Export Trade Certificate of Review

AGENCY: International Trade

Administration, Commerce.

ACTION: Notice of Initiation of Process to

Revoke Export Trade Certificate of

Review No. 86–00002.

SUMMARY: The Secretary of Commerce

issued an export trade certificate of

review to National Association of Export

Companies, Inc. (‘‘NEXCO’’). Because

this certificate holder has failed to file

an annual report as required by law, the

Department is initiating proceedings to

revoke the certificate. This notice

summarizes the notification letter sent

to NEXCO.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Morton Schnabel, Director, Office of

Export Trading Company Affairs,

International Trade Administration,

(202) 482–5131 (this is not a toll-free

number) or E-mail at oetca@ita.doc.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title III of

the Export Trading Company Act of

1982 (‘‘the Act’’) (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. Pursuant to this authority, a

certificate of review was issued on July

9, 1986 to NEXCO.

A certificate holder is required by law

(Section 308 of the Act, 15 U.S.C. 4018)

to submit to the Department of

Commerce annual reports that update

financial and other information relating

to business activities covered by its

certificate. The annual report is due

within 45 days after the anniversary

date of the issuance of the certificate of

review (Sections 325.14(a) and (b) of the

Regulations). Failure to submit a

complete annual report may be the basis

for revocation. (Sections 325.10(a) and

325.14(c) of the Regulations).

The Department of Commerce sent to

NEXCO on June 29, 1999, a letter

containing annual report questions with

a reminder that its annual report was

due on August 23, 1999. Additional

reminders were sent on September 27,

1999, and on December 1, 1999. The

Department has received no written

response to any of these letters.

On September 25, 2000, and in

accordance with Section 325.10 (c)(1) of

the Regulations, a letter was sent by

certified mail to notify NEXCO 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).

Dated: September 25, 2000.

Affairs.
