SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Authority: The CAFTA-DR Agreement; Section 203(o)(4) of the 
Dominican Republic-Central America-United States Free Trade Agreement

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

fiber is not available in commercial quantities in a timely manner in 
the territory of any Party. See Annex 3.25 of the CAFTA-DR Agreement; 
see also section 203(o)(4)(C) of the CAFTA-DR Implementation Act.
    The CAFTA-DR Implementation 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 CAFTA-DR Implementation 
Act for modifying the Annex 3.25 list. Pursuant to this authority, on 
September 15, 2008, CITA published modified procedures it would follow 
in considering requests to modify the Annex 3.25 list of products 
determined to be not commercially available in the territory of any 
Party to CAFTA-DR (Modifications to Procedures for Considering Requests 
Under the Commercial Availability Provision of the Dominican Republic-
Central America-United States Free Trade Agreement, 73 FR 53200) 
(``CITA's procedures'').
    On February 25, 2011, the Chairman of CITA received a request for a 
Commercial Availability determination (``Request'') from the Levy 
Group, Inc. for certain faux suede bonded to faux fur pile fabric. On 
February 27, 2011, in accordance with CITA's procedures, CITA notified 
interested parties of the Request, which was posted on the dedicated

(``Response'') must be submitted by March 11, 2011, and any Rebuttal 
Comments to a Response (``Rebuttal'') must be submitted by March 17,

    In accordance with section 203(o)(4)(C) of the CAFTA-DR 
Implementation Act, and Section 8(c)(2) of 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
