that is substantially transformed in the
United States into a new and different
article of commerce with a name,
character, or use distinct from that of
the article or articles from which it was
transformed. 48 CFR 25.003. Therefore,
the question presented in this final
determination is whether, as a result of
the operations performed in the United
States, the nonwoven cotton fabric is
substantially transformed into a product
of the United States.
The rules of origin for textile products
for purposes of the customs laws and
the administration of quantitative
restrictions are set forth in 19 U.S.C.
3592. These provisions are implemented
in the CBP Regulations at 19 CFR
102.21. The rules set forth in § 3592
apply to textile and apparel products,
unless otherwise provided for by
statute. The rule of origin in § 2518(4)(B)
is a rule of origin otherwise provided for
by statute, however, it is a general rule,
whereas § 3592 is specific to textile
products. Section 3592 has been
described as Congress’s expression of
substantial transformation as it relates to
textile products.
The rules of origin in 19 U.S.C. 3592
are implemented in the CBP Regulations
in 19 CFR 102.21. The imported product
is a nonwoven textile fabric. The
finished product, TegadermTM Ag Mesh
Dressings, is also a textile product as
defined by 19 CFR 102.21(b)(5).
TegadermTM Ag Mesh Dressings are
classified in subheading 3005.90,
HTSUS, which provides for ‘‘Wadding,
gauze, bandages and similar articles (for
example, dressings, adhesive plasters,
poultices), impregnated or coated with
pharmaceutical substances or put up in
forms or packings for retail sale for
medical, surgical, dental or veterinary
purposes’’ other than adhesive dressings
and other articles having an adhesive
layer.
As the finished dressing is produced
by processing in more than one country,
its origin cannot be determined by
application of § 102.21(c)(1), wholly
obtained or produced rule, and resort
must be made to § 102.21(c)(2). Section
102.21(c)(2) states that the origin of a
good is the country ‘‘in which each
foreign material incorporated in that
good underwent an applicable change in
tariff classification, and/or met any
other requirement, specified for the
good in paragraph (e) of [102.21].’’
Section 102.21(e) provides in pertinent
part:
(1) The following rules will apply for
purposes of determining the country of origin
of a textile or apparel product under
paragraph (c)(2) of this section:
3005.90 If the good contains
pharmaceutical substances, a change to
VerDate Aug<31>2005

subheading 3005.90 from any other heading;
* * *.
The material of foreign origin in this
case is the nonwoven cotton fabric
classifiable in heading 5603, HTSUS.
The processing in the United States
causes the foreign origin material to
make a tariff shift from heading 5603 to
subheading 3005.90, HTSUS. Therefore,
by application of the rules set forth in
19 CFR 102.21, the finished
TegadermTM Ag Mesh Dressings are
products of the United States for
purposes of government procurement.
HOLDING:
Based on the facts and analysis set
forth above, the finished TegadermTM
Ag Mesh Dressings are products of the
United States for the purpose of
government procurement.
Notice of this final determination will
be given in the Federal Register, as
required by 19 CFR § 177.29. Any partyat-interest other than the party which
requested this final determination may
request, pursuant to 19 CFR 177.31, that
CBP reexamine the matter anew and
issue a new final determination.
Pursuant to 19 CFR 177.30, any partyat-interest may, within 30 days after
publication of the Federal Register
notice referenced above, seek judicial
review of this final determination before
the Court of International Trade.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) regulations at 5 CFR 1320, which
implement the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–13), require
that interested members of the public
and affected agencies have an
opportunity to comment on information
collection and recordkeeping activities
(see 5 CFR 1320.8(d)). This notice
identifies an information collection
activity that the Office of Conservation,
Partnerships & Management Policy will
submit to OMB for approval for the
Department and its bureaus to collect
information from proposed donors
relative to their relationship(s) with the
Department. The Department and its
individual bureaus all have gift
acceptance authority. In support of the
variety of donation authorities in the
Department and increasing numbers of
donations, it is the policy of the
Department to ask those proposing to
donate gifts valued at $25,000 or more
to provide information regarding their
relationship with the Department. The
purpose of this policy is to ensure that
the acceptance of a gift does not create
legal or ethical issues for the
Department, its bureaus, or potential
donors. The information will be
gathered through the use of a new form.
If this information were not collected
from the prospective donor, the
Department would have to collect the
information. The information is
scattered throughout the Department.
With eight major bureaus, 2500
locations and 70,000 employees, it is
not possible to collect the information
about a particular donor in a timely
manner to respond to a proposed
donation. Having the donor certify his
interactions with the Department gives
the staff reviewing the proposed
donation basic information.
