specified in the Certificate and carried out in compliance with its
terms and conditions. The regulations implementing Title III are found
at 15 CFR part 325. OTEA is issuing this notice pursuant to 15 CFR
325.6(b), which requires the Secretary of Commerce to publish a summary
of the certification in the Federal Register. Under Section 305(a) of
the Act and 15 CFR 325.11(a), any person aggrieved by the Secretary's
determination may, within 30 days of the date of this notice, bring an
action in any appropriate district court of the United States to set
aside the determination on the ground that the determination is
erroneous.
