Correction

In the Federal Register of April 10, 2020, in FR Doc. 2020-07544, on page 20243, in the third column, correct the “Background” caption to read:

Due to recent developments in the region, it has been determined that to allow for optimal execution of recruitment and event scheduling for the mission, the dates of the mission are modified from October 25-30, 2020 to March 7-12, 2021. As a result of the shift of the event dates the date of the application deadline is also revised from August 14, 2020 to January 8, 2021 (and after that date if space remains and scheduling constraints permit). Interested U.S. companies and trade associations/organizations that have not already applied are encouraged to do so. The U.S. Department of Commerce will review applications and make selection decisions on a rolling basis in accordance with the original Notice published at 85 FR 12259 (March 2, 2020).
