these investigations may be viewed on
the Commission’s electronic docket
(EDIS) at https://edis.usitc.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Scope.—For purposes of these
investigations, the Department of
Commerce has defined the subject
merchandise as ‘‘aircraft, regardless of
seating configuration, that have a
standard 100- to 150-seat two-class
seating capacity and a minimum 2,900
nautical mile range, as these terms are
defined below. ‘Standard 100- to 150seat two-class seating capacity’ refers to
the capacity to accommodate 100 to 150
passengers, when eight passenger seats
are configured for a 36-inch pitch, and
the remaining passenger seats are
configured for a 32-inch pitch. ‘Pitch’ is
the distance between a point on one seat
and the same point on the seat in front
of it. ‘Standard 100- to 150-seat twoclass seating capacity’ does not
delineate the number of seats actually in
a subject aircraft or the actual seating
configuration of a subject aircraft. Thus,
the number of seats actually in a subject
aircraft may be below 100 or exceed
150. A ‘minimum 2,900 nautical mile
range’ means: (i) Able to transport
between 100 and 150 passengers and
their luggage on routes equal to or
longer than 2,900 nautical miles; or (ii)
covered by a U.S. Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) type certificate or
supplemental type certificate that also
covers other aircraft with a minimum
2,900 nautical mile range. The scope
includes all aircraft covered by the
description above, regardless of whether
they enter the United States fully or
partially assembled, and regardless of
whether, at the time of entry into the
United States, they are approved for use
by the FAA. The merchandise covered
by this investigation is currently
classifiable under Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (HTSUS)
subheading 8802.40.0040. The
merchandise may alternatively be
classifiable under HTSUS subheading
8802.40.0090. Although these HTSUS
subheadings are provided for
convenience and customs purposes, the
written description of the scope of the
investigation is dispositive.’’
Background.—The final phase of
these investigations is being scheduled
pursuant to sections 705(b) and 731(b)
of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C.
1671d(b) and 1673d(b)), as a result of
affirmative preliminary determinations
by the Department of Commerce that
certain benefits which constitute
subsidies within the meaning of section
703 of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1671b) are
being provided to manufacturers,
producers, or exporters in Canada of

100- to 150-seat large civil aircraft, and
that such products are being sold in the
United States at less than fair value
within the meaning of section 733 of the
Act (19 U.S.C. 1673b). The
investigations were requested in
petitions filed on April 27, 2017, by The
Boeing Company, Chicago, Illinois.

the conduct of this phase of the
investigations, hearing procedures, and
rules of general application, consult the
Commission’s Rules of Practice and
Procedure, part 201, subparts A and B
(19 CFR part 201), and part 207,

industrial users of the subject
merchandise and, if the merchandise is
sold at the retail level, representative
consumer organizations, wishing to
participate in the final phase of these
investigations as parties must file an

during the preliminary phase of the
investigations need not file an
additional notice of appearance during
this final phase. The Secretary will

proprietary information (BPI) under an
administrative protective order (APO)
and BPI service list.—Pursuant to
section 207.7(a) of the Commission’s
rules, the Secretary will make BPI
gathered in the final phase of these
investigations available to authorized

Secretary for those parties authorized to
receive BPI under the APO.
