Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 34 / Friday, February 18, 2011 / Notices
Government of Peru and will consult
with said party upon its request.
If a determination under this section
is affirmative, the Committee may
provide import tariff relief to a U.S.
industry to the extent necessary to
remedy or prevent the serious damage
or actual threat thereof and to facilitate
adjustment by the domestic industry to
import competition. Such relief may
consist of an increase in duties to the
lower of: (1) The NTR/MFN duty rate in
place for the textile or apparel article at
the time the relief is granted; or (2) the
NTR/MFN duty rate for that article on
the day before the Agreement enters into
force.
The import tariff relief is effective
beginning on the date that the
Committee’s affirmative determination
is published in the Federal Register.
The maximum period of import tariff
relief shall be three years. However, if
the initial period for import relief is less
than three years, the Committee may
extend the period of import relief to the
maximum three-year period if the
Committee determines that the
continuation is necessary to remedy or
prevent serious damage or actual threat
thereof by the domestic industry to
import competition, and that the
domestic industry is, in fact, making a
positive adjustment to import
competition. Import tariff relief may not
be imposed for an aggregate period
greater than three years. Import tariff
relief may not be applied to the same
article at the same time under these
procedures if relief previously has been
granted with respect to that article
under: (1) These provisions; (2) Subtitle
A to Title III of the Act; or (3) Chapter
1 of Title II of the Trade Act of 1974.
Authority to provide import tariff
relief for a textile or apparel article from
Peru that is being imported into the
United States in such increased
quantities, in absolute terms or relative
to the domestic market for that article,
and under such conditions as to cause
serious damage or actual threat thereof
to a U.S. industry producing a like or
directly competitive article, will expire
five years after the date on which the
Agreement enters into force.
4. Self Initiation. The Committee may,
on its own initiative, consider whether
imports of a textile or apparel article
from Peru are being imported into the
United States in such increased
quantities, in absolute terms or relative
to the domestic market for that article,
and under such conditions as to cause
serious damage or actual threat thereof
to a U.S. industry producing a like or
directly competitive article. In such
considerations, the Committee will
follow procedures consistent with those

set forth in Section 2 of this notice,
including causing to be published in the
Federal Register a notice seeking public
comment regarding the action it is
considering.
5. Record Keeping and Business
Confidential Information. OTEXA will
maintain an official record for each
request on behalf of the Committee. The
official record will include all factual
information, written argument, or other
material developed by, presented to, or
obtained by OTEXA regarding the
request, as well as other material
provided to the Department of
Commerce by other government
agencies for inclusion in the official
record. The official record will include
Committee memoranda pertaining to the
request, memoranda of Committee
meetings, meetings between OTEXA
staff and the public, determinations, and
notices published in the Federal
Register. The official record will contain
material which is public, business
confidential, privileged, and classified,
but will not include pre-decisional
inter-agency or intra-agency
communications. If the Committee
decides it is appropriate to consider
materials submitted in an untimely
manner, such materials will be
maintained in the official record.
Otherwise, such material will be
returned to the submitter and will not
be maintained as part of the official
record. OTEXA will make the official
record public except for business
confidential information, privileged
information, classified information, and
other information the disclosure of
which is prohibited by U.S. law. The
public record will be available to the
public for inspection and copying in a
public reading room located in the
Department of Commerce, Trade
Information Center.
Information designated by the
submitter as business confidential will
normally be considered to be business
confidential unless it is publicly
available. The Committee will protect
from disclosure any business
confidential information that is marked
‘‘business confidential’’ to the full extent
permitted by law. To the extent that
business confidential information is
provided, two copies of a nonconfidential version must also be
provided, in which business
confidential information is summarized
or, if necessary, deleted. The Committee
will make available to the public nonconfidential versions of the request that
is being considered, non-confidential
versions of any public comments
received with respect to a request, and,
in the event consultations are requested,
the statement of the reasons and
