Review Issued to Northwest Fruit Exporters, Application No. 84-25A12.

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

SUMMARY: The Office of Trade and Economic Analysis (``OTEA'') of the

received an application to amend an Export Trade Certificate of Review 
(``Certificate''). This notice summarizes the proposed amendment and

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 as 
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 
7025X, 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, application number 84-24A12.''
    The Northwest Fruit Exporters' (``NWF'') original Certificate was 
issued on June 11, 1984 (49 FR 24581), and last amended on September 
11, 2013 (78 FR 58286). A summary of the current application for an 
amendment follows.
