SUPPLEMENTARY
INFORMATION: Title III of the Export Trading Company Act
of
1982 (15 U.S.C. 4001-21) authorizes the Secretary of Commerce to
issue
Export Trade Certificates of Review. An Export Trade Certificate
of
Review protects the holder and the members identified in the
Certificate
from state and federal government antitrust actions and
from
private treble damage antitrust actions for the export conduct
specified
in the Certificate and carried out in compliance with its
terms
and conditions. Section 302(b)(1) of the Export Trading Company
Act
of 1982 and 15 CFR 325.6(a) require the Secretary to publish a
notice
in the Federal Register identifying the applicant and
summarizing
its proposed export conduct.
Request
for Public Comments
Interested parties may submit written
comments relevant to the
determination
of whether an amended Certificate should be issued. If
the
comments include any privileged or confidential business
information,
it must be clearly marked and a nonconfidential version of
the
comments (identified as such) should be included. Any comments not
marked
as privileged or confidential business information will be
deemed
to be nonconfidential. An original and five (5) copies, plus two
(2)
copies of the nonconfidential version, should be submitted no later
than
20 days after the date of this notice to: Export Trading Company
Affairs,
International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of
Commerce,
Room 7021B, Washington, DC 20230. Information submitted by
any
person is exempt from disclosure under the Freedom of Information
Act
(5 U.S.C. 552). However, nonconfidential versions of the comments
will
be made available to the applicant if necessary for determining
whether
or not to issue the Certificate. Comments should refer to this
application
as ``Export Trade Certificate of Review, American Sugar
Alliance,
application number 06-A0003.''
The American Sugar Alliance's (``ASA'')
original Certificate was
issued
on March 16, 2007 (72 FR 14081, March 26, 2007). A summary of
the
current application for an amendment follows.

CPAs
to Producers based on this information.
