SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Authority: Section 213(b)(2)(A)(v)(II) of the
Caribbean Basin Economic Recovery Act, as
added by Section 211(a) of the CBTPA;
Section 6 of Executive Order No. 13191 of
January 17, 2001; Presidential Proclamation
7351 of October 2, 2000; Section 204
(b)(3)(B)(ii) of the ATPDEA; Presidential
Proclamation 7616 of October 31, 2002,
Executive Order 13277 of November 19,
2002, and the United States Trade
Representative’s Notice of Further
Assignment of Functions of November 25,
2002.
Background
The CBTPA and ATPDEA provides
for quota-and duty-free treatment for
qualifying textile 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 and
ATPDEA also provides for duty-free
treatment for apparel articles that are
both cut (or knit-to-shape) and sewn or
otherwise assembled in one or more
CBTPA and ATPDEA beneficiary
countries from fabric or yarn that is not
formed in the United States or a
beneficiary country, 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 ATPDEA 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 September 29, 2005, following a
determination that the compacted,
plied, ring spun cotton yarns could not
be supplied by the domestic industry in
commercial quantities in a timely
manner under the CBTPA and ATPDEA,
CITA designated certain apparel made
from U.S. formed fabric containing such
yarns as eligible for duty-free treatment
under the CBTPA and ATPDEA. On
January 10, 2006, the Chairman of CITA
received a petition from The National
Council of Textiles Organizations
(NCTO) alleging that yarns substitutable
for these yarns can be supplied by the
domestic industry in commercial
quantities in a timely manner, and
requesting that CITA revoke its previous
designation regarding these yarns. This
petition can be viewed online at https://

The CBTPA and ATPDEA provides for quota-and duty-free treatment for
