CERTIFICATION

    I hereby certify that, in my opinion, Commission deliberations 
scheduled for September 5, 2002, concerning non-public 
investigations and inquiries may properly be closed to public 
observation. Discussions are likely to involve disclosure of trade 
secrets or financial information or other privileged or confidential 
information obtained from a person. Discussions also may involve 
investigative records compiled for law enforcement purposes, or 
information which if written would be contained in such records, the 
disclosure of which would interfere with enforcement proceedings. 
Further, discussions may involve the possible initiation of 
administrative proceedings the premature disclosure of which could 
frustrate implementation of proposed agency action.
    The relevant exemptions on which this certification is based are 
set forth in 5 U.S.C. Sec. Sec.  552b(c)(4), (7)(A), and (9)(B), 
(10), and 18 C.F.R. Sec. Sec.  375.205(a)(4), (7)(I), (9)(ii), and 
(10).

    Dated: August 28, 2002.
Cynthia A. Marlette,
General Counsel.
