92-00006.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Secretary of Commerce issued an export trade certificate
of review to Chris D. McFarland (d/b/a McChris International). Because

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: W. Dawn Busby, Director, Office of
Export Trading Company Affairs, International Trade Administration,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title III of the Export Trading Company Act
of 1982 (``the Act'') [Pub. L. No. 97-290, 15 U.S.C. 4011-21]
authorizes the Secretary of Commerce to issue export trade certificates
of review. The regulations implementing Title III [``the Regulations'']
are found at 15 CFR part 325 (1986). Pursuant to this authority, a
certificate of review was issued on July 2, 1992 to Chris D. McFarland
(d/b/a McChris International).
A certificate holder is required by law to submit to the Department
of Commerce annual reports that update financial and other information
relating to business activities covered by its certificate (Section 308
of the Act, 15 U.S.C. 4018, Section 235.14(a) of the Regulations, 15
CFR 325.14 (a)). The annual report is due within 45 days after the
anniversary date of the issuance of the certificate of review [Sections
325.14 (b) of the Regulations, 15 CFR 325.14 (b)). Failure to submit a
complete annual report may be the basis for revocation (Sections
325.10(a) and 325.14(c) of the Regulations, 15 CFR 325.10(a)(3) and
325.14(c)).
On June 21, 1996, the Department of Commerce sent to Chris D.
McFarland (d/b/a McChris Internationa) a letter containing annual
report questions with a reminder that its annual report was due on
August 16, 1996. Additional reminders were sent on August 26, 1996 and
on October 10, 1996. The Department has received no written response
from Chris D. McFarland (d/b/a McChris International) to any of these
letters.
On November 20, 1996, and in accordance with Section 325.10(c)[2]
of the Regulations, [15 CFR 325.10(c)(2)], the Department of Commerce
sent a letter by certified mail to notify Chris D. McFarland (d/b/a
McChris International) that the Department was formally initiating the
process to revoke its certificate for failure to file an annual report.
In addition, a summary of this letter allowing Chris D. McFarland (d/b/
a McChris International) thirty days to respond was published in the
Federal Register on November 26, 1996 at 61 FR 60091. Pursuant to
325.10(c)(2) of the Regulations (15 CFR 325.10(c)(2)), the Department
considers the failure of Chris D. McFarland (d/b/a McChris
[[Page 1324]]
International) to respond to be an admission of the statements
contained in the notification letter.
The Department has determined to revoke the certificate issued to
Chris D. McFarland (d/b/a McChris International) for its failure to
file an annual report. The Department has sent a letter, dated January
2, 1997, to notify Chris D. McFarland (d/b/a McChris International) of
its determination. The revocation is effective thirty (30) days from
the date of publication of this notice. Any person aggrieved by this
decision may appeal to an appropriate U.S. district court within 30
days from the date on which this notice is published in the Federal
Register 325.10(c)(4) and 325.11 of the Regulations, 15 CFR
324.10(c)(4) and 325.11 of the Regulations, 15 CFR 325.10(c) (4) and
325.11.
Dated: January 2, 1997.

Director, Office of Export Trading Company Affairs.
