fiscal year, or (b) had purchases of
covered services or intellectual property
from foreign persons that exceeded $4
million for the previous fiscal year or

SUMMARY:

I. Abstract
The United States and Peru negotiated
the US-Peru Trade Promotion
Agreement (the ‘‘Agreement’’), which
entered into force on February 1, 2009.
Subject to the rules of origin in Annex
4.1 of the Agreement, pursuant to the
textile provisions of the Agreement,
fabric, yarn, and fiber produced in Peru
or the United States and traded between
the two countries are entitled to dutyfree tariff treatment. Annex 3–B of the
VerDate Mar<15>2010
16:47 Jan 28, 2013
Jkt 229001
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 Peru 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
Peru 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 Peru 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.
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. 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. 8341, 74 FR 4105).
Interim procedures to implement these
responsibilities were published in the
Federal Register on August 14, 2009.
See Interim Procedures for Considering
Requests Under the Commercial
Availability Provision of the United
States-Peru Trade Promotion Agreement
Implementation Act and Estimate of
Burden for Collection of Information,
(74 FR 41111).
The intent of the U.S.-Peru TPA
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 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
PO 00000
Frm 00004

Sfmt 4703
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 Peruvian 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 Peru,
subject to Section 203(o) of the US–
PERU TPA.
II. Method of Collection
Participants in a commercial
availability proceeding must submit
public versions of their Requests,
Responses or Rebuttals electronically
(via email) for posting on OTEXA’s Web
site. Confidential versions of those
submissions which contain business
confidential information must be
delivered in hard copy to OTEXA.

of the functions of the agency, including

practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden
