SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title III of the Export Trading Company Act 
of 1982 (``the Act'') [Pub. L. No. 97-290, 15 U.S.C. 4011-21] 
authorizes the Secretary of Commerce to issue export trade certificates 
of review. The regulations implementing Title III [``the Regulations''] 
are found at 15 CFR part 325 (1986). Pursuant to this authority, a 
certificate of review was issued on July 2, 1992 to Chris D. McFarland 
(d/b/a McChris International).
    A certificate holder is required by law to submit to the Department 
of Commerce annual reports that update financial and other information 
relating to business activities covered by its certificate (Section 308 
of the Act, 15 U.S.C. 4018, Section 235.14(a) of the Regulations, 15 
CFR 325.14 (a)). The annual report is due within 45 days after the 
anniversary date of the issuance of the certificate of review [Sections 
325.14 (b) of the Regulations, 15 CFR 325.14 (b)). Failure to submit a 
complete annual report may be the basis for revocation (Sections 
325.10(a) and 325.14(c) of the Regulations, 15 CFR 325.10(a)(3) and 
325.14(c)).
    On June 21, 1996, the Department of Commerce sent to Chris D. 
McFarland (d/b/a McChris Internationa) a letter containing annual 
report questions with a reminder that its annual report was due on 
August 16, 1996. Additional reminders were sent on August 26, 1996 and 
on October 10, 1996. The Department has received no written response 
from Chris D. McFarland (d/b/a McChris International) to any of these 
letters.
    On November 20, 1996, and in accordance with Section 325.10(c)[2] 
of the Regulations, [15 CFR 325.10(c)(2)], the Department of Commerce 
sent a letter by certified mail to notify Chris D. McFarland (d/b/a 
McChris International) that the Department was formally initiating the 
process to revoke its certificate for failure to file an annual report. 
In addition, a summary of this letter allowing Chris D. McFarland (d/b/
a McChris International) thirty days to respond was published in the 
Federal Register on November 26, 1996 at 61 FR 60091. Pursuant to 
325.10(c)(2) of the Regulations (15 CFR 325.10(c)(2)), the Department 
considers the failure of Chris D. McFarland (d/b/a McChris

International) to respond to be an admission of the statements 
contained in the notification letter.
    The Department has determined to revoke the certificate issued to 
Chris D. McFarland (d/b/a McChris International) for its failure to 
file an annual report. The Department has sent a letter, dated January 
2, 1997, to notify Chris D. McFarland (d/b/a McChris International) of 
its determination. The revocation is effective thirty (30) days from 
the date of publication of this notice. Any person aggrieved by this 
decision may appeal to an appropriate U.S. district court within 30 
days from the date on which this notice is published in the Federal 
Register 325.10(c)(4) and 325.11 of the Regulations, 15 CFR 
324.10(c)(4) and 325.11 of the Regulations, 15 CFR 325.10(c) (4) and 
325.11.
