Export Trade Certificate of Review
ACTION: Correction of Previously Published Notice of Application
(87-8A001) to Amend an Export Trade Certificate of Review
Issued to Independent Film and Television Alliance (formerly named
American Film Marketing Association).
SUMMARY: Export Trading Company Affairs (``ETCA''), International Trade
Administration, Department of Commerce, has received an application to
amend an Export Trade Certificate of Review (``Certificate''). A notice
summarizing the proposed amendment was published in the Federal
Register on December 15, 2008 (73 FR 75999), requesting comments
relevant to whether the amended Certificate should be issued. The
Federal Register notice published on December 15, 2008, contained
errors. This correction notice supersedes the notice dated December 15,
2008.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jeffrey Anspacher, Director, Export
Trading Company Affairs, International Trade Administration, (202) 482-
5131 (this is not a toll-free number) or e-mail at oetca@ita.doc.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title III of the Export Trading Company Act
of 1982 (15 U.S.C. 4001-21) authorizes the Secretary of Commerce to
issue Export Trade Certificates of Review. An Export Trade Certificate
of Review protects the holder and the members identified in the
Certificate from state and federal government antitrust actions and
from private treble damage antitrust actions for the export conduct
specified in the Certificate and carried out in compliance with its
terms and conditions. Section 302(b)(1) of the Export Trading 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 proposed export conduct.
Request for Public Comments
Interested parties may submit written comments relevant to the
determination

days after the date of this notice to: Export Trading Company Affairs,
International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, Room

exempt from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C.
