Application No. 92-00015.

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

SUMMARY: The Secretary of Commerce issued an Export Trade Certificate 
of Review to Refined Sugar Trading Institute on May 3, 1993. Because

required by law, the Secretary is modifying the certificate. This 
notice summarizes the notification letter sent to Refined Sugar Trading 
Institute.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jeffrey Anspacher, Director, Export 
Trading Company Affairs, International Trade Administration, 202/482-
5131. This is not a Toll-free number.

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 May 3, 1993 to Refined Sugar Trading Institute.
    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, Section 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 (Sections 
325.14(a) and (b) of the Regulations). Failure to submit a complete 
Annual Report may be the Basis for Modification or Revocation (Sections 
325.10(a)(3) and 325.14(c) of the Regulations). On the following dates 
April 23, 2005, April 23, 2006 and April 23, 2007, the Secretary of 
Commerce sent to Refined Sugar Trading Institute a letter containing 
Annual Report questions stating that its annual report was due on June 
17, 2005, June 17, 2006 and June 17, 2007, respectively. The Secretary 
has received no written response from Refined Sugar Trading Institute 
or Domino Sugar Corporation relating to Domino Sugar Corporation's 
annual report. On July 12, 2007, and in accordance with Section 
325.14(a) and (b) of the Regulations, the Secretary of Commerce sent a 
letter by Certified Mail to notify Refined Sugar Trading Institute that 
the Secretary was formally initiating the process to modify its 
Certificate to remove Domino Sugar Corporation for its failure to file 
annual reports directly or through the Refined Sugar Trading Institute. 
The Secretary has received no response from Refined Sugar Trading 
Institute. Pursuant to Section 325.10(a)(3) of the Regulations (15 CFR 
325.10(a)(3)), the Secretary considers the response of Refined Sugar 
Trading Institute to be an admission of the statements contained in the 
notification letter. The Secretary has determined to modify the 
Certificate issued to Refined Sugar Trading Institute for the failure 
to file a complete Annual Report. The Secretary has sent a letter, 
dated August 20, 2007 to notify the Refined Sugar Trading Institute of 
its final determination.
    The Modification is effective thirty (30) days from the date of 
publication of this notice (325.10(a)(3) of the

[[Page 49257]]

Regulations, 15 CFR 325.14(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 ``( 15 
CFR 325.11 of the Regulations).''

    Dated: August 20, 2007.
Jeffrey Anspacher,
Director Export Trading Company Affairs.
