INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION

[Investigation Nos. 701-TA-627-629 and 731-TA-1458-1461 (Final)]


Utility Scale Wind Towers From Canada, Indonesia, Korea, and 
Vietnam

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 from Canada, Indonesia, 
Korea, and Vietnam, 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 governments of Canada, Indonesia, and Vietnam.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The record is defined in Sec.  207.2(f) of the Commission's 
Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 207.2(f)).
    \2\ The Commission also finds that imports subject to Commerce's 
affirmative critical circumstances determination are not likely to 
undermine seriously the remedial effect of the countervailing duty 
order on utility scale wind towers from Indonesia and the 
antidumping duty orders on utility scale wind towers from Korea and 
Vietnam.

Background

    The Commission instituted these investigations effective July 9, 
2019, following receipt of petitions filed with the Commission and 
Commerce by Arcosa Wind Towers Inc., Dallas, Texas; and Broadwind 
Towers Inc., Manitowoc, Wisconsin. The final phase of the 
investigations was scheduled by the Commission following notification 
of preliminary determinations by Commerce that imports of utility scale 
wind towers from Canada, Indonesia, and Vietnam were subsidized within 
the meaning of section 703(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1671b(b)) and that 
imports of utility scale wind towers from Canada, Indonesia, Korea, 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 
March 20, 2020 (85 FR 16127). In light of the restrictions on access to 
the Commission building due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and in accordance 
with 19 U.S.C. 1677c(a)(1), the Commission conducted its hearing on 
June 25, 2020 by video conference as set forth in procedures provided 
to the parties. All persons who requested the opportunity were 
permitted to participate.
    The Commission made these determinations pursuant to Sec. Sec.  
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 August 19, 2020. The views of the Commission are 
contained in USITC Publication 5101 (August 2020), entitled Utility 
Scale Wind Towers from Canada, Indonesia, Korea, and Vietnam: 
Investigation Nos. 701-TA-627-629 and 731-TA-1458-1461 (Final).

    By order of the Commission.

    Issued: August 19, 2020.
