Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 38 / Tuesday, February 26, 2008 / Notices
On February 1, 2008, the Chairman of
CITA received a request from Gentry
Mills, alleging that certain viscose rayon
fiber, classified under subheading
5504.10.0000 of the HTSUS, cannot be
supplied by the domestic or Australian
industry in commercial quantities in a
timely manner and requesting that CITA
consider whether the USAFTA rule of
origin for 52% viscose/48% polyester
blended yarn of HTSUS subheading
5510.90.2000 should be modified to
allow the use of non-U.S. and nonAustralian viscose rayon fiber of HTSUS
5504.10.0000.
CITA is soliciting public comments
regarding this request, particularly with
respect to whether the viscose rayon
fiber described above can be supplied
by the domestic industry in commercial
quantities in a timely manner.
Comments must be received no later
than March 27, 2008. Interested persons
are invited to submit six copies of such
comments or information to the
Chairman, Committee for the
Implementation of Textile Agreements,
Room 3001, U.S. Department of
Commerce, 14th and Constitution
Avenue, N.W., Washington, DC 20230.
If a comment alleges that viscose
rayon fiber can be supplied by the
domestic industry in commercial
quantities in a timely manner, CITA will
closely review any supporting
documentation, such as a signed
statement by a manufacturer stating that
it produces viscose rayon fiber that is
the subject of the request, including the
quantities that can be supplied and the
time necessary to fill an order, as well
as any relevant information regarding
past production.
CITA will protect any business
confidential information that is marked
‘‘business confidential’’ from disclosure
to the full extent permitted by law.
CITA will make available to the public
non-confidential versions of the request
and non-confidential versions of any
public comments received with respect
to a request in Room 3001 in the Herbert
Hoover Building, 14th and Constitution
Avenue, N.W., Washington, DC 20230.
In addition, non-confidential versions of
the request and non-confidential
versions of any public comments will be
posted for public review on the Office
of Textiles and Apparel (‘‘OTEXA’’)
website (otexa.ita.doc.gov). Persons
submitting comments on a request are
encouraged to include a non-
confidential version and a nonconfidential summary.
