(Sec. Sec. 325.14(b) of the Regulations, 15 CFR 325.14(b)). Failure to

submit a complete Annual Report may be the Basis for Revocation

(Sec. Sec. 325.10(a) and 325.14(c) of the Regulations, 15 CFR

325.10(a)(3) and 325.14(c)). On June 30, 2005, the Secretary of

file an annual report. The Secretary has sent a letter, dated April 28,

2006 to notify the Aires Group, Ltd., of its final determination.

CFR 325.10(c)). Any person aggrieved by this decision may appeal to an
