On
February 9, 2007, notice was published
in the Federal Register (72 FR 6222)
that an amendment of Permit No. 42–
1642–03, issued April 28, 2004 (69 FR
24586), had been requested by the
above-named organization. The
requested amendment has been granted
under the authority of the Marine
Mammal Protection Act of 1972, as
amended (16 U.S.C. 1361 et seq.), the
regulations governing the taking and
importing of marine mammals (50 CFR
part 216), the Endangered Species Act of
1973, as amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531
et seq.), the regulations governing the
taking, importing, and exporting of
endangered and threatened species (50
CFR 222–226), and the Fur Seal Act of
1966, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1151 et
seq.).
This permit amendment authorizes an
increase in the number of blood samples
that may be received, imported, or
exported. The increase is to
accommodate the availability of banked
serum samples from other institutions
for Brucella analysis. The amendment
(reflected in the new Permit No. 42–
1642–04) is effective until the expiration
date of the permit, October 15, 2007.
In compliance with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42
U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), a final
determination has been made that the
activity proposed is categorically
excluded from the requirement to
prepare an environmental assessment or
environmental impact statement.
Issuance of this permit amendment, as
required by the ESA, was based on a
finding that such permit: (1) Was
applied for in good faith; (2) will not
operate to the disadvantage of such
endangered species; and (3) is
consistent with the purposes and
policies set forth in section 2 of the
ESA.

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.
VerDate Aug<31>2005

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 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 the CAFTA-DR Act for
modifying the Annex 3.25 list. On
March 21, 2007, CITA published final
procedures it would follow in
considering requests to modify the
Annex 3.25 list (72 FR 13256).
On April 18, 2007, the Chairman of
CITA received a request from Sandler,
Travis & Rosenberg, P.A., on behalf of
Channel Fabrics, for certain polyester/
rayon/spandex two-way stretch woven
fabrics, of the specifications detailed
below. On April 20, 2007, CITA notified
interested parties of, and posted on its
website, the accepted petition and
requested that interested entities
provide, by May 2, 2007, a response
advising of its objection to the request
or its ability to supply the subject
product, and rebuttals to responses by
May 8, 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)(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 of the CAFTADR Agreement.
The subject fabrics are added to the
list in Annex 3.25 of the CAFTA-DR
Agreement in unrestricted quantities. A
revised list has been published on-line.
