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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title III of the Export Trading Company Act 
of 1982 (15 U.S.C. 4001-21) authorizes the Secretary of Commerce to

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 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.

Request for Public Comments

    Interested parties may submit written comments relevant to the 
determination of 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, Department of 
Commerce, Room 1104H, Washington, DC 20230. 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 
87-16A04.''
    The Association for Manufacturing Technology's (``AMT'') original 
Certificate was issued on May 19, 1987 (52 FR 19371, May 22, 1987) and
