325.6(b), which requires the Secretary of Commerce to publish a summary

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.
