Background

    The Commission instituted this investigation effective November 12, 
1998, following receipt of a petition filed with the Commission and the 
Department of Commerce by the Ranchers-Cattlemen Action Legal 
Foundation (``R-Calf'') (Columbus, MT). The final phase of the 
investigation was scheduled by the Commission following notification of 
a preliminary determination by the Department of Commerce that imports 
of live cattle 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 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 August 16, 1999 (64 FR 44538). The hearing was held in 
Washington, DC, on October 6, 1999, 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 November 19, 1999. The views of the 
Commission are contained in USITC Publication 3255 (November 1999), 
entitled Live Cattle from Canada: Investigation No. 731-TA-812 
(Preliminary).

    Issued: November 19, 1999.

    By order of the Commission.
Donna R. Koehnke,
Secretary.
