ACTION: Notice of application to amend certificate.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Office of Export Trading Company Affairs (``OETCA''),

received an application to amend an Export Trade Certificate of Review. 
This notice summarizes the proposed amendment and requests comments 
relevant to whether the amended Certificate should be issued.

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. A 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 Act 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

privileged or confidential business information will be deemed to be 
nonconfidential. An original and five copies, plus two 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, Department of Commerce, 
Room 1104, Washington, DC 20230. Business confidential 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, 
application number 90-6A007''.
