SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
specifications detailed below, classified
HTSUS subheading 5209.59.0025,
cannot be supplied by the domestic
industry in commercial quantities in a
timely manner and requesting quotaand duty-free treatment under the
CBTPA for woven cotton shirts and
blouses that are cut and sewn in one or
more CBTPA beneficiary countries from
such fabrics.
Authority: Section 213(b)(2)(A)(v)(II) of the

Background:
The petitioner further describes the
fabric as follows:
One face appears to be piece dyed,
but in fact the filing yarns have
been dyed prior to weaving. There
are two sets of filling yarns, thus a
loom capable of pick and pick
filling insertion is required. In this
instance, the warp is also dyed
prior to weaving, but may be
undyed as well. On the other face
(intended to be the fabric back), the
dyed yarns have been covered by a
vivid print, which extends from
selvedge to selvedge. The printing
is done with fiber reactive dyes, not
pigments. The fabric is heavily
napped on both sides.
CITA is soliciting public comments
regarding this request, particularly with
respect to whether these fabrics can be
supplied by the domestic industry in
commercial quantities in a timely
manner. Also relevant is whether other
fabrics that are supplied by the domestic
industry in commercial quantities in a
timely manner are substitutable for the
fabric for purposes of the intended use.
Comments must be received no later
than March 30, 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
The CBTPA provides for quota- and
duty-free treatment for qualifying textile
and apparel products. Such treatment is
generally limited to products
manufactured from yarns or fabrics
formed in the United States. The CBTPA
also provides 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
CBTPA 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, the
President delegated to CITA the
authority to determine whether yarns or
fabrics cannot be supplied by the
domestic industry in commercial
quantities in a timely manner under the
CBTPA and directed CITA to establish
procedures to ensure appropriate public
participation in any such determination.
On March 6, 2001, CITA published
procedures that it will follow in
considering requests. (66 FR 13502).
On March 9, 2005, the Chairman of
CITA received a petition on behalf of
B*W*A of New York, New York alleging

If a comment alleges that these fabrics
can be supplied by the domestic

review any supporting documentation,
such as a signed statement by a
manufacturer of the fabric stating that it
produces the fabric 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.

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE
Notice of Intent To Prepare a Draft
Environmental Assessment for
Beddown of Training and Support
Initiatives at Northwest Field,
Andersen Air Force Base, Guam (U.S.
Territory)
AGENCY: United States Air Force.
SUMMARY: Pursuant to the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of
1969, as amended (42 United States
Code 4321, et seq.), the Council on
Environmental Quality Regulations for
implementing the procedural provisions
of NEPA (40 Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) parts 1500–1508),
and Air Force’s Environmental Impact
Analysis Process (EIAP) as implemented
by 32 CFR part 989, the United States
Air Force (Air Force) is issuing this
notice to advise the public of our
preparation of an Environmental
Assessment (EA) for Beddown of
Training and Support Initiatives at
Northwest Field, Andersen Air Force
Base (AFB), Guam. The EA will analyze
and evaluate the effects of alternatives
for the proposed basing of training and
support initiatives at Northwest Field.
The Air Force evaluated various initial
E:\FR\FM\15MRN1.SGM
15MRN1
Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 49 / Tuesday, March 15, 2005 / Notices
basing alternatives early in the planning
process. Suitable installations were
identified during this process, with
Andersen AFB emerging as the
alternative best meeting the underlying
purpose and need for the action.
Consequently, Andersen AFB is being
considered as the Proposed Action. The
proposed action would support the
Nation’s military deployable
engineering, security and
communications units in the Pacific
Command and worldwide. The
proposed action would enable engineers
to train with security and
communications functions at a common
location, with a combat deployable civil
engineering unit being relocated with
security forces and combat
communications at the same location. It
is estimated that approximately 400
additional military, civilian and
contractor personnel would be required
to support the proposal. The action
would result in facility construction,
addition, and alteration projects to
support basing and operation.
This notice is being provided to
obtain suggestions and information from
other agencies and the public on the
scope of issues to be addressed in the
EA, to include alternatives to the
proposal and the potential for
significant impacts. A public scoping
meeting will be held to provide agencies
and the public the opportunity to
address the scope of the EA. The EA
will end with either a Finding of No
Significant Impact or a determination
that an Environmental Impact Statement
(EIS) is required. This scoping process
may be used to scope for the EIS, should
an EIS be deemed appropriate.
The Air Force will conduct a public
scoping meeting from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.,
Thursday, March 31, 2005 at the
University of Guam, College of Arts and
Science, Lecture Hall B, in Mangilao,
Guam. Public comments on the scope of
the Draft EA, reasonable alternatives
that should be considered, anticipated
environmental concerns, and actions
that might be taken to address these
issues are requested. Written comments
will also be accepted at the address
listed below.
All
comments received at the meeting, and
all written comments received by May
8, 2005 will be considered in preparing
the Draft EA. Please submit written
comments to Mr. Scott Whittaker,
Environmental Flight Chief, Unit 14007,
