SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title III of the Export Trading Company Act 
of 1982 (``The Act'') (Pub. L. 97-290, 15 U.S.C. 4011-21) Authorizes 
the Secretary of Commerce to Issue Export Trade Certificates of Review. 
The Regulations Implementing Title III (``the Regulations'') are found 
at 15 CFR Part 325 (1999). Pursuant to this Authority, a Certificate of 
Review was issued on December 4, 1990 to American Textile Export 
Company, Inc.
    A Certificate Holder is required by law to submit to the Secretary 
of Commerce Annual Reports that update financial and other information 
relating to business activities covered by its Certificate (Section 308 
of the Act, 15 U.S.C. 4018, Sec.  325.14(a) of the Regulations, 15 CFR 
325.14(a)).
    The Annual Report is due within 45 days after the Anniversary Date 
of the Issuance of the Certificate of Review (Sec.  325.14(b) of the 
Regulations, 15 CFR 325.14(b)). Failure to submit a complete Annual 
Report may be the Basis for Revocation (Sec.  325.10(a) and 325.14(c) 
of the Regulations, 15 CFR 325.10(a)(3) and 325.14(c)). The Secretary

of the Regulations, (15 CFR 325.10(c)(1)), the Secretary of Commerce 
sent a letter by Certified Mail to notify American Textile Export 
Company, Inc., that the Secretary was formally initiating the process 
to revoke its Certificate for failure to file an annual report. The 
Secretary received notification that the letter was received on March 
15, 2006. Pursuant to Sec.  325.10(c)(2) of the Regulations (15 CFR 
325.10(c)(2)), the Secretary considers the failure of American Textile 
Export Company, Inc. to respond to be an admission of the statements 
contained in the notification letter. The Secretary has determined to 
revoke the Certificate issued to American Textile Export Company, Inc. 
for its failure to file an annual report. The Secretary has sent a 
letter, dated April 17, 2006 to notify the American Textile Export 
Company, Inc. of its final determination. The Revocation is effective 
thirty (30) days from the date of publication of this notice (Sec.  
325.10(c)(4) of the Regulations, 15 CFR 325.10(c)). Any person 
aggrieved by this decision may appeal to an appropriate U.S. District 
Court within 30 days from the date of publication of this notice in the 
Federal Register (Sec.  325.11 of the Regulations, 15 CFR 325.11).
