Export Trade Certificate of Review

ACTION: Notice of Application (84-21A12) To Amend an Export 
Trade Certificate of Review Previously Issued to Northwest Fruit 
Exporters (``NFE'').

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Office of Competition and Economic Analysis (``OCEA'') of 
the International Trade Administration, Department of Commerce, has 
received an application to amend an Export Trade Certificate of Review 
(``Certificate''). This notice summarizes the proposed amendment and 
requests comments relevant to whether the amended Certificate should be 
issued.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Joseph Flynn, Director, Office of 
Competition and Economic Analysis, International Trade Administration,

[email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title III of the Export Trading Company Act 
of 1982 (15 U.S.C. 4001-21) authorizes the Secretary of Commerce to 
issue Certificates. A Certificate protects the holder and the members 
identified in the Certificate from State and Federal government 
antitrust actions and from private treble damage antitrust actions for 
the export conduct specified in the Certificate and carried out in 
compliance with its terms and conditions. Section 302(b)(1) of the 
Export Trading Company Act of 1982 and 15 CFR 325.6(a) require the 
Secretary to publish a notice in the Federal Register identifying the 
applicant and summarizing its proposed export conduct.

Request for Public Comments

    Interested parties may submit written comments relevant to the 
determination whether an amended Certificate should be issued. If the 
comments include any privileged or confidential business information, 
it must be clearly marked and a nonconfidential version of the comments 
(identified as such) should be included. Any comments not marked as 
privileged or confidential business information will be deemed to be 
nonconfidential. An original and five (5) copies, plus two (2) copies 
of the nonconfidential version, should be submitted no later than 20 
days after the date of this notice to: Office of Competition and 
Economic Analysis, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department 
of Commerce, Room 7021-X, Washington, DC 20230. Information submitted 
by any person is exempt from disclosure under the Freedom of 
Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552). However, nonconfidential versions of 
the comments will be made available to the applicant if necessary for 
determining whether or not to issue the Certificate. Comments should 
refer to this application as ``Export Trade Certificate of Review, 
application number 84-21A12.'' The original NFE Certificate (No. 84-
00012) was issued on June 11, 1984 (49 FR 24581, June 14, 1984), and 
last amended on September 16, 2009 (74 FR 48520, September 23, 2009). A
