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 the list in Annex 3.25 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 also section 203(o)(4)(C)
of the CAFTA-DR Act.
The CAFTA-DR Act requires the
President to establish procedures
governing the submission of a request
and providing 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
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 20, 2007, the Chairman
of CITA received a request from Alston
& Bird, LLP on behalf of Perry
Manufacturing Company for certain
three-thread circular knit fleece fabrics,
of the specifications detailed below. On
September 24, 2007, CITA notified
interested parties of, and posted on its
website, the accepted request and asked
that interested entities provide, by
October 4, 2007, a response advising of
its objection to the request or its ability
to supply the subject product, and
rebuttals to responses by October 11,
2007.
On October 1, 2007, Texpasa, S.A.
(‘‘Texpasa’’) advised CITA of its
objection to the request, explaining its
ability to supply the fabrics listed in the
request. On October 3, 2007, Elasticos
Centro Americanos y Textiles
(‘‘Elcatex’’) advised CITA of its
objection to the request by submitting a
VerDate Aug<31>2005
16:54 Nov 07, 2007
Jkt 214001
response with an offer to supply certain
fabrics.
In its rebuttal submitted on October
10, 2007, Perry asserted that neither
Texpasa’s nor Elcatex’responses were
sufficient. In the case of Texpasa, Perry
claimed that it was concerned that
Tepasa cannot supply the required
quantity of fabric. With respect to
Elcatex, Perry stated that the fabric
Elcatex offered to supply did not meet
Perry’s specifications. As a result, Perry
asserted that Elcatex could not supply
the fabrics in question.
On October 15, 2007, in accordance
with Section 203(o)(4)(C)(iv) of the
CAFTA-DR Implementation Act and
section 8(c)(4) of CITA’s procedures,
because there was insufficient
information to make a determination
after 30 days, CITA extended the period
for making a determination by 14 U.S.
business days.
On October 23 and 24, 2007,
respectively, Texpasa and Elcatex
advised CITA that they were
withdrawing their responses to Perry’s
request.
In accordance with Section
203(o)(4)(C)(iii)(II) of the CAFTA-DR
Act, and its procedures, as the two
entities who objected to the request both
withdrew their objections, and because
no other interested entity submitted a
response advising CITA of its objection
to the request or its ability to supply the
subject product, CITA has determined to
add the specified fabrics to the list in
Annex 3.25 of the CAFTA-DR
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.

with any agency’s ability to perform its
statutory obligations. The IC Clearance

Abstract: This collection will be used
to measure the effectiveness of the
Projects With Industry (PWI) Program in
meeting its purpose, statutory
requirements and address concerns
raised as a result of the PART. The
proposed revisions to the existing data
collection package were recommended
in order to; (1) Respond to OMB PART
recommendations to collect job
retention and earnings information that
is consistent with the common measures
for federal job training programs; (2)
include demographic and other
descriptive data on the individuals
served by the program; and (3)
consolidate the two existing reporting
requirements thereby reducing the
number of reports submitted by PWI
grantees from two to one annually. The
information collected will be aggregated
in order to provide information to
Congress, Office of Management and
Budget, policy makers and the public.
