        (1) shall include the practice, subsidy, or subsidy program in 
    the proceeding if the practice, subsidy, or subsidy program appears 
    to be a countervailable subsidy with respect to the merchandise 
    which is the subject of the proceeding, or
        (2) shall transfer the information (other than confidential 
    information) concerning the practice, subsidy, or subsidy program to
