Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 152 / Wednesday, August 6, 2008 / Notices
of the USAFTA Implementation Act.
See Section 203(o)(2)(B)(i) of the
USAFTA Implementation Act.
Executive Order 11651 established CITA
to supervise the implementation of
textile trade agreements and authorizes
the Chairman of CITA to take actions or
recommend that the United States take
actions necessary to implement textile
trade agreements. 37 FR 4699 (March 4,
1972).
On February 1, 2008, the Chairman of
CITA received a request from Gentry
Mills, alleging that certain viscose rayon
fiber, classified in HSTUS subheading
5504.10.0000, 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, classified under HTSUS
subheading 5510.90.2000 should be
modified to allow the use of non-U.S.
and non-Australian viscose rayon fiber.
On February 26, 2008, CITA published
in the Federal Register a request for
public comment on the proposed
modification (73 FR 10227). No public
comments were received alleging that
viscose rayon fiber could be supplied in
commercial quantities in a timely
manner. Subsequently, the United
States requested consultations with the
Government of Australia on Gentry
Mills’ request. In those consultations,
the Government of Australia proposed
expanding the scope of the modification
of the rule of origin to all yarns under
HTSUS subheading 5510.90 to allow the
use of non-U.S. and non-Australian
viscose rayon fiber.
CITA is soliciting public comments
regarding this proposal to expand the
scope of the rule of origin modification
to all yarns in HTSUS subheading
5510.90 to allow the use of non-U.S. and
non-Australian viscose rayon fiber.
Comments must be received no later
than September 5, 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.
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.
Persons submitting comments on a

locations, alternative locations and
nature of shoreline development, and no
action.
Issues to be addressed in the EIS

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Setting: The White River and its
tributaries drain a total area of 27,765
square miles (10,620 square miles in
Missouri and 17,145 square miles in
Arkansas). The White River basin
originates in the Boston Mountains of
northwest Arkansas (AR), near the city
of Fayetteville. Three forks, the White
River, the Middle Fork, and the West
Fork, come together in Washington
County, AR, to form the mainstem of the
White River. The White River is first
impounded as Lake Sequoyah, a 500acre impoundment at the junction of the
Middle Fork and the White River, near
Fayetteville. The White River flows
south out of Lake Sequoyah and joins
the West Fork before entering Beaver
Lake just west of Eureka Springs, AR.
The White flows out of Beaver Dam (the
first in a series of four hydroelectric
dams) northward into Missouri (MO)
near the town of Eagle Rock, Barry
County. The White then flows eastward
where it has been impounded as Table
Rock Lake, just below its confluence
with the James River near Branson. The
White River below Table Rock Lake is
again impounded by Powersite Dam
near Forsyth, MO, and forms Lake
Taneycomo. The river flow takes a
southerly turn and flows back into
Arkansas where it has again been
impounded by Bull Shoals Dam near
Cotter, Marion County. The White River
flows towards the southeast from Bull
Shoals Dam. The White river exits the
