extended the time period for CITA’s
consideration by 14 U.S. business days.
CITA also will announce the extension
on the website.
(i) Process during Extension Period.
During the extended time period, CITA
will request that interested entities
provide additional evidence to support
their claims and information previously
submitted to CITA and may meet with
interested entities. Such evidence may
include inter alia product samples, lab
tests, detailed descriptions of product
facilities, and comparisons of product
performance in the intended end-use of
the subject product.
(ii) CITA also will consider evidence
in support of claims that CAFTA-DR
supplier(s) or manufacturer(s) can
supply a substantially similar product to
that specified in the request.
(iii) CITA will make a determination,
not later than 44 U.S. business days
after the official receipt of a request
whether to approve, approve with
restriction, or deny the request and will
follow the notification process
accordingly.
(5) Deemed Approval. In the unlikely
event that CITA does not make a
determination in response to a request,
not later than 45 U.S. business days
after the official receipt of the request or
not later than 60 U.S. business days
after the official receipt of the request
that was determined to lack sufficient
information pursuant to subsection
(c)(4), the requested subject product
shall be added to the Commercial
Availability list, in accordance with the
requirements of section 202(o)(4)(D) of
the CAFTA-DR.
(6) Whenever the Chairman of CITA
receives information concerning, or a
request from an interested entity for the
review of a final affirmative
determination that resulted in a product
being added to the Commercial
Availability List in Annex 3.25, which
shows changed circumstances sufficient
to warrant a review of such
determination, CITA may conduct a
review of such a determination after
notifying interested parties by e-mail of
the review and posting notice on the
website. During a review conducted by
CITA under this subsection, the entity
seeking revocation of a product from the
Commercial Availability List in Annex
3.25 shall have the burden of persuasion
with respect to whether there are
changed circumstances sufficient to
warrant such revocation. Absent a show
of good cause, CITA may not review a
determination less than 12 months after
the date of publication of notice of that
determination.
9. Six Month Procedures: Submitting a
Request to Remove or Restrict.
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 205001
(a) Request to Remove or Restrict. An
interested entity may file a request with
CITA requesting that a product be either
removed or that a quantity restriction be
introduced six months after a requested
subject product has been added to
Commercial Availability List in an
unrestricted quantity pursuant to
Section 203(o).
(b) Content of a Request to Remove or
Restrict. The request to remove or
restrict must provide the substantive
information set forth in subsection 6(b)
(Contents of a Response with an Offer).
(c) Procedures.
(1) In considering whether to accept a
request to remove or restrict, CITA will
follow procedures set forth in section 5
(Consideration and Acceptance of a
Request).
(2) If CITA determines to accept the
request to remove or restrict, CITA and
any responding interested party shall
follow procedures and contents set forth
in subsections 6(a) and (c) (Response
Submission) and section 7 (Submitting
Rebuttal Evidence).
(3) As set forth in subsections 8(a) and
(b) (Determination Process), CITA will
determine whether the subject product
of the request to remove or restrict is
available in commercial quantities in a
timely manner in the CAFTA-DR area
not later than 30 U.S. business days
after the official receipt of the request.
(i) If CITA determines that the
product is available in commercial
quantities in a timely manner in the
CAFTA-DR area, e.g., that a CAFTA-DR
supplier(s) or manufacturer(s) is capable
to supply all of the subject product
requested originally, then that product
will be removed from the Commercial
Availability List.
(ii) If CITA determines that the
product is available in commercial
quantities in a timely manner in the
CAFTA-DR area, e.g., that a CAFTA-DR
supplier(s) or manufacturer(s) is capable
to supply part of the subject product
requested originally, then a restricted
quantity will be introduced for that
product.
(iii) If the Commercial Availability
List changes as a result of CITA’s
determination for the request to remove
or restrict, CITA will notify interested
parties by e-mail of its determination
and will publish a notice of its
determination for the request to remove
or restrict in the Federal Register.
(A) For removal, the notice will state
that textile and apparel articles
containing the subject product are not to
be treated as originating in a CAFTA-DR
country if the subject product is
obtained from non-CAFTA-DR sources,
effective for goods entered into the
United States on or after six months

Thurmond National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1999
(Pub. L. 105–261) amended 10 U.S.C.

such a price preference for a 1-year
period following a fiscal year in which
DoD achieved the 5 percent goal for
contract awards established in 10 U.S.C.
2323(a). Since, in fiscal year 2005, DoD
exceeded this 5 percent goal, use of this
price preference in DoD acquisitions
must be suspended for a 1-year period,
from March 10, 2006, to March 9, 2007.
