Amendment to Notice

AGENCY: International Trade Administration, Department of Commerce.

SUMMARY: This notice amends the June 30th notice (71 FR 37543) to 
extend the deadline to October 27, 2006, for submission of applications 
for the Summit only portion of the Department of Commerce Under 
Secretarial Business Development Mission to India and to raise the 
ceiling on the number of participants for the Summit portion of the 
Mission to 230. These changes are implemented in response to 
overwhelming interest on the part of the U.S. business community and an 
agreement on the part of the Summit sponsors in India to accommodate an 
increased participant base. The application for the Summit portion of 
the India Business Development Mission is available in a downloadable 
fax-back version on the event Web site: http://export.gov/indiamission. 
The application may also be completed and submitted online. Leaders of 
U.S. business, industry, education, and state and local government are 
among those encouraged to take part in the Summit, where strategic 
breakout sessions will provide access to India's high-level business, 
industry, and government representatives and insights into the 
country's trade and investment climate. The deadline to apply for the 
post-Summit spin-off missions to be held in Bangalore, Kolkata, 
Chennai, Hyderabad, Mumbai, and New Delhi remains October 2, 2006. The 
spin-off missions are open to qualified U.S. business representatives 
seeking one-on-one business appointments with prospective agents, 
distributors, partners, and end-users. Applications for the spin-off 
missions are available on the above-cited event Web site. Selection 
criteria and procedures for the Summit and spin-off missions are
