(b) Capacity (quantity) of your firm(s)
to produce the Subject Merchandise in

production that your establishment(s)
could reasonably have expected to
attain during the year, assuming normal
operating conditions (using equipment

facilities used for other products and the
use, cost, or availability of major inputs
into production); and factors related to
the ability to shift supply among
different national markets (including
barriers to importation in foreign
