accordingly, the Commission currently is issuing a supplemental 
schedule for its antidumping duty investigations on imports of 
methionine from Japan and Spain.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ 86 FR 38983 and 86 FR 38985, July 23, 2021. The Commission 
investigations became staggered when Commerce postponed its final 
determinations regarding LTFV imports of methionine from Japan and 
Spain.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    This supplemental schedule is as follows: The deadline for filing 
supplemental party comments on Commerce's final antidumping duty 
determinations is August 6, 2021. Supplemental party comments may 
address only Commerce's final antidumping duty determinations regarding 
imports of methionine from Japan and 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 these investigations regarding subject imports from Japan and 
Spain will be placed in the nonpublic record on August 17, 2021; a 
public version will be issued thereafter.

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

No in-person paper-based filings or paper copies of any electronic 
filings will be accepted until further notice.
    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.
    Authority: These investigations are being conducted under authority 
of title VII of the Tariff Act of 1930; this notice is published
