Live Swine From Canada: Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results of Five-Year Review

AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration, Department of Commerce

ACTION: Notice of extension of time limit for preliminary results of five-year (``sunset'') review

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (``the Department'') is extending the time limit for the preliminary results of the sunset review on the countervailing duty order on live swine from Canada. Based on adequate responses from domestic and respondent interested parties, the Department is conducting a full sunset review to determine whether revocation of the order would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of a countervailable subsidy. As a result of this extension, the Department intends to issue its preliminary results not later than June 21, 1999.

EFFECTIVE DATE: March 29, 1999.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Scott E. Smith or Melissa G. Skinner, Import Administration, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, Pennsylvania Avenue and 14th Street, NW., Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-6397, or (202) 482-1560 respectively.

Extension of Preliminary Results

The Department has determined that the sunset review of the countervailing duty order on live swine from Canada is extraordinarily complicated. In accordance with section 751(c)(5)(C)(v) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the Act''), the Department may treat a review as extraordinarily complicated if it is a review of a transition order (i.e., an order in effect on January 1, 1995). See section 751(c)(6)(C) of the Act. The Department is extending the time limit for completion of the preliminary results of this review until not later than June 21, 1999, in accordance with section 751(c)(5)(B) of the Act. The final results of this review will, therefore, be due not later than October 28, 1999.

Dated: March 22, 1999. Robert S. LaRussa, Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
