            Description:        Cross-Border Services

                                Title III of the Export Trading Company Act
                                of 1982 authorizes the Secretary of Commerce
                                to issue "certificates of review" with
                                respect to export conduct.  The Act provides
                                for the issuance of a certificate of review
                                where the Secretary determines, and the
                                Attorney General concurs, that the export
                                conduct specified in an application will not
                                have the anticompetitive effects proscribed
                                by the Act.  A certificate of review limits
                                the liability under federal and state
                                antitrust laws in engaging in the export
                                conduct certified.

                                Only a "person" as defined by the Act can
                                apply for a certificate of review.  "Person"
                                means "an individual who is a resident of the
                                United States; a partnership that is created
                                under and exists pursuant to the laws of any
                                State or of the United States; a State or
                                local government entity; a corporation,
                                whether organized as a profit or nonprofit
                                corporation, that is created under and exists
                                pursuant to the laws of any State or of the
                                United States; or any association or
                                combination, by contract or other
                                arrangement, between such persons."

                                A foreign national or enterprise may receive
                                the protection provided by a certificate of

                                applicant.  The regulations define "member"
                                to mean "an entity (U.S. or foreign) that is
                                seeking protection under the certificate with
                                the applicant.  A member may be a partner in
                                a partnership or a joint venture; a
                                shareholder of a corporation; or a

            Description:        Cross-Border Services

                                With some limited exceptions, the export from
                                the United States of all commodities, and all
                                technical data, requires either a general
                                license or a validated license or other
                                authorization granted by the Office of Export
                                Licensing, U.S. Department of Commerce.  A
                                general license requires no application or
                                documentation and is generally available for
                                use by all persons.

                                An application for a validated license may be
                                made only by a person subject to the
                                jurisdiction of the United States who is in
                                fact the exporter, or by his duly authorized
                                agent.  An application may be made on behalf
                                of a person not subject to the jurisdiction
                                of the United States by an authorized agent
                                in the United States, who then becomes the
                                applicant.

                                Only air carriers that are "citizens of the
                                United States" may operate aircraft in
                                domestic air service (cabotage) and may
                                provide international scheduled and non-
                                scheduled air service as U.S. air carriers.

                                U.S. citizens also have blanket authority to
                                engage in indirect air transportation
                                activities (air freight forwarding and

                                operators of the aircraft).  In order to
                                conduct such activities, non-U.S. citizens
                                must obtain authority from the Department of
                                Transportation.  Applications for such
                                authority may be rejected for reasons
                                relating to the failure of effective
                                reciprocity, or if the Department of
                                Transportation finds that it is in the public
                                interest to do so.  

                                Under the Federal Aviation Act of 1958, a
                                "citizen of the United States" means:

                                (c)  a U.S. corporation of which the
                                     president and at least two-thirds of the
                                     board of directors and other managing
                                     officers are U.S. citizens, and at least

                                     corporation is owned or controlled by

            Description:        Cross-Border Services

                                1.   Authorization from the Department of
                                Transportation is required for the provision
                                of specialty air services in the territory of
                                the United States.  A person of Canada or
                                Mexico that provides aerial construction,
                                heli-logging, aerial sightseeing, flight
                                training, aerial inspection and surveillance
                                and aerial spraying services may not be
                                authorized to provide those services if there
                                is inadequate reciprocity on the part of the
                                country of the applicant, or if approval
                                would otherwise not be in the public
                                interest. 

                                2.   A person of Mexico or Canada may obtain
                                such authorization to provide, subject to
                                compliance by that person with U.S. safety
                                regulations, aerial mapping, aerial
                                surveying, aerial photography, forest fire
                                management, fire fighting, aerial
                                advertising, glider towing and parachute

                                3.   "Foreign civil aircraft" require
                                authority from the Department of
                                Transportation to conduct specialty air
                                services in the territory of the United
                                States.  "Foreign civil aircraft" are
                                aircraft of foreign registry or aircraft of
                                U.S. registry that are owned, controlled or
                                operated by persons who are not citizens or
                                permanent residents of the Unites States (14
                                C.F.R.   375.1).  Under the Federal Aviation
                                Act of 1958, a "citizen of the United States"
                                means:  

                                (a)  an individual who is a U.S. citizen;

                                (b)  a partnership in which each member is a
                                     U.S. citizen; or

                                (c)  a U.S. corporation of which the
                                     president and at least two-thirds of the

                                     board of directors and other managing
                                     officers are U.S. citizens, and at least
                                     seventy-five percent of the voting
                                     interest in the corporation is owned or
                                     controlled by U.S. citizens (49 U.S.C.
                                     App.   1301(16)).

                                In addition, this statutory requirement has
                                historically been interpreted by the
                                Department of Transportation (and the Civil
                                Aeronautics Board before it) to require that
                                an air carrier in fact be under the actual
                                control of U.S. citizens.  The Department of
                                Transportation makes this determination on a
                                case-by-case basis, and has provided guidance
                                as to certain lines of demarcation.  For
                                example, total foreign equity investment of
                                up to 49 percent (with a maximum of 25
                                percent being voting stock), by itself, is
                                not construed as indicative of foreign
                                control.  See Department of Transportation
                                Order 91-1-41, January 23, 1991.

            Description:        Cross-Border Services

                                1.   Operating authority from the Interstate
                                Commerce Commission (ICC) is required to
                                provide interstate or cross-border bus or
                                truck services in the territory of the United
                                States.  A moratorium remains in place on new
                                grants of operating authority for persons of
                                Mexico.  

                                2.   The moratorium does not apply to the
                                provision of cross-border charter or tour bus
                                services.

                                3.   Under the moratorium, persons of Mexico
                                without operating authority may operate only
                                within ICC Border Commercial Zones, for which
                                ICC operating authority is not required. 
                                Persons of Mexico providing truck services,
                                including for hire, private, and exempt
                                services, without operating authority are
                                required to obtain a certificate of
                                registration from the ICC to enter the United
                                States and operate to or from the ICC Border
                                Commercial Zones.  Persons of Mexico
                                providing bus services are not required to
                                obtain an ICC certificate of registration to
                                provide these services to or from the ICC
                                Border Commercial Zones.

                                4.   Only persons of the United States, using
                                U.S.-registered and either U.S.-built or
                                duty-paid trucks or buses, may provide truck
                                or bus service between points in the
                                territory of the United States.

                                5.   The moratorium has the effect of being
                                an investment restriction because enterprises
                                of the United States providing bus or truck
                                services that are owned or controlled by
                                persons of Mexico may not obtain ICC
                                operating authority.

            Description:        Investment

                                The Clean Water Act authorizes grants for the
                                construction of treatment plants for
                                municipal sewage or industrial waste.  Grant
                                recipients may be privately-owned
                                enterprises.  The Act provides that grants
                                shall be made for treatment works only if
                                such articles, materials and supplies as have
                                been manufactured, mined or produced in the

                                works.  The Administrator of the
                                Environmental Protection Agency has authority
                                not to apply this provision, for example, if
                                the cost of the articles in question is
                                unreasonable (33 U.S.C.   1295).
