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 January 16, 2013, the Chairman of
CITA received a request for a
Commercial Availability determination
(‘‘Request’’) from Sandler, Travis &
Rosenberg, P.A. on behalf of VF Corp.
for certain three-layered composite
fabric, as specified below. On January
18, 2013, in accordance with CITA’s
procedures, CITA notified interested
parties of the Request, which was
posted on the dedicated Web site for
CAFTA–DR Commercial Availability
proceedings. In its notification, CITA
advised that any Response with an Offer
to Supply (‘‘Response’’) must be
submitted by January 31, 2013, and any
Rebuttal Comments to a Response must
be submitted by February 6, 2013, in
accordance with sections 6 and 7 of
CITA’s procedures. No interested entity
submitted a Response to the Request
advising CITA of its objection to the
Request and its ability to supply the
subject product.
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 providing an offer to
supply the subject product, CITA has
determined to add the specified fabric to
the list in Annex 3.25 of the CAFTA–
DR Agreement.
The subject product has been added
to the list in Annex 3.25 of the CAFTA–
DR Agreement in unrestricted
quantities. A revised list has been
posted on the dedicated Web site for
CAFTA–DR Commercial Availability
proceedings.

finishing of the fabric. They are
intended as specifications to be
followed by the mill in sourcing yarn
used to produce the fabric. Dyeing,
finishing and knitting can alter the
characteristic of the yarn as it appears
in the finished fabric. This specification
therefore includes yarns appearing in
the finished fabric as finer or coarser
than the designated yarn sizes provided
that the variation occurs after processing
of the greige yarn and production of the
fabric. The specifications for the fabric
apply to the fabric itself prior to cutting
and sewing of the finished garment.
Such processing may alter the
measurements.

CORPORATION FOR NATIONAL AND
COMMUNITY SERVICE
Submission for OMB Emergency
Review
Corporation for National and
Community Service.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
The Corporation for National
and Community Service (CNCS),
submitted the following information
collection request (ICR) to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and clearance in accordance
with the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995, (PRA 95) (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35).
CNCS requested that OMB review and
approve its emergency request by
February 22, 2013, for a period of six
months. A copy of this ICR, with
applicable supporting documentation,
may be obtained by contacting Amy
Borgstrom, (202) 606–6930 or by email
at aborgstrom@cns.gov.
Unfortunately, since CNCS requested
OMB’s approval of this emergency
request by February 22, 2013, there will
be not enough time for the public to
provide comments through this Federal
Register Notice before the approval
date. Therefore, there will be no
comment period for this request.
Type of Review: Emergency Request.
Agency: Corporation for National and
Community Service.
Title: AmeriCorps Partnership
Application Instructions.
OMB Number: TBD.
Agency Number: None.
Affected Public: Nonprofit
organizations and congregations.
Total Respondents: 50.

Frequency: One time.
Average Time per Response: 40 hours.
Estimated Total Burden Hours: 2000
hours.
Total Burden Cost (capital/startup):
None.
Total Burden Cost (operating/
maintenance): None.
Description: CNCS has been working
closely with the Department of
Education over the past several months
to develop a strategic partnership that
leverages strengths of both agencies to
address one of our nation’s most critical
education needs, helping students in the
lowest-achieving schools improve their
academic outcomes. This proposed
partnership will place AmeriCorps
members in the nation’s lowest
performing schools starting at the
beginning of this school year. It
capitalizes on the strengths of the
AmeriCorps model, placing members
where they are most needed, while
making additional human resources
available to districts that are
implementing the Department of
Education’s School Improvement
Grants.
If normal clearance procedures are
followed, CNCS and the Department of
Education will lose the opportunity to
collaborate on these partnerships, as
funds must be obligated by September
30, 2013. In addition, we want to ensure
that we allow enough time for
applicants to submit quality
applications and for the agencies to
conduct a thorough review.
We are particularly interested in
making grant awards in time for the
Education program to be operational at
the start of the school year (August/
September 2013). If we begin the
standard OMB clearance procedure
now, we will not be able to meet this
goal.

Deputy Director, AmeriCorps State and

and consistent with Charter 37 of Title
50 U.S.C. shall perform the following
functions:
a. Develop criteria for awarding
scholarships, fellowships, and grants,
including an order of priority in such
awards that favors individuals
expressing an interest in national
security issues or pursuing a career in
a national security position.
b. Provide for wide dissemination of
information regarding the activities
assisted under the statute.
c. Establish qualifications for students
desiring scholarships or fellowships,
and institutions of higher education

commitment to the study of the
discipline for which the scholarship or
fellowship is to be awarded.
d. After taking into account the
annual analyses of trends in language,
international, area, and counterproliferation studies under 50 U.S.C.
1906(b)(1), make recommendations to
the Secretary of Defense regarding:
i. Which countries are not
emphasized in other U.S. study abroad
programs, such as countries in which
few U.S. students are studying and
countries which are of importance to the
national security interests of the United
States, and are, therefore, critical
countries for the purposes of 50 U.S.C.
1902(a)(1)(A);
ii. Which areas within the disciplines
described in 50 U.S.C. 1902(a)(1)(B)
relating to the national security interests
of the United States are areas of study

iii. Which areas within the disciplines
described in 50 U.S.C. 1902(a)(1)(C) are
areas in which U.S. students, educators,
and Government employees are
deficient in learning and in which
insubstantial numbers of U.S.
institutions of higher education provide
training and are, therefore, critical areas
within those disciplines for the
purposes of that section;
iv. How students desiring
scholarships or fellowships can be
encouraged to work for an agency or
office of the Federal Government
involved in national security affairs or
national security policy upon
completion of their education; and
v. Which foreign languages are critical
to the national security interests of the

the scholarship program for advanced
English language studies by heritage
community citizens).

fellowships from graduate students
having an educational background in
any academic discipline, particularly in
the area of science or technology.
f. Provide the Secretary of Defense
biennially with a list of scholarship
recipients and fellowship recipients,
including an assessment of their foreign
area and language skills, who are
available to work in a national security
position.
g. Not later than 30 days after a
scholarship or fellowship recipient
completes the study or education for
which assistance was provided under
the program, provide the Secretary of
Defense with a report fully describing
the foreign area and language skills
obtained by the recipient as a result of
the assistance.
