would discriminate among individuals
on the basis of race, religion, national
origin, sex, or age.

Right To Correct and Complete
Information
Prior to any final adverse
determination, the Licensee shall make
available to the individual the contents
of any criminal records obtained from
the FBI for the purpose of assuring
correct and complete information.
Written confirmation by the individual
of receipt of this notification must be
maintained by the Licensee for a period
of one (1) year from the date of the
notification.
If, after reviewing the record, an
individual believes that it is incorrect or
incomplete in any respect and wishes to
change, correct, or update the alleged
deficiency, or to explain any matter in
the record, the individual may initiate
challenge procedures. These procedures
include either direct application by the
individual challenging the record to the
agency (i.e., law enforcement agency)
that contributed the questioned
information, or direct challenge as to the
accuracy or completeness of any entry
on the criminal history record to the
Assistant Director, Federal Bureau of
Investigation Identification Division,
Washington, DC 20537–9700 (as set
forth in 28 CFR part 16.30 through
16.34). In the latter case, the FBI
forwards the challenge to the agency
that submitted the data and requests
that agency to verify or correct the
challenged entry. Upon receipt of an
Official communication directly from
the agency that contributed the original
information, the FBI Identification
Division makes any changes necessary
in accordance with the information
supplied by that agency. The Licensee
must provide at least ten (10) days for
an individual to initiate an action
challenging the results of an FBI
identification and criminal history
records check after the record is made
available for his/her review. The
Licensee may make a final unescorted
access to certain radioactive material
determination based upon the criminal
history record only upon receipt of the
FBI’s ultimate confirmation or
correction of the record. Upon a final
adverse determination on unescorted
access to certain radioactive material,
the Licensee shall provide the
individual its documented basis for
denial. Unescorted access to certain
radioactive material shall not be granted

pursuant to this Order shall establish
and maintain a system of files and
procedures for protecting the record and
the personal information from
unauthorized disclosure.
2. The Licensee may not disclose the

to the information may re-disseminate
the information to any other individual
who does not have a need-to-know.

on an individual from a criminal history
record check may be transferred to
another Licensee if the Licensee holding

from the FBI, or a copy if the
individual’s file has been transferred,
for three (3) years after termination of
employment or determination of
unescorted access to certain radioactive
material (whether unescorted access
was approved or denied). After the
required three (3) year period, these
documents shall be destroyed by a
method that will prevent reconstruction
of the information in whole or in part.

AGENCY:
SUMMARY: On January 18, 2008, a public
notice was published in the Federal
Register on pages 3495–3496 requesting
public comments by February 15, 2008,
on whether each beneficiary country
exporting certain hand-loomed carpets
is taking steps to eliminate the worst
forms of child labor, including the use
of bonded child labor, in the production
of certain carpets imported under the
U.S. GSP program. The GSP
Subcommittee of the Trade Policy Staff
Committee has decided to extend the
deadline to March 14, 2008, for receipt
of public comments for this review.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: The
GSP Subcommittee of the TPSC, Office
of the United States Trade
Representative (USTR), 1724 F Street,
NW., Room F–220, Washington, DC
20508. The telephone number is (202)
395–6971.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 2004
Miscellaneous Trade and Technical
Corrections Act (HR 1047) (the ‘‘2004
Act’’), as approved by Congress,
authorized the President to designate
seven tariff lines relating to carpets
(5702.51.20 (now 5702.50.20),
5702.91.30, 5702.92.00 (now
5702.92.10), 5702.99.10 (now
5702.99.05), 5703.10.00 (now
5703.10.20), 5703.20.10, and 5703.30.00
(now 5703.30.20)) as eligible for dutyfree treatment under the GSP program.
These tariff lines cover certain handloomed carpets and other textile floor
coverings made of wool, cotton, fine
animal hair, or man-made textile
materials. Pursuant to the authorization
in the 2004 Act, the President
designated these seven tariff lines as
eligible for duty-free treatment under
the GSP program. The GSP
Subcommittee of the Trade Policy Staff
Committee (TPSC) is conducting a
triennial review of whether each
beneficiary country is taking steps to
eliminate the worst forms of child labor,
including the use of bonded child labor,
in the production of such carpets
imported under the U.S. GSP program.
If sufficient steps are not underway, the
TPSC will recommend to the President
changes in GSP coverage that would
