U.S. Producers’ Questionnaire - 100- to 150-seat LCA (Final)

Page 2

PART I.--GENERAL INFORMATION
Background.--This proceeding was instituted in response to a petition filed on April 27, 2017, by The
Boeing Company, Chicago, Illinois. Countervailing and antidumping duties may be assessed on the
subject imports as a result of these proceedings if the Commission makes an affirmative determination
of injury, threat, or material retardation, and if the U.S. Department of Commerce (“Commerce”) makes
an affirmative determination of subsidization and/or dumping. Questionnaires and other information
pertinent to this proceeding are available at
https://www.usitc.gov/investigations/701731/2017/100_150_seat_large_civil_aircraft_canada/final.ht
m.
100- to 150-seat LCA covered by these investigations are aircraft 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 seat 100 to 150
passengers on commercial airlines routes, when the aircraft contain 8 passenger seats
configured for a 36-inch pitch, and the remaining passenger seats are configured for a 32-inch
pitch (regardless of actual seating configuration). For example, aircraft with a “standard 100- to
150-seat two-class seating capacity” can be configured with fewer than 100 seats (e.g., a CS100
with an all business class configuration). “Pitch” refers to the distance between a point on one
seat and the same point on the seat in front of it.
Having 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.
100- to 150-seat LCA are currently imported under statistical reporting number 8802.40.0040 of the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS). The HTSUS provisions are for convenience and
customs purposes; the written description of the scope is dispositive.
Examples of 100- to 150-seat LCA meeting the definition of 100- to 150-seat LCA include but are not
limited to, 737-700, 737 MAX 7, CS100, CS300, A319ceo, and A319neo.
Regional civil aircraft includes aircraft either (a) with seat counts less than 100 intended for civil uses or
(b) aircraft with seat counts between 100 and 150 that do not otherwise conform to in-scope 100- to
150-seat LCA as defined on page 2 (e.g., Embraer 190, Bombardier CRJ 700, CRJ 900, and CRJ 1000).
Other single aisle LCA includes large civil aircraft with a single aisle that do not meet the definition of
100- to 150-seat LCA as defined on page 2 or regional civil aircraft as defined above (e.g., Boeing 737800/737 MAX 8, 737-900/737 MAX 9, 737 MAX 10, and Airbus A321).
All other LCA includes large civil aircraft not included in the definition of 100- to 150-seat LCA as defined
on page 2 or as “other single aisle LCA” as defined above (i.e., LCA with more than one aisle).

Confidentiality.--The commercial and financial data furnished in response to this questionnaire that
reveal the individual operations of your firm will be treated as confidential by the Commission to the
extent that such data are not otherwise available to the public and will not be disclosed except as may
be required by law (see 19 U.S.C. § 1677f). Such confidential information will not be published in a
manner that will reveal the individual operations of your firm; however, general characterizations of
numerical business proprietary information (such as discussion of trends) will be treated as confidential
business information only at the request of the submitter for good cause shown.
Verification.--The information submitted in this questionnaire is subject to audit and verification by the
Commission. To facilitate possible verification of data, please keep all files, worksheets, and supporting
documents used in the preparation of the questionnaire response. Please also retain a copy of the final

Release of information.--The information provided by your firm in response to this questionnaire, as
well as any other business proprietary information submitted by your firm to the Commission in
connection with this proceeding, may become subject to, and released under, the administrative
protective order provisions of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. § 1677f) and section 207.7 of the
Commission’s Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR § 207.7). This means that certain lawyers and
other authorized individuals may temporarily be given access to the information for use in connection
with this proceeding or other import-injury proceedings conducted by the Commission on the same or
similar merchandise; those individuals would be subject to severe penalties if the information were
divulged to unauthorized individuals.

maintenance, repair, janitorial and guard services, product development, auxiliary production
for plant’s own use (e.g., power plant), recordkeeping, and other services closely associated
with the above production operations.
Average number employed may be computed by adding the number of employees, both full
time and part time, for the 12 pay periods ending closest to the 15th of the month and divide
that total by 12. For the January to September periods, calculate similarly and divide by 9.
“Hours worked” – includes time paid for sick leave, holidays, and vacation time. Include
overtime hours actually worked; do not convert overtime pay to its equivalent in straight time
hours.

III-9b. Financial data reconciliation.--The calculable line items from question III-9a (i.e., total net sales
quantities and values, total COGS, gross profit (or loss), total SG&A, and net income (or loss))
have been calculated from the data submitted in the other line items. Do the calculated fields
return the correct data according to your firm's financial records ignoring non-material
differences that may arise due to rounding?
Yes

No--If the calculated fields do not show the correct data, please double check the
feeder data for data entry errors and revise.
Also, check signs accorded to the post operating income line items; the two
expense line items should report positive numbers (i.e., expenses are
positive and incomes or reversals are negative--instances of the latter
should be rare in those lines) while the income line item also in most
instances should have its value be a positive number (i.e., income is positive,
expenses or reversals are negative).
If after reviewing and potentially revising the feeder data your firm has
provided, the differences between your records and the calculated fields
persist please identify and discuss the differences in the space below.

RECONCILIATION OF SHIPMENTS, PRODUCTION, AND INVENTORY.--Generally, the data reported for the
end-of-period inventories (i.e., line L) should be equal to the beginning-of-period inventories (i.e., line B),
plus production (i.e., line C), less total shipments (i.e., lines D, F, H, and J). Please ensure that any
differences are not due to data entry errors in completing this form, but rather reflect your firm’s actual
records; and, also provide explanations for any differences (e.g., theft, loss, damage, record systems
issues, etc.) if they exist.

Employment data.--Report your firm’s employment-related data related to the production of
other single aisle LCA and provide an explanation for any trends in these data.
“Production and Related Workers” (PRWs) includes working supervisors and all nonsupervisory
workers (including group leaders and trainees) engaged in fabricating, processing, assembling,
inspecting, receiving, storage, handling, packing, warehousing, shipping, trucking, hauling,
maintenance, repair, janitorial and guard services, product development, auxiliary production
for plant’s own use (e.g., power plant), recordkeeping, and other services closely associated
with the above production operations.
Average number employed may be computed by adding the number of employees, both full
time and part time, for the 12 pay periods ending closest to the 15th of the month and divide
that total by 12. For the January to September periods, calculate similarly and divide by 9.
“Hours worked” – includes time paid for sick leave, holidays, and vacation time. Include
overtime hours actually worked; do not convert overtime pay to its equivalent in straight time
hours.
“Wages paid” – Total wages paid before deductions of any kind (e.g., withholding taxes, old-age
and unemployment insurance, group insurance, union dues, bonds, etc.). Include wages paid
directly by your firm for overtime, holidays, vacations, and sick leave.

Operations on other single aisle LCA.--Report the revenue and related cost information
requested below of the specified other single aisle LCA (737-800/737 MAX 8 or 737-900/737
MAX 9, 737 Max 10, or equivalent) operations of your firm’s U.S. establishment(s).1 Do not
report resales of products. Note that internal consumption and transfers to related firms must
be valued at fair market value. Input purchases from related suppliers should be consistent with
and based on information in the firm’s accounting books and records. Provide data for your
firm’s three most recently completed fiscal years, and for the specified interim periods
"Ancillary goods and services."--To the degree your firm's original sales contracts for the
provision of other single aisle LCA include ancillary goods and services, please include the value
of those goods and services in the reported net sales value lines as appropriate, and the
associated costs as part of COGS. Do not include any revenues or costs in V-5 relating to
separate contractual arrangements for the provision of ancillary goods and services related to
other single aisle LCA that are entered into separate from the sale of any aircraft.
"Non-recurring costs."--Within COGS report any non-recurring development and start-up costs
which include developments costs, manufacturing start-up costs that do not quality as R&D
expense or inventoriable costs, or lump sum payments to suppliers and program tooling.
