SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Effective April 15, 2022, the Commission 
established a general schedule for the conduct of the final phase of 
its countervailing and antidumping duty investigations on sodium 
nitrite from India and Russia (87 FR 23567, April 20, 2022), following 
a preliminary determination by the U.S. Department of Commerce 
(``Commerce'') that imports of sodium nitrite from Russia were being 
subsidized by the government of Russia (87 FR 22504, April 15, 2022). 
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 on April 20, 2022, (87 
FR 23567). In light of the restrictions on access to the Commission 
building due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Commission conducted its 
hearing through written testimony and video conference on June 21, 
2022. All persons who requested the opportunity were permitted to 
participate.
    Commerce issued a final affirmative countervailing duty 
determination with respect to sodium nitrite from Russia (87 FR 38375, 
June 28, 2022). The Commission subsequently issued its final 
determination that an industry in the United States was materially 
injured by reason of imports of sodium nitrite from Russia provided for 
in subheading 2834.10.10 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 
United States (``HTSUS'') that have been found by Commerce to be 
subsidized by the government of Russia (87 FR 51141, August 19, 2022).
    Commerce issued a final affirmative antidumping duty determination 
with respect to imports of sodium nitrite from Russia (87 FR 55781, 
September 12, 2022). Accordingly, the Commission currently is issuing a 
supplemental schedule for its antidumping duty investigation on imports 
of sodium nitrite from Russia.
    This supplemental schedule is as follows: the deadline for filing 
supplemental party comments on Commerce's final antidumping duty 
determination is September 21, 2022. Supplemental party comments may 
address only Commerce's final antidumping duty determination regarding 
imports of sodium nitrite from Russia. 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 investigation will be placed in the nonpublic 
record on October 7, 2022; and a public version will be issued 
thereafter.
    For further information concerning this investigation 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 investigation must be 
served on all other parties to the investigation (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.
