SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
In order to maintain the current rapid
advance of biophotonics in the U.S. and
to enhance our competitiveness
worldwide, key measurement tools must
be in place. The right measurement
capabilities will improve both
manufacturing efficiency and quality,
and promote acceptance of
biophotonics-based instruments and
technologies through improved
interoperability. As a part of a widereaching effort to improve the U.S.
technology base, the National Institute
of Standards and Technology announces
the road-mapping workshop
‘‘Biophotonic Tools for Cell and Tissue
Diagnostics’’. This meeting will focus on
diagnostic techniques involving the
interaction between biological systems
and photons. Through invited
presentations by industry
representatives, panel discussion, and
the results of the survey given to
workshop participants, the near- and
far-term measurement needs will be
evaluated. As a result of this workshop,
a road-mapping document will be
prepared on the measurement tools
needed for biophotonic cell and tissue
diagnostics. This will become a part of
the larger road-mapping effort to be
presented to the Nation as an
assessment of the U.S. Measurement
System. The information will be used to
highlight measurement needs to the
community and to facilitate solutions
among key stakeholders in industry,
government, and academia.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jay

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Authority: Section 204 of the Agriculture
Act of 1956, as amended; Executive Order
11651, as amended.
BACKGROUND:
On November 8, 2004, the Committee
received a request from the 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 other synthetic
filament fabric (Category 620) due to the
threat of market disruption (‘‘threat
case’’).
The Committee determined this
request provided the information
necessary for the Committee to consider
the request and solicited public
comments for a period of 30 days. See
Solicitation of Public Comment on
Request for Textile and Apparel Action
on Imports from China, 69 FR 70661
(Dec. 7, 2004).
On December 30, 2004, the Court of
International Trade preliminarily
enjoined the Committee from
considering or taking any further action
on this request and any other requests
‘‘that are based on the threat of market
disruption’’. U.S. Association of
Importers of Textiles and Apparel v.
United States, 350 F. Supp. 2d 1342
(CIT 2004). On April 27, 2005 the Court
of Appeals for the Federal Circuit
granted the U.S. government’s motion
for a stay of that injunction, pending
appeal. U.S. Association of Importers of
Textiles and Apparel v. United States,
Ct. No. 05-1209, 2005 U.S. App. LEXIS
12751 (Fed. Cir. June 28, 2005). Thus,
CITA resumed consideration of this
case.
The public comment period for this
request had not yet closed when the
injunction took effect on December 30,
2004. The number of calendar days
remaining in the public comment period
beginning with and including December
30, 2004 was 8 days. On May 9, 2005,
therefore, the Committee published a
notice in the Federal Register reopening the comment period and
inviting public comments to be received
not later than May 17, 2005. See
