\1\ The period of review shown in the August 16, 1995 (60 FR 42500)

initiation notice covering sebacic acid from the PRC should have read

as stated above.

\2\ 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

and that the companies requesting review, except for Pryme Pork Ltd.,

and the Government of Canada requested a review on a country-wide

basis.

Interested parties must submit applications for disclosure under

administrative protective orders in accordance with 19 CFR 353.34(b)

and 355.34(b).

These initiations and this notice are in accordance with section

751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1675(a)), and

19 CFR 353.22(c)(1) and 355.22(c)(1).

Dated: September 13, 1995.

Joseph A. Spetrini,

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Compliance.
