SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Title III of the Export Trading Company Act of 1982 (“The Act”) (Pub. L. 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 (1999). Pursuant to this Authority, a Certificate of Review was issued on November 23, 1999 to JV Export Trading Company, Inc.

A Certificate Holder is required by law to submit to the Secretary 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 325.14(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 November 13, 2006, the Secretary of Commerce sent to JV Export Trading Company, Inc., a letter containing Annual Report questions stating that its annual report was due on January 7, 2007. A reminder was sent on July 16, 2007, with a due date of August 17, 2007. The Secretary has received no written response from JV Export Trading Company, Inc., to any of these letters. On August 27, 2007, and in accordance with Section 325.10(c)(1) of the Regulations, (15 CFR 325.10(c)(1)), the Secretary of Commerce sent a letter by Certified Mail to notify JV Export Trading Company, Inc., that the Secretary was formally initiating the process to revoke its Certificate for failure to file an annual report. The Secretary has received no response from JV Export Trading Company, Inc. Pursuant to Section 325.10(c)(2) of the Regulations (15 CFR 325.10(c)(2)), the Secretary considers the failure of JV Export Trading Company, Inc., to respond to be an admission of the statements contained in the notification letter. The Secretary has determined to revoke the Certificate issued to JV Export Trading Company, Inc., for its failure to file an annual report. The Secretary has sent a letter, dated October 4, 2007 to notify the JV Export Trading Company, Inc., of its final determination.

The Revocation is effective thirty (30) days from the date of publication of this notice (325.10(c)(4) of the Regulations, 15 CFR 325.10(c)). Any person aggrieved by this decision may appeal to an appropriate U.S. District Court within 30 days from the date of publication of this notice in the Federal Register (15 CFR 325.11 of the Regulations).

October 4, 2007.
