[FR Doc. 2021–17303 Filed 8–12–21; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 7020–02–P INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION [Investigation No. 731–TA–1545 (Final)] Utility Scale Wind Towers From Spain; Determination On the basis of the record 1 developed in the subject investigation, the United States International Trade Commission (‘‘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 (‘‘wind towers’’) from Spain, 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 sold in the United States at less than fair value (‘‘LTFV’’). 2 Background The Commission instituted antidumping and countervailing duty investigations 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 established a general schedule for the conduct of the final phase of its investigations on wind towers from India, Malaysia, and Spain following preliminary determinations by Commerce that imports of wind towers were subsidized by the governments of India and Malaysia. 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 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 proceeding requested a hearing, the Commission canceled its hearing in connection with this proceeding (86 FR 31730, June 9, 2021). Parties to this proceeding responded to written questions posed by the Commission in their posthearing briefs. The investigation schedules became staggered when Commerce did not align its countervailing duty investigation with its antidumping duty investigation regarding imports from Malaysia (86 FR 27828, May 24, 2021), nor with its antidumping duty investigation regarding imports from Spain (86 FR 17373, Apr. 2, 2021), while it aligned its countervailing duty investigation regarding imports from India with that of its corresponding postponed antidumping duty investigation, and postponed its antidumping duty investigation regarding Malaysia (86 FR 15897, Mar. 25, 2021; 86 FR 38274, July 20, 2021; 86 FR 27828, May 24, 2021). On July 26, 2021, the Commission issued a final affirmative determination in its countervailing duty investigation of wind towers from Malaysia (86 FR 41087, July 30, 2021). Following notification of a final determination by Commerce that imports of wind towers from Spain were being sold at LTFV within the meaning of section 735(a) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1673d(a)), notice of the supplemental scheduling of the final phase of the Commission’s antidumping duty investigation regarding Spain was given by posting copies of the notice in the Office of the Secretary, U.S. International Trade Commission, VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:06 Aug 12, 2021 Jkt 253001 PO 00000 Frm 00065 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\13AUN1.SGM 13AUN1 jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with NOTICES 44749Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 154 / Friday, August 13, 2021 / Notices Washington, DC, and by publishing the notice in the Federal Register of July 9, 2021 (86 FR 36305).

ACTION : 60-Day notice. SUMMARY : The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), Department of Justice (DOJ) will submit the following information collection request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. The proposed collection OMB 1140– 0036 (FFL Out of Business Records Request—ATF F 5300.3A) is being revised to include updated contact information, make minor changes in wording to improve form clarity, and identify an increase in the total burden hours since the last renewal in 2018. The proposed information collection is also being published to obtain comments from the public and affected agencies. DATES : Comments are encouraged and will be accepted for 60 days until October 12, 2021. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT : If you have additional comments regarding the estimated public burden or associated response time, suggestions, or need a copy of the proposed information collection instrument with instructions, or additional information, please contact: Matthew S. Grim, Tracing Operations & Records Mgt. Branch, National Tracing Center Division either by mail at ATF National Services Center, 244 Needy Road, Martinsburg, WV 25405, by email at matthew.grim@atf.gov, or by telephone at 304–260–3683. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : Written comments and suggestions from the public and affected agencies concerning the proposed collection of information are encouraged. Comments should address one or more of the following four points: —Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information will have practical utility; —Evaluate the accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; —Evaluate whether and if so how the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected can be enhanced; and —Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses. Overview of This Information Collection 1. Type of Information Collection (check justification or form 83): Revision of a currently approved collection. 2. The Title of the Form/Collection: FFL Out of Business Records Request. 3. The agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of the Department sponsoring the collection: Form number (if applicable): ATF Form 5300.3A. Component: Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, U.S. Department of Justice. 4. Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as well as a brief abstract: Primary: Business or other for-profit. Other (if applicable): None. Abstract: The FFL Out of Business Records Request—ATF Form 5300.3A is used to notify Federal firearms licensees (FFLs) who go out of business to submit their firearms records to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) if the business discontinuance is absolute. FFLs can also use the form to notify ATF of a successor business that will maintain control of the firearms records. 5. An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount of time estimated for an average respondent to respond: A combined 4,297 respondents will use the form and then package and ship/deliver business records to ATF following business discontinuance. It will take a combined total of 5 minutes for respondents to prepare the form and an additional 11 hours to package and then ship/deliver business records to ATF. 6. An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated with the collection: The combined estimated annual public burden associated with this collection is 47,523 hours, which is equal to 3,066 (# of respondents who completed the form) * 0.0833333 (5 minutes or the total time to complete each form) + 4,297 (# of respondents who ship/deliver records) *11 hours (time taken to package ship/deliver records to ATF). 7. An Explanation of the Change in Estimates: Since the last renewal in 2018, the total responses and mailing costs decreased from 4,607 to 4,297 and from $ 2,243,013 to $ 2,098,869 respectively, due to fewer FFLs going out of business. However, the total burden increased to 47,523 hours because it took each FFL more time to prepare an average 7 boxes of business records in 2020, compared to an estimated 4 boxes of records in 2018.

SUMMARY : Based on affirmative final determinations by the Department of Commerce (Commerce) and the International Trade Commission (ITC), Commerce is issuing the countervailing duty order on utility scale wind towers (wind towers) from India. DATES : Applicable December 6, 2021. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT : David Crespo or Melissa Kinter, AD/ CVD Operations, Office II, Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482–3693 and (202) 482–1413, respectively. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : Background In accordance with section 705(d) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), on October 13, 2021, Commerce published its affirmative final determination in the countervailing duty investigation of wind towers from India. 1 On November 29, 2021, the ITC notified Commerce of its affirmative final determination that an industry in the United States is materially injured within the meaning of section 705(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Act, by reason of subsidized imports of subject merchandise from India. 2 Scope of the Order The products covered by this order are wind towers from India. For a complete description of the scope of the order, see the appendix to this notice. Countervailing Duty Order As noted above, on November 29, 2021, in accordance with section 705(d) of the Act, the ITC notified Commerce of its final determination in this investigation, in which it found that an industry in the United States is materially injured by reason of subsidized imports of wind towers from India.3 Therefore, in accordance with section 705(c)(2) of the Act, Commerce is issuing this countervailing duty order. Because the ITC determined that imports of wind towers from India are materially injuring a U.S. industry, unliquidated entries of such merchandise from India, entered or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, are subject to the assessment of countervailing duties. In accordance with section 706(a) of the Act, Commerce will direct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to assess, upon further instruction by Commerce, countervailing duties for all relevant entries of wind towers from India. With the exception of entries occurring after the expiration of the provisional measures period and before the publication of the ITC’s final affirmative injury determination, as further described below, countervailing duties will be assessed on unliquidated entries of wind towers from India entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after March 25, 2021, the date of publication of the Preliminary Determination.4 Suspension of Liquidation and Cash Deposits In accordance with section 706 of the Act, Commerce will instruct CBP to reinstitute the suspension of liquidation of wind towers from India, as described in the appendix to this notice, effective on the date of publication of the ITC’s final affirmative injury determination in the Federal Register, and to assess, upon further instruction by Commerce, pursuant to section 706(a)(1) of the Act, countervailing duties for each entry of the subject merchandise in an amount based on the net countervailable subsidy rates below. On or after the date of publication of the ITC’s final injury determination in the Federal Register, CBP must require, at the same time as importers would deposit estimated normal customs duties on this merchandise, a cash deposit equal to the rates listed in the table below. The all- others rate applies to all producers or exporters not specifically listed, as appropriate.

Provisional Measures Section 703(d) of the Act states that suspension of liquidation pursuant to an affirmative preliminary determination may not remain in effect for more than four months. In the underlying investigation, Commerce published the Preliminary Determination on March 25, 2021. Therefore, the four-month period beginning on the date of the publication of the Preliminary Determination ended on July 22, 2021. In accordance with section 703(d) of the Act, we instructed CBP to terminate the suspension of liquidation and to liquidate, without regard to countervailing duties, unliquidated entries of wind towers from India entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption after July 22, 2021, the final day on which the provisional measures were in effect, until and through the day preceding the date of publication of the ITC’s final injury determination in the Federal Register. Suspension of liquidation and the collection of cash deposits will resume on the date of publication of the ITC’s final determination in the Federal Register. Establishment of the Annual Inquiry Service Lists On September 20, 2021, Commerce published the final rule titled ‘‘Regulations to Improve Administration and Enforcement of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Laws’’ in the Federal Register. 5 On September 27, 2021, Commerce also published the notice titled ‘‘Scope Ruling Application; Annual Inquiry Service List; and Informational Sessions’’ in the Federal Register. 6 The Final Rule and Procedural Guidance provide that Commerce will maintain an annual inquiry service list for each order or suspended investigation, and any interested party submitting a scope ruling application or request for circumvention inquiry shall serve a copy of the application or request on the persons on the annual inquiry service list for that order, as well as any companion order covering the same merchandise from the same country of origin.7 In accordance with the Procedural Guidance, for orders published in the Federal Register after November 4, 2021, Commerce will create an annual inquiry service list segment in Commerce’s online e-filing and document management system, Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Electronic Service System (ACCESS), available at https://access.trade.gov, within five business days of publication of the notice of the order. Each annual inquiry service list will be saved in ACCESS, under each case number, and under a specific segment type called ‘‘AISL-Annual Inquiry Service List.’’ 8 Interested parties who wish to be added to the annual inquiry service list for an order must submit an entry of appearance to the annual inquiry service list segment for the order in ACCESS within 30 days after the date of publication of the order. For ease of administration, Commerce requests that law firms with more than one attorney representing interested parties in an order designate a lead attorney to be included on the annual inquiry service list. Commerce will finalize the annual inquiry service list within five business days thereafter. As mentioned in the Procedural Guidance, the new annual inquiry service list will be in place until the following year, when the Opportunity Notice for the anniversary month of the order is published. Commerce may update an annual inquiry service list at any time as needed based on interested parties’ amendments to their entries of appearance to remove or otherwise modify their list of members and representatives, or to update contact information. Any changes or announcements pertaining to these procedures will be posted to the ACCESS website at https:// access.trade.gov. Special Instructions for Petitioners and Foreign Governments In the Final Rule, Commerce stated that, ‘‘after an initial request and placement on the annual inquiry service list, both petitioners and foreign governments will automatically be placed on the annual inquiry service list in the years that follow.’’ 9 Accordingly, as stated above, the petitioner and the Government of India should submit their initial entry of appearance after publication of this notice in order to appear in the first annual inquiry service list. Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.225(n)(3), the petitioner and the Government of India will not need to resubmit their entries of appearance each year to continue to be included on the annual inquiry service list. However, the petitioner and the Government of India are responsible for making amendments to their entries of appearance during the annual update to the annual inquiry service list in accordance with the procedures described above.

Antidumping Duty Orders On November 29, 2021, in accordance with section 735(d) of the Act, the ITC notified Commerce of its final determinations in these investigations, in which it found that an industry in the United States is materially injured within the meaning of section 735(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Act by reason of imports of wind towers from India and Malaysia. 3 Therefore, in accordance with section 735(c)(2) of the Act, Commerce is issuing these antidumping duty orders. Because the ITC determined that imports of wind towers from India and Malaysia are materially injuring a U.S. industry, unliquidated entries of such merchandise from India and Malaysia, entered or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, are subject to the assessment of antidumping duties. Therefore, in accordance with section 736(a)(1) of the Act, Commerce will direct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to assess, upon further instruction by Commerce, antidumping duties equal to the amount by which the normal value of the merchandise exceeds the export price (or constructed export price) of the merchandise, for all relevant entries of wind towers from India and Malaysia. With the exception of entries occurring after the expiration of the provisional measures period and before publication of the ITC’s final affirmative injury determinations, as further described below, antidumping duties will be assessed on unliquidated entries of wind towers from India entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption, on or after May 24, 2021, the date of publication of the India Preliminary Determination.4 Regarding Malaysia, because Commerce made a preliminary negative determination of sales at LTFV, 5 Commerce did not direct CBP to suspend liquidation or to require a cash deposit of estimated antidumping duties for entries of wind towers from Malaysia on or after May 24, 2021. However, because Commerce made a final affirmative determination of sales at LTFV, Commerce directed CBP to begin suspension of liquidation of wind towers from Malaysia entered or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or after October 13, 2021, the date of publication of the Malaysia Final Determination.6 Continuation of Suspension of Liquidation In accordance with section 736 of the Act, Commerce intends to instruct CBP to continue to suspend liquidation on all relevant entries of wind towers from India and Malaysia. These instructions suspending liquidation will remain in effect until further notice. Commerce also intends to instruct CBP to require cash deposits equal to the estimated weighted-average dumping margins indicated in the tables below. Accordingly, effective on the date of publication in the Federal Register of the notice of the ITC’s final affirmative injury determinations, CBP will require, at the same time that importers would normally deposit estimated duties on the merchandise, a cash deposit equal to the rates below.

An electronically filed document must be received successfully in its entirety by Commerce’s electronic records system, ACCESS, by 5 p.m. Eastern Time within 30 days after the date of publication of this notice. Requests should contain: (1) The party’s name, address, and telephone number; (2) the number of participants; and (3) a list of issues to be discussed. Issues raised in the hearing will be limited to those raised in the respective case briefs. Commerce intends to issue the final results of this administrative review, including the results of its analysis of the issues raised in any written briefs, not later than 120 days after the date of publication of this notice, unless extended, pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act. Assessment Rates Upon completion of this administrative review, Commerce shall determine, and U.S. CBP shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. If a respondent’s weighted- average dumping margin is not zero or de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent) in the final results of this review, we will calculate importer-specific ad valorem assessment rates on the basis of the ratio of the total amount of dumping calculated for an importer’s examined sales and the total entered value of those same sales, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). 10 Where an importer- specific ad valorem assessment rate is zero or de minimis in the final results of the review, we will instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties.11 Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP 35 days after the date of publication of the final results of this administrative review in the Federal Register. If a timely summons is filed at the U.S. Court of International Trade, the assessment instructions will direct CBP not to liquidate relevant entries until the time for parties to file a request for a statutory injunction has expired (i.e., within 90 days of publication.) Cash Deposit Requirements The following deposit requirements will be effective for all shipments of PET film from India entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of publication of the final results of this administrative review, as provided for by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) The cash deposit rate for the company under review will be the rate established in the final results of this review (except, if the rate is zero or de minimis, no cash deposit will be required); (2) for previously reviewed or investigated companies not listed above, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the company-specific rate published for the most recent period; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this review, a prior review, or the less-than- fair-value investigation, but the manufacturer is, the cash deposit rate will be the rate established for the most recent period for the manufacturer of the merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate for all other manufacturers or exporters is 5.71 percent.12 These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice. Notification to Importers This notice also serves as a preliminary reminder to importers of their responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation of the relevant entries during this review period. Failure to comply with this requirement could result in the Secretary’s presumption that reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of double antidumping duties. Notification to Interested Parties We are issuing and publishing these results in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4). Dated: July 29, 2021.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : Background In accordance with section 705(d) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), on June 9, 2021, Commerce published its affirmative final determination in the countervailing duty investigation of wind towers from Malaysia. 1 On July 26, 2021, the ITC notified Commerce of its affirmative final determination that an industry in the United States is materially injured within the meaning of section 705(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Act, by reason of subsidized imports of subject merchandise from Malaysia. 2 Scope of the Order The products covered by this order are wind towers from Malaysia.

Countervailing Duty Order As noted above, on July 26, 2021, in accordance with section 705(d) of the Act, the ITC notified Commerce of its final determination in this investigation, in which it found that an industry in the United States is materially injured by reason of subsidized imports of wind towers from Malaysia. 3 Therefore, in accordance with section 705(c)(2) of the Act, Commerce is issuing this countervailing duty order. Because the ITC determined that imports of wind towers from Malaysia are materially injuring a U.S. industry, unliquidated entries of such merchandise from Malaysia, entered or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, are subject to the assessment of countervailing duties. In accordance with section 706(a) of the Act, Commerce will direct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to assess, upon further instruction by Commerce, countervailing duties for all relevant entries of wind towers from Malaysia. With the exception of entries occurring after the expiration of the provisional measures period and before the publication of the ITC’s final affirmative injury determination, as further described below, countervailing duties will be assessed on unliquidated entries of wind towers from Malaysia entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after March 25, 2021, the date of publication of the Preliminary Determination.4 Suspension of Liquidation and Cash Deposits In accordance with section 706 of the Act, Commerce will instruct CBP to reinstitute the suspension of liquidation of wind towers from Malaysia, as described in the appendix to this notice, effective on the date of publication of the ITC’s final affirmative injury determination in the Federal Register, and to assess, upon further instruction by Commerce, pursuant to section 706(a)(1) of the Act, countervailing duties for each entry of the subject merchandise in an amount based on the net countervailable subsidy rates below. On or after the date of publication of the ITC’s final injury determination in the Federal Register, CBP must require, at the same time as importers would deposit estimated normal customs duties on this merchandise, a cash deposit equal to the rates listed in the table below. The all-others rate applies to all producers or exporters not specifically listed, as appropriate. Company Subsidy rate (percent) CS Wind Malaysia Sdn Bhd 6.42 All Others .............................. 6.42 Provisional Measures Section 703(d) of the Act states that instructions issued pursuant to an affirmative preliminary determination may not remain in effect for more than four months. In the underlying investigation, Commerce published the Preliminary Determination on March 25, 2021. Therefore, the four-month period beginning on the date of the publication of the Preliminary Determination ended on July 22, 2021. In accordance with section 703(d) of the Act, we will instruct CBP to terminate the suspension of liquidation and to liquidate, without regard to countervailing duties, unliquidated entries of wind towers from Malaysia entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption after July 22, 2021, the final day on which the provisional measures were in effect, until and through the day preceding the date of publication of the ITC’s final injury determination in the Federal Register. Suspension of liquidation will resume on the date of publication of the ITC’s final determination in the Federal Register.

Appendix Scope of the Order The merchandise covered by this order consists of certain wind towers, whether or not tapered, and sections thereof. Certain wind towers support the nacelle and rotor blades in a wind turbine with a minimum rated electrical power generation capacity in excess of 100 kilowatts and with a minimum height of 50 meters measured from the base of the tower to the bottom of the nacelle (i.e., where the top of the tower and nacelle are joined) when fully assembled. A wind tower section consists of, at a minimum, multiple steel plates rolled into cylindrical or conical shapes and welded together (or otherwise attached) to form a steel shell, regardless of coating, end-finish, painting, treatment, or method of manufacture, and with or without flanges, doors, or internal or external components (e.g., flooring/decking, ladders, lifts, electrical buss boxes, electrical cabling, conduit, cable harness for nacelle generator, interior lighting, tool and storage lockers) attached to the wind tower section. Several wind tower sections are normally required to form a completed wind tower. Wind towers and sections thereof are included within the scope whether or not they are joined with nonsubject merchandise, such as nacelles or rotor blades, and whether or not they have internal or external components attached to the subject merchandise. Specifically excluded from the scope are nacelles and rotor blades, regardless of whether they are attached to the wind tower. Also excluded are any internal or external components which are not attached to the wind towers or sections thereof, unless those components are shipped with the tower sections. Merchandise covered by this order is currently classified in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) under subheading 7308.20.0020 or 8502.31.0000. Wind towers of iron or steel are classified under HTSUS 7308.20.0020 when imported separately as a tower or tower section(s). Wind towers may be classified under HTSUS 8502.31.0000 when imported as combination goods with a wind turbine (i.e., accompanying nacelles and/or rotor blades). While the HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and customs purposes, the written description of the scope of this order is dispositive.

Appendix Scope of the Orders The merchandise covered by these orders consists of certain wind towers, whether or not tapered, and sections thereof. Certain wind towers support the nacelle and rotor blades in a wind turbine with a minimum rated electrical power generation capacity in excess of 100 kilowatts and with a minimum height of 50 meters measured from the base of the tower to the bottom of the nacelle (i.e., where the top of the tower and nacelle are joined) when fully assembled. A wind tower section consists of, at a minimum, multiple steel plates rolled into cylindrical or conical shapes and welded together (or otherwise attached) to form a steel shell, regardless of coating, end-finish, painting, treatment, or method of manufacture, and with or without flanges, doors, or internal or external components (e.g., flooring/decking, ladders, lifts, electrical buss boxes, electrical cabling, conduit, cable harness for nacelle generator, interior lighting, tool and storage lockers) attached to the wind tower section. Several wind tower sections are normally required to form a completed wind tower. Wind towers and sections thereof are included within the scope whether or not they are joined with non-subject merchandise, such as nacelles or rotor blades, and whether or not they have internal or external components attached to the subject merchandise. Specifically excluded from the scope are nacelles and rotor blades, regardless of whether they are attached to the wind tower. Also excluded are any internal or external components which are not attached to the wind towers or sections thereof, unless those components are shipped with the tower sections. Merchandise covered by these orders is currently classified in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) under subheading 7308.20.0020 or 8502.31.0000. Wind towers of iron or steel are classified under HTSUS 7308.20.0020 when imported separately as a tower or tower section(s). Wind towers may be classified under HTSUS 8502.31.0000 when imported as combination goods with a wind turbine (i.e., accompanying nacelles and/or rotor blades). While the HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and customs purposes, the written description of the scope of these orders is dispositive.

SUMMARY : Based on affirmative final determinations by the Department of Commerce (Commerce) and the International Trade Commission (ITC), Commerce is issuing an antidumping duty order on utility scale wind towers (wind towers) from Spain. DATES : Applicable August 16, 2021. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT : Benito Ballesteros or Christopher Maciuba, AD/CVD Operations, Office V, Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482–7425 or (202) 482–0413. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : Background On June 25, 2021, Commerce published its affirmative final determination in the less-than-fair-value (LTFV) investigation of wind towers from Spain. 1 On August 9, 2021, the ITC notified Commerce of its final affirmative determination that an industry in the United States is materially injured within the meaning of section 735(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), by reason of imports of wind towers from Spain that are sold in the United States at LTFV.2 Scope of the Order The products covered by this order are wind towers. For a complete description of the scope of the order, see the appendix to this notice. Antidumping Duty Order On August 9, 2021, in accordance with sections 735(b)(1)(A)(i) and 735(d) of the Act, the ITC notified Commerce of its final determination that an industry in the United States is materially injured by reason of imports of wind towers from Spain. Therefore, in accordance with sections 735(c)(2) of the Act, Commerce is issuing this antidumping duty order. Because the ITC determined that imports of wind towers from Spain are materially injuring a U.S. industry, unliquidated entries of such merchandise from Spain, which are entered or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, are subject to the assessment of antidumping duties. In accordance with section 736(b)(1) of the Act, Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to assess, upon further instruction by Commerce, antidumping duties equal to the amount by which the normal value of the merchandise exceeds the export price (or constructed export price) of the merchandise, for all relevant entries of wind towers from Spain. Antidumping duties will be assessed on unliquidated entries of wind towers from Spain which are entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after April 2, 2021, the date of publication of the Preliminary Determination.3 Suspension of Liquidation and Cash Deposits In accordance with section 736 of the Act, Commerce will instruct CBP to reinstitute the suspension of liquidation of all relevant entries of wind towers from Spain as described in the VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:21 Aug 13, 2021 Jkt 253001 PO 00000 Frm 00006 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\16AUN1.SGM 16AUN1 lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 45708 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 155 / Monday, August 16, 2021 / Notices 4 See section 736(a)(3) of the Act. Appendix to this notice which are entered, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or after the date of publication of the ITC’s notice of final determination in the Federal Register. These instructions suspending liquidation will remain in effect until further notice. We will also instruct CBP to require cash deposits for estimated antidumping duties equal to the rates listed below. Accordingly, effective on the date of publication in the Federal Register of the ITC’s final affirmative injury determination, CBP will require, at the same time as importers would normally deposit estimated duties on this subject merchandise, a cash deposit equal to the cash deposit rates listed below.4 The all- others rate applies to all producers or exporters not specifically listed, as appropriate. Estimated Weighted-Average Dumping Margins The weighted-average dumping margins for the antidumping duty order are as follows: Exporter/producer Dumping margin (percent) Vestas Eolica S.A.U ............. 73.00 Acciona Windpower S.A ....... 73.00 Gamesa Energy Trans- mission .............................. 73.00 Haizea Wind Group .............. 73.00 Kuzar Systems, S.L .............. 73.00 Windar Renovables .............. 73.00 All Others .............................. 73.00 Provisional Measures Section 733(d) of the Act states that suspension of liquidation pursuant to an affirmative preliminary determination may not remain in effect for more than four months, except where exporters representing a significant proportion of exports of the subject merchandise request Commerce extended the four- month period to no more than six months. Commerce published the Preliminary Determination on April 2, 2021. The four-month period beginning on the date of publication of the Preliminary Determination ended on July 30, 2021. Furthermore, section 737(b) of the Act states that definitive duties are to begin on the date of publication of the ITC’s final injury determination. Therefore, in accordance with section 733(d) of the Act, we will instruct CBP to terminate the suspension of liquidation and to liquidate, without regard to antidumping duties, unliquidated entries of wind towers from Spain entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption after July 30, 2021, the date on which the provisional measures expired, until and through the day preceding the date of publication of the ITC’s final injury determinations in the Federal Register. Suspension of liquidation will resume on the date of publication of the ITC’s final determinations in the Federal Register.

INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION [Investigation Nos. 701–TA–652 and 731– TA–1524–1525 (Final)] Silicon Metal From Bosnia and Herzegovina, Iceland, and Kazakhstan; Determinations On the basis of the record 1 developed in the subject investigations, the United States International Trade Commission (‘‘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 silicon metal, provided for in subheadings 2804.69.10 and 2804.69.50 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States, from Bosnia and Herzegovina and from Iceland, that have been found by the U.S. Department of Commerce (‘‘Commerce’’) to be sold in the United States at less than fair value (‘‘LTFV’’), and from Kazakhstan, that have been found by Commerce to be subsidized by the Government of Kazakhstan. 2 Background The Commission instituted these investigations effective June 30, 2020, following receipt of petitions filed with the Commission and Commerce by Globe Specialty Metal, Inc., Beverly, Ohio and Mississippi Silicon, LLC, Burnsville, Mississippi. The final phase of the investigations was scheduled by the Commission following notification of preliminary determinations by Commerce that imports of silicon metal from Kazakhstan were subsidized within the meaning of section 703(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1671b(b)) and that imports of silicon metal from Bosnia and Herzegovina and Iceland were being sold at LTFV within the meaning of 733(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1673b(b)). 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 December 30, 2020 (85 FR 86578). 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 February 22, 2021. All persons who requested the opportunity were permitted to participate. The Commission made these determinations pursuant to §§ 705(b) and 735(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1671d(b) and 19 U.S.C. 1673d(b)). It completed and filed its determinations in these investigations on April 12, 2021.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : The Commission instituted this investigation on January 15, 2020, based on a complaint filed on behalf of Philips North America, LLC of Andover, Massachusetts and Koninklijke Philips N.V. of Eindhoven, Netherlands (collectively, ‘‘Complainants’’). 85 FR 2440–41 (Jan. 15, 2020). The complaint, as supplemented, alleges violations of section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, 19 U.S.C. 1337, based upon the importation into the United States, the sale for importation, and the sale within the United States after importation of certain wearable monitoring devices, systems, and components thereof by reason of infringement of certain claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 7,845,228 (‘‘the ’228 patent’’); 9,820,698 (‘‘the ’698 patent’’); 9,717,464 (‘‘the ’464 patent’’); and 9,961,186 (‘‘the ’186 patent’’). The Commission’s notice of investigation named the following Respondents: Fitbit, Inc. (‘‘Fitbit’’) of San Francisco, California; Garmin International, Inc. and Garmin USA, Inc., both of Olathe, Kansas (‘‘the domestic Garmin Respondents’’); Garmin Ltd. d/b/a Garmin Switzerland GmbH of Schaffhausen, Switzerland; Ingram Micro Inc. of Irvine, California; Maintek Computer (Suzhou) Co., Ltd. of Jiangsu Province, China; and Inventec Appliances (Pudong) of Shanghai, China (collectively, ‘‘Respondents’’). The Office of Unfair Import Investigations (‘‘OUII’’) is participating in the investigation. The ’186 patent was previously terminated from the investigation. Order No. 25 (July 17, 2020), unreviewed by Comm’n Notice (Aug. 4, 2020). On February 4, 2021, the ALJ issued the final ID finding no violation of section 337 as to the two patents involved in the evidentiary hearing, the ’228 and ’464 patents. (Regarding the ’698 patent, see Order. No. 35 (discussed below)). With respect to the ’228 patent, the ID finds that: (1) None of Respondents’ accused products infringe asserted claim 2 of the ’228 patent; (2) claim 2 of the ’228 patent is invalid as anticipated under 35 U.S.C. 102 by the asserted prior art (U.S. Patent No. 6,077,236); (3) claim 2 of the ’228 patent is directed to patent-ineligible subject matter under 35 U.S.C. 101; (4) claim 2 of the ’228 patent is not anticipated under 35 U.S.C. 102, or rendered obvious under 35 U.S.C. 103, by any other asserted prior art; (5) claim 2 of the ’228 patent is not unenforceable based on patent exhaustion; and (6) Philips has satisfied the domestic industry requirement with respect to the ’228 patent. With respect to the ’464 patent, the ID finds that: (1) None of Respondents’ accused products infringe asserted claims 1 and 6 of the ’464 patent; (2) claims 1 and 6 of the ’464 patent are directed to patent-ineligible subject matter under 35 U.S.C. 101; (3) claims 1 and 6 of the ’464 patent are not anticipated under 35 U.S.C. 102 and they are not rendered obvious under 35 U.S.C. 103; and (4) claims 1 and 6 of the ’464 patent are not invalid based on improper inventorship under 35 U.S.C. 115(a) or 116(a); (5) Philips has not satisfied the technical prong of the domestic industry requirement with respect to the ’464 patent; and (6) Philips has satisfied the economic prong of the domestic industry requirement by showing that a domestic industry is in the process of being established. In the Recommended Determination, the ALJ recommends that if the Commission finds a violation it should issue a limited exclusion order directed to Respondents’ infringing products and a cease and desist order directed to the domestic Garmin respondents and Fitbit. On February 16, 2021, Philips petitioned, OUII petitioned and contingently petitioned, and Respondents contingently petitioned for review of certain aspects of the final ID. On February 24, 2021, Philips, OUII, and Respondents each responded to the other parties’ petitions for review. The Commission received no public interest comments from the public in response to the Federal Register notice seeking comment on the public interest. 86 FR 9085–86 (Feb. 11, 2021). On March 8, 2021, Respondents submitted public interest comments pursuant to Commission Rule 210.50(a)(4). No other party submitted public interest comments. The Commission has determined to review the final ID in part. Specifically, the Commission has determined to review: (1) The ID’s construction of the term ‘‘monitor’’ recited in claim 2 of the ’228 patent; (2) the ID’s finding of non- infringement for claim 2 of the ’228 patent; (3) the ID’s finding that Philips has satisfied the domestic industry requirement with respect to the ’228 patent; (4) the ID’s finding that claim 2 of the ’228 patent is not unenforceable based on patent exhaustion; and (5) the ID’s finding, with respect to the ’464 patent, that Philips has satisfied the economic prong of the domestic industry requirement by showing that a domestic industry is in the process of being established. The Commission has determined not to review the remainder of the final ID. On review, the Commission has determined to: (1) Construe the term ‘‘monitor’’ recited in claim 2 of the ’228 patent to mean ‘‘receive and track’’; (2) affirm, with modified reasoning, the ID’s finding that the accused products practice the ‘‘monitor [ ] the sensor signals discontinuously in time’’ limitation recited in claim 2; and (3) reverse the ID’s finding that the accused products do not practice the ‘‘monitor the sensor signals in turn’’ limitation recited in claim 2. Accordingly, the Commission finds that the accused VerDate Sep<11>2014 19:57 Apr 15, 2021 Jkt 253001 PO 00000 Frm 00086 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\16APN1.SGM 16APN1 jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with NOTICES ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── === USITC Revised Schedule === 58098 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 200 / Wednesday, October 20, 2021 / Notices The RD issued on June 10, 2021. The RD recommended that, if the Commission finds a violation of section 337, the Commission should issue a limited exclusion order having various durations for each of the various categories of accused products. RD at 10. The durations of the recommended exclusion orders range from 1–17 months from issuance. Id. at 10–11. The RD further recommended that a cease and desist order would not be necessary. Id. at 12. The RD additionally recommended that a bond of 1% of entered value be imposed during the period of Presidential review. The public interest was not delegated to the CALJ. On June 21, 2021, Complainants, Respondents, and OUII filed petitions for review. On June 29, 2021, the parties filed responses to the petitions. On August 4, 2021, the Commission determined to review in part the final ID and requested briefing from the parties on the issues under review. 86 FR 44054 (Aug. 11, 2021). In particular, the Commission determined to review the following: (1) The final ID’s findings and conclusions as to the existence of a domestic industry and injury to a domestic industry; and (2) the final ID’s findings and conclusions regarding the wrongful taking and use of the Bills of Materials Trade Secrets and the Custom Components and Mold Trade Secrets. Id. at 44054–55. The Commission also sought briefing from the parties, interested government agencies, and any other interested parties on remedy, public interest, and bonding. Id. at 44055. On August 19, 2021, the parties filed their written submissions on the issues under review and on remedy, public interest, and bonding, and on August 26, 2021, the parties filed their reply submissions. Having examined the record of this investigation, including the final ID, the petitions for review, the responses thereto, and the written submissions received in response to the Commission’s request for briefing, the Commission finds that no violation of section 337 has occurred. More specifically, as explained in the accompanying opinion, the Commission affirms with modifications the final ID’s conclusion that Complainants did not satisfy the domestic industry requirement, and takes no position as to the trade secrets issues under review. The Commission therefore finds that the Complainants did not establish that an industry in the United States exists as required by section 337(a)(1)(A)(i) and thus did not establish a substantial injury to a domestic industry. The investigation is hereby terminated. The Commission vote for this determination took place on October 14, 2021. The authority for the Commission’s determination is contained in section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1337), and in Part 210 of the Commission’s Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR part 210).

The public record for these investigations may be viewed on the Commission’s electronic docket (EDIS) at https://edis.usitc.gov. 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : Section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930 provides that, if the Commission finds a violation, it shall exclude the articles concerned from the United States: unless, after considering the effect of such exclusion upon the public health and welfare, competitive conditions in the United States economy, the production of like or directly competitive articles in the United States, and United States consumers, it finds that such articles should not be excluded from entry. 19 U.S.C. 1337(d)(1). A similar provision applies to cease and desist orders. 19 U.S.C. 1337(f)(1). The Commission is soliciting submissions on public interest issues raised by the recommended relief should the Commission find a violation. Specifically, the RD recommends a general exclusion order directed to certain vaporizer cartridges and components thereof.

The Office of Management and Budget authorized clearance of Phase 4 of the Small Business Pulse Survey on February 16, 2021. The Census Bureau now seeks approval to conduct Phase 5 of the Small Business Pulse Survey which will occur over 9 weeks starting May 17, 2021. The continuation of the Small Business Pulse Survey is responsive to stakeholder requests for high frequency data that measure the effect of changing business conditions during the Coronavirus pandemic on small businesses. While the ongoing monthly and quarterly economic indicator programs provide estimates of dollar volume outputs for employer businesses of all size, the Small Business Pulse Survey captures the effects of the pandemic on operations and finances of small, single location employer businesses. As the pandemic continues, the Census Bureau is best poised to collect this information from a large and diverse sample of small businesses. It is hard to predict when a shock will result in economic activity changing at a weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly frequency. Early in the pandemic, federal, state, and local policies were moving quickly so it made sense to have a weekly collection. The problem is that while we are in the moment, we cannot accurately forecast the likelihood of policy action. In addition, we are not able to forecast a change in the underlying cause of policy actions: The effect of the Coronavirus pandemic on the economy. We cannot predict changes in the severity of the pandemic (e.g., will it worsen in flu season?) nor future developments that will alleviate the pandemic (e.g., vaccines or treatments). In a period of such high uncertainty, the impossibility of forecasting these inflection points underscores the benefits of having a weekly survey. For these reasons, the Census Bureau will proceed with a weekly collection. Phase 5 of the Small Business Pulse Survey proposes to capture information on concepts such as business closings, changes in revenue, changes in employment and hours, vaccine requirements, disruptions to supply chain, operating capacity factors, and expectations for future operations. These economic data will be used to understand how changes due to the response to the Coronavirus pandemic have and continue to affect American businesses and the U.S. economy. Content for Phase 5 will remain the same as the previous phase, with two minor additions of response categories (‘‘Restaurant Revitalization Fund’’ and ‘‘Shuttered Venue Operators Grants’’) will be added as options in questions 15 and 16. All results from the Small Business Pulse Survey will continue to be disseminated as U.S. Census Bureau Experimental Data Products (https:// portal.census.gov/pulse/data/). This and additional information on the Small Business Pulse Survey are available to the public on census.gov. Affected Public: Business or other for- profit organizations. Frequency: Small business will be selected once to participate in a 6- minute survey. Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary. Legal Authority: Title 13 U.S.C., Sections 131 and 182.

Pursuant to section 776(a) of the Act, Commerce has preliminarily relied upon facts otherwise available to assign a dumping margin to Vestas Eolica S.A.U. (Vestas Eolica), in this investigation because Vestas Eolica did not submit a response to Commerce’s antidumping duty questionnaire. Commerce has also preliminarily relied upon facts otherwise available to assign a dumping margin to the companies which did not provide responses to the quantity and value (Q&V) questionnaires during the respondent selection process. 5 Further, pursuant to section 776(b) of the Act, Commerce is preliminarily determining that Vestas Eolica and the companies which did not provide responses to the Q&V questionnaires failed to cooperate by not acting to the best of their individual abilities to comply with requests for information. Commerce is, therefore, using an adverse inference when selecting from among the facts otherwise available (i.e., applying adverse facts available (AFA)) to these companies, in accordance with section 776(b) of Act. For a full description of the methodology underlying our preliminary determination, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. All-Others Rate Sections 733(d)(1)(ii) and 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act provide that, in the preliminary determination, Commerce shall determine an estimated all-others rate for all exporters and producers not individually examined. This rate shall be an amount equal to the weighted average of the estimated weighted- average dumping margins established for exporters and producers individually investigated, excluding any zero and de minimis margins, and any margins determined entirely under section 776 of the Act. Pursuant to section 735(c)(5)(B) of the Act, if the estimated weighted-average dumping margins established for all exporters and producers individually examined are zero, de minimis, or determined based entirely on facts otherwise available, Commerce may use any reasonable method to establish the estimated weighted-average dumping margin for all other producers or exporters. Commerce has preliminarily determined the estimated weighted- average dumping margin for the individually-examined respondent under section 776 of the Act. In cases where no weighted-average dumping margins other than those determined entirely under section 776 of the Act have been established for individually- examined entities, in accordance with section 735(c)(5)(B) of the Act, Commerce may use any reasonable method to establish the estimated all- others rate for exporters and producers not individually investigated. In the Petition, the Wind Tower Trade Coalition (the petitioner) 6 provided only one dumping margin, which was based on a price-to-constructed-value comparison. 7 Therefore, in the absence of another weighted-average dumping margin on the record of this investigation, as the all-others rate, we are preliminarily assigning the sole dumping margin in the Initiation Notice, which is 73.00 percent.8 Preliminary Determination Commerce preliminarily determines that the following estimated weighted- average dumping margins exist: Exporter/producer Dumping margin (percent) Vestas Eolica S.A.U. .................. 73.00 Acciona Windpower S.A. ............ 73.00 Gamesa Energy Transmission ... 73.00 Haizea Wind Group .................... 73.00 Kuzar Systems, S.L. ................... 73.00 Proyectos Integrales y Logisticos S.A.A. ...................................... 73.00 Windar Renovables .................... 73.00 All Others .................................... 73.00 Suspension of Liquidation In accordance with section 773(d)(2) of the Act, Commerce will direct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to suspend liquidation of entries of subject merchandise, as described in Appendix I, entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of the publication of this notice in the Federal Register. Further, pursuant to section 733(d)(1)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.205(d), Commerce will instruct CBP to require a cash deposit equal to the margins indicated in the chart above. These suspension of liquidation instructions will remain in effect until further notice. Disclosure Normally, Commerce discloses to interested parties the calculations performed in connection with a preliminary determination within five days of any public announcement or, if there is no public announcement, within five days of the date of publication of the notice of preliminary determination in the Federal Register, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). However, because Commerce preliminarily applied AFA to the Vestas Eolica in this investigation, in accordance with section 776 of the Act, there are no calculations to disclose. Verification Because Vestas Eolica indicated its intent not to participate in this investigation, and Commerce preliminarily determines that this company was uncooperative, we will not conduct verification. Public Comment Interested parties are invited to comment on this preliminary determination no later than 30 days after the date of publication of the preliminary determination.9 Rebuttal briefs, limited to issues raised in case briefs, may be submitted no later than seven days after the deadline for case briefs. 10 Commerce has modified certain of its requirements for service documents containing business proprietary information, until further notice.11 Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.309(c)(2) and (d)(2), parties who submit case briefs or rebuttal briefs in this investigation are encouraged to submit with each argument: (1) A statement of the issue; (2) a brief summary of the argument; and (3) a table of authorities.

Appendix I—Scope of the Investigation The merchandise covered by this investigation consists of certain wind towers, whether or not tapered, and sections thereof. Certain wind towers support the nacelle and rotor blades in a wind turbine with a minimum rated electrical power generation capacity in excess of 100 kilowatts and with a minimum height of 50 meters measured from the base of the tower to the bottom of the nacelle (i.e., where the top of the tower and nacelle are joined) when fully assembled. A wind tower section consists of, at a minimum, multiple steel plates rolled into cylindrical or conical shapes and welded together (or otherwise attached) to form a steel shell, regardless of coating, end-finish, painting, treatment, or method of manufacture, and with or without flanges, doors, or internal or external components (e.g., flooring/decking, ladders, lifts, electrical buss boxes, electrical cabling, conduit, cable harness for nacelle generator, interior lighting, tool and storage lockers) attached to the wind tower section. Several wind tower sections are normally required to form a completed wind tower. Wind towers and sections thereof are included within the scope whether or not they are joined with non-subject merchandise, such as nacelles or rotor blades, and whether or not they have internal or external components attached to the subject merchandise. Specifically excluded from the scope are nacelles and rotor blades, regardless of whether they are attached to the wind tower. Also excluded are any internal or external components which are not attached to the wind towers or sections thereof, unless those components are shipped with the tower sections. Merchandise covered by this investigation is currently classified in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) under subheading 7308.20.0020 or 8502.31.0000. Wind towers of iron or steel are classified under HTSUS 7308.20.0020 when imported separately as a tower or tower section(s). Wind towers may be classified under HTSUS 8502.31.0000 when imported as combination goods with a wind turbine (i.e., accompanying nacelles and/or rotor blades). While the HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and customs purposes, the written description of the scope of this investigation is dispositive.

Background This preliminary determination is made in accordance with section 733(b) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). Commerce published the notice of initiation of this investigation on November 16, 2020.1 For a complete description of the events that followed the initiation of this investigation, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. 2 A list of topics included in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum is included as Appendix II to this notice. The Preliminary Decision Memorandum is a public document and is on file electronically via Enforcement and Compliance’s Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS). ACCESS is available to registered users at http:// access.trade.gov. In addition, a complete version of the Preliminary Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly at http://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/. Scope of the Investigation The products covered by this investigation are utility scale wind towers from India. For a complete description of the scope of this investigation, see Appendix I to this notice. Scope Comments In accordance with the Preamble to Commerce’s regulations,3 we set aside a period of time in the Initiation Notice for parties to raise issues regarding product coverage (i.e., scope). 4 We did not receive comments concerning the scope of the investigation of wind towers as it appeared in the Initiation Notice. Therefore, Commerce is not preliminarily modifying the scope language as it appeared in the Initiation Notice. See the scope in Appendix I to this notice. Methodology Commerce is conducting this investigation in accordance with section 731 of the Act. Pursuant to section 776(a) of the Act, Commerce preliminarily relied upon facts otherwise available to assign a dumping margin to Vestas Wind Technology India Private Limited (Vestas India) in this investigation because Vestas India failed to file a complete response to Commerce’s supplemental section D questionnaire by the established deadline. As a result, for the reasons discussed in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum, Commerce is unable to rely on Vestas India’s reported cost data to calculate a margin. Commerce also preliminarily relied upon facts otherwise available to assign a dumping margin to the companies which did not provide timely responses to the quantity and value (Q&V) questionnaires during the respondent selection process.5 Further, pursuant to section 776(b) of the Act, Commerce is preliminarily determining that Vestas India and the companies which did not provide timely responses to the Q&V questionnaire each failed to cooperate to the best of its ability to comply with Commerce’s requests for information. Therefore, Commerce is using an adverse inference when selecting from among the facts otherwise available when determining the preliminary margins assigned to these companies, in accordance with section 776(b) of the Act. For a full description of the methodology underlying our preliminary determination, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. All-Others Rate Sections 733(d)(1)(ii) and 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act provide that, in the preliminary determination, Commerce shall determine an estimated all-others rate for all exporters and producers not individually examined. This rate shall be an amount equal to the weighted average of the estimated weighted- average dumping margins established for exporters and producers individually investigated, excluding any zero and de minimis margins, and any margins determined entirely under section 776 of the Act. Pursuant to section 735(c)(5)(B) of the Act, if the estimated weighted-average dumping margins established for all exporters and producers individually examined are zero, de minimis, or determined based entirely on facts otherwise available, Commerce may use any reasonable method to establish the estimated weighted-average dumping margin for all other producers or exporters. Commerce preliminarily determined the estimated weighted- average dumping margin for the individually-examined respondent entirely under section 776 of the Act. In the Petition, the petitioner 6 provided only one dumping margin, which was based on a price-to- constructed-value comparison. 7 Therefore, in the absence of another weighted-average dumping margin on the record of this investigation, we are preliminarily assigning the sole dumping margin in the Initiation Notice (i.e., 54.03 percent) as the all-others rate.8 Preliminary Determination Commerce preliminarily determines that the following estimated weighted- average dumping margins exist: Exporter/producer Dumping margin (percent) Cash deposit rate (adjusted for subsidy offsets) 9 (percent) Vestas Wind Technology India Private Limited ........................................................................................... 54.03 50.65 Acciona Wind Power India Pvt.

To determine the cash deposit rate, Commerce normally adjusts the estimated weighted-average dumping margin by the amount of export subsidies determined in a companion countervailing duty (CVD) proceeding when CVD provisional measures are in effect. Accordingly, Commerce has made a preliminary affirmative determination for an export subsidy adjustment. Commerce has offset the estimated weighted-average dumping margin by the appropriate rate. Any such adjusted rates may be found in the chart of estimated weighted-average dumping margins in the ‘‘Preliminary Determination’’ section above. Should provisional measures in the companion CVD investigation expire prior to the expiration of provisional measures in this LTFV investigation, Commerce will direct CBP to begin collecting cash deposits at a rate equal to the estimated weighted-average dumping margins calculated in this preliminary determination unadjusted for export subsidies at the time the CVD provisional measures expire. These suspension of liquidation instructions will remain in effect until further notice. Disclosure Normally, Commerce discloses to interested parties the calculations performed in connection with a preliminary determination within five days of any public announcement or, if there is no public announcement, within five days of the date of publication of the notice of preliminary determination in the Federal Register, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). However, because Commerce preliminarily determined Vestas India’s dumping margin in this investigation based on AFA, in accordance with section 776 of the Act, there are no calculations to disclose. Verification Because Vestas India did not act to the best of its ability to provide information Commerce requested and, as a result, we preliminarily determine that Vestas India was uncooperative, we will not conduct verification. Public Comment Interested parties are invited to comment on this preliminary determination no later than 30 days after the date of publication of the preliminary determination.10 Rebuttal briefs, limited to issues raised in case briefs, may be submitted no later than seven days after the deadline for case briefs.11 Commerce has modified certain of its requirements for service of documents containing business proprietary information, until further notice.12 Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.309(c)(2) and (d)(2), parties who submit case briefs or rebuttal briefs in this investigation are encouraged to submit with each argument: (1) A statement of the issue; (2) a brief summary of the argument; and (3) a table of authorities.

Requests should contain the party’s name, address, and telephone number, the number of participants, and a list of the issues to be discussed. Oral presentations at the hearing will be limited to issues raised in the briefs. If a request for a hearing is made, parties will be notified of the time and date for the hearing. 13 Final Determination Section 735(a)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.210(b)(1) provide that Commerce will issue the final determination within 75 days after the date of its preliminary determination. Accordingly, Commerce will make its final determination no later than 75 days after the signature date of this preliminary determination. International Trade Commission Notification In accordance with section 733(f) of the Act, Commerce will notify the International Trade Commission (ITC) of its preliminary determination. If the final determination is affirmative, the ITC will determine before the later of 120 days after the date of this preliminary determination or 45 days after the final determination whether these imports are materially injuring, or threaten material injury to, the U.S. industry.

SUMMARY : The Department of Commerce (Commerce) is rescinding the administrative review of the antidumping duty order on stainless steel butt-weld pipe fittings from Italy for the period of review (POR) February 1, 2020, through January 31, 2021, based on the timely withdrawal of the request for review. DATES : Applicable May 24, 2021. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT : Preston N. Cox, AD/CVD Operations, Office VI, Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482–5041. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : Background On February 2, 2021, Commerce published in the Federal Register a notice of opportunity to request an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on stainless steel butt-weld pipe fittings from Italy for the period February 1, 2020, through January 31, 2021. 1 On February 26, 2021, Core Pipe Products, Inc. and Taylor Forge Stainless, Inc. (the petitioners) timely requested an administrative review of the antidumping duty order with respect to Filmag Italia, SpA (Filmag).2 This request was in accordance with section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 351.213(b). Commerce received no other requests for an administrative review of the antidumping duty order for the POR. On April 1, 2021, pursuant to section 751(a) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i), Commerce initiated an administrative review of the antidumping duty order covering the POR with respect to Filmag. 3 On April 16, 2021, the petitioners timely withdrew their request for administrative review with respect to Filmag.4 Rescission of Administrative Review Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), Commerce will rescind an administrative review, in whole or in part, if the parties that requested the review withdraw their requests within 90 days of the date of publication of the notice of initiation of the requested review. The petitioners withdrew their request for review within 90 days of the publication date of the Initiation Notice. No other parties requested an administrative review of the antidumping duty order. Therefore, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), we are rescinding in its entirety the administrative review of the antidumping duty order on stainless steel butt-weld pipe fittings from Italy covering the period February 1, 2020, through January 31, 2021. Assessment Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries of stainless steel butt-weld pipe fittings from Italy during the POR. Antidumping duties shall be assessed at rates equal to the cash deposit rate of estimated antidumping duties required at the time of entry, or withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i). Commerce intends to issue appropriate assessment instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days after the date of publication of this notice in the Federal Register. Notification to Importers This notice serves as a final reminder to importers of their responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation of the relevant entries during this review period. Failure to comply with this requirement could result in Commerce’s presumption that reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of doubled antidumping duties. Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Orders This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely written notification of the return or destruction of APO materials or conversion to judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to comply with the regulations and terms of an APO is a sanctionable violation. Notification to Interested Parties This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

Background The Commission instituted these investigations effective May 26, 2020, following receipt of petitions filed with the Commission and Commerce by MTD Products, Inc., Valley City, Ohio. The final phase of the investigations was scheduled by the Commission following notification of preliminary determinations by Commerce that imports of walk-behind lawn mowers from China were subsidized within the meaning of section 703(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1671b(b)) and that imports of walk-behind lawn mowers from China and Vietnam were sold at LTFV within the meaning of 733(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1673b(b)). 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 January 29, 2021 (86 FR 7565). 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 18, 2021. All persons who requested the opportunity were permitted to participate. The Commission made these determinations pursuant to §§ 705(b) and 735(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1671d(b) and 19 U.S.C. 1673d(b)). It completed and filed its determinations in these investigations on July 6, 2021. The views of the Commission are contained in USITC Publication 5209 (July 2021), entitled Walk-Behind Lawn Mowers from China and Vietnam: Investigation Nos. 701–TA–648 and 731–TA–1521–1522 (Final).

The public record for these investigations may be viewed on the Commission’s electronic docket (EDIS) at https://edis.usitc.gov. 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). Parties to these investigations responded to written questions posed by the Commission in their posthearing briefs. Commerce has issued a final affirmative countervailing duty determination with respect to wind towers from Malaysia (86 FR 30593, June 9, 2021). The Commission is scheduled to issue its final determination as to whether an industry in the United States is materially injured or threatened with material injury, or the establishment of an industry in the United States is materially retarded, 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 by July 26, 2021. Commerce recently has issued a final affirmative antidumping duty determination with respect to wind towers from Spain (86 FR 33656, June 25, 2021). Accordingly, the Commission currently is issuing a supplemental schedule for its antidumping duty investigation on imports of wind towers from Spain. This supplemental schedule is as follows: The deadline for filing supplemental party comments on Commerce’s final antidumping duty determination is July 7, 2021. Supplemental party comments may address only Commerce’s final antidumping duty determination regarding imports of wind towers from 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 this investigation regarding subject imports from Spain will be placed in the nonpublic record on July 19, 2021, and a public version will be issued thereafter.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : Background On March 25, 2021, Commerce published the Preliminary Determination in this investigation in the Federal Register.1 The petitioner in this investigation is the Wind Tower Trade Coalition. In addition to the Government of Malaysia, the mandatory respondent in this investigation is CS Wind Malaysia Sdn Bhd (CS Wind). A summary of the events that occurred since Commerce published the Preliminary Determination is found in the Issues and Decision Memorandum, which is hereby adopted by this notice.2 The Issues and Decision Memorandum is a public document and is on file electronically via Enforcement and Compliance’s Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS).

In addition, a complete version of the Issues and Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly at http://enforcement.trade.gov/ frn/. Period of Investigation The period of investigation is January 1, 2019, through December 31, 2019. Scope of the Investigation The products covered by this investigation are wind towers from Malaysia. For a complete description of the scope of this investigation, see Appendix I. Verification Commerce was unable to conduct on- site verification of the information relied upon in making its final determination in this investigation. However, we took additional steps in lieu of on-site verification to verify the information relied upon in making this final determination, in accordance with section 782(i) of the Act.3 Analysis of Subsidy Programs and Comments Received The subsidy programs under investigation, and the issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs by parties in this investigation, are discussed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum. For a list of the issues raised by parties, and to which we responded in the Issues and Decision Memorandum, see Appendix II of this notice. Methodology Commerce conducted this investigation in accordance with section 701 of the Act. For each of the subsidy programs found countervailable, Commerce determines that there is a subsidy, i.e., a financial contribution by an ‘‘authority’’ that gives rise to a benefit to the recipient, and that the subsidy is specific.4 For a full description of the methodology underlying our final determination, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum. In making this final determination, Commerce is relying, in part, on facts otherwise available pursuant to section 776(a) of the Act. For a full discussion of our application of facts available, see the Preliminary Determination 5 and Comment 3 of the accompanying Issues and Decision Memorandum. Changes Since the Preliminary Determination Based on our review and analysis of the record and the comments received from parties, we made certain changes to the countervailable subsidy rate calculation for CS Wind. For a discussion of these changes, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum. All-Others Rate Section 705(c)(5)(A) of the Act provides that in the final determination, Commerce shall determine an all-others rate for companies not individually examined. This rate shall be an amount equal to the weighted average of the estimated subsidy rates established for those companies individually examined, excluding any rates that are zero, de minimis, or based entirely under section 776 of the Act. In this investigation, Commerce calculated an individual estimated countervailable subsidy rate for CS Wind that is not zero, de minimis, or based entirely on facts otherwise available.

Continuation of Suspension of Liquidation As a result of our Preliminary Determination and pursuant to sections 703(d)(1)(B) and (d)(2) of the Act, we instructed U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to suspend liquidation of entries of subject merchandise as described in the scope of the investigation section that were entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after March 25, 2021, the date of publication of the Preliminary Determination in the Federal Register. We are directing CBP to continue to suspend liquidation of all imports of the subject merchandise from Malaysia that were entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of publication of this notice in the Federal Register. The suspension of liquidation instructions will remain in effect until further notice. We are also directing CBP to collect countervailing duty deposits at the rate described above. If the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) issues a final affirmative injury determination, we will issue a countervailing duty order and require a cash deposit of estimated countervailing duties for such entries of subject merchandise in the amounts indicated above, in accordance with section 706(a) of the Act. If the ITC determines that material injury, or threat of material injury, does not exist, this proceeding will be terminated, and all cash deposits will be refunded or canceled. ITC Notification In accordance with section 705(d) of the Act, Commerce will notify the ITC of its final affirmative determination. Because Commerce’s final determination is affirmative, in accordance with section 705(b) of the Act, the ITC will make its final determination as to whether the domestic industry in the United States is materially injured, or threatened with material injury, by reason of wind towers from Malaysia no later than 45 days after our final determination. In addition, we are making available to the ITC all non-privileged and non- proprietary information related to this investigation. We will allow the ITC access to all privileged and business proprietary information in our files, provided the ITC confirms that it will not disclose such information, either publicly or under an administrative protective order (APO), without the written consent of the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance. Notification Regarding APO In the event that the ITC issues a final negative injury determination, this notice will serve as the only reminder to parties subject to the APO of their responsibility concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely written notification of the return/ destruction of APO materials, or conversion to judicial protective order, is hereby requested. Failure to comply with the regulations and terms of an APO is a violation which is subject to sanction. Notification to Interested Parties This determination is issued and published pursuant to sections 705(d) and 771(i) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.210(c). Dated: June 2, 2021. Christian Marsh, Acting Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance. Appendix I Scope of the Investigation The merchandise covered by this investigation consists of certain wind towers, whether or not tapered, and sections thereof. Certain wind towers support the nacelle and rotor blades in a wind turbine with a minimum rated electrical power generation capacity in excess of 100 kilowatts and with a minimum height of 50 meters measured from the base of the tower to the bottom of the nacelle (i.e., where the top of the tower and nacelle are joined) when fully assembled. A wind tower section consists of, at a minimum, multiple steel plates rolled into cylindrical or conical shapes and welded together (or otherwise attached) to form a steel shell, regardless of coating, end-finish, painting, treatment, or method of manufacture, and with or without flanges, doors, or internal or external components (e.g., flooring/decking, ladders, lifts, electrical buss boxes, electrical cabling, conduit, cable harness for nacelle generator, interior lighting, tool and storage lockers) attached to the wind tower section. Several wind tower sections are normally required to form a completed wind tower. Wind towers and sections thereof are included within the scope whether or not they are joined with nonsubject merchandise, such as nacelles or rotor blades, and whether or not they have internal or external components attached to the subject merchandise. Specifically excluded from the scope are nacelles and rotor blades, regardless of whether they are attached to the wind tower. Also excluded are any internal or external components which are not attached to the wind towers or sections thereof, unless those components are shipped with the tower sections. Merchandise covered by this investigation is currently classified in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) under subheading 7308.20.0020 or 8502.31.0000. Wind towers of iron or steel are classified under HTSUS 7308.20.0020 when imported separately as a tower or tower section(s). Wind towers may be classified under HTSUS 8502.31.0000 when imported as combination goods with a wind turbine (i.e., accompanying nacelles and/or rotor blades). While the HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and customs purposes, the written description of the scope of this investigation is dispositive.

SUMMARY : The Department of Commerce, in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA), invites the general public and other Federal agencies to comment on proposed, and continuing information collections, which helps us assess the impact of our information collection requirements and minimize the public’s reporting burden. The purpose of this notice is to allow for 60 days of public comment preceding submission of the collection to OMB. DATES : To ensure consideration, comments regarding this proposed information collection must be received on or before August 9, 2021. ADDRESSES : Interested persons are invited to submit written comments to Adrienne Thomas, NOAA PRA Officer, at Adrienne.thomas@noaa.gov. Please reference OMB Control Number 0648– 0227 in the subject line of your comments. Do not submit Confidential Business Information or otherwise sensitive or protected information.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : I. Abstract This request is for extension of a current information collection. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) operates a minimum of four meteorological satellite imagery transmission systems, two from geostationary operational environmental (GOES) satellites and two from polar- orbiting television infrared operational (TIROS) satellites. In addition, legacy backup and standby polar-orbiting satellites continue to be operated as their health permits. The data transmitted are available worldwide, and any user can establish a ground receiving station for reception of the data without the prior consent, notification, or other approval from NOAA. With such an open access policy, it is currently not possible to have a comprehensive understanding of the range and numbers of the data users and application of the data received and/or used. The purpose of collecting the information contained in the ‘‘Questionnaire’’ is to satisfy the following objectives: (1) To comply with international agreements such as the Department of Commerce (DOC)/ NOAA’s memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), so that NOAA can provide environmental satellite data and processed satellite data products to the public domain, and (2) To improve Government efficiencies of data dissemination using cost-saving technologies to minimize the expenditure of personnel and financial resources. The NOAA Policy on Partnerships in the Provision of Environmental Information is also pertinent to this information collection. This policy was developed to strengthen the partnership among government, academia, and the private sector, which provides the nation with high quality environmental information. The collection of information from a respondent is initiated when an individual contacts National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS) via letter, VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:13 Jun 08, 2021 Jkt 253001 PO 00000 Frm 00010 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\09JNN1.SGM 09JNN1 lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── === USITC Determination – Final (1) === 41087Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 144 / Friday, July 30, 2021 / Notices 1 The record is defined in § 207.2(f) of the Commission’s Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 207.2(f)). 2 86 FR 30593 (June 9, 2021). 5:00 p.m. (MDT); and Thursday, August 19, 2021, from 9:30 a.m. to approximately 4:00 p.m. (MDT).

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 § 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.

SUMMARY : The Department of Commerce (Commerce) preliminarily determines that utility scale wind towers (wind towers) from Malaysia are not being, or are not likely to be, sold in the United States at less than fair value (LTFV). The period of investigation (POI) is July 1, 2019, through June 30, 2020. Interested parties are invited to comment on this preliminary determination. DATES : Applicable May 24, 2021. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT : Jerry Huang, AD/CVD Operations, Office V, Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482–4047. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : Background This preliminary determination is made in accordance with section 733(b) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). Commerce published the notice of initiation of this investigation on November 16, 2020. 1 For a complete description of the events that followed the initiation of this investigation, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. 2 A list of topics included in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum is included as Appendix II to this notice. The Preliminary Decision Memorandum is a public document and is on file electronically via Enforcement and Compliance’s Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS). ACCESS is available to registered users at http:// access.trade.gov. In addition, a complete version of the Preliminary Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly at http://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/. Scope of the Investigation The products covered by this investigation are utility scale wind towers from Malaysia. For a complete description of the scope of this investigation, see Appendix I to this notice. Scope Comments In accordance with the Preamble to Commerce’s regulations,3 we set aside a period of time in the Initiation Notice for parties to raise issues regarding product coverage (i.e., scope). 4 We did not receive comments concerning the scope of the investigation of wind towers as it appeared in the Initiation Notice. Methodology Commerce is conducting this investigation in accordance with section 731 of the Act. Commerce has calculated export price in accordance with section 772(a) of the Act. Normal value (NV) is calculated in accordance with section 773(e) of the Act. For a full description of the methodology underlying the preliminary determination, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. Preliminary Determination Commerce preliminarily determines that the following estimated weighted- average dumping margins exist: Exporter/producer Dumping margin (percent) CS Wind Corporation/CS Wind Malaysia Sdn Bhd 5 ................. 0.00 Commerce preliminarily determines that CS Wind has not made sales of wind towers at LTFV. Further, because CS Wind is the only party for which an estimated weighted-average dumping margin has been calculated for this preliminary determination, Commerce preliminarily determines that wind towers from Malaysia have not been sold in the United States at LTFV during the POI. Consistent with section 733(d) of the Act, Commerce has not calculated an estimated weighted-average dumping margin for all other producers and exporters because it has not made an affirmative preliminary determination of sales at LTFV. Suspension of Liquidation Because Commerce has made a negative preliminary determination of sales at LTFV with regard to subject merchandise, Commerce will not direct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to suspend liquidation or to require a cash deposit of estimated antidumping duties for entries of wind towers from Malaysia. Disclosure Commerce intends to disclose its calculations and analysis performed to interested parties in this preliminary determination within five days of any public announcement or, if there is no public announcement, within five days of the date of publication of this notice in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). Verification As provided in section 782(i)(1) of the Act, Commerce intends to verify the information relied upon in making its final determination. Normally, Commerce verifies information using standard procedures, including an on- site examination of original accounting, financial, and sales documentation. However, due to current travel restrictions in response to the global COVID–19 pandemic, Commerce is unable to conduct on-site verification in this investigation. Accordingly, we intend to verify the information relied upon in making the final determination through alternative means in lieu of an on-site verification.

Rebuttal briefs, limited to issues raised in case briefs, may be submitted no later than seven days after the deadline for case briefs. 6 Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.309(c)(2) and (d)(2), parties who submit case briefs or rebuttal briefs in this investigation are encouraged to submit with each argument: (1) A statement of the issue; (2) a brief summary of the argument; and (3) a table of authorities. Commerce has modified certain of its requirements for service documents containing business proprietary information, until further notice.7 Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), interested parties who wish to request a hearing, limited to issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs, must submit a written request to the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance, U.S. Department of Commerce, within 30 days after the date of publication of this notice. Requests should contain the party’s name, address, and telephone number, the number of participants, whether any participant is a foreign national, and a list of the issues to be discussed. If a request for a hearing is made, Commerce intends to hold the hearing at a time and date to be determined. Parties should confirm by telephone the date, time, and location of the hearing two days before the scheduled date. Postponement of Final Determination Section 735(a)(2)(B) of the Act provides that a final determination may be postponed until not later than 135 days after the date of the publication of the preliminary determination if, in the event of a negative preliminary determination, a request for such postponement is made by the petitioner. On May 17, 2021, the Wind Tower Trade Coalition (the petitioner) requested that Commerce postpone the final determination. 8 In accordance with section 735(a)(2)(B) of the Act, because the preliminary determination is negative, and the petitioner has requested the postponement of the final determination, Commerce is postponing the final determination. Accordingly, Commerce will make its final determination by no later than 135 days after the date of publication of this preliminary determination, pursuant to section 735(a)(2) of the Act. International Trade Commission Notification In accordance with section 733(f) of the Act, Commerce will notify the International Trade Commission (ITC) of its preliminary determination. If the final determination is affirmative, the ITC will determine 75 days after the final determination whether these imports are materially injuring, or threaten material injury to, the U.S. industry. Notification to Interested Parties This determination is issued and published in accordance with sections 733(f) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.205(c). Dated: May 18, 2021.

Appendix I Scope of the Investigation The merchandise covered by this investigation consists of certain wind towers, whether or not tapered, and sections thereof. Certain wind towers support the nacelle and rotor blades in a wind turbine with a minimum rated electrical power generation capacity in excess of 100 kilowatts and with a minimum height of 50 meters measured from the base of the tower to the bottom of the nacelle (i.e., where the top of the tower and nacelle are joined) when fully assembled. A wind tower section consists of, at a minimum, multiple steel plates rolled into cylindrical or conical shapes and welded together (or otherwise attached) to form a steel shell, regardless of coating, end-finish, painting, treatment, or method of manufacture, and with or without flanges, doors, or internal or external components (e.g., flooring/decking, ladders, lifts, electrical buss boxes, electrical cabling, conduit, cable harness for nacelle generator, interior lighting, tool and storage lockers) attached to the wind tower section. Several wind tower sections are normally required to form a completed wind tower. Wind towers and sections thereof are included within the scope whether or not they are joined with non-subject merchandise, such as nacelles or rotor blades, and whether or not they have internal or external components attached to the subject merchandise. Specifically excluded from the scope are nacelles and rotor blades, regardless of whether they are attached to the wind tower. Also excluded are any internal or external components which are not attached to the wind towers or sections thereof, unless those components are shipped with the tower sections. Merchandise covered by this investigation is currently classified in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) under subheading 7308.20.0020 or 8502.31.0000. Wind towers of iron or steel are classified under HTSUS 7308.20.0020 when imported separately as a tower or tower section(s). Wind towers may be classified under HTSUS 8502.31.0000 when imported as combination goods with a wind turbine (i.e., accompanying nacelles and/or rotor blades). While the HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and customs purposes, the written description of the scope of this investigation is dispositive.

This notice will not affect the current cash deposit rate. Liquidation of Suspended Entries At this time, Commerce remains enjoined by CIT order from liquidating entries that: Were produced and/or exported by Borusan and were entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption during the period May 1, 2017, through April 30, 2018. These entries will remain enjoined pursuant to the terms of the injunction during the pendency of any appeals process. In the event the CIT’s ruling is not appealed, or, if appealed, upheld by a final and conclusive court decision, Commerce intends to instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties on unliquidated entries of subject merchandise produced and exported by Borusan in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b). We will instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries covered by this review when the importer-specific ad valorem assessment rate is not zero or de minimis. Where an import-specific ad valorem assessment rate is zero or de minimis,13 we will instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : Background On April 2, 2021, Commerce published in the Federal Register its affirmative preliminary determination in the LTFV investigation of wind towers from Spain. 1 We invited interested parties to comment on the Preliminary Determination. A summary of the events that occurred since Commerce published the Preliminary Determination, as well as a full discussion of the issues raised by parties for this final determination, may be found in the Issues and Decision Memorandum.2 Scope of the Investigation The products covered by this investigation are wind towers from Spain. For a full description of the scope of this investigation, see Appendix I of this notice. Analysis of Comments Received All issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs submitted by parties in this investigation are addressed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum. A list of the issues addressed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum is attached to this notice as Appendix II. The Issues and Decision Memorandum is a public document and is on file electronically via Enforcement and Compliance’s Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS). ACCESS is available to registered users at https:// access.trade.gov. In addition, a complete version of the Issues and Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly at http://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/. Verification As stated in the Preliminary Determination, after being selected as the mandatory respondent, Vestas Eolica S.A.U. (Vestas) discontinued its participation in this investigation. Accordingly, Commerce based the Preliminary Determination entirely on the application of facts available with adverse inferences (AFA), and did not conduct verification under section 782(i) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). Use of Adverse Facts Available In the Preliminary Determination, Commerce found that Vestas failed to participate to the best of its ability in this investigation. We also found six other companies did not cooperate in this investigation by failing to provide a timely response to Commerce’s quantity and value (Q&V) questionnaires. These companies are: Acciona Windpower S.A.; Gamesa Energy Transmission; Haizea Wind Group; Kuzar Systems, S.L.; Proyecto Integrales y Logisticos S.A.A. (Proinlosa); and Windar Revonables. Therefore, in the Preliminary Determination, pursuant to sections 776(a) and (b) of the Act, we assigned these companies dumping margins based on total AFA.

With respect to Proinlosa, in light of information provided following the Preliminary Determination, we determine that Proinlosa attempted to contact Commerce in a timely manner regarding the Q&V questionnaire in an effort to timely submit its Q&V questionnaire response. Accordingly, having considered the facts and circumstances surrounding Proinlosa’s Q&V response, we no longer find that application of total AFA is appropriate with respect to Proinlosa. For further discussion of our decision concerning Proinlosa, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum. For all other companies, i.e., Vestas and the five companies that failed to respond to Commerce’s Q&V questionnaire, we continue to find the application of total AFA, pursuant to sections 776(a) and (b) of the Act, is warranted. Changes Since the Preliminary Determination Based on our analysis of comments received, we have modified our treatment of Proinlosa. All-Others Rate As discussed in the Preliminary Determination, Commerce based the estimated weighted-average dumping margin for all other producers and exporters on the only dumping margin alleged in the Petition, pursuant to section 735(c)(5)(B) of the Act. We made no changes to this rate for this final determination. Final Determination The final estimated weighted-average dumping margins are as follows: Exporter/producer Dumping margin (percent) Vestas Eolica S.A.U ............. 73.00 Acciona Windpower S.A ....... 73.00 Gamesa Energy Trans- mission .............................. 73.00 Haizea Wind Group .............. 73.00 Kuzar Systems, S.L .............. 73.00 Windar Renovables .............. 73.00 All Others .............................. 73.00 Disclosure The estimated weighted-average dumping margins assigned to the mandatory respondent and non- responsive companies in this investigation are based on total AFA. These rates are based on information from the Petition, and are unchanged from the Preliminary Determination. Accordingly, there are no calculations to disclose for this final determination. Continuation of Suspension of Liquidation In accordance with section 735(c)(1)(B) of the Act, for this final determination, we will direct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to continue to suspend liquidation of all entries of wind towers from Spain, as described in Appendix I of this notice, which are entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after April 2, 2021, the date of publication in the Federal Register of the affirmative Preliminary Determination. Pursuant to section 735(c)(1)(B)(ii) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.210(d), we will instruct CBP to require a cash deposit for such entries of merchandise equal to the estimated weighted-average dumping margin as follows: (1) The cash deposit rate for the companies listed in the table above will be equal to the company-specific estimated weighted-average dumping margin identified for that company; (2) if the exporter is not a company identified above, but the producer is, then the cash deposit rate will be equal to the estimated weighted-average dumping margin established for that producer of the subject merchandise; and (3) the cash deposit rate for all other producers and exporters will be equal to the all- others estimated weighted-average dumping margin. These suspension of liquidation instructions will remain in effect until further notice. International Trade Commission Notification In accordance with section 735(d) of the Act, we will notify the International Trade Commission (ITC) of the final affirmative determination of sales at LTFV. Because Commerce’s final determination is affirmative, in accordance with section 735(b)(2) of the Act, the ITC will make its final determination as to whether the domestic industry in the United States is materially injured, or threatened with material injury, by reason of imports, or sales (or the likelihood of sales) for importation of wind towers from Spain no later than 45 days after this final determination. If the ITC determines that such injury does not exist, this proceeding will be terminated, and all cash deposits will be refunded. If the ITC determines that such injury does exist, Commerce will issue an antidumping duty order directing CBP to assess, upon further instruction by Commerce, antidumping duties on all imports of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the effective date of the suspension of liquidation, as discussed above in the ‘‘Continuation of Suspension of Liquidation’’ section. Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Orders This notice serves as a reminder to parties subject to an administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely written notification of return or destruction of APO materials, or conversion to judicial protective order, is hereby requested. Failure to comply with the regulations and the terms of an APO is a sanctionable violation. Notification to Interested Parties We are issuing and publishing this determination and notice in accordance with sections 735(d) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.210(c). Dated: June 14, 2021. Christian Marsh, Acting Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.

However, on June 17, 2021, the President signed into law the Juneteenth National Independence Day Act, making June 19 a Federal holiday. See Juneteenth National Independence Day Act, S. 475, Public Law 117–17 (2021). Because the Federal holiday fell on a Saturday, it was observed on Friday, June 18, 2021. Where a deadline falls on a weekend or Federal holiday, the appropriate deadline is the next business day. See Notice of Clarification: Application of ‘‘Next Business Day’’ Rule for Administrative Determination Deadlines Pursuant to the Tariff Act of 1930, As Amended, 70 FR 24533 (May 10, 2005). Accordingly, the deadline for these preliminary results is on June 21, 2021. 4 See Memorandum, ‘‘Decision Memorandum for the Preliminary Results of the 2019–2020 Administrative Review of the Antidumping Duty Order on Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp from India,’’ dated concurrently with, and hereby adopted by, this notice (Preliminary Decision Memorandum). 5 For a complete description of the scope of the order, see Preliminary Decision Memorandum. 6 This rate is based on the weighted-average of the margins calculated for those companies selected for individual review using the publicly-ranged U.S. quantities. Because we cannot apply our normal methodology of calculating a weighted-average margin due to requests to protect business proprietary information, we find this rate to be the best proxy of the actual weighted-average margin they are joined with non-subject merchandise, such as nacelles or rotor blades, and whether or not they have internal or external components attached to the subject merchandise. Specifically excluded from the scope are nacelles and rotor blades, regardless of whether they are attached to the wind tower. Also excluded are any internal or external components which are not attached to the wind towers or sections thereof, unless those components are shipped with the tower sections. Merchandise covered by this investigation is currently classified in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) under subheading 7308.20.0020 or 8502.31.0000. Wind towers of iron or steel are classified under HTSUS 7308.20.0020 when imported separately as a tower or tower section(s).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : Background On March 25, 2021, Commerce published the Preliminary Determination of the countervailing duty (CVD) investigation, which aligned the final determination in this CVD investigation with the final determination in the companion antidumping duty investigation of wind towers from India. 1 Commerce invited interested parties to comment on the Preliminary Determination. On July 20, 2021, we received case briefs from the Government of India, Vestas Wind Technology India Private Limited (Vestas); Anand Engineering Products Private Limited, Windar Renewable Energy Private Limited, and GRI Towers India Private Limited (collectively, the tollers); and the Wind Tower Trade Coalition (the petitioner).2 On July 27, 2021, we received rebuttal briefs from Vestas, the tollers, and the petitioner.3 On September 1, 2021, we held a public hearing at the request of Vestas, the tollers, and the petitioner.4 A summary of the events that occurred since Commerce published the Preliminary Determination, as well as a full discussion of the issues raised by parties for this final determination, are discussed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum.5 Scope of the Investigation The products covered by this investigation are wind towers from India. For a complete description of the scope of the investigation, see Appendix I. Analysis of Subsidy Programs and Comments Received The subsidy programs under investigation and the issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs by parties in this investigation are discussed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum. A list of the issues that parties raised is attached to this notice as Appendix II. The Issues and Decision Memorandum is a public document and is on file electronically via Enforcement and Compliance’s Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS). ACCESS is available to registered users at http://access.trade.gov. In addition, a complete version of the Issues and Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly at https://access.trade.gov/ public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx. Verification Commerce was unable to conduct on- site verification of the information relied upon in making its final determination in this investigation. However, we took additional steps in lieu of an on-site verification to verify the information relied upon in making this final determination, in accordance with section 782(i) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).6 Methodology Commerce conducted this investigation in accordance with section 701 of the Act. For each of the subsidy programs found countervailable, Commerce determines that there is a subsidy, i.e., a financial contribution by an ‘‘authority’’ that gives rise to a benefit to the recipient, and that the subsidy is specific.7 For a full description of the methodology underlying our final determination, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum. As discussed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum, because several respondents did not act to the best of their ability in responding to our requests for information, we drew adverse inferences, where appropriate, in selecting from among the facts otherwise available, pursuant to VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:01 Oct 12, 2021 Jkt 256001 PO 00000 Frm 00012 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\13OCN1.SGM 13OCN1 jspears on DSK121TN23PROD with NOTICES1 56897Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 195 / Wednesday, October 13, 2021 / Notices 8 See Preliminary Determination. sections 776(a) and 776(b) of the Act. The respondents Naiks Brass & Iron Works, Nordex India Pvt., Prommada Hindustan, Suzlon Energy, Vinayaka Energy Tek, Wish Energy Solutions Pvt Ltd, and Zeeco India Pvt. Ltd. did not respond to Commerce’s quantity and value questionnaire, and we have continued to use an adverse inference in our selection of facts available for determining the subsidy rates for these companies, pursuant to section 776(d) of the Act. For further information, see the section ‘‘Use of Facts Otherwise Available and Adverse Inferences’’ in the accompanying Issues and Decision Memorandum. Changes Since the Preliminary Determination Based on our review and analysis of the comments received from parties and our verification findings, we made certain changes to the subsidy rate calculations for Vestas. For a discussion of these changes, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum. All-Others Rate In accordance with section 705(c)(5)(A) of the Act, we continue to assign the countervailable subsidy rate calculated for Vestas as the all-others rate applicable to all exporters and/or producers not individually examined. 8 Final Determination In accordance with section 705(c)(1)(B)(i)(I) of the Act, we calculated an individual estimated subsidy rate for Vestas. We determine that the following total estimated net countervailable subsidy rates exist: Producer/exporter Percent ad valorem Vestas Wind Technology India Private Limited ........................ 2.25 Naiks Brass & Iron Works * ........ 397.70 Nordex India Pvt * ....................... 397.70 Prommada Hindustan * ............... 397.70 Suzlon Energy * .......................... 397.70 Vinayaka Energy Tek * ............... 397.70 Wish Energy Solutions Pvt Ltd * 397.70 Zeeco India Pvt.

Disclosure We intend to disclose to interested parties the calculations and analysis performed in this final determination within five days of the date of publication of this notice in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). Continuation of Suspension of Liquidation As a result of our Preliminary Determination, and pursuant to sections 703(d)(1)(B) and (d)(2) of the Act, Commerce instructed U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to suspend liquidation of entries of subject merchandise as described in the scope of the investigation section, that were entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of publication of the Preliminary Determination in the Federal Register. In accordance with section 703(d) of the Act, we instructed CBP to discontinue the suspension of liquidation for CVD purposes for subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, on or after July 23, 2021, but to continue the suspension of liquidation of all entries from March 25, 2021 through July 22, 2021. If the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) issues a final affirmative injury determination, we will issue a CVD order, reinstate the suspension of liquidation under section 706(a) of the Act, and require a cash deposit of estimated countervailing duties for such entries of subject merchandise in the amounts indicated above. If the ITC determines that material injury, or threat of material injury, does not exist, this proceeding will be terminated, and all estimated duties deposited or securities posted as a result of the suspension of liquidation will be refunded or canceled. ITC Notification In accordance with section 705(d) of the Act, we will notify the ITC of our determination. Because the final determination in this proceeding is affirmative, in accordance with section 705(b) of the Act, the ITC will make its final determination as to whether the domestic industry in the United States is materially injured, or threatened with material injury, by reason of imports of wind towers from Indonesia no later than 45 days after our final determination. If the ITC determines that material injury or threat of material injury does not exist, the proceeding will be terminated, and all cash deposits will be refunded. If the ITC determines that material injury or threat of material injury does exist, Commerce will issue a CVD order directing CBP to assess, upon further instruction by Commerce, countervailing duties on all imports of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the effective date of the suspension of liquidation, as discussed above in the ‘‘Continuation of Suspension of Liquidation’’ section. Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Orders In the event the ITC issues a final negative injury determination, this notice will serve as the only reminder to parties subject to an administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility concerning the destruction of proprietary information disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely written notification of the return or destruction of APO materials or conversion to judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to comply with the regulations and terms of an APO is a violation subject to sanction.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : Background On May 24, 2021, Commerce published in the Federal Register the preliminary affirmative determination in the LTFV investigation of wind towers from India. 1 Commerce invited interested parties to comment on the Preliminary Determination. On June 24, 2021, we received case briefs from Vestas Wind Technology India Private Limited (Vestas India); Anand Engineering Products Private Limited, Windar Renewable Energy Private Limited, and GRI Towers India Private Limited (collectively, Other Producers); and the Wind Tower Trade Coalition (the petitioner).2 On August 17, 2021, we held a public hearing at the request of Vestas India, the Other Producers and the petitioner.3 A summary of the events that occurred since Commerce published the Preliminary Determination, may be found in the Issues and Decision Memorandum.4 Scope of the Investigation The products covered by this investigation are wind towers from India. For a complete description of the scope of this investigation, see Appendix I. Analysis of Comments Received All issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs that were submitted by parties in this investigation are addressed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum. A list of the issues addressed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum is attached to this notice as Appendix II. The Issues and Decision Memorandum is a public document and is on file electronically via Enforcement and Compliance’s Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS). ACCESS is available to registered users at https://access.trade.gov. In addition, a complete version of the Issues and Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly at https://access.trade.gov/ public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx. Verification Because the sole mandatory respondent in this investigation, Vestas India, did not cooperate in this investigation by failing to file a complete response to Commerce’s supplemental section D questionnaire by the established deadline, Commerce reached the Preliminary Determination entirely on the basis of facts available with the application of adverse inferences (AFA). As such, because the Preliminary Determination was based entirely on AFA, we did not conduct a verification. Use of Adverse Facts Available In the Preliminary Determination, Commerce found that the mandatory respondent, Vestas India, did not cooperate in this investigation by failing to file a complete response to Commerce’s supplemental section D questionnaire by the established deadline. We also found that five other companies did not cooperate in this investigation by failing to provide timely responses to Commerce’s quantity and value (Q&V) questionnaire. These companies are: Acciona Wind Power India Pvt. Ltd.; Nordex India Pvt.

Ltd.; Prommada Hindustan Private Ltd.; Vinayaka Energy Tek; and Zeeco India Pvt. Ltd. Therefore, in the Preliminary Determination, pursuant to sections 776(a) and (b) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), we assigned Vestas India and the five companies which failed to timely respond to Commerce’s Q&V questionnaire a dumping margin based on total AFA. In applying total AFA, we assigned an estimated weighted-average dumping margin of 54.03 percent, the sole dumping margin alleged in the Petition, 5 which Commerce corroborated to the extent practicable within the meaning of section 776(c) of the Act. We continue to find the application of total AFA to Vestas India and the five companies which failed to respond to Commerce’s Q&V questionnaire, pursuant to sections 776(a) and (b) of the Act, is warranted in the final determination. Changes Since the Preliminary Determination Based on our analysis of comments received, we made no changes to the Preliminary Determination. All-Others Rate As discussed in the Preliminary Determination, Commerce based the estimated weighted-average dumping margin for all other producers and exporters on the only dumping margin alleged in the Petition, pursuant to section 735(c)(5)(B) of the Act. We made no changes to this rate for this final determination. Final Determination The final estimated weighted-average dumping margins are as follows: Exporter/producer Dumping margin (percent) Cash deposit rate (adjusted for subsidy offsets) 6 (percent) Vestas Wind Technology India Private Limited ........................................................................................... 54.03 51.87 Acciona Wind Power India Pvt. Ltd ............................................................................................................. 54.03 51.87 Nordex India Pvt.

Ltd .................................................................................................................................... 54.03 51.87 All Others ..................................................................................................................................................... 54.03 51.87 Disclosure The estimated weighted-average dumping margins assigned to Vestas India and the non-responsive companies in this investigation are based on total AFA. These rates are based on information from the Petition, and are unchanged from the Preliminary Determination. Accordingly, there are no calculations to disclose for this final determination. Continuation of Suspension of Liquidation In accordance with section 735(c)(1)(B) of the Act, for this final determination, we will direct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to continue to suspend liquidation of all appropriate entries of wind towers from India, as described in Appendix I of this notice, which were entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after May 24, 2021, the date of publication in the Federal Register of the affirmative Preliminary Determination. Pursuant to section 735(c)(1)(B)(ii) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.210(d), we will instruct CBP to require a cash deposit equal to the estimated weighted-average dumping margin or the estimated all- others rate, as follows: (1) The cash deposit rate for the companies listed above will be equal to the company- specific estimated weighted-average dumping margin determined in this final determination; (2) if the exporter is not identified above, but the producer is, then the cash deposit rate will be equal to the company-specific estimated weighted-average dumping margin established for that producer of the subject merchandise; and (3) the cash deposit rate for all other producers and exporters will be equal to the all-others estimated weighted-average dumping margin listed above. These suspension of liquidation instructions will remain in effect until further notice. International Trade Commission Notification In accordance with section 735(d) of the Act, we will notify the International Trade Commission (ITC) of this final affirmative determination of sales at LTFV. Because Commerce’s final determination is affirmative, in accordance with section 735(b)(2) of the Act, the ITC will make its final determination as to whether the domestic industry in the United States is materially injured, or threatened with material injury, by reason of imports or sales (or the likelihood of sales) for importation of wind towers from India no later than 45 days after this final determination. If the ITC determines that such injury does not exist, this proceeding will be terminated, all cash deposits posted will be refunded, and suspension of liquidation will be lifted. If the ITC determines that such injury does exist, Commerce will issue an antidumping duty order directing CBP to assess, upon further instruction by Commerce, antidumping duties on all imports of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the effective date of the suspension of liquidation, as discussed above in the ‘‘Continuation of Suspension of Liquidation’’ section. Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Orders This notice will serve as a final reminder to the parties subject to administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely written notification of return or destruction of APO materials or conversion to judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to comply with the regulations and the terms of an APO is a sanctionable violation.

Appendix I—Scope of the Investigation The merchandise covered by this investigation consists of certain wind towers, whether or not tapered, and sections thereof. Certain wind towers support the nacelle and rotor blades in a wind turbine with a minimum rated electrical power generation capacity in excess of 100 kilowatts and with a minimum height of 50 meters measured from the base of the tower to the bottom of the nacelle (i.e., where the top of the tower and nacelle are joined) when fully assembled. A wind tower section consists of, at a minimum, multiple steel plates rolled into cylindrical or conical shapes and welded together (or otherwise attached) to form a steel shell, regardless of coating, end-finish, painting, treatment, or method of manufacture, and with or without flanges, doors, or internal or external components (e.g., flooring/decking, ladders, lifts, electrical buss boxes, electrical cabling, conduit, cable harness for nacelle generator, interior lighting, tool and storage lockers) attached to the wind tower section. Several wind tower sections are normally required to form a completed wind tower. Wind towers and sections thereof are included within the scope whether or not they are joined with non-subject merchandise, such as nacelles or rotor blades, and whether or not they have internal or external components attached to the subject merchandise. Specifically excluded from the scope are nacelles and rotor blades, regardless of whether they are attached to the wind tower. Also excluded are any internal or external components which are not attached to the wind towers or sections thereof, unless those components are shipped with the tower sections. Merchandise covered by this investigation is currently classified in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) under subheading 7308.20.0020 or 8502.31.0000. Wind towers of iron or steel are classified under HTSUS 7308.20.0020 when imported separately as a tower or tower section(s). Wind towers may be classified under HTSUS 8502.31.0000 when imported as combination goods with a wind turbine (i.e., accompanying nacelles and/or rotor blades).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : Background On April 1, 2021, Commerce published in the Federal Register a notice of opportunity to request an administrative review of the AD order on magnesium metal from China for the POR. 1 On June 11, 2021, in response to a timely request from US Magnesium LLC (the petitioner), 2 and in accordance with section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i), we initiated an administrative review of the Order with respect to TMI and TMM.3 Scope of the Order The product covered by the Order is magnesium metal from China, which includes primary and secondary alloy magnesium metal, regardless of chemistry, raw material source, form, shape, or size. Magnesium is a metal or alloy containing by weight primarily the element magnesium. Primary magnesium is produced by decomposing raw materials into magnesium metal. Secondary magnesium is produced by recycling magnesium-based scrap into magnesium metal. The magnesium covered by the Order includes blends of primary and secondary magnesium. The subject merchandise includes the following alloy magnesium metal products made from primary and/or secondary magnesium including, without limitation, magnesium cast into ingots, slabs, rounds, billets, and other shapes; magnesium ground, chipped, crushed, or machined into rasping, granules, turnings, chips, powder, briquettes, and other shapes; and products that contain 50 percent or greater, but less than 99.8 percent, magnesium, by weight, and that have been entered into the United States as conforming to an ‘‘ASTM Specification for Magnesium Alloy’’ 4 and are thus outside the scope of the existing antidumping orders on magnesium from China (generally referred to as ‘‘alloy’’ magnesium). The scope of the Order excludes: (1) All forms of pure magnesium, including chemical combinations of magnesium and other material(s) in which the pure magnesium content is 50 percent or greater, but less than 99.8 percent, by weight, that do not conform to an ‘‘ASTM Specification for Magnesium Alloy’’; 5 (2) magnesium that is in liquid or molten form; and (3) mixtures VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:01 Oct 12, 2021 Jkt 256001 PO 00000 Frm 00008 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\13OCN1.SGM 13OCN1 jspears on DSK121TN23PROD with NOTICES1 ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── === USITC Determination – Final (3) === 68683Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 230 / Friday, December 3, 2021 / Notices 1 The record is defined in § 207.2(f) of the Commission’s Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 207.2(f)). 2 86 FR 56890, October 13, 2021; 86 56894, October 13, 2021; and 86 FR 56896, October 13, 2021. annual grasses), riparian/water quality/ fisheries, socioeconomics, visual resources, and Wilderness Study Areas.

[FR Doc. 2021–26305 Filed 12–2–21; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4310–33–P INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION [Investigation Nos. 701–TA–660 and 731– TA–1543–1544 (Final)] Utility Scale Wind Towers From India and Malaysia Determinations On the basis of the record 1 developed in the subject investigations, the United States International Trade Commission (‘‘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 (‘‘wind towers’’) from India and 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 sold in the United States at less than fair value (‘‘LTFV’’) and to be subsidized by the government of India. 2 Background The Commission instituted antidumping and countervailing duty investigations 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 established a general schedule for the conduct of the final phase of its investigations on wind towers from India, Malaysia, and Spain following preliminary determinations by Commerce that imports of wind towers were subsidized by the governments of India and Malaysia. 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 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 proceeding requested a hearing, the Commission canceled its hearing in connection with this proceeding (86 FR 31730, June 9, 2021). Parties to this proceeding responded to written questions posed by the Commission in their posthearing briefs. The investigation schedules became staggered when Commerce did not align its countervailing duty investigation (86 FR 15887, March 25, 2021) with its antidumping duty investigation regarding imports from Malaysia, its antidumping duty investigation regarding imports from Spain, or its countervailing and antidumping duty investigations regarding imports from India. On July 26, 2021, the Commission issued a final affirmative determination in its countervailing duty investigation of wind towers from Malaysia (86 FR 41087, July 30, 2021). On August 9, 2021, the Commission issued a final affirmative determination in its antidumping duty investigation of wind towers from Spain (86 FR 44748, August 13, 2021). Following notification of final determinations by Commerce that imports of wind towers from India were being subsidized within the meaning of section 703(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1671b(b)) and that imports of wind towers from India and Malaysia were being sold at LTFV within the meaning of section 735(a) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1673d(a)), notice of the supplemental scheduling of the final phase of the Commission’s countervailing duty investigation regarding India and antidumping duty investigations regarding India and Malaysia 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 October 20, 2021 (86 FR 58098). The Commission made these determinations pursuant to section 735(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1673d(b)). It completed and filed its determinations in these investigations on November 29, 2021. The views of the Commission are contained in USITC Publication 5247 (November 2021), entitled Utility Scale Wind Towers from India and Malaysia: Investigation Nos. 701–TA–660 and 731–TA–1543–1544 (Final).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : The BLM is processing an application under section 209 of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act (FLPMA) to convey the federally owned mineral interests that total 3,548.41 acres situated in Tooele County, Utah. The location of the federally owned mineral interests proposed for conveyance is identical in location to the privately owned surface interest of the applicant, and is described as follows: Salt Lake Meridian, Utah T. 2 N., R. 8 W., Sec. 3; Sec. 4, S1 ⁄2 ; Sec. 9, less and excepting therefrom: Lot 101, ATI Titanium P.U.D., according to the official plat thereof, on file and recorded April 19, 2007 as entry no. 282779 in the official records of the Recorder of Tooele County, State of Utah; Sec. 10, less and excepting therefrom: Lot 101, ATI Titanium P.U.D., according to the official plat thereof, on file and recorded April 19, 2007 as entry no. 282779 in the official records of the Recorder of Tooele County, State of Utah; Sec. 11; Sec. 12, lot 1; Sec. 13, lot 1; Sec. 14; Sec. 15, less and excepting all of lots 1 and 2 Desert Power Planned Unit Development recorded October 4, 2001 as entry no. 170027 in book 707 of plats at page 841 in the office of the Tooele County Recorder, State of Utah, and lot 101, ATI Titanium P.U.D., according to the official plat thereof, on file and recorded April 19, 2007 as entry no. 282779 in the official records of the Recorder of Tooele County, State of Utah. The area described totals 3,548.41 acres. Under certain conditions, Section 209(b) of FLPMA authorizes the sale and conveyance of the federally owned mineral interests in land when the surface estate is not federally owned. The objective is to allow consolidation of the surface and mineral interests when either one of the following conditions exist: (1) There are no known mineral values in the land; or (2) The reservation of the mineral rights in the United States is interfering with or precluding appropriate nonmineral development of the land and such development is a more beneficial use of the land than mineral development. The applicant has deposited a sufficient sum of funding to cover the administrative costs of processing the application, including, but not limited to, the cost of the mineral potential report. Subject to valid existing rights, on June 15, 2021 the federally owned mineral interests in the land described above is hereby segregated from all forms of appropriation under the public land laws, including the mining laws. The segregative effect will terminate upon: (1) Issuance of a patent or other document of conveyance as to the mineral interests; (2) Final rejection of the application; or (3) June 15, 2023, whichever occurs first.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : Background This preliminary determination is made in accordance with section 703(b) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). Commerce published the notice of initiation of this investigation on November 16, 2020. 1 On December 28, 2020, Commerce postponed the preliminary determination of this investigation, and the revised deadline is now March 19, 2021. 2 For a complete description of the events that followed the initiation of this investigation, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.3 A list of topics discussed in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum is included as Appendix II to this notice. The Preliminary Decision Memorandum is a public document and is on file electronically via Enforcement and Compliance’s Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS). ACCESS is available to registered users at http:// access.trade.gov. In addition, a complete version of the Preliminary Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly at http://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/. Scope of the Investigation The product covered by this investigation is wind towers from India. For a complete description of the scope of this investigation, see Appendix I. Scope Comments In accordance with the Preamble to Commerce’s regulations,4 the Initiation Notice set aside a period of time for parties to raise issues regarding product coverage, (i.e., scope).5 No interested party commented on the scope of the investigation as it appeared in the Initiation Notice. Methodology Commerce is conducting this investigation in accordance with section 701 of the Act. For each of the subsidy programs found countervailable, Commerce preliminarily determines that there is a subsidy, i.e., a financial contribution by an ‘‘authority’’ that gives rise to a benefit to the recipient, and that the subsidy is specific.6 Commerce notes that, in making these findings, it relied, in part, on facts available, and, because it finds that one or more respondents did not act to the best of their ability to respond to Commerce’s requests for information, it drew an adverse inference where appropriate in selecting from among the facts otherwise available. 7 For further information, see ‘‘Use of Facts Otherwise Available and Adverse Inferences’’ in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. Alignment As noted in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum, in accordance with section 705(a)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.210(b)(4), Commerce is aligning the final countervailing duty (CVD) determination in this investigation with the final determination in the companion antidumping duty (AD) investigation of wind towers from India VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:52 Mar 24, 2021 Jkt 253001 PO 00000 Frm 00021 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\25MRN1.SGM 25MRN1 15898 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 56 / Thursday, March 25, 2021 / Notices 8 See Petitioner’s Letter, ‘‘Utility Scale Wind Towers from India: Request to Align Countervailing Duty Investigation Final Determination with Antidumping Duty Investigation Final Determination,’’ dated March 16, 2021. 9 See 19 CFR 351.309; see also 19 CFR 351.303 (for general filing requirements). based on a request made by the petitioner. 8 Consequently, the final CVD determination will be issued on the same date as the final AD determination, which is currently scheduled to be issued no later than August 2, 2021, unless postponed. All-Others Rate Sections 703(d) and 705(c)(5)(A) of the Act provide that in the preliminary determination, Commerce shall determine an estimated all-others rate for companies not individually examined. This rate shall be an amount equal to the weighted average of the estimated subsidy rates established for those companies individually examined, excluding any zero and de minimis rates and any rates based entirely under section 776 of the Act. Commerce calculated an individual estimated countervailable subsidy rate for Vestas Wind Technology India Private Limited (Vestas), the only individually examined exporter/ producer in this investigation. Because the rate calculated for Vestas is not zero, de minimis, or based entirely on facts otherwise available, it is the rate assigned to all-other producers and exporters, pursuant to section 705(c)(5)(A)(i) of the Act. Preliminary Determination Commerce preliminarily determines that the following estimated countervailable subsidy rates exist: Company Subsidy rate (percent) Vestas Wind Technology India Private Limited ......... 3.74 Naiks Brass & Iron Works * .. 397.16 Nordex India Pvt * ................. 397.16 Prommada Hindustan * ......... 397.16 Suzlon Energy * .................... 397.16 Vinayaka Energy Tek * ......... 397.16 Wish Energy Solutions Pvt Ltd * ................................... 397.16 Zeeco India Pvt. Ltd * ........... 397.16 All Others .............................. 3.74 * Rate based on adverse facts available. Suspension of Liquidation In accordance with section 703(d)(1)(B) and (d)(2) of the Act, Commerce will direct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to suspend liquidation of entries of subject merchandise as described in the scope of the investigation section entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of publication of this notice in the Federal Register. Further, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.205(d), Commerce will instruct CBP to require a cash deposit equal to the rates indicated above. Disclosure Commerce intends to disclose its calculations and analysis performed to interested parties in this preliminary determination within five days of its public announcement, or if there is no public announcement, within five days of the date of this notice in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). Verification As provided in section 782(i)(1) of the Act, Commerce intends to verify the information relied upon in making its final determination. However, Commerce is currently unable to conduct on-site verification of the information relied upon in making its final determination in this investigation. Accordingly, we intend to take additional steps in lieu of on-site verification. Commerce will notify interested parties of any additional documentation or information required. Public Comment Case briefs or other written comments may be submitted to the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance. Interested parties will be notified of the timeline for the submission of such case briefs and written comments at a later date. Rebuttal briefs, limited to issues raised in case briefs, may be submitted no later than seven days after the deadline date for case briefs.9 Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.309(c)(2) and (d)(2), parties who submit case briefs or rebuttal briefs in this investigation are encouraged to submit with each argument: (1) A statement of the issue; (2) a brief summary of the argument; and (3) a table of authorities.

Parties should confirm by telephone the date, time, and location of the hearing two days before the scheduled date. International Trade Commission Notification In accordance with section 703(f) of the Act, Commerce will notify the International Trade Commission (ITC) of its determination. If the final determination is affirmative, the ITC will determine before the later of 120 days after the date of this preliminary determination or 45 days after the final determination. Notification to Interested Parties This determination is issued and published pursuant to sections 703(f) and 777(i) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.205(c). Dated: March 19, 2021. Christian Marsh, Acting Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance. Appendix I Scope of the Investigation The merchandise covered by this investigation consists of certain wind towers, whether or not tapered, and sections thereof. Certain wind towers support the nacelle and rotor blades in a wind turbine with a minimum rated electrical power generation capacity in excess of 100 kilowatts and with a minimum height of 50 meters measured from the base of the tower to the bottom of the nacelle (i.e., where the top of the tower and nacelle are joined) when fully assembled. A wind tower section consists of, at a minimum, multiple steel plates rolled into cylindrical or conical shapes and welded together (or otherwise attached) to form a steel shell, regardless of coating, end-finish, painting, treatment, or method of manufacture, and with or without flanges, doors, or internal or external components (e.g., flooring/decking, ladders, lifts, electrical buss boxes, electrical cabling, conduit, cable harness for nacelle generator, interior lighting, tool and storage lockers) attached to the wind tower section. Several wind tower sections are normally required to form a completed wind tower. Wind towers and sections thereof are included within the scope whether or not they are joined with nonsubject merchandise, such as nacelles or rotor blades, and whether or not they have internal or external components attached to the subject merchandise.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : Background On November 3, 2020, Commerce published the Preliminary Determination in the LTFV investigation of mattresses from Indonesia, in which we also postponed the final determination until March 18, 2021. 1 We invited interested parties to comment on the Preliminary Determination. A summary of the events that occurred since Commerce published the Preliminary Determination, may be found in the Issues and Decision Memorandum. 2 The Issues and Decision Memorandum is a public document and is on file electronically via Enforcement and Compliance’s Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS). ACCESS is available to registered users at https://access.trade.gov. In addition, a complete version of the Issues and Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly at http://enforcement.trade.gov/ frn/index.html. Scope of the Investigation The products covered by this investigation are mattresses from Indonesia. For a complete description of the scope of this investigation, see Appendix I. Scope Comments In Commerce’s Preliminary Scope Decision Memorandum, we set aside a period of time for parties to raise issues regarding product coverage (i.e., scope) in scope case briefs or other written comments on scope issues.3 Certain interested parties commented on the scope of the investigation as it appeared in the Preliminary Scope Decision Memorandum, unchanged from the Initiation Notice.4 For a summary of the product coverage comments and rebuttal responses submitted to the record for this final determination, and accompanying discussion and analysis of all comments timely received, see the Final Scope Memorandum. 5 In the Final Scope Memorandum, Commerce determined that it is not modifying the scope language as it appeared in the Initiation Notice. See Appendix I. Analysis of Comments Received All issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs that were submitted by parties in this investigation are addressed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum. A list of the issues addressed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum is provided in Appendix II. Verification Commerce was unable to conduct on- site verification of the information relied upon in making its final determination in this investigation. However, we took additional steps in lieu of an on-site verification to verify the information relied upon in making this final determination, in accordance with section 782(i) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). 6 Changes Since the Preliminary Determination Based on our review and analysis of the comments received from interested parties, we made adjustments to PT Zinus Global Indonesia’s (Zinus) cost of production and U.S. sales prices. For a discussion of these changes, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum. All-Others Rate Section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act provides that the estimated weighted- average dumping margin for all other producers and exporters not individually investigated shall be equal to the weighted average of the estimated weighted-average dumping margins established for exporters and producers individually investigated excluding rates that are zero, de minimis, or determined entirely under section 776 of the Act. Commerce calculated an individual estimated weighted-average dumping margin for Zinus, the only individually examined exporter/ producer in this investigation. Because the only individually calculated dumping margin is not zero, de minimis, or based entirely on facts otherwise available, the estimated weighted-average dumping margin calculated for Zinus is the margin assigned to all other producers and VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:52 Mar 24, 2021 Jkt 253001 PO 00000 Frm 00023 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\25MRN1.SGM 25MRN1 ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── === Determination - CVD - Preliminary - Malaysia === 15887Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 56 / Thursday, March 25, 2021 / Notices 1 See Utility Scale Wind Towers from India and Malaysia: Initiation of Countervailing Duty Investigations, 85 FR 73019 (November 16, 2020) (Initiation Notice). 2 See Utility Scale Wind Towers from India and Malaysia: Postponement of Preliminary Determinations in the Countervailing Duty Investigations, 85 FR 84302 (December 28, 2020). 3 See Memorandum, ‘‘Decision Memorandum for the Preliminary Determination in the Countervailing Duty Investigation of Utility Scale Wind Towers from Malaysia,’’ dated concurrently with, and hereby adopted by, this notice (Preliminary Decision Memorandum).

[FR Doc. 2021–06175 Filed 3–24–21; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE P DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE Foreign-Trade Zones Board [B–24–2021] Foreign-Trade Zone 76—Bridgeport, Connecticut; Application for Reorganization Under Alternative Site Framework An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) Board by the Bridgeport Port Authority, grantee of FTZ 76, requesting authority to reorganize the zone under the alternative site framework (ASF) adopted by the FTZ Board (15 CFR Sec. 400.2(c)). The ASF is an option for grantees for the establishment or reorganization of zones and can permit significantly greater flexibility in the designation of new subzones or ‘‘usage- driven’’ FTZ sites for operators/users located within a grantee’s ‘‘service area’’ in the context of the FTZ Board’s standard 2,000-acre activation limit for a zone. The application was submitted pursuant to the Foreign-Trade Zones Act, as amended (19 U.S.C. 81a–81u), and the regulations of the Board (15 CFR part 400). It was formally docketed on March 19, 2021. FTZ 76 was approved by the FTZ Board on March 26, 1982 (Board Order 186, 47 FR 14932, April 7, 1982) and expanded on November 9, 1994 (Board Order 713, 59 FR 59992, November 21, 1994). The current zone includes the following sites: Site 1 (3 acres)— Foreign-Trade Zone Industrial Park, 939 Barnum Avenue, Bridgeport; Site 2 (14 acres)—Campus Office Park, 480 Barnum Avenue, Bridgeport; Site 3 (36 acres)—Bridgeport Brass Facility, 427 Housatonic Avenue, Bridgeport; Site 4 (50 acres)—Bridgeport Regional Maritime Complex, 837 Seaview Avenue, Bridgeport; Site 5 (20 acres)— Cilco Terminal, 315–441 Seaview Avenue, Bridgeport; and, Site 6 (353 acres)—Remington Woods, 615 Asylum Street, Bridgeport. The zone also includes three subzones: Subzone 76A for ASML US, LLC consisting of five sites in Wilton, Newtown and Bethel; Subzone 76B for MannKind Corporation consisting of two sites in Danbury; and, Subzone 76C for SDI USA, LLC consisting of one site in Meriden. The grantee’s proposed service area under the ASF would include Fairfield and Litchfield Counties as well as a portion of New Haven County, as described in the application. If approved, the grantee would be able to serve sites throughout the service area based on companies’ needs for FTZ designation. The application indicates that the proposed service area is within and adjacent to the Bridgeport, Connecticut Customs and Border Protection port of entry. The applicant is requesting authority to reorganize its existing zone to include existing Site 5 as a ‘‘magnet’’ site and reduce the size of the site to 18.3 acres. The applicant is also requesting that existing Subzone 76A become a subzone under the ASF. The application would have no impact on FTZ 76’s other subzones. In accordance with the FTZ Board’s regulations, Elizabeth Whiteman of the FTZ Staff is designated examiner to evaluate and analyze the facts and information presented in the application and case record and to report findings and recommendations to the FTZ Board. Public comment is invited from interested parties. Submissions shall be addressed to the FTZ Board’s Executive Secretary and sent to: ftz@trade.gov. The closing period for their receipt is May 24, 2021. Rebuttal comments in response to material submitted during the foregoing period may be submitted during the subsequent 15-day period to June 8, 2021.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : Background This preliminary determination is made in accordance with section 703(b) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). Commerce published the notice of initiation of this investigation on November 16, 2020. 1 On December 28, 2020, Commerce postponed the preliminary determination to March 19, 2021. 2 For a complete description of the events that followed the initiation of this investigation, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. 3 A list of topics VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:52 Mar 24, 2021 Jkt 253001 PO 00000 Frm 00011 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\25MRN1.SGM 25MRN1 15888 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 56 / Thursday, March 25, 2021 / Notices 4 See Antidumping Duties; Countervailing Duties; Final Rule, 62 FR 27296, 27323 (May 19, 1997). 5 See Initiation Notice, 85 FR at 73020. 6 See sections 771(5)(B) and (D) of the Act regarding financial contribution; section 771(5)(E) of the Act regarding benefit; and section 771(5A) of the Act regarding specificity. 7 See 19 CFR 351.309; see also 19 CFR 351.303 (for general filing requirements). 8 See Temporary Rule Modifying AD/CVD Service Requirements Due to COVID–19; Extension of Effective Period, 85 FR 41363 (July 10, 2020). discussed in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum is included as Appendix II to this notice.

ACCESS is available to registered users at http:// access.trade.gov. In addition, a complete version of the Preliminary Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly at http://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/. Scope of the Investigation The product covered by this investigation is wind towers from Malaysia. For a complete description of the scope of this investigation, see Appendix I. Scope Comments In accordance with the Preamble to Commerce’s regulations, 4 we set aside a period of time in the Initiation Notice for parties to raise issues regarding product coverage (i.e., scope). 5 We did not receive comments concerning the scope of the investigation of wind towers as it appeared in the Initiation Notice. Methodology Commerce is conducting this investigation in accordance with section 701 of the Act. For each of the subsidy programs found countervailable, Commerce preliminarily determines that there is a subsidy, i.e., a financial contribution by an ‘‘authority’’ that gives rise to a benefit to the recipient, and that the subsidy is specific. 6 All-Others Rate Sections 703(d) and 705(c)(5)(A) of the Act provide that, in the preliminary determination, Commerce shall determine an estimated all-others rate for companies not individually examined. This rate shall be an amount equal to the weighted average of the estimated subsidy rates established for those companies individually examined, excluding any zero and de minimis rates and any rates based entirely under section 776 of the Act. In this investigation, Commerce calculated an estimated countervailable subsidy rate for CS Wind, the only individually-examined exporter/ producer in this investigation. Because the only individually calculated rate is not zero, de minimis, or based entirely on facts otherwise available, the estimated weighted-average rate calculated for CS Wind is the rate assigned to all other producers and exporters, pursuant to section 705(c)(5)(A)(i) of the Act. Preliminary Determination Commerce preliminarily determines that the following estimated countervailable subsidy rates exist: Company Subsidy rate ad valorem (percent) CS Wind Malaysia Sdn Bhd 6.32 All Others .............................. 6.32 Suspension of Liquidation In accordance with section 703(d)(1)(B) and (d)(2) of the Act, Commerce will direct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to suspend liquidation of entries of subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of publication of this notice in the Federal Register. Further, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.205(d), Commerce will instruct CBP to require a cash deposit equal to the rates indicated above. Disclosure Commerce intends to disclose its calculations and analysis performed to interested parties in this preliminary determination within five days of its public announcement, or if there is no public announcement, within five days of the date of this notice, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). Verification As provided in section 782(i)(1) of the Act, Commerce intends to verify the information relied upon in making its final determination. Normally, Commerce verifies information using standard procedures, including an on- site examination of original accounting, financial, and sales documentation. However, due to current travel restrictions in response to the global COVID–19 pandemic, Commerce is unable to conduct on-site verification in this investigation. Accordingly, we intend to verify the information relied upon in making the final determination through alternative means in lieu of an on-site verification. Public Comment Case briefs or other written comments may be submitted to the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance. Interested parties will be notified of the deadline for the submission of such case briefs and written comments at a later date. Rebuttal briefs, limited to issues raised in case briefs, may be submitted no later than seven days after the deadline date for case briefs.7 Commerce has modified certain of its requirements for serving documents containing business proprietary information until further notice.8 Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.309(c)(2) and (d)(2), parties who submit case briefs or rebuttal briefs in this investigation are encouraged to submit with each argument: (1) A statement of the issue; (2) a brief summary of the argument; and (3) a table of authorities. Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), interested parties who wish to request a hearing, limited to issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs, must submit a written request to the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance, U.S. Department of Commerce within 30 days after the date of publication of this notice. Requests should contain the party’s name, address, and telephone number, the number of participants, whether any participant is a foreign national, and a list of the issues to be discussed. If a request for a hearing is made, Commerce intends to hold the hearing at a time and date to be determined. Parties should confirm by telephone the date, time, and location of the hearing two days before the scheduled date. International Trade Commission Notification In accordance with section 703(f) of the Act, Commerce will notify the International Trade Commission (ITC) of its determination. If the final determination is affirmative, the ITC will determine before the later of 120 days after the date of this preliminary determination or 45 days after the final determination whether imports of wind towers from Malaysia are materially injuring, or threaten material injury to, the U.S. industry. Notification to Interested Parties This determination is issued and published pursuant to sections 703(f) and 777(i) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.205(c).

Appendix I Scope of the Investigation The merchandise covered by this investigation consists of certain wind towers, whether or not tapered, and sections thereof. Certain wind towers support the nacelle and rotor blades in a wind turbine with a minimum rated electrical power generation capacity in excess of 100 kilowatts and with a minimum height of 50 meters measured from the base of the tower to the bottom of the nacelle (i.e., where the top of the tower and nacelle are joined) when fully assembled. A wind tower section consists of, at a minimum, multiple steel plates rolled into cylindrical or conical shapes and welded together (or otherwise attached) to form a steel shell, regardless of coating, end-finish, painting, treatment, or method of manufacture, and with or without flanges, doors, or internal or external components (e.g., flooring/decking, ladders, lifts, electrical buss boxes, electrical cabling, conduit, cable harness for nacelle generator, interior lighting, tool and storage lockers) attached to the wind tower section. Several wind tower sections are normally required to form a completed wind tower. Wind towers and sections thereof are included within the scope whether or not they are joined with nonsubject merchandise, such as nacelles or rotor blades, and whether or not they have internal or external components attached to the subject merchandise. Specifically excluded from the scope are nacelles and rotor blades, regardless of whether they are attached to the wind tower. Also excluded are any internal or external components which are not attached to the wind towers or sections thereof, unless those components are shipped with the tower sections. Merchandise covered by this investigation is currently classified in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) under subheading 7308.20.0020 or 8502.31.0000. Wind towers of iron or steel are classified under HTSUS 7308.20.0020 when imported separately as a tower or tower section(s). Wind towers may be classified under HTSUS 8502.31.0000 when imported as combination goods with a wind turbine (i.e., accompanying nacelles and/or rotor blades).

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT : David Crespo or Melissa Kinter, AD/ CVD Operations, Office II, Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482–3693 or (202) 482–1413, respectively. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : Background On March 25, 2021, Commerce published the Preliminary Determination of the countervailing duty (CVD) investigation, which aligned the final determination in this CVD investigation with the final determination in the companion antidumping duty investigation of wind towers from India. 1 Commerce invited interested parties to comment on the Preliminary Determination. On July 20, 2021, we received case briefs from the Government of India, Vestas Wind Technology India Private Limited (Vestas); Anand Engineering Products Private Limited, Windar Renewable Energy Private Limited, and GRI Towers India Private Limited (collectively, the tollers); and the Wind Tower Trade Coalition (the petitioner).2 On July 27, 2021, we received rebuttal briefs from Vestas, the tollers, and the petitioner.3 On September 1, 2021, we held a public hearing at the request of Vestas, the tollers, and the petitioner.4 A summary of the events that occurred since Commerce published the Preliminary Determination, as well as a full discussion of the issues raised by parties for this final determination, are discussed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum.5 Scope of the Investigation The products covered by this investigation are wind towers from India. For a complete description of the scope of the investigation, see Appendix I. Analysis of Subsidy Programs and Comments Received The subsidy programs under investigation and the issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs by parties in this investigation are discussed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum. A list of the issues that parties raised is attached to this notice as Appendix II. The Issues and Decision Memorandum is a public document and is on file electronically via Enforcement and Compliance’s Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS). ACCESS is available to registered users at http://access.trade.gov. In addition, a complete version of the Issues and Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly at https://access.trade.gov/ public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx. Verification Commerce was unable to conduct on- site verification of the information relied upon in making its final determination in this investigation. However, we took additional steps in lieu of an on-site verification to verify the information relied upon in making this final determination, in accordance with section 782(i) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).6 Methodology Commerce conducted this investigation in accordance with section 701 of the Act. For each of the subsidy programs found countervailable, Commerce determines that there is a subsidy, i.e., a financial contribution by an ‘‘authority’’ that gives rise to a benefit to the recipient, and that the subsidy is specific.7 For a full description of the methodology underlying our final determination, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum. As discussed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum, because several respondents did not act to the best of their ability in responding to our requests for information, we drew adverse inferences, where appropriate, in selecting from among the facts otherwise available, pursuant to VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:01 Oct 12, 2021 Jkt 256001 PO 00000 Frm 00012 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\13OCN1.SGM 13OCN1 jspears on DSK121TN23PROD with NOTICES1 56897Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 195 / Wednesday, October 13, 2021 / Notices 8 See Preliminary Determination. sections 776(a) and 776(b) of the Act. The respondents Naiks Brass & Iron Works, Nordex India Pvt., Prommada Hindustan, Suzlon Energy, Vinayaka Energy Tek, Wish Energy Solutions Pvt Ltd, and Zeeco India Pvt. Ltd. did not respond to Commerce’s quantity and value questionnaire, and we have continued to use an adverse inference in our selection of facts available for determining the subsidy rates for these companies, pursuant to section 776(d) of the Act. For further information, see the section ‘‘Use of Facts Otherwise Available and Adverse Inferences’’ in the accompanying Issues and Decision Memorandum. Changes Since the Preliminary Determination Based on our review and analysis of the comments received from parties and our verification findings, we made certain changes to the subsidy rate calculations for Vestas. For a discussion of these changes, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum. All-Others Rate In accordance with section 705(c)(5)(A) of the Act, we continue to assign the countervailable subsidy rate calculated for Vestas as the all-others rate applicable to all exporters and/or producers not individually examined. 8 Final Determination In accordance with section 705(c)(1)(B)(i)(I) of the Act, we calculated an individual estimated subsidy rate for Vestas. We determine that the following total estimated net countervailable subsidy rates exist: Producer/exporter Percent ad valorem Vestas Wind Technology India Private Limited ........................ 2.25 Naiks Brass & Iron Works * ........ 397.70 Nordex India Pvt * ....................... 397.70 Prommada Hindustan * ............... 397.70 Suzlon Energy * .......................... 397.70 Vinayaka Energy Tek * ............... 397.70 Wish Energy Solutions Pvt Ltd * 397.70 Zeeco India Pvt. Ltd * ................. 397.70 All Others .................................... 2.25 * Rate based on adverse facts available. Disclosure We intend to disclose to interested parties the calculations and analysis performed in this final determination within five days of the date of publication of this notice in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). Continuation of Suspension of Liquidation As a result of our Preliminary Determination, and pursuant to sections 703(d)(1)(B) and (d)(2) of the Act, Commerce instructed U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to suspend liquidation of entries of subject merchandise as described in the scope of the investigation section, that were entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of publication of the Preliminary Determination in the Federal Register. In accordance with section 703(d) of the Act, we instructed CBP to discontinue the suspension of liquidation for CVD purposes for subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, on or after July 23, 2021, but to continue the suspension of liquidation of all entries from March 25, 2021 through July 22, 2021. If the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) issues a final affirmative injury determination, we will issue a CVD order, reinstate the suspension of liquidation under section 706(a) of the Act, and require a cash deposit of estimated countervailing duties for such entries of subject merchandise in the amounts indicated above. If the ITC determines that material injury, or threat of material injury, does not exist, this proceeding will be terminated, and all estimated duties deposited or securities posted as a result of the suspension of liquidation will be refunded or canceled. ITC Notification In accordance with section 705(d) of the Act, we will notify the ITC of our determination. Because the final determination in this proceeding is affirmative, in accordance with section 705(b) of the Act, the ITC will make its final determination as to whether the domestic industry in the United States is materially injured, or threatened with material injury, by reason of imports of wind towers from Indonesia no later than 45 days after our final determination. If the ITC determines that material injury or threat of material injury does not exist, the proceeding will be terminated, and all cash deposits will be refunded. If the ITC determines that material injury or threat of material injury does exist, Commerce will issue a CVD order directing CBP to assess, upon further instruction by Commerce, countervailing duties on all imports of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the effective date of the suspension of liquidation, as discussed above in the ‘‘Continuation of Suspension of Liquidation’’ section. Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Orders In the event the ITC issues a final negative injury determination, this notice will serve as the only reminder to parties subject to an administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility concerning the destruction of proprietary information disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely written notification of the return or destruction of APO materials or conversion to judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to comply with the regulations and terms of an APO is a violation subject to sanction. Notification to Interested Parties This determination is issued and published pursuant to sections 705(d) and 777(i) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.210(c). Dated: October 6, 2021.

Appendix I Scope of the Investigation The merchandise covered by this investigation consists of certain wind towers, whether or not tapered, and sections thereof. Certain wind towers support the nacelle and rotor blades in a wind turbine with a minimum rated electrical power generation capacity in excess of 100 kilowatts and with a minimum height of 50 meters measured from the base of the tower to the bottom of the nacelle (i.e., where the top of the tower and nacelle are joined) when fully assembled. A wind tower section consists of, at a minimum, multiple steel plates rolled into cylindrical or conical shapes and welded together (or otherwise attached) to form a steel shell, regardless of coating, end-finish, painting, treatment, or method of manufacture, and with or without flanges, doors, or internal or external components (e.g., flooring/decking, ladders, lifts, electrical buss boxes, electrical cabling, conduit, cable harness for nacelle generator, interior lighting, tool and storage lockers) attached to the wind tower section. Several wind tower sections are normally required to form a completed wind tower. Wind towers and sections thereof are included within the scope whether or not they are joined with non-subject merchandise, such as nacelles or rotor blades, and whether or not they have internal or external components attached to the subject merchandise. Specifically excluded from the scope are nacelles and rotor blades, regardless of whether they are attached to the wind tower. Also excluded are any internal or external components which are not attached to the VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:01 Oct 12, 2021 Jkt 256001 PO 00000 Frm 00013 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\13OCN1.SGM 13OCN1 jspears on DSK121TN23PROD with NOTICES1 56898 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 195 / Wednesday, October 13, 2021 / Notices wind towers or sections thereof, unless those components are shipped with the tower sections. Merchandise covered by this investigation is currently classified in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) under subheading 7308.20.0020 or 8502.31.0000.
