AGENCY: International Trade Administration, Department of Commerce.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Assistant Secretary for Trade Development will lead a 
mission to India to explore opportunities for the renovation and 
modernization of existing power plants. The mission, which will occur 
April 28-May 2 in India, will be supported by the Federation of Indian 
Chambers of Commerce and Industry and the U.S. Embassy.

DATES: Interested U.S. firms should apply to participate in the mission 
as soon as possible.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Request for further information should 
be made to Helen Burroughs [phone] or David Knuti [phone] 
at the Commerce Department's Energy Division.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The criteria for selection of mission 
participants are:
     Relevance of a company's business line to mission goals.
     Timeliness of completed application (including 
participation Fee).
     Potential for business in India for company.
    Any partisan political activities (including positical 
contributions) of an applicant are entirely irrelevant to the selection 
process.
    With many power plants operating at 50-60 percent of rated 
capacity, Indian power officials are turning to renovation and 
modernization as a method to attack their country's power shortages. 
The mission will enable participants to become familiar with conditions 
in Indian electric power plants slated for renovation. They will become 
personally acquainted with many Indian officials and have the 
opportunity for one on one sessions.
