and 201.36(b)(4) (19 CFR 207.24(d), 201.13(m) and 201.36(b)(4)).

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Michael K. Haldenstein, Office of the 
General Counsel, U.S. International Trade Commission, telephone 202-
205-3041. Hearing-impaired individuals are advised that information on 
this matter may be obtained by contacting the Commission's TDD terminal 
on 202-205-3105.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission believes that respondents CS 
Wind Tech. Co., Ltd., CS Wind Vietnam Co., Ltd., Chengxi Shipyard Co., 
Ltd., Titan Wind Energy (Suzhou) Co., Ltd., Shanghai Taisheng Wind 
Power Equipment Co., Ltd., the China Chamber of Commerce for Import & 
Export of Machinery & Electronic Products and Siemens Energy, Inc. have 
not justified the need for resorting to the extraordinary measure of an 
in camera hearing. The Commission reaffirms its belief that whenever 
possible its business should be conducted in public. Accordingly, the 
Commission has determined that the public interest would be best served 
by a hearing that is entirely open to the public.
