SUPPLEMENTARY
INFORMATION: Title III of the Export Trading Company Act
of
1982 (``The Act'') (Pub. L. 97-290, 15 U.S.C. 4011-21) Authorizes
the
Secretary of Commerce to Issue Export Trade Certificates of Review.
The
Regulations Implementing Title III (``the Regulations'') are found
at
15 CFR Part 325 (1999). Pursuant to this Authority, a Certificate of
Review
was issued on May 3, 1993 to Refined Sugar Trading Institute.
A
Certificate Holder is required by law to submit to the Secretary
of
Commerce Annual Reports that update financial and other information
relating
to business activities covered by its Certificate (Section 308
of
the Act, 15 U.S.C. 4018, Section 325.14(a) of the Regulations, 15
CFR
325.14(a)). The Annual Report is due within 45 days after the
Anniversary
Date of the Issuance of the Certificate of Review (Sections
325.14(a)
and (b) of the Regulations). Failure to submit a complete
Annual
Report may be the Basis for Modification or Revocation (Sections
325.10(a)(3)
and 325.14(c) of the Regulations). On the following dates
April
23, 2005, April 23, 2006 and April 23, 2007, the Secretary of
Commerce
sent to Refined Sugar Trading Institute a letter containing
Annual
Report questions stating that its annual report was due on June
17,
2005, June 17, 2006 and June 17, 2007, respectively. The Secretary
has
received no written response from Refined Sugar Trading Institute
or
Domino Sugar Corporation relating to Domino Sugar Corporation's
annual
report. On July 12, 2007, and in accordance with Section
325.14(a)
and (b) of the Regulations, the Secretary of Commerce sent a
letter
by Certified Mail to notify Refined Sugar Trading Institute that
the
Secretary was formally initiating the process to modify its
Certificate
to remove Domino Sugar Corporation for its failure to file
annual
reports directly or through the Refined Sugar Trading Institute.
The
Secretary has received no response from Refined Sugar Trading
Institute.
Pursuant to Section 325.10(a)(3) of the Regulations (15 CFR
325.10(a)(3)),
the Secretary considers the response of Refined Sugar
Trading
Institute to be an admission of the statements contained in the
notification
letter. The Secretary has determined to modify the
Certificate
issued to Refined Sugar Trading Institute for the failure
to
file a complete Annual Report. The Secretary has sent a letter,
dated
August 20, 2007 to notify the Refined Sugar Trading Institute of
its
final determination.
The Modification is effective thirty (30)
days from the date of
publication
of this notice (325.10(a)(3) of the
[[Page
49257]]
Regulations,
15 CFR 325.14(c)). Any person aggrieved by this decision
may
appeal to an appropriate U.S. District Court within 30 days from
the
date of publication of this notice in the Federal Register ``( 15
CFR
325.11 of the Regulations).''
Dated: August 20, 2007.
