GENERAL ISSUES A. BEST INFORMATION AVAILABLE AND ADVERSE INFERENCES 108. The United States claims that "the only basis for a Panel taking adverse inferences under the SCM Agreement is if a party fails to cooperate with information gathering under Annex V of the SCM Agreement." (US Comments on EC RPQ1, footnote 26) How does the United States reconcile that proposition with the statements found at para. 202 and footnote 128 of the Appellate Body report in Canada – Aircraft? 1. The United States made this statement as part of its response to Question 2, which sought comments regarding the EC’s request that the Panel “adopt” its assertions regarding the U.S. programs subject to this dispute as an “adverse inference.” The United States understands this request as being the EC’s proposal of a penalty in response to what the EC asserts was “non- cooperation in the information-gathering process.” The United States has shown repeatedly that the predicate of the EC’s request does not exist, as the United States has cooperated fully with all information gathering related to the EC’s claims of subsidization of large civil aircraft. The point that the United States sought to make in the statement quoted in this question is that the only basis under the SCM Agreement for punitive adverse inferences – like the ones urged by the EC – lies in Annex V. This view is fully consistent with paragraph 202 and footnote 128 of Canada – Aircraft (AB). 2. It is important to note that the “adverse inferences” discussed by the Appellate Body in Canada – Aircraft were qualitatively and quantitatively different than those sought by the EC in this dispute. Canada had refused to submit specific information in its possession that the panel requested, defending its decision with reasons that the Appellate Body subsequently found “less than persuasive.”1 Brazil had asked the Panel to take “adverse inferences” that the information in question “was in its nature or tenor, adverse to Canada and supportive of Brazil’s claim that EDC’s debt financing, at least in that particular transaction, amounted to a prohibited export subsidy.”2 The Appellate Body emphasized that the “adverse inference” that Brazil believes the Panel should have drawn is not appropriately regarded as a punitive inference in the sense of a “punishment” or “penalty” for Canada’s withholding of information. It is merely an inference which in certain circumstances could be logically or reasonably derived by a 3 panel from the facts before it. 1 Canada – Aircraft (AB), para. 196. 2 Canada – Aircraft (AB), para. 199. 3 Canada – Aircraft (AB), para. 200. U.S. AND EC BUSINESS CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION REDACTED United States – Measures Affecting Trade Response of the United States to the Second Set of in Large Civil Aircraft (Second Complaint) (DS353) Questions from the Panel to the Parties April 14, 2008 – Page 2 The Appellate Body emphasized that a panel evaluating such an inference “should examine very closely indeed whether the full ensemble of the facts on the record reasonably permits the inference urged by one of the parties to be drawn . .”4 3. In contrast, the EC does not seek inferences “logically” or “reasonably” derived from the facts.

    FINAL FINAL SUPPLEMENTAL ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT FOR AMENDMENT TO THE OPERATIONS SPECIFICATIONS FOR AIR CARRIER OPERATIONS AND AMENDMENT TO A PART 139 AIRPORT OPERATING CERTIFICATE Snohomish County Airport/Paine Field Everett, Washington Prepared for: ALASKA AIRLINES and UNITED AIRLINES INC. and U.S. DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION As lead Federal Agency pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act Prepared by: Environmental Science Associates February 2019 This Environmental Assessment becomes a Federal document when evaluated, signed and dated by the Responsible FAA Official. _______________________________ February 15, 2019 Responsible FAA Official Date ERRATA Summary of Changes In early November 2018, after publication of the Draft Supplemental Environmental Assessment (EA) in September 2018 and the subsequent Public Information Workshop/Public Hearing in October 2018, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) was informed that Southwest Airlines had withdrawn its proposal to operate at Paine Field. Southwest Airlines stated that business considerations resulted in its decision to not commence service to Paine Field. The five flights formerly proposed by Southwest Airlines (i.e., “gate allocations”) were acquired by Alaska Airlines in early November 2018. The current proposals by Alaska Airlines and United Airlines (and their partners, Horizon Air and SkyWest Airlines) evaluated in this Final Supplemental EA reflect the same combined gate allocations, which result in the same number of total operations as analyzed in the Draft Supplemental EA that was circulated for public review. While the number of operations in the current Proposed Action remains the same as the Proposed Action1 evaluated in the public Draft Supplemental EA, five flights per day will be operated with smaller aircraft (Embraer 175s instead of Boeing 737-700s), which will result in a reduction in passenger enplanements.
