one marketing group, and seven marketing boards. The Department has
determined that it is not practicable to conduct company-specific
reviews of the order on Live Swine from Canada because a large number of
exporters and producers requested the review. Therefore, pursuant to
section 777A(e)(2)(B) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, the
Department will conduct a country-wide review on the basis of aggregate
data. We note the investigation and all prior reviews of this order have
been conducted on an aggregate basis.

falling between the first and second or third and fourth anniversary of
the publication of an antidumping duty order under section 351.211 or a
determination under section 351.218(d) (sunset review), the Secretary,
if requested by a domestic interested party within 30 days of the date

or producer subject to the review if the subject merchandise is sold in
the United States through an importer that is affiliated with such
exporter or producer. The requester must include the name(s) of the
exporter or producer for which the inquiry is requested.
For transition orders defined in section 751(c)(6) of the Act, the
Secretary will apply paragraph (j)(1) of this section to any
administrative review initiated in 1996 or 1998 (19 CFR 351.213(j)(1-
2)).
Interested parties must submit applications for disclosure under
administrative protective orders in accordance with 19 CFR 353.34(b)
and 355.34(b).

751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1675(a)) and 19
CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i).
