of the CAFTA-DR Agreement

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)–(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
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
March 21, 2007, CITA published final
procedures it would follow in
considering requests to modify the
Annex 3.25 list (72 FR 13256).
On September 19, 2007, the Chairman
of CITA received a commercial
availability request from Alston & Bird,
LLP, on behalf of New World Sourcing,
for certain herringbone stretch woven
fabrics of polyester, rayon and spandex
yarns, of the specifications detailed
below. On September 21, 2007, CITA
notified interested parties of, and posted
on its website, the accepted petition and
requested that interested entities
provide, by October 3, 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 October
10, 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

Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 208 / Monday, October 29, 2007 / Notices
