Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 6 / Monday, January 10, 2005 / Notices
ATPDEA, Presidential Proclamation 7616 of
October 31, 2002, Executive Order 13277 of
November 19, 2002, and the United States
Trade Representative’s Notice of Further
Assignment of Functions of November 25,
2002.
Background
The AGOA, the CBTPA, and the
ATPDEA provide for quota- and dutyfree treatment for qualifying textile and
apparel products. Such treatment is
generally limited to products
manufactured from yarns and fabrics
formed in the United States or a
beneficiary country. The AGOA, the
CBTPA, and the ATPDEA also provide
for quota- and duty-free treatment for
apparel articles that are both cut (or
knit-to-shape) and sewn or otherwise
assembled in one or more beneficiary
countries from fabric or yarn that is not
formed in the United States, if it has
been determined that such fabric or yarn
cannot be supplied by the domestic
industry in commercial quantities in a
timely manner. In Executive Order No.
13191 (66 FR 7271) and pursuant to
Executive Order No. 13277 (67 FR
70305) and the United States Trade
Representative’s Notice of Redelegation
of Authority and Further Assignment of
Functions (67 FR 71606), CITA has been
delegated the authority to determine
whether yarns or fabrics cannot be
supplied by the domestic industry in
commercial quantities in a timely
manner under the AGOA, the CBTPA,
or the ATPDEA. On March 6, 2001,
CITA published procedures that it will
follow in considering requests (66 FR
13502).
On January 3, 2005, the Chairman of
CITA received a petition from Alston &
Bird, LLP, on behalf of their client, GeRay Fabrics, Inc., that a certain antimicrobial elastomeric filament yarn, of
the specifications below, classified in
under HTSUS subheadings
5402.49.9005 and 5404.10.8005 cannot
be supplied by the domestic industry in
commercial quantities in a timely
manner. It request quota and duty-free
treatment under the AGOA, the CBTPA,
and the ATPDEA for apparel articles
that are both cut (or knit-to-shape) and
sewn in one or more AGOA CBTPA, or
ATPDEA beneficiary countries from
such yarns or U.S.-formed fabrics
containing such yarns.
The anti-microbial elastomeric yarn
that is the subject of this request is of
filament fiber, ranging from 20 to 70
denier (22.2 to 77.8 decitex). This
elastomeric yarn looks like and can be
processed like ordinary elastomeric
yarn, but it includes an anti-microbial
agent that gives the yarn a unique and
desirable functionality. The anti-

microbial agent is a compound that
represents 0.2 to 5 percent by weight of
the elastomeric yarn.
CITA is soliciting public comments
regarding this request, particularly with
respect to whether these yarns can be
supplied by the domestic industry in
commercial quantities in a timely
manner. Also relevant is whether other
yarns that are supplied by the domestic
industry in commercial quantities in a
timely manner are substitutable for this
yarn for purposes of the intended use.
Comments must be received no later
than January 25, 2005. Interested
persons are invited to submit six copies
of such comments or information to the
Chairman, Committee for the
Implementation of Textile Agreements,
room 3100, U.S. Department of
Commerce, 14th and Constitution
Avenue, N.W., Washington, DC 20230.
If a comment alleges that this yarn can
be supplied by the domestic industry in
commercial quantities in a timely
manner, CITA will closely review any
supporting documentation, such as a
signed statement by a manufacturer of
the yarn stating that it produces the yarn
that is the subject of the request,
including the quantities that can be
supplied and the time necessary to fill
an order, as well as any relevant
information regarding past production.
CITA will protect any business
confidential information that is marked
business confidential from disclosure to
the full extent permitted by law. CITA
will make available to the public nonconfidential versions of the request and
non-confidential versions of any public
comments received with respect to a
request in room 3100 in the Herbert
Hoover Building, 14th and Constitution
Avenue, N.W., Washington, DC 20230.
Persons submitting comments on a
request are encouraged to include a nonconfidential version and a nonconfidential summary.
