Authority: Section 203(o)(4) of the
Dominican Republic-Central America-United
States Free Trade Agreement Implementation
Act (CAFTA-DR Act); the Statement of
Administrative Action (SAA), accompanying
the CAFTA-DR Act; Presidential
Proclamations 7987 (February 28, 2006) and
7996 (March 31, 2006).
BACKGROUND:
The CAFTA-DR Agreement provides a
list in Annex 3.25 for fabrics, yarns, and
fibers that the Parties to the CAFTA-DR
Agreement have determined are not
available in commercial quantities in a
timely manner in the territory of any
Party. The CAFTA-DR Agreement
provides that this list may be modified
pursuant to Article 3.25(4)-(56), when
the President of the United States
determines that a fabric, yarn, or fiber is
not available in commercial quantities
in a timely manner in the territory of
any Party. See Annex 3.25, Note; see
also section 203(o)(4)(C) of the Act.
The CAFTA-DR Act requires the
President to establish procedures
governing the submission of a request
and providing opportunity for interested
entities to submit comments and
supporting evidence before a
commercial availability determination is
made. In Presidential Proclamations
7987 and 7996, the President delegated
to CITA the authority under section
203(o)(4) of CAFTA-DR Act for
modifying the Annex 3.25 list. On
February 23, 2006, CITA published
interim procedures it would follow in
considering requests to modify the
Annex 3.25 list (71 FR 9315).
On January 17, 2007, the Chairman of
CITA received a commercial availability
request from Alston & Bird, LLP, on
behalf of Glen River Trading, for certain
two-way stretch woven fabrics of
polyester, rayon, and elastomeric yarns,
of the specifications detailed below. On
January 19, 2007, CITA notified
interested parties of, and posted on its
website, the accepted petition and
requested that interested entities
provide, by January 31, 2007, a response
advising of its objection to the

commercial availability request or its
ability to supply the subject product.
CITA also explained that rebuttals to
responses were due to CITA by February
6, 2007.
No interested entity filed a response
advising of its objection to the request
or its ability to supply the subject
product.
In accordance with Section
203(o)(4)(C) of the CAFTA-DR Act, and
its procedures, as no interested entity
submitted a response objecting to the
request or expressing an ability to
supply the subject product, CITA has
determined to add the specified fabrics
to the list in Annex 3.25 of the CAFTADR Agreement.
The subject fabrics are added to the
list in Annex 3.25 of the CAFTA-DR
Agreement in unrestricted quantities.
