SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION

Background

    Trade names adopted by business entities may be recorded with 
Customs to afford the particular business entity with increased 
commercial protection. Customs procedure for recording trade names is 
provided at Sec. 133.12 of the Customs Regulations (19 CFR 133.12). 
Pursuant to this regulatory provision, the Red Bull GmbH, an Austrian 
corporation organized under the laws of the State of Salzburg, and 
located at Brunn 115, A-5330 Fuschl am See, Oesterreich, Austria, 
applied to Customs for protection of its trade name ``RED BULL NORTH 
AMERICA, INC''.
    On Thursday, June 14, 2001, Customs published a notice of 
application for the recordation of the trade name ``RED BULL NORTH 
AMERICA, INC.'' in the Federal Register (66 FR 32414). The application 
advised that before final action would be taken on the application, 
consideration would be given to any relevant data, views, or arguments 
submitted in writing by any person in opposition to the recordation of 
this trade name and received not later than August 13, 2001.
    On Thursday, July 12, 2001, Customs published a correction of 
publication in the Federal Register (66 FR 36617), of the June 14, 
2001, notification to record a trade name because part of the 
corporation's full trade name was erroneously omitted (i.e., NORTH 
AMERICA, INC.).
    The comment period closed August 13, 2001. No comments were 
received during the comment period. Accordingly, as provided by 
Sec. 133.12 of the Customs Regulations, ``RED BULL NORTH AMERICA, 
INC.'' is recorded with Customs as the trade name used by Red Bull 
GmbH, and will remain in force as long as this trade name is used by 
this corporation, unless other action is required.
    The trade name is used on a product called Red Bull Energy Drink 
and point of sale and other promotional materials for Red Bull Energy 
Drink. The merchandise is manufactured in Austria.
