American Manufacturing Trade Action
Coalition, the National Council of
Textile Organizations, the National
Textile Association, and UNITE HERE
requesting that the Committee limit
imports from China of cotton and manmade fiber curtains and drapery
(Category 369 Part/666 Part). They
request that a textile and apparel
safeguard action, as provided for in the
Report of the Working Party on the
Accession of China to the World Trade
Organization (the Accession
Agreement), be taken on imports of such
curtains and drapery. The Committee
hereby solicits public comments on this
request, in particular with regard to
whether imports from China of such
curtains and drapery are, due to market
disruption, threatening to impede the
orderly development of trade in this
product. Comments must be submitted
by August 18, 2005 to the Chairman,
Committee for the Implementation of
TextileAgreements, Room 3001A,
United States Department of Commerce,

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jay

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Authority: Authority: Section 204 of the
Agriculture Act of 1956, as amended;
Executive Order 11651, as amended.
BACKGROUND:
The Report of the Working Party on
the Accession of China to the World
Trade Organization (WTO) provides
that, if a WTO Member, such as the
United States, believes that imports of
Chinese origin textile and apparel
products are, ‘‘due to market disruption,
threatening to impede the orderly
development of trade in these
products,’’ it may request consultations
with China with a view to easing or
avoiding the disruption. Pursuant to this
provision, if the United States requests
consultations with China, it must, at the
time of the request, provide China with
a detailed factual statement showing (1)
the existence or threat of market
disruption; and (2) the role of products
of Chinese origin in that disruption.
Beginning on the date that it receives
such a request, China must restrict its
shipments to the United States to a level
no greater than 7.5 percent (6 percent
for wool product categories) above the
amount entered during the first 12
months of the most recent 14 months
preceding the month in which the
request was made.
The Committee has published
procedures (the Procedures) it follows
VerDate jul<14>2003
17:15 Jul 18, 2005
Jkt 205001
in considering requests for Accession
Agreement textile and apparel safeguard
actions (68 FR 27787, May 21, 2003; 68
FR 49440, August 18, 2003), including
the information that must be included
in such requests in order for the
Committee to consider them.
On June 22, 2005, the Committee
received a request that an Accession
Agreement textile and apparel safeguard
action be taken on imports from China
of cotton and man-made fiber curtains
and drapery (Category 369 Part/666
Part). The Committee has determined
that this request provides the
information necessary for the
Committee to consider the request in
light of the considerations set forth in
the Procedures. The text of the request
is available at https://otexa.ita.doc.gov/
Safeguard05.htm.
The Committee is soliciting public
comments on this request, in particular
with regard to whether imports from
China of such curtains and drapery are,
due to market disruption, threatening to
impede the orderly development of
trade in this product.
Comments may be submitted by any
interested person. Comments must be
received no later than August 18, 2005.
Interested persons are invited to submit
ten copies of such comments to the
Chairman, Committee for the
Implementation of Textile Agreements,
Room 3001A, U.S. Department of
Commerce, 14th and Constitution
Avenue N.W., Washington, DC 20230.
If a comment alleges that there is no
market disruption or that the subject
imports are not the cause of market
disruption, the Committee will closely
review any supporting information and
documentation, such as information
about domestic production or prices of
like or directly competitive products.
Particular consideration will be given to
comments representing the views of
actual producers in the United States of
a like or directly competitive product.
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

Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
41377
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 and man-made fiber
curtains and drapery 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 or avoiding such market
disruption in accordance with the
Accession Agreement and the
Committee’s procedures.

Chairman, Committee for the Implementation
of Textile Agreements.
