Export Trade Certificate of Review

ACTION: Notice of Application to Amend an Export Trade Certificate of 
Review.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Export Trading Company Affairs (``ETCA'') of the International 
Trade Administration, Department of Commerce, has received an 
application to amend an Export Trade Certificate of Review 
(``Certificate''). This notice summarizes the proposed amendment and 
requests comments relevant to whether the Certificate should be issued.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jeffrey Anspacher, Director, Export 
Trading Company Affairs, International Trade Administration, (202) 482-

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 
Certificate from state and federal government antitrust actions and 
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: Export Trading Company Affairs, 
International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, Room 
7021B, 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, Ferrous Scrap Export Association 
(``FSEA''), application number 88-3A015.''
    FSEA's original Certificate was issued on December 12, 1988 (53 FR 
51294, December 21, 1988) and previously amended on February 28, 1989 
(54 FR 9542, March 7, 1989); and February 5, 1999 (64 FR 6632, February
