The
Olympic Coast National Marine
Sanctuary (OCNMS) Advisory Council
seats are for a three-year term and have
a designated primary member and an
alternate. The OCNMS Advisory
Council meets bi-monthly in public
sessions in communities in and around
Olympic Coast National Marine
Sanctuary.
The OCNMS Advisory Council was
established in December 1998 to assure
continued public participation in the
management of the sanctuary. Serving
in a volunteer capacity, the advisory
council’s 15 voting members represent a
variety of local user groups, as well as
the general public. In addition, six
Federal government agencies and the
state Marine Resource Committee
representatives serve as non-voting, ex
officio members. Since its
establishment, the advisory council has
played a vital role in advising OCNMS
and NOAA on critical issues. In
addition to providing advice on
management issues facing the
Sanctuary, council members serve as a
communication bridge between
constituents and OCNMS staff.

beneficiary countries. Section
204(b)(3)(B)(iii) of the amended ATPA
provides duty- and quota-free treatment
for certain apparel articles assembled in
ATPDEA beneficiary countries from
regional fabric and components, subject
to quantitative limitation. More
specifically, this provision applies to
apparel articles sewn or otherwise
assembled in one or more ATPDEA
beneficiary countries from fabrics or
from fabric components formed or from
components knit-to-shape, in one or
more ATPDEA beneficiary countries,
from yarns wholly formed in the United
States or one or more ATPDEA
beneficiary countries (including fabrics
not formed from yarns, if such fabrics
are classifiable under heading 5602 and
5603 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule
(HTS) and are formed in one or more
ATPDEA beneficiary countries). Such
apparel articles may also contain certain
other eligible fabrics, fabric
components, or components knit-toshape.
Title VII of the Tax Relief and Health
Care Act (TRHCA) of 2006, Pub L. No.
107–432, extended the expiration of the
ATPA to June 30, 2007. See Section
7002(a) of the TRHCA 2006. H.R. 1830,
110th Cong. (2007), further extended the
expiration of the ATPA to February 29,
2008. H.R. 5264, 110th Cong. (2008),

ATPA to December 31, 2010. H.R 6517,
111th Cong. (2010), further extended the
expiration of the ATPA to February 12,
2011. H.R 3078, 112th Cong. (2011),
further extended the expiration of the
ATPA to July 31, 2013.
For the period beginning on October
1, 2012 and extending through July 31,
2013, preferential tariff treatment is
limited under the regional fabric
provision to imports of qualifying
apparel articles in an amount not to
exceed 5 percent of the aggregate square
meter equivalents of all apparel articles
imported into the United States in the
preceding 12-month period for which
data are available. The 12-month period
for which data are available is the 12month period that ended July 31, 2012.
This quantity is calculated using the
aggregate square meter equivalents of all
apparel articles imported into the
United States, derived from the set of
Harmonized System lines listed in the
Annex to the World Trade Organization
Agreement on Textiles and Clothing
(ATC), and the conversion factors for

Proclamation 7616 (published in the
Federal Register on November 5, 2002,

CITA to publish in the Federal Register

allowed during each period.
The purpose of this notice is to extend
the period of the quantitative limitation
for preferential tariff treatment under
the regional fabric provision for imports
of qualifying apparel articles from
Ecuador through July 31, 2013. For the
period beginning on October 1, 2012
and extending through July 31, 2013,
the aggregate quantity of imports

the regional fabric provision is
1,239,899,947 square meters equivalent.
Apparel articles entered in excess of this
quantity will be subject to otherwise
applicable tariffs.

Authority: Section 3103 of the Trade Act of 2002, Pub. L. 107-

(November 5, 2002); Executive Order 13277, 67 FR 70305 (November 19,
2002); and the Office of the United States Trade Representative's
Notice of Authority and Further Assignment of Functions, 67 FR 71606
(November 25, 2002).
Section 3103 of the Trade Act of 2002 amended the Andean Trade
Preference Act (ATPA) to provide for duty and quota-free treatment for
certain textile and apparel articles imported from designated Andean
Trade Promotion and Drug Eradication Act (ATPDEA) beneficiary
countries. Section 204(b)(3)(B)(iii) of the amended ATPA provides duty-
and quota-free treatment for certain apparel articles assembled in
ATPDEA beneficiary countries from regional fabric and components,
subject to quantitative limitation. More specifically, this provision
applies to apparel articles sewn or otherwise assembled in one or more
ATPDEA beneficiary countries from fabrics or from fabric components
formed or from components knit-to-shape, in one or more ATPDEA
beneficiary countries, from yarns wholly formed in the United States or
one or more ATPDEA beneficiary countries (including fabrics not formed
from yarns, if such fabrics are classifiable under heading 5602 and
5603 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) and are formed in one or
more ATPDEA beneficiary countries). Such apparel articles may also
contain certain other eligible fabrics, fabric components, or
components knit-to-shape.
Title VII of the Tax Relief and Health Care Act (TRHCA) of 2006,
Pub L. No. 107-432, extended the expiration of the ATPA to June 30,
2007. See Section 7002(a) of the TRHCA 2006. H.R. 1830, 110th Cong.
(2007), further extended the expiration of the ATPA to February 29,
2008. H.R. 5264, 110th Cong. (2008), further extended the expiration of
the ATPA to December 31, 2008. H.R. 7222, 110th Cong. (2008), further
extended the expiration of the ATPA to December 31, 2009. H.R 4284,
111th Cong. (2009), further extended the expiration of the ATPA to
December 31, 2010. H.R 6517, 111th Cong. (2010), further extended the
expiration of the ATPA to February 12, 2011. H.R 3078, 112th Cong.
(2011), further extended the expiration of the ATPA to July 31, 2013.
For the period beginning on October 1, 2012 and extending through
July 31, 2013, preferential tariff treatment is limited under the
regional fabric provision to imports of qualifying apparel articles in
an amount not to exceed 5 percent of the aggregate square meter
equivalents of all apparel articles imported into the United States in
the preceding 12-month period for which data are available. The 12-
month period for which data are available is the 12-month period that
ended July 31, 2012. This quantity is calculated using the aggregate
square meter equivalents of all apparel articles imported into the
United States, derived from the set of Harmonized System lines listed
in the Annex to the World Trade Organization Agreement on Textiles and
Clothing (ATC), and the conversion factors for
[[Page 64799]]
units of measure into square meter equivalents used by the United
States in implementing the ATC. In Presidential Proclamation 7616
(published in the Federal Register on November 5, 2002, 67 FR 67283),
the President directed CITA to publish in the Federal Register the
aggregate quantity of imports allowed during each period.
The purpose of this notice is to extend the period of the
quantitative limitation for preferential tariff treatment under the
regional fabric provision for imports of qualifying apparel articles
from Ecuador through July 31, 2013. For the period beginning on October
1, 2012 and extending through July 31, 2013, the aggregate quantity of
imports eligible for preferential treatment under the regional fabric
provision is 1,239,899,947 square meters equivalent. Apparel articles
entered in excess of this quantity will be subject to otherwise
applicable tariffs.
