Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 178 / Thursday, September 13, 2012 / Notices
Needs and Uses: Title II, Section
203(o) of the United States-Colombia
Trade Promotion Agreement
Implementation Act (the ‘‘Act’’) [Pub. L.
112–42] implements the commercial
availability provision provided for in
Article 3.3 of the United StatesColombia Trade Promotion Agreement
(the ‘‘Agreement’’). The Agreement
entered into force on May 15, 2012.
Subject to the rules of origin in Annex
4.1 of the Agreement, and pursuant to
the textile provisions of the Agreement,
a fabric, yarn, or fiber produced in
Colombia or the United States and
traded between the two countries is
entitled to duty-free tariff treatment.
Annex 3–B of the Agreement also lists
specific fabrics, yarns, and fibers that
the two countries agreed are not
available in commercial quantities in a
timely manner from producers in
Colombia or the United States. The
fabrics listed are commercially
unavailable fabrics, yarns, and fibers,
which are also entitled to duty-free
treatment despite not being produced in
Colombia or the United States.
The list of commercially unavailable
fabrics, yarns, and fibers may be
changed pursuant to the commercial
availability provision in Chapter 3,
Article 3.3, Paragraphs 5–7 of the
Agreement. Under this provision,
interested entities from Colombia or the
United States have the right to request
that a specific fabric, yarn, or fiber be
added to, or removed from, the list of
commercially unavailable fabrics, yarns,
and fibers in Annex 3–B of the
Agreement.
Chapter 3, Article 3.3, paragraph 7 of
the Agreement requires that the
President ‘‘promptly’’ publish
procedures for parties to exercise the
right to make these requests. Section
203(o)(4) of the Act authorizes the
President to establish procedures to
modify the list of fabrics, yarns, or fibers
not available in commercial quantities
in a timely manner in either the United
States or Colombia as set out in Annex
3–B of the Agreement. The President
delegated the responsibility for
publishing the procedures and
administering commercial availability
requests to the Committee for the
Implementation of Textile Agreements
(‘‘CITA’’), which issues procedures and
acts on requests through the U.S.
Department of Commerce, Office of
Textiles and Apparel (‘‘OTEXA’’) (See
Proclamation No. 8818, 77 FR 29519,
May 18, 2012).
The intent of the Commercial
Availability Procedures is to foster the
use of U.S. and regional products by
implementing procedures that allow
products to be placed on or removed
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 226001
from a product list, on a timely basis,
and in a manner that is consistent with
normal business practice. The
procedures are intended to facilitate the
transmission of requests; allow the
market to indicate the availability of the
supply of products that are the subject
of requests; make available promptly, to
interested entities and the public,
information regarding the requests for
products and offers received for those
products; ensure wide participation by
interested entities and parties; allow for
careful review and consideration of
information provided to substantiate
requests and responses; and provide
timely public dissemination of
information used by CITA in making
commercial availability determinations.
CITA must collect certain information
about fabric, yarn, or fiber technical
specifications and the production
capabilities of Colombian and U.S.
textile producers to determine whether
certain fabrics, yarns, or fibers are
available in commercial quantities in a
timely manner in the United States or
Colombia, subject to Section 203(o) of
the Act.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations.
Frequency: On occasion.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
