INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION

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


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 an industry in the United States is not materially injured 
or threatened with material injury, and the establishment of an 
industry in the United States is not materially retarded, 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 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 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)).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Background

    The Commission, pursuant to sections 705(b) and 735(b) of the Act 
(19 U.S.C. 1671d(b) and 19 U.S.C. 1673d(b)), instituted these 
investigations effective April 27, 2017, following receipt of a 
petition filed with the Commission and Commerce by The Boeing Company, 
Chicago, Illinois. The final phase of the investigations was scheduled 
by the Commission following notification of preliminary determinations 
by Commerce that imports of 100- to 150-seat large civil aircraft from 
Canada were subsidized within the meaning of section 703(b) of the Act 
(19 U.S.C. 1671b(b)) and 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 
October 27, 2017 (82 FR 49850).\2\ The hearing was held in Washington, 
DC, on December 18, 2017, and all persons who requested the opportunity 
were permitted to appear in person or by counsel.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ Due to the lapse in appropriations and ensuing cessation of 
Commission operations, these investigations conducted under 
authority of Title VII of the Tariff Act of 1930 accordingly have 
been tolled pursuant to 19 U.S.C. 1671d(b)(2), 1673d(b)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission made these determinations pursuant to sections 
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 February 13, 2018. The views of the Commission are 
contained in USITC Publication 4759 (February 2018), entitled 100- to 
150-Seat Large Civil Aircraft from Canada: Investigation Nos. 701-TA-
578 and 731-TA-1368 (Final).

    By order of the Commission.

    Dated: February 13, 2018.
Lisa R. Barton,
Secretary to the Commission.
