Sec. 4014. Reporting requirement; amendment of certificate;
revocation
(a) Report of changes in matters specified; application to amend;
treatment as application for issuance
(1) Any applicant who receives a certificate of review--
(A) shall promptly report to the Secretary any change relevant
to the matters specified in the certificate, and
(B) may submit to the Secretary an application to amend the
certificate to reflect the effect of the change on the conduct
specified in the certificate.
(2) An application for an amendment to a certificate of review shall
be treated as an application for the issuance of a certificate. The
effective date of an amendment shall be the date on which the
application for the amendment is submitted to the Secretary.
(b) Request for compliance information; failure to provide; notice of
noncompliance; revocation or modification; antitrust
investigation; no civil investigative demand
(1) If the Secretary or the Attorney General has reason to believe
that the export trade, export trade activities, or methods of operation
of a person holding a certificate of review no longer comply with the
standards of section 4013(a) of this title, the Secretary shall request
such information from such person as the Secretary or the Attorney
General deems necessary to resolve the matter of compliance. Failure to
comply with such request shall be grounds for revocation of the
certificate under paragraph (2).
(2) If the Secretary or the Attorney General determines that the
export trade, export trade activities, or methods of operation of a
person holding a certificate no longer comply with the standards of
section 4013(a) of this title, or that such person has failed to comply
with a request made under paragraph (1), the Secretary shall give
written notice of the determination to such person. The notice shall
include a statement of the circumstances underlying, and the reasons in
support of, the determination. In the 60-day period beginning 30 days
after the notice is given, the Secretary shall revoke the certificate or
modify it as the Secretary or the Attorney General deems necessary to
cause the certificate to apply only to the export trade, export trade
activities, or methods of operation which are in compliance with the
standards of section 4013(a) of this title.
(3) For purposes of carrying out this subsection, the Attorney
General, and the Assistant Attorney General in charge of the antitrust
division of the Department of Justice, may conduct investigations in the
same manner as the Attorney General and the Assistant Attorney General
conduct investigations under section 1312 of this title, except that no
civil investigative demand may be issued to a person to whom a
certificate of review is issued if such person is the target of such
investigation.
