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

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.
    Export Trade Certificate of Review No. 88-00016 was issued to Wood 
Machinery Manufacturers of America (``WMMA'') on February 3, 1989 (54 
FR 6312, February 9, 1989) and previously amended on June 22, 1990 (55 
FR 27292, July 2, 1990); August 20, 1991 (56 FR 42596, August 28, 
1991); December 20, 1993 (58 FR 66344, December 20, 1993); and August 
23, 1994 (59 FR 44408, August 29, 1994).
