Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 12 / Wednesday, January 19, 2000 / Notices 2931

On January 11, 2000, and in

accordance with Section 325.10 (c)[1] of

the Regulations, a letter was sent by

certified mail to notify FEXCORP, Inc.,

that the Department was formally

initiating the process to revoke its

certificate. The letter stated that this

action is being taken because of the

certificate holder’s failure to file an

annual report.

In accordance with section

325.10(c)(2) of the Regulations, each

certificate holder has thirty days from

the day after its receipt of the

notification letter in which to respond.

The certificate holder is deemed to have

received this letter as of the date on

which this notice is published in the

Federal Register. For good cause shown,

the Department of Commerce can, at its

discretion, grant a thirty-day extension

for a response.

If the certificate holder decides to

respond, it must specifically address the

Department’s statement in the

notification letter that it has failed to file

an annual report. It should state in

detail why the facts, conduct, or

circumstances described in the

notification letter are not true, or if they

are, why they do not warrant revoking

the certificate. If the certificate holder

does not respond within the specified

period, it will be considered an

admission of the statements contained

in the notification letter (Section

325.10(c)[2] of the Regulations).

If the answer demonstrates that the

material facts are in dispute, the

Department of Commerce and the

Department of Justice shall, upon

request, meet informally with the

certificate holder. Either Department

may require the certificate holder to

provide the documents or information

that are necessary to support its

contentions (Section 325.10(c)[3] of the

Regulations).

The Department shall publish a notice

in the Federal Register of the revocation

or modification or a decision not to

revoke or modify (Section 325.10(c)[4]

of the Regulations). If there is a

determination to revoke a certificate,

any person aggrieved by such final

decision may appeal to an appropriate

U.S. district court within 30 days from

the date on which the Department’s

final determination is published in the

Federal Register (Sections 325.10(c)(4)

and 325.11 of the Regulations).
