Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 67 / Friday, April 8, 2005 / Notices On April 4, 2005, the Committee decided, on its own initiative, to consider whether imports of Chinese origin cotton trousers, Category 347/348 are, due to the existence of market disruption, threatening to impede the orderly development of trade in these products. See 68 FR 27787, May 21, 2003; 68 FR 494440, August 18, 2003. The Committee is soliciting public comments on this matter. It invites the public to provide information and analyses to assist the Committee in considering whether market disruption exists, and, if so, the role of imports from China in that disruption. Such information may include the following: recent and historical data regarding the U.S. market for cotton trousers (including import and U.S. production data); a description of how, if at all, Chinese origin cotton trousers have affected the domestic industry, such as the effects of imports from China on prices in the United States; and any other pertinent information. Any member of the public who provides information to the Committee should also indicate the sources from which information provided was obtained. In providing comments, the public may wish to consider the following data which are available at website: https:// otexa.ita.doc.gov: Category 347/348, Cotton trousers (1,000 dozen) Period Imports from the World 2002 2003 2004 Year-todate March 2004 Year-todate March 2005 1 Yearending March 2004 Yearending March 2005 1 1 Includes Imports from China China’s Share of Imports (%) 140,305 154,903 149,307 41,032 2,787 2,476 2,184 406 2.0 1.6 1.5 1.0 47,860 6,583 13.8 151,619 2,026 1.3 156,134 8,361 5.4 James C.

Interested persons are invited to submit VerDate jul<14>2003 ten copies of such comments to the Chairman, Committee for the Implementation of Textile Agreements, Room 3100A, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th and Constitution Avenue N.W., Washington, DC 20230. The Committee will protect any business confidential information that is marked ‘‘business confidential’’ from disclosure to the full extent permitted by law. To the extent that business confidential information is provided, two copies of a non-confidential version must also be provided in which business confidential information is summarized or, if necessary, deleted. Comments received, with the exception of information marked ‘‘business confidential’’, will be available for inspection between Monday - Friday, 8:30 a.m and 5:30 p.m in the Trade Reference and Assistance Center Help Desk, Suite 800M, USA Trade Information Center, Ronald Reagan Building, 1300 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, Washington, DC, (202) 482-3433. The Committee expects to make a determination within 60 calendar days of the close of the comment period as to whether the United States will request consultations with China. If, however, the Committee is unable to make a determination within 60 calendar days, it will cause to be published a notice in the Federal Register, including the date by which it will make a determination. If the Committee makes a negative determination, it will cause this determination and the reasons therefore to be published in the Federal Register. If the Committee makes an affirmative determination that imports of Chinese origin cotton trousers, Category 347/348 are, due to market disruption, threatening to impede the orderly development of trade in these products, the United States will request consultations with China with a view to easing such market disruption in accordance with the Accession Agreement and with the Committee’s procedures. 19:00 Apr 07, 2005 Jkt 205001 CORPORATION FOR NATIONAL AND COMMUNITY SERVICE Senior Corps; Schedule of Income Eligibility Levels Corporation for National and Community Service.
