submission without appropriate permission to disclose that information 
(including trade secrets and commercial or financial information that 
are privileged or confidential within the meaning of 19 U.S.C. 
2605(i)(1)). We request that any party soliciting or aggregating 
written comments from other persons inform those persons that the

contact information and that they therefore should not include any such 
information in their comments that they do not want publicly disclosed.

Executive Director, Cultural Property Advisory Committee, Department of
