Scope of the Investigation
The products covered by this
investigation are aircraft from Canada.
For a complete description of the scope
of the investigation, see Appendix I.
Scope Comments
Since issuing the Preliminary
Determination, the Department received
scope comments from interested parties,
including scope comments in case
briefs. Although certain parties
requested that the Department modify
the scope, the Department has not
revised the scope of this investigation.
Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in the case and
rebuttal briefs that were submitted by
parties in this investigation are
addressed in the Issues and Decision
Memorandum. A list of the issues
addressed in the Issues and Decision
Memorandum is attached to this notice
at Appendix II.
As discussed in the Issues and
Decision Memorandum, for the final
determination the Department continues
to base Bombardier Inc’s estimated
weighted-average dumping margin on
facts otherwise available with an
adverse inference (AFA), pursuant to
sections 776(a)–(b) of the Act.3
All-Others Rate
As discussed in the Preliminary
Determination, the Department based
the ‘‘All-Others’’ rate on the dumping
margin alleged in the Petition in
accordance with section 735(c)(5)(B) of
the Act.4
Final Determination
The Department determines that the
following estimated weighted-average
dumping margins exist:

Continuation of Suspension of

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to
continue to suspend liquidation of all
entries of aircraft from Canada, as
described in Appendix I of this notice,

warehouse, for consumption on or after
October 13, 2017, the date of
publication of the Preliminary
Determination of this investigation in
the Federal Register.
Further, pursuant to section
735(c)(1)(B)(ii) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.210(d), CBP shall require a cash
deposit equal to the estimated weightedaverage dumping margin or the
estimated all-others rate, as follows: (1)
The cash deposit rate for the respondent
listed above will be equal to the
company-specific estimated weightedaverage dumping margin determined in
this final determination; (2) if the
exporter is not the respondent identified
above, but the producer is, then the cash
deposit rate will be equal to the
company-specific estimated weightedaverage dumping margin established for
that producer of the subject
merchandise; and (3) the cash deposit
rate for all other producers and
exporters will be equal to the all-others
estimated weighted-average dumping
margin.
The Department normally adjusts
cash deposits for estimated antidumping
duties by the amount of export subsidies
countervailed in a companion
countervailing duty (CVD) proceeding,
when CVD provisional measures are in
effect. However, because the
Department did not make an affirmative
determination for countervailable export
subsidies in the companion CVD
proceeding, the Department has not
adjusted the estimated weighted-average
dumping margin to offset
countervailable export subsidies.
Disclosure
Normally, the Department discloses to
interested parties the calculations
performed in connection with a final
determination within five days of any
public announcement or, if there is no
public announcement, within five days
of the date of publication of the notice
of final determination in the Federal
Register, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.224(b). However, because the
Department applied total AFA to the
individually examined company,
Bombardier Inc., in accordance with
section 776 of the Act, and the applied
AFA rate is based solely on the Petition,
there are no calculations to disclose.
International Trade Commission
Notification
In accordance with section 735(d) of
the Act, the Department will notify the
U.S. International Trade Commission
(ITC) of the its final determination of
sales at LTFV. As the final
determination is affirmative, in
accordance with section 735(b)(2) of the
PO 00000
Frm 00006
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Act, the ITC will determine within 45
days of the final determination whether
the domestic industry in the United
States is materially injured, or
threatened with material injury, by
reason of imports, or sales (or the
likelihood of sales) for importation, of
the subject merchandise. If the ITC
determines that such injury exists, the
Department will issue an antidumping
duty order directing CBP to assess, upon
further instruction by the Department,
antidumping duties on all imports of the
subject merchandise entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after the effective
date of the suspension of liquidation.
Notification Regarding Administrative
Protective Orders
This notice serves as a reminder to
parties subject to an administrative
protective order (APO) of their
responsibility concerning the
disposition of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely
written notification of the return or
destruction of APO materials, or
conversion to judicial protective order,
is hereby requested. Failure to comply
with the regulations and the terms of an
APO is a sanctionable violation.
Notification to Interested Parties
This determination and notice are
issued and published in accordance
with sections 735(d) and 777(i) of the
Act.
Dated: December 18, 2017.
P. Lee Smith,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Policy and
Negotiations.
Appendix I
Scope of the Investigation
The merchandise covered by this
investigation is 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 150-seat two-class
seating capacity’’ refers to the capacity to
accommodate 100 to 150 passengers, when
eight passenger seats are configured for a 36inch 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 two-class
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:
E:\FR\FM\27DEN1.SGM
27DEN1
Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 247 / Wednesday, December 27, 2017 / Notices

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

100- to 150-Seat Large Civil Aircraft From Canada: Final
Affirmative Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value
AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (the Department) determines that
100- to 150-seat large civil aircraft (aircraft) from Canada are being,
or are likely to be, sold in the United States at less than fair value
(LTFV). The period of investigation (POI) is April 1, 2016, through
March 31, 2017. The final estimated dumping margins of sales at LTFV
are listed below in the section entitled ``Final Determination.''
DATES: Applicable December 27, 2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On October 13, 2017, the Department published the Preliminary
Determination in this LTFV the investigation, as provided by section
733 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (Act), in which the

Scope of the Investigation
The products covered by this investigation are aircraft from
Canada. For a complete description of the scope of the investigation,
see Appendix I.
Scope Comments
Since issuing the Preliminary Determination, the Department
received scope comments from interested parties, including scope
comments in case briefs. Although certain parties requested that the
Department modify the scope, the Department has not revised the scope
of this investigation.
Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs that were
submitted by parties in this investigation are addressed in the Issues
and Decision Memorandum. A list of the issues addressed in the Issues
and Decision Memorandum is attached to this notice at Appendix II.
As discussed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum, for the final
determination the Department continues to base Bombardier Inc's
estimated weighted-average dumping margin on facts otherwise available
with an adverse inference (AFA), pursuant to sections 776(a)-(b) of the
Act.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ See Issues and Decision Memorandum.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
All-Others Rate
As discussed in the Preliminary Determination, the Department based
the ``All-Others'' rate on the dumping margin alleged in the Petition
in accordance with section 735(c)(5)(B) of the Act.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ See Preliminary Determination.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Final Determination
The Department determines that the following estimated weighted-
average dumping margins exist:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Estimated
weighted-
average Cash deposit rate (adjusted
Exporter/ producer dumping for subsidy offset(s))
margin (percent)
(percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bombardier, Inc................ 79.82 Not Applicable.
All-Others..................... 79.82 Not Applicable.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Continuation of Suspension of Liquidation
Pursuant to section 735(c)(1)(B) of the Act, the Department will
instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to continue to
suspend liquidation of all entries of aircraft from Canada, as
described in Appendix I of this notice, which were entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after October 13, 2017,
the date of publication of the Preliminary Determination of this
investigation in the Federal Register.
Further, pursuant to section 735(c)(1)(B)(ii) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.210(d), CBP shall require a cash deposit equal to the estimated
weighted-average dumping margin or the estimated all-others rate, as
follows: (1) The cash deposit rate for the respondent listed above will
be equal to the company-specific estimated weighted-average dumping
margin determined in this final determination; (2) if the exporter is
not the respondent identified above, but the producer is, then the cash
deposit rate will be equal to the company-specific estimated weighted-
average dumping margin established for that producer of the subject
merchandise; and (3) the cash deposit rate for all other producers and
exporters will be equal to the all-others estimated weighted-average
dumping margin.
The Department normally adjusts cash deposits for estimated
antidumping duties by the amount of export subsidies countervailed in a
companion countervailing duty (CVD) proceeding, when CVD provisional
measures are in effect. However, because the Department did not make an
affirmative determination for countervailable export subsidies in the
companion CVD proceeding, the Department has not adjusted the estimated
weighted-average dumping margin to offset countervailable export
subsidies.
Disclosure
Normally, the Department discloses to interested parties the
calculations performed in connection with a final determination within
five days of any public announcement or, if there is no public
announcement, within five days of the date of publication of the notice
of final determination in the Federal Register, in accordance with 19
CFR 351.224(b). However, because the Department applied total AFA to
the individually examined company, Bombardier Inc., in accordance with
section 776 of the Act, and the applied AFA rate is based solely on the
Petition, there are no calculations to disclose.
International Trade Commission Notification
In accordance with section 735(d) of the Act, the Department will
notify the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) of the its final
determination of sales at LTFV. As the final determination is
affirmative, in accordance with section 735(b)(2) of the Act, the ITC
will determine within 45 days of the final determination whether the
domestic industry in the United States is materially injured, or
threatened with material injury, by reason of imports, or sales (or the
likelihood of sales) for importation, of the subject merchandise. If
the ITC determines that such injury exists, the Department will issue

Appendix I
Scope of the Investigation
The merchandise covered by this investigation is 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 150-seat 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 two-class 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:
[[Page 61257]]
(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.
