This notice serves as an amendment
to that notice and is being published in
its entirety with additions to the agenda.
The Committee will continue
development of alternatives for
consideration in an amendment to
address the management of small mesh
multispecies (silver hake, red hake,
offshore hake). The committee will also
discuss alternatives for limited access
qualification criteria and possible
approaches for addressing historical
fishery participants as well as possible
approaches for managing the catch of
small mesh multispecies in nondirected fisheries. The committee will
continue development of alternatives for
specifying Optimum Yield (OY) and
discuss alternatives for total allowable
catches (TACs) and TAC-based
management in the small mesh
multispecies fishery. In addition to
working on the development of
alternatives for an amendment to
address small mesh multispecies, the
Pelagics Committee will discuss
whether the Council should require
observer coverage on at-sea processors
in the herring fishery and possibly make
a recommendation to the Council on
this issue. Other topics may be covered
at the committee’s discretion.
Although non-emergency issues not
contained in this agenda may come
before this group for discussion, those
issues may not be the subject of formal
action during this meeting. Action will
be restricted to those issues specifically
listed in this notice and any issues
arising after publication of this notice
that require emergency action under
section 305(c) of the Magnuson-Stevens
Act, provided the public has been
notified of the Council’s intent to take
final action to address the emergency.

SUPPLEMENTARYINFORMATION:
jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES
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. Articles that otherwise meet the
rule of origin to qualify for preferential
treatment are not disqualified because
they contain one of the products on the
Annex 3.25 list.
The CAFTA-DR Agreement provides
that this list may be modified pursuant
to Article 3.25(4)-(5), 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. The CAFTA-DR Act states
that the President will make a
determination on whether additional
fabrics, yarns, and fibers are available in
commercial quantities in a timely
manner in the territory of any Party. The
CAFTA-DR Act requires the President to
establish procedures governing the
submission of a request and to provide
an 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).
CITA published Final Procedures on
March 21, 2007. (72 FR 13256).
On March 16, 2007, the Chairman of
CITA received a request from Sandler,
Travis & Rosenberg, P.A., on behalf of
Intradeco Apparel, for certain cotton/
polyester circular knit fleece fabric, of
the specifications detailed below. On
March 20, 2007, CITA notified
interested parties of, and posted on its
website, the accepted petition and
requested that interested entities
provide, by March 30, 2007, a response
advising of its objection to the request
or its ability to supply the subject
product, and rebuttals to responses by
April 5, 2007.
On March 23, 2007, Liztex Guatemala
submitted a response objecting to the

request; however, on March 30, 2007,
Liztex Guatemala withdrew its
objection. Therefore, no interested
entity submitted a response advising
CITA of its objection to the request or
its ability to supply the subject product.
In accordance with Section
203(o)(4)(C)(iii)(II) 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 CAFTA-DR
Agreement.
The subject fabrics are added to the
list in Annex 3.25 CAFTA-DR
Agreement in unrestricted quantities. A
revised list has been published on-line.
