Background

    The Commission instituted this investigation effective March 5, 
2004, following receipt of a petition filed with the Commission and 
Commerce by the National Pork Producers Council, Washington, DC, and 
numerous state associations and individual producers. The final phase 
of the investigation was scheduled by the Commission following 
notification of a preliminary determination by Commerce that imports of 
live swine from Canada were being sold at LTFV within the meaning of 
section 733(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1673b(b)). Notice of the 
scheduling of the final phase of the Commission's investigation and of 
a public hearing to be held in connection therewith was given by 
posting copies of the notice in the Office of the Secretary, U.S. 
International Trade Commission, Washington, DC, and by publishing the 
notice in the Federal Register of November 17, 2004 (69 FR 67364). The 
hearing was held in Washington, DC, on March 8, 2005, and all persons 
who requested the opportunity were permitted to appear in person or by 
counsel.
    The Commission transmitted its determination in this investigation 
to the Secretary of Commerce on April 25, 2005. The views of the 
Commission are contained in USITC Publication 3766 (April 2005), 
entitled Live Swine from Canada: Investigation No. 731-TA-1076 (Final).

    Issued: April 13, 2005.

    By order of the Commission.

Secretary to the Commission.
