SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title III of the Export Trading Company Act

terms and conditions. The regulations implementing title III are found 
at 15 CFR part 325. OTEA is issuing this notice pursuant to 15 CFR 
325.6(b), which requires the Secretary of Commerce to publish a summary 
of the certification in the Federal Register. Under Section 305(a) of 
the Act and 15 CFR 325.11(a), any person aggrieved by the Secretary's 
determination may, within 30 days of the date of this notice, bring an
