INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION

[Investigation Nos. 701-TA-578 and 731-TA-1368 (Preliminary)]


100- to 150-Seat Large Civil Aircraft From Canada; 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 there is a reasonable indication that an industry in the 
United States is threatened with material injury by reason of imports 
of 100- to 150-seat large civil aircraft from Canada, provided for in 
subheading 8802.40.00 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United 
States, that are alleged to be sold in the United States at less than 
fair value (``LTFV'') and to be subsidized by the government of Canada.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The record is defined in sec. 207.2(f) of the Commission's 
Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 207.2(f)).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Commencement of Final Phase Investigations

    Pursuant to section 207.18 of the Commission's rules, the 
Commission also gives notice of the commencement of the final phase of 
its investigations. The Commission will issue a final phase notice of 
scheduling, which will be published in the Federal Register as provided 
in section 207.21 of the Commission's rules, upon notice from the 
Department of Commerce (``Commerce'') of affirmative preliminary 
determinations in the investigations under sections 703(b) or 733(b) of 
the Act, or, if the preliminary determinations are negative, upon 
notice of affirmative final determinations in those investigations 
under sections 705(a) or 735(a) of the Act. Parties that filed entries 
of appearance in the preliminary phase of the investigations need not 
enter a separate appearance for the final phase of the investigations. 
Industrial users, and, if the merchandise under investigation is sold 
at the retail level, representative consumer organizations have the 
right to appear as parties in Commission antidumping and countervailing 
duty investigations. The Secretary will prepare a public service list 
containing the names and addresses of all persons, or their 
representatives, who are parties to the investigations.

Background

    On April 27, 2017, The Boeing Company, Chicago, Illinois filed a 
petition with the Commission and Commerce, alleging that an industry in 
the United States is threatened with material injury by reason of LTFV 
and subsidized imports of 100- to 150-seat large civil aircraft from 
Canada. Accordingly, effective April 27, 2017, the Commission, pursuant 
to sections 703(a) and 733(a) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1671b(a) and 
1673b(a)), instituted countervailing duty investigation No. 701-TA-578 
and antidumping duty investigation No. 731-TA-1368 (Preliminary).
    Notice of the institution of the Commission's investigations and of 
a public conference 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 May 3, 2017 (82 FR 20634). The 
conference was held in Washington, DC, on May 18, 2017, and all persons 
who requested the opportunity were permitted to appear in person or by 
counsel.
    The Commission made these determinations pursuant to sections 
703(a) and 733(a) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1671b(a) and 1673b(a)). It 
completed and filed its determinations in these investigations on June 
12, 2017. The views of the Commission are contained in USITC 
Publication 4702 (June 2017), entitled 100- to 150-Seat Large Civil 
Aircraft from Canada: Investigation Nos. 701-TA-578 and 731-TA-1368 
(Preliminary).

    By order of the Commission.

    Issued: June 12, 2017.
Lisa R. Barton,
Secretary to the Commission.
