Denial of Commercial Availability
Request under United StatesCaribbean Basin Trade Partnership Act
(CBTPA)
August 2, 2005.
Committee for the
Implementation of Textile Agreements
(CITA).
ACTION: Denial of the request alleging
that certain 100 percent cotton, piece
dyed, seersucker fabrics cannot be
supplied by the domestic industry in
commercial quantities in a timely
manner under the CBTPA.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: On June 1, 2005, the
Chairman of CITA received a petition
from Sandler, Travis & Rosenberg, P.A.,
on behalf of their client, B*W*A of New
York City, alleging that certain 100
percent cotton, piece dyed, plain weave
double warp beam seersucker fabrics, of
detailed specifications, classified in
subheadings 5208.32.30, 5208.32.40,
5208.32.50, and 5209.31.60 of the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTSUS), cannot be
supplied by the domestic industry in
commercial quantities in a timely
manner. The petition requests that
woven shirts, blouses, and sleepwear of
such fabrics be eligible for preferential
treatment under the CBTPA. CITA has
determined that the subject fabrics can
be supplied by the domestic industry in
commercial quantities and in a timely
manner and, therefore, denies the
request.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Authority: Section 211(a) of the CBTPA
amending Section 213(b)(2)(A)(v)(II) of the
Caribbean Basin Economic Recovery Act
(CBERA); Section6 of Executive Order No.
13191 of January 17, 2001; Presidential
Proclamation7351 of October 2, 2000.
Background
The CBTPA provides for quota- and
duty-free treatment for qualifying textile

Jkt 205001
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 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
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), 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
CBTPA. On March 6, 2001, CITA
published procedures that it will follow
in considering requests (66 FR 13502).
On June 1, 2005, the Chairman of
CITA received a petition from Sandler,
Travis & Rosenberg, P.A., on behalf of
their client, B*W*A of New York City,
alleging that certain 100 percent cotton,
piece dyed, plain weave double warp
beam seersucker fabrics, of detailed
specifications, classified in HTSUS
subheadings 5208.32.30, 5208.32.40,
5208.32.50, and 5209.31.60, cannot be
supplied by the domestic industry in
commercial quantities in a timely
manner. The petition requests that
woven shirts, blouses, and sleepwear of
such fabrics be eligible for preferential
treatment under the CBTPA.
On June 8, 2005, CITA published a
notice in the Federal Register requesting
public comments on the petition
particularly with respect to whether this
fabric can be supplied by the domestic
industry in commercial quantities in a
timely manner. See Request for Public
Comments on Commercial Availability
Petition under the United States Caribbean Basin Trade Partnership Act
(CBTPA), 70 FR 33449 (June 8, 2005).
On June 24, 2005, CITA and USTR
offered to hold consultations with the
House Ways and Means Committee and
the Senate Finance Committee, but no
consultations were requested. We also
requested advice from the U.S.
International Trade Commission and the
relevant Industry Trade Advisory
Committees.
Based on the information and advice
received by CITA, public comments,
and the report from the International
Trade Commission, CITA found that
there is domestic production, capacity,
and ability to supply the subject fabrics
in commercial quantities in a timely
manner.

subject fabrics in commercial quantities
in a timely manner. The request from
B*W*A is denied.
