Title III are found at 15 CFR part 325 (2015). Section 302(b)(1) of the 
Export Trade 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 application. Under 15 CFR 325.6(a), 
interested parties may, within twenty days after the date of this 
notice, submit written comments to the Secretary on the application.

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
