Export Trade Certificate of Review

ACTION: Notice of Application (84-21A12) To Amend an Export

Trade Certificate of Review Previously Issued to Northwest Fruit

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.

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.''
