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 April 8, 1999 to C-Shore International.
    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(b) of the Regulations, 15 CFR 325.14(b)). Failure to submit a 
complete annual report may be the basis for revocation (Sections 
325.10(a) and 325.14(c) of the Regulations, 15 CFR 325.10(a)(3) and 
325.14(c)). On March 29, 2008, the Secretary of Commerce sent to C-
Shore International a letter containing annual report questions,

stating that its annual report was due on May 23, 2008. Reminders were 
sent on the following dates:
    August 22, 2008, October 3, 2008, and December 15, 2008. The 
Secretary has received no written response from C-Shore International 
to any of these letters. On December 15, 2008, and in accordance with 
Section 325.10(c)(1) of the Regulations (15 CFR 325.10(c)(1)), the 
Secretary of Commerce sent a letter by certified mail to notify C-Shore 
International, that the Secretary was formally initiating the process 
to revoke its Certificate for failure to file an annual report. The 
Secretary has received no response from C-Shore International. Pursuant 
to Section 325.10(c)(2) of the Regulations (15 CFR 325.10(c)(2)), the 
Secretary considers the failure of C-Shore International, to respond to 
be an admission of the statements contained in the notification letter. 
The Secretary has determined to revoke the Certificate issued to C-
Shore International for its failure to file an annual report. The 
Secretary has sent a letter, dated January 21, 2009, to notify C-Shore 
International of this final determination.
    The revocation is effective thirty (30) days from the date of 
publication of this notice (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 ``(15 CFR 325.11 of 
the Regulations).''

Director, Export Trading Company Affairs.
