Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 6 / Friday, January 9, 2009 / Notices
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
September 15, 2008, CITA published
modified procedures it would follow in
considering requests to modify the
Annex 3.25 list (73 FR 53200)
(‘‘Procedures’’).
On December 1, 2008, the Chairman
of CITA received a Request for a
commercial availability determination
(‘‘Request’’) under the CAFTA-DR from
Sorini Samet & Associates, LLC, on
behalf of Hansoll Textile, Ltd., for
certain piece-dyed or yarn-dyed raschel
knit open work crepe fabric. On
December 2, 2008, in accordance with
CITA’s Procedures, CITA notified
interested parties of the Request and
posted the Request on the dedicated
website for CAFTA-DR Commercial
Availability proceedings. In its
notification, CITA advised that any
Response with an Offer to Supply
(‘‘Response’’) must be submitted by
December 15, 2008, and any Rebuttal be
submitted by December 19, 2008. No
interested entity submitted a Response
advising CITA of its objection to the
Request and its ability to supply the
subject product.
In accordance with section
203(o)(4)(C) of the CAFTA-DR Act, and
CITA’s Procedures, as no interested
entity submitted a Response objecting to
the Request and demonstrating its
ability to supply the subject product,
CITA has determined to add the
specified fabric to the list in Annex 3.25
of the CAFTA-DR Agreement.
The subject product has been added
to the list in Annex 3.25 of the CAFTADR Agreement in unrestricted
quantities. A revised list has been
posted on the dedicated website for
CAFTA-DR Commercial Availability
proceedings.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The South
Florida Water Management District
(SFWMD) proposes to construct and
operate stormwater treatment areas
(STAs) on Compartments B and C of the
Everglades Agricultural Area in Palm
Beach and Hendry Counties, Florida.
Compartment B STA will consist of
approximately 6,817 acres of effective
treatment area, and will be operated in
close coordination with the existing
STA 2 to assist in the phosphorus
reduction capability of this STA, which
discharges into Water Conservation
Area (WCA) 2A. The Compartment C
STA will consist of approximately 4,850
acres of effective treatment area, and
will be operated in close coordination
with existing STA 5 and STA 6 to assist
in the phosphorus reduction capability
of these two STAs, which discharge into
WCA 3A and Rotenberger Wildlife
Management Area. As proposed, the
project would impact approximately
7,699 acres and 5,918 acres of
jurisdictional wetlands and other waters
of the United States associated with the

Clean Water Act from the USACE and
land use approval from Department of
Interior for construction of
Compartments B and C which were
purchased with federal funds for
Everglades restoration. This Final
Environmental Impact Statement
evaluates the environmental effects of 5
alternatives including the SFWMD’s
preferred alternative described above, 2
additional alternatives that utilize
Compartments B and C but with a
different operational regime for
Compartment B, an alternative that
includes other lands for construction of
an STA to assist existing STA 1W and
STA 1E, and the no action alternative.
