SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Effective March 19, 2021, the Commission 
established a general schedule for the conduct of the final phase of 
its investigations on utility scale wind towers (``wind towers'') from 
India, Malaysia, and Spain (86 FR 20197, April 16, 2021), following 
preliminary determinations by the U.S. Department of Commerce 
(``Commerce'') that imports of subject wind towers from India and 
Malaysia were subsidized by the governments of India and Malaysia (86 
FR 15887, March 25, 2021; and 86 FR 15897, March 25, 2021) and imports 
of subject wind towers from Spain were being sold in the United States 
at less than fair value (86 FR 17354, April 2, 2021). 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 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 an actual hearing. Consequently, since 
no party to the investigation requested a hearing, the Commission 
canceled its hearing in connection with these investigations (86 FR 
31730, June 15, 2021). Parties to these investigations responded to 
written questions posed by the Commission in their posthearing briefs.
    The Commission subsequently issued its final determination that an 
industry in the United States was materially injured by reason of 
imports of wind towers from Malaysia provided for in subheadings 
7308.20.00 and 8502.31.00 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 
United States (``HTSUS'') that have been found by Commerce to be 
subsidized by the government of Malaysia (86 FR 41087, July 30, 2021).
    The Commission subsequently issued its final determination that an 
industry in the United States was materially injured by reason of 
imports of wind towers from Spain provided for in subheadings 
7308.20.00 and 8502.31.00 of the HTSUS that have been found by Commerce 
to be sold in the United States at less than fair value (``LTFV'') (86 
FR 44748, August 13, 2021).
    Commerce recently has issued a final affirmative countervailing 
duty determination with respect to wind towers from India (86 FR 56896, 
October 13, 2021) and final affirmative antidumping duty determinations 
with respect to wind towers from India and Malaysia (86 FR 56890, 
October 13, 2021; and 86 FR 56894, October 13, 2021). Accordingly, the 
Commission currently is issuing a supplemental schedule for its 
countervailing duty investigation on imports of wind towers from India 
and antidumping duty investigations on imports of wind towers from 
India and Malaysia.
    This supplemental schedule is as follows: The deadline for filing

supplemental party comments on Commerce's final countervailing and 
antidumping duty determinations is October 25, 2021. Supplemental party 
comments may address only Commerce's final countervailing duty 
determination regarding imports of wind towers from India and 
antidumping duty determinations regarding imports of wind towers from 
India and Malaysia. 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 November 8, 
2021, and a public version will be issued thereafter.

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

of title VII of the Tariff Act of 1930; this notice is published
