SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title III of the Export Trading Company Act

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.

determination 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
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: Office of Export Trading Company
Affairs, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of
Commerce, Room 1104H, Washington, DC 20230. Information submitted by
any person is exempt from disclosure under the Freedom of
[[Page 70211]]
Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552). However, nonconfidential versions of
the comments will be made available to the applicant if necessary for
