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

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
