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.
