manner and certain procedural
requirements have been met. In
Presidential Proclamation 7351, the
President proclaimed that this treatment
would apply to apparel articles from
fabrics or yarn designated by the
appropriate U.S. government authority
in the Federal Register. In Executive
Order 13191, the President authorized
CITA to determine whether yarns or
fabrics cannot be supplied by the
domestic industry in commercial
quantities in a timely manner.
On February 7, 2006, the Chairman of
CITA received a petition from Sandler,
Travis, and Rosenberg, P.A., on behalf of
B*W*A, alleging that certain 100
percent cotton, yarn-dyed 3- or 4-thread
twill weave, flannel fabrics, of combed,
ring spun single yarns, of the
specifications detailed below, classified
in HTSUS subheading 5208.43.0000, for
use in woven cotton shirts, blouses, and
dressing gowns, cannot be supplied by
the domestic industry in commercial
quantities in a timely manner. It
requested quota and duty free treatment
under the CBTPA for woven cotton
shirts, blouses, and dressing gowns that
are both cut and sewn or otherwise
assembled in one or more CBTPA
beneficiary countries from such fabrics.
On February 13, 2006, CITA requested
public comment on the petition. See
Request for Public Comment on
Commercial Availability Petition under
the United States - Caribbean Basin
Trade Partnership Act (CBTPA) (71 FR
7542). On March 1, 2006, CITA and the
U.S. Trade Representative (USTR)
offered to hold consultations with the
Committee on Ways and Means of the
House of Representatives and the
Committee on Finance of the Senate
(collectively, the Congressional
Committees). On March 22, 2006 the
U.S. International Trade Commission
provided advice on the petition.
Based on the information and advice
received and its understanding of the
industry, CITA determined that the
fabrics set forth in the petition cannot be
supplied by the domestic industry in
commercial quantities in a timely
manner. On April 7, 2006, CITA and
USTR submitted a report to the
Congressional Committees that set forth
the action proposed, the reasons for
such action, and the advice obtained. A
period of 60 calendar days since this
report was submitted has expired.
CITA hereby designates as eligible for
preferential treatment under HTSUS
subheading 9820.11.27, products in
Categories 340, 341, and 350, that are
both cut and sewn or otherwise
assembled in one or more eligible
CBTPA beneficiary countries, from

the special rules for findings and
trimmings, certain interlinings and de
minimis fibers and yarns under section
211(b)(2)(A)(vii) of the CBTPA, and that

States from an eligible CBTPA

ACTION:
SUMMARY: This notice announces BPA’s
intention to prepare an EIS on proposed

criteria for all salmonid species,
including mid-Columbia steelhead,
which are listed as threatened under the
Endangered Species Act.
This action may involve floodplains
and wetlands located in Klickitat
County, Washington. In accordance
with DOE regulations for compliance
with floodplain and wetlands
environmental review requirements,
BPA will prepare a floodplain and
wetlands assessment and will design
this proposed action in a manner so as
to avoid or minimize potential harm to
or within the affected floodplain and
wetlands. The assessment and a
floodplain statement of findings will be
included in the EIS being prepared for
