Act ‘‘(CAFTA-DR Act)’’; the Statement of
Administrative Action accompanying the
CAFTA-DR Act; Presidential Proclamations
7987 (February 28, 2006) and 7996 (March
31, 2006).

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 CAFTADR 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 the CAFTA-DR Act for
modifying the Annex 3.25 list. On
March 21, 2007, CITA published Final
Procedures (‘‘procedures’’) it would
follow in considering Requests to
modify the Annex 3.25 list (72 FR
13256).
On June 18, 2008, The Chairman of
CITA received eight commercial
availability Requests from the
Government of the Dominican Republic
(‘‘GDR’’) for various woven fabrics, of
the specifications detailed below. On
June 19, 2008, in accordance with
CITA’s procedures, CITA notified
interested parties of, and posted on its
website, the accepted Requests and
asked that interested entities provide, by
July 2, 2008, a Response with an Offer
to Supply (‘‘Responses’’) advising of its
objection to the Request and its ability
to supply the subject product. CITA also
explained that Rebuttals to Responses
were due to CITA by July 9, 2008.
On July 2, 2008, a CAFTA-DR
supplier, Monte Textil S.A. (‘‘Monte’’),
submitted Responses to each of the eight
Requests, advising CITA of its
objections to the Requests and
explaining its ability to supply each of
the eight fabrics as specified in
commercial quantities in a timely
manner. In its Responses to the GDR’s
Requests, Monte stated its ability to
supply the subject fabrics, and provided
some detailed information regarding its
production capability.
In its Rebuttals to Monte’s Responses,
the GDR argued that Monte had failed
to demonstrate that it has the capability
to make the fabrics in question and that

Frm 00013
Fmt 4703

48199
in its Responses the company provided
only a ‘‘broad recitation of its general
production capabilities.’’
In accordance with section 203(o)(4)
of the CAFTA-DR Act, Article 3.25 of
the CAFTA-DR Agreement, and section
8(c)(4) of CITA’s procedures, because
there was insufficient information to
make a determination within 30 days,
CITA extended the period of making a
determination by 14 U.S. business days.
On July 21, 2008, in accordance with
section 8(c)(4)(i) of CITA’s final
procedures, CITA held a public meeting
with representatives from the GDR,
Grupo M, a Dominican apparel
producer, and Monte, to allow the
interested entities to provide additional
evidence to support their claims and
information previously submitted to
CITA.
Section 203(o)(4)(C)(ii) of the CAFTADR Act provides that after receiving a
Request, a determination will be made
as to whether the subject product is
available in commercial quantities in a
timely manner in the CAFTA-DR
countries. In the instant case, the
information on the record clearly
indicates that the GDR, and specifically
a Dominican manufacturer, Grupo M,
made significant efforts to source the
fabrics in the CAFTA-DR countries,
including from Monte, and that Monte
has not demonstrated that it can supply
the specified fabrics in a timely manner.
Therefore, in accordance with section
203(o) of the CAFTA-DR Act, and
CITA’s procedures, as CITA has
determined that the subject products are
not available in commercial quantities
in a timely manner, CITA has
determined to add the specified fabrics
to the list in Annex 3.25 of the CAFTADR 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.
CITA notes that, in accordance with
section 203(o)(4) of the CAFTA-DR Act,
Article 3.25 of the CAFTA-DR
Agreement, and section 9 of CITA’s
procedures, an interested entity may
request CITA to remove or restrict the
quantity of a product listed in Annex
3.25 six months after the product has
been added. If CITA determines that the
product is available in commercial
quantities in a timely manner in the
CAFTA-DR countries, CITA will publish
in the Federal Register a notice of its
determination of removal or restriction.
Accordingly, the product will be
removed from the Annex 3.25 list, or its
quantity restricted, six months after the
publication date of CITA’s
determination.

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
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 CAFTA-DR 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 the CAFTA-DR Act for modifying the
Annex 3.25 list. On March 21, 2007, CITA published Final Procedures
(``procedures'') it would follow in considering Requests to modify the
Annex 3.25 list (72 FR 13256).
On June 18, 2008, The Chairman of CITA received eight commercial
availability Requests from the Government of the Dominican Republic
(``GDR'') for various woven fabrics, of the specifications detailed
below. On June 19, 2008, in accordance with CITA's procedures, CITA
notified interested parties of, and posted on its website, the accepted
Requests and asked that interested entities provide, by July 2, 2008, a
Response with an Offer to Supply (``Responses'') advising of its
objection to the Request and its ability to supply the subject product.
CITA also explained that Rebuttals to Responses were due to CITA by
July 9, 2008.
On July 2, 2008, a CAFTA-DR supplier, Monte Textil S.A.
(``Monte''), submitted Responses to each of the eight Requests,
advising CITA of its objections to the Requests and explaining its
ability to supply each of the eight fabrics as specified in commercial
quantities in a timely manner. In its Responses to the GDR's Requests,
Monte stated its ability to supply the subject fabrics, and provided
some detailed information regarding its production capability.
In its Rebuttals to Monte's Responses, the GDR argued that Monte
had failed to demonstrate that it has the capability to make the
fabrics in question and that in its Responses the company provided only
a ``broad recitation of its general production capabilities.''
In accordance with section 203(o)(4) of the CAFTA-DR Act, Article
3.25 of the CAFTA-DR Agreement, and section 8(c)(4) of CITA's
procedures, because there was insufficient information to make a
determination within 30 days, CITA extended the period of making a
determination by 14 U.S. business days.
On July 21, 2008, in accordance with section 8(c)(4)(i) of CITA's
final procedures, CITA held a public meeting with representatives from
the GDR, Grupo M, a Dominican apparel producer, and Monte, to allow the
interested entities to provide additional evidence to support their
claims and information previously submitted to CITA.
Section 203(o)(4)(C)(ii) of the CAFTA-DR Act provides that after
receiving a Request, a determination will be made as to whether the
subject product is available in commercial quantities in a timely
manner in the CAFTA-DR countries. In the instant case, the information
on the record clearly indicates that the GDR, and specifically a
Dominican manufacturer, Grupo M, made significant efforts to source the
fabrics in the CAFTA-DR countries, including from Monte, and that Monte
has not demonstrated that it can supply the specified fabrics in a
timely manner. Therefore, in accordance with section 203(o) of the
CAFTA-DR Act, and CITA's procedures, as CITA has determined that the
subject products are not available in commercial quantities in a timely
manner, 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.
CITA notes that, in accordance with section 203(o)(4) of the CAFTA-
DR Act, Article 3.25 of the CAFTA-DR Agreement, and section 9 of CITA's
procedures, an interested entity may request CITA to remove or restrict
the quantity of a product listed in Annex 3.25 six months after the
product has been added. If CITA determines that the product is
available in commercial quantities in a timely manner in the CAFTA-DR
countries, CITA will publish in the Federal Register a notice of its
determination of removal or restriction. Accordingly, the product will
be removed from the Annex 3.25 list, or its quantity restricted, six
months after the publication date of CITA's determination.
