SUMMARY: On August 29, 2011, notice was published on page 53705 of the 
Federal Register (volume 76, number 167) of determinations made by the 
Department of State pertaining to the exhibition ``Seductive Luxury and

to include additional objects as part of the exhibition. Notice is 
hereby given of the following determinations: Pursuant to the authority 
vested in me by the Act of October 19, 1965 (79 Stat. 985; 22 U.S.C. 
2459), Executive Order 12047 of March 27, 1978, the Foreign Affairs 
Reform and Restructuring Act of 1998 (112 Stat. 2681, et seq.; 22

1, 1999, Delegation of Authority No. 236-3 of August 28, 2000 (and, as

hereby determine that the additional objects to be included in the 
exhibition ``Extravagant Inventions: The Princely Furniture of the 
Roentgens,'' imported from abroad for temporary exhibition within the 
United States, are of cultural significance. The additional objects are 
imported pursuant to loan agreements with the foreign owners or 
custodians. I also determine that the exhibition or display of the 
additional exhibit objects at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, 
NY, from on or about October 29, 2012, until on or about January 27, 
2013, and at possible additional exhibitions or venues yet to be 
determined, is in the national interest. At the conclusion of the 
exhibition at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, three of the works will 
continue to be displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art until on or 
about January 31, 2014. I have ordered that Public Notice of these 
Determinations be published in the Federal Register.
