SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

    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. 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 May 6, 2008, the Chairman of CITA received a request from 
Sandler, Travis, & Rosenberg, P.A. on behalf of B*W*A for certain 100% 
cotton woven indigo-dyed fabrics, of the specifications detailed below. 
On May 7, 2008, CITA notified interested parties of, and posted on its 
website, the accepted petition and requested that interested entities 
provide, by May 20, 2008, a response advising of its objection to the 
request or its ability to supply the subject product, and rebuttals to 
responses by May 27, 2008. 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) 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 to the list in Annex 
3.25 CAFTA-DR Agreement.
    The subject fabrics are added to the list in Annex 3.25 CAFTA-DR 
Agreement in unrestricted quantities. A revised list has been published 
on-line.
