seq.), authorizes the Secretary of
Commerce to issue, with the

Export Trade Certificate of Review to
any person that establishes that its
proposed export trade, export trade
activities, and methods of operation
meet the four standards found in
Section 303(a) of the Act, 15 U.S.C. 4001
et seq. An Export Trade Certificate of

Act. The collection of information
constitutes the essential basis of the
statutory determinations to be made by
the Secretary of Commerce and the
Attorney General.
The Department of Commerce
conducts its economic and legal
analysis of the information supplied by
applicants through the Office of Trade
and Economic Analysis and the Office
of the General Counsel. In the
Department of Justice, analysis is
conducted by the Antitrust Division.
Title III was enacted to reduce
uncertainty regarding the application of
U.S. antitrust laws to export activities.
An Export Trade Certificate of Review
provides its holder and members named
in the Certificate with (a) protection
from government actions under state
and federal antitrust laws for the export
conduct specified in the Certificate, and

by limiting liability in private actions to
actual damages when the challenged
