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

(``Certificate''). This notice summarizes the proposed amendment and

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. An Export Trade Certificate 
of Review protects the holder and the members identified in the

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 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, U.S. 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 90-5A005.''
