SUMMARY: The United States Department of Commerce, International Trade

Business Development Mission to Kenya--This notice is to update the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

Executive-Led Business Development Mission to Kenya

    The International Trade Administration has determined that to allow 
for optimal execution of recruitment and event scheduling for the 
mission, the proposed timetable for the trade mission is revised to 
eliminate the optional stop in Tanzania on Monday, March 27, and 
Friday, March 31. The trade mission is now scheduled to take place 
entirely in Kenya (per the proposed timetable below).
    After extensive public outreach, the application deadline was also 
changed from January 27, 2023, to February 10, 2023. In accordance with 
88 FR 1186 (January 9, 2023), applications received after the deadline 
will be considered if space and scheduling constraints permit. The U.S. 
Department of Commerce will review applications and make selection 
decisions on a rolling basis in accordance with the 88 FR 1186 (January 
9, 2023). The applicants selected will be notified as soon as possible. 
The proposed schedule is updated as follows:
