FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Brandy Hutnak or Jennifer Skidmore,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
subject permit is requested under the
authority of the Endangered Species Act
of 1973, as amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C.
1531 et seq.) and the regulations
governing the taking, importing, and
exporting of endangered and threatened
species (50 CFR 222–226).
The applicant proposes to collect,
necropsy, sample, and salvage dead
shortnose sturgeon (Acipenser
brevirostrum) found beached, sunken,
floating etc., or taken legally during
other authorized activities, for the
purposes of education and scientific
research. The purpose of the proposed
research is to use the collected sturgeon
to support past, ongoing, and
anticipated research including, but not
limited to, morphology, genetics,
histopathology, contaminants, age and
growth, food habits, and human impact/
anthropogenic mortality. Additionally,
this work would help promote the
conservation of shortnose sturgeon by
enabling educators to receive and
maintain parts from deceased sturgeon.
The number of fish collected annually
would vary, but likely would not exceed
100 per year, unless there was a
catastrophic event (e.g. oil spill, fish
kill). Carcasses would be collected
opportunistically throughout their range

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)-(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. See Annex 3.25, Note; see

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
March 21, 2007, CITA published final
procedures it would follow in
considering requests to modify the
Annex 3.25 list (72 FR 13256).
On August 20, 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
August 22, 2007, CITA notified
interested parties of, and posted on its
website, the accepted petition and
requested that interested entities
provide, by September 4, 2007, a
response advising of its objection to the
commercial availability request or its
ability to supply the subject product.
