Final Withdrawal of Regulations
Pertaining to Imports of Cotton Woven
Fabric and Short Supply Procedures
Import Administration,
International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
Import Administration (‘‘IA’’)
issues this final rule withdrawing
regulations pertaining to imports of
cotton woven fabric and short supply
procedures. Both sets of regulations are
obsolete: The tariff quota on cotton
woven fabric expired in 2009, and the
short supply voluntary restraints have
not affected U.S. trade for over 19 years.
The removal of these regulations will
simplify research into the trade laws
and eliminate confusion for both United
States importers and foreign exporters.
DATES: Effective Date: This Final
Withdrawal of Regulations will become
effective June 25, 2012.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Robert Goodyear, Director, Office of
Operations Support, Import
Administration, U.S. Department of
Commerce, at 202–482–5194 or Scott

Chief Counsel for Import
Administration, U.S. Department of
Commerce, at (202) 482–6292.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
Background
President Barack Obama issued
Executive Order 13563 on January 18,
2011, titled ‘‘Improving Regulation and
Regulatory Review.’’ The Executive
Order directed all agencies, to ‘‘develop
and submit’’ to the Office of Information
and Regulatory Affairs plans under
which agencies, ‘‘consistent with law
and [their] resources and regulatory
priorities,’’ will ‘‘periodically review
[their] existing significant regulations to
determine whether any such regulations
should be modified, streamlined,
expanded or repealed so as to make the
agency’s regulatory program more
effective or less burdensome in
achieving the regulatory objectives.’’
The Executive Order states that one of
the purposes of implementing a program
to perform a ‘‘retrospective analysis of
existing rules’’ is to withdraw
PO 00000
Frm 00016
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
regulations that are ‘‘outmoded,
ineffective, insufficient, or excessively
burdensome.’’
In August 2011, the U.S. Department
of Commerce issued its Plan for
Retrospective Analysis of Existing
Rules. < https://open.commerce.gov/
news/2011/08/23/commerce-planretrospective-analysis-existing-rules>.
Within the Department’s Plan,
International Trade Administration
(ITA) indicated that IA, a subagency of
ITA, intended to withdraw two groups
of regulations which it determined are
obsolete. On February 3, 2012, IA
published a notice proposing the
withdrawal of those two groups of
regulations and requested public
comment. See Proposed Withdrawal of
Regulations Pertaining to Imports of
Cotton Woven Fabric and Short Supply
Procedures: Opportunity for Public
Comment, 77 FR 5440 (Feb. 3, 2012). No
comments were received within the
time set forth in the notice.
The regulatory provisions titled
‘‘Imports of Cotton Woven Fabric,’’
codified at 15 CFR 336.1–336.5, are no
longer relevant. They were implemented
pursuant to the Tax Relief and Health
Care Act of 2006, at Division C, Title IV,
Section 406(b)(1) (Pub. L. 109–432)
(codified in the Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States, per 19
U.S.C. 3004) (2006). The Tax Relief and
Health Care Act of 2006 set forth tariff
rate quotas for cotton woven fabric and
the regulatory provisions at issue
provide for the administration of
allocations of those quotas by IA. The
interim regulations were issued in 2007,
and then adopted without change, with
an effective date of July 10, 2008.
Imports of Certain Cotton Shirting
Fabric: Implementation of Tariff Rate
Quota Established Under the Tax Relief
and Health Care Act of 2006 (Interim
Final Rule), 72 FR 40235 (July 24, 2007);
Imports of Certain Cotton Shirting
Fabric: Implementation of Tariff Rate
Quota Established Under the Tax Relief
and Health Care Act of 2006 (Final
Rule), 73 FR 39585 (July 10, 2008).
However, the tariff rate quota on cotton
woven fabric expired on December 31,
2009. Accordingly, these regulations are
obsolete and are therefore withdrawn.
The regulations pertaining to ‘‘Short
Supply Procedures,’’ which are codified
at 19 CFR 357.101–111, are also no
longer relevant. These regulations were
issued pursuant to Section 4(b) of the
Steel Trade Liberalization Program
Implementation Act (Pub. L. 101–221)
(1989). Short Supply Procedures
(Interim—Final Rules), 55 FR 1348 (Jan.
12, 1990). They pertain to voluntary
restraints on certain steel imports from
October 1, 1989 through March 31,

Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 102 / Friday, May 25, 2012 / Rules and Regulations

short supply determinations under these
regulations. IA has determined to
withdraw these regulations because they
are obsolete, as the associated import
restraints have not affected U.S. trade
for over 19 years.
Classification
Executive Order 12866
It has been determined that this final
rule is not significant for purposes of
Executive Order 12866.
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
This final rule contains no new
collection of information subject to the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 44
U.S.C. Chapter 35.
Executive Order 13132
This final rule does not contain
policies with federalism implications as
that term is defined in section 1(a) of
Executive Order 13132, dated August 4,
1999 (64 FR 43255) (August 10, 1999).

Environmental Impact
ITA has determined pursuant to 21
CFR 25.30 that this action is of a type
that does not individually or
cumulatively have a significant effect on
the human environment. Therefore,
neither an environmental assessment
nor an environmental impact statement
is required.
Regulatory Flexibility Act
Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act
(as amended by the Small Business
Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act
(SBREFA) of 1996; 5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.),
whenever a Federal agency is required
to publish a notice of rulemaking for
any proposed or final rule, it must
prepare, and make available for public
comment, a regulatory flexibility
analysis that describes the effect of the
rule on small entities (i.e., small
businesses, small organizations, and
small government jurisdictions).
However, no regulatory flexibility
analysis is required if the head of an
agency certifies that the rule will not
have a significant economic impact on
a substantial number of small entities.
SBREFA amended the Regulatory
Flexibility Act to require Federal
agencies to provide a statement of the
factual basis for certifying that a rule
will not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small
entities. The Department of Commerce
Chief Counsel for Regulation certified at
the proposed rule stage that this rule
will have no impact on small entities.
This rule simply makes a technical
correction by withdrawing obsolete
regulations. No comments were received

Regulatory Flexibility Analysis is
required and none has been prepared.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Regulatory Information
On March 13, 2012, we published a
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
entitled Safety Zone, Temporary Change
for Recurring Fireworks Display within
the Fifth Coast Guard District, Pamlico
River and Tar River; Washington, NC in
the Federal Register (77 FR 14703). We
received no comments on the proposed
rule. No public meeting was requested,
and none was held.
Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast
Guard finds that good cause exists for
making this rule effective less than 30
days after publication in the Federal
Register. Given the timing of the event,
it would be impracticable to allow 30
days after publication before enforcing
this safety zone.
Background and Purpose
Fireworks display events are

navigable waters within the boundary of

``outmoded, ineffective, insufficient, or excessively burdensome.''
In August 2011, the U.S. Department of Commerce issued its Plan for
Retrospective Analysis of Existing Rules. < https://open.commerce.gov/news/2011/08/23/commerce-plan-retrospective-analysis-existing-rules>.
Within the Department's Plan, International Trade Administration (ITA)
indicated that IA, a subagency of ITA, intended to withdraw two groups
of regulations which it determined are obsolete. On February 3, 2012,
IA published a notice proposing the withdrawal of those two groups of
regulations and requested public comment. See Proposed Withdrawal of
Regulations Pertaining to Imports of Cotton Woven Fabric and Short
Supply Procedures: Opportunity for Public Comment, 77 FR 5440 (Feb. 3,
2012). No comments were received within the time set forth in the
notice.
The regulatory provisions titled ``Imports of Cotton Woven
Fabric,'' codified at 15 CFR 336.1-336.5, are no longer relevant. They
were implemented pursuant to the Tax Relief and Health Care Act of
2006, at Division C, Title IV, Section 406(b)(1) (Pub. L. 109-432)
(codified in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States, per
19 U.S.C. 3004) (2006). The Tax Relief and Health Care Act of 2006 set
forth tariff rate quotas for cotton woven fabric and the regulatory
provisions at issue provide for the administration of allocations of
those quotas by IA. The interim regulations were issued in 2007, and
then adopted without change, with an effective date of July 10, 2008.
Imports of Certain Cotton Shirting Fabric: Implementation of Tariff
Rate Quota Established Under the Tax Relief and Health Care Act of 2006
(Interim Final Rule), 72 FR 40235 (July 24, 2007); Imports of Certain
Cotton Shirting Fabric: Implementation of Tariff Rate Quota Established
Under the Tax Relief and Health Care Act of 2006 (Final Rule), 73 FR
39585 (July 10, 2008). However, the tariff rate quota on cotton woven
fabric expired on December 31, 2009. Accordingly, these regulations are
obsolete and are therefore withdrawn.
The regulations pertaining to ``Short Supply Procedures,'' which
are codified at 19 CFR 357.101-111, are also no longer relevant. These
regulations were issued pursuant to Section 4(b) of the Steel Trade
Liberalization Program Implementation Act (Pub. L. 101-221) (1989).
Short Supply Procedures (Interim--Final Rules), 55 FR 1348 (Jan. 12,
1990). They pertain to voluntary restraints on certain steel imports
from October 1, 1989 through March 31,
[[Page 31183]]
1992, and IA was tasked with making short supply determinations under
these regulations. IA has determined to withdraw these regulations
because they are obsolete, as the associated import restraints have not
affected U.S. trade for over 19 years.
Classification
Executive Order 12866
It has been determined that this final rule is not significant for
purposes of Executive Order 12866.
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
This final rule contains no new collection of information subject
to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C. Chapter 35.
Executive Order 13132
This final rule does not contain policies with federalism
implications as that term is defined in section 1(a) of Executive Order
13132, dated August 4, 1999 (64 FR 43255) (August 10, 1999).
Environmental Impact
ITA has determined pursuant to 21 CFR 25.30 that this action is of
a type that does not individually or cumulatively have a significant
effect on the human environment. Therefore, neither an environmental
assessment nor an environmental impact statement is required.
Regulatory Flexibility Act
Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (as amended by the Small
Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act (SBREFA) of 1996; 5 U.S.C.
601 et seq.), whenever a Federal agency is required to publish a notice
of rulemaking for any proposed or final rule, it must prepare, and make
available for public comment, a regulatory flexibility analysis that
describes the effect of the rule on small entities (i.e., small
businesses, small organizations, and small government jurisdictions).
However, no regulatory flexibility analysis is required if the head of
an agency certifies that the rule will not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities. SBREFA amended the
Regulatory Flexibility Act to require Federal agencies to provide a
statement of the factual basis for certifying that a rule will not have
a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small
entities. The Department of Commerce Chief Counsel for Regulation
certified at the proposed rule stage that this rule will have no impact
on small entities. This rule simply makes a technical correction by
withdrawing obsolete regulations. No comments were received on that
certification. Accordingly, no Regulatory Flexibility Analysis is
required and none has been prepared.
