U.S.-Colombia TPA Implementation Act; and
Presidential Proclamation No. 8818, 77 FR
29519 (May 18, 2012).
Background
The U.S.-Colombia TPA provides a
list in Annex 3–B for fabrics, yarns, and
fibers that the Parties to the U.S.Colombia TPA have determined are not
available in commercial quantities in a
timely manner in the territory of any
Party. The U.S.-Colombia TPA and the
U.S.-Colombia TPA Implementation Act
provides that this list may be modified
when the President of the United States
determines that a fabric, yarn, or fiber is
not available in commercial quantities
in a timely manner in the territory of
any Party. See Annex 3–B of the U.S.Colombia TPA; see also section
203(o)(4) of the U.S.-Colombia TPA
Implementation Act.
The U.S.-Colombia TPA
Implementation Act requires the
President to establish 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 Proclamation
8818, the President delegated to CITA
the authority under section 203(o)(4) of
the U.S.-Colombia TPA Implementation
Act for modifying the Annex 3–B list.
Pursuant to this authority, on November
6, 2012, CITA published interim
procedures it would follow in
considering requests to modify the
Annex 3–B list of products determined
to be not commercially available in the
territory of either the United States or
Colombia (Interim Procedures for
Considering Requests Under the
Commercial Availability Provision of
the United States-Colombia Trade
Promotion Agreement, 77 FR 66588)
(‘‘CITA’s procedures’’).
On February 11, 2013, the Chairman
of CITA received a request for a
Commercial Availability determination
(‘‘Request’’) from Sorini Samet &
Associates LLC on behalf of Patagonia,
Inc. for certain laminated composite
fabric, as specified below. On February
12, 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 February 25, 2013, and
any Rebuttal Comments to a Response
must be submitted by March 1, 2013, in
accordance with sections 6 and 7 of
CITA’s procedures. No interested entity
submitted a Response to the Request

Request and its ability to supply the
subject product.
In accordance with section 203(o)(4)
of the U.S.-Colombia TPA
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–B of the U.S.Colombia TPA.
The subject product has been added
to the list in Annex 3–B of the U.S.Colombia TPA in unrestricted
quantities. A revised list has been
posted on the dedicated Web site for
U.S.-Colombia TPA Commercial
Availability proceedings.

Background
The U.S.-Colombia TPA provides a list in Annex 3-B for fabrics,
yarns, and fibers that the Parties to the U.S.-Colombia TPA have
determined are not available in commercial quantities in a timely
manner in the territory of any Party. The U.S.-Colombia TPA and the

fabric, yarn, or fiber is not available in commercial quantities in a
timely manner in the territory of any Party. See Annex 3-B of the U.S.-

Implementation Act.
The U.S.-Colombia TPA Implementation Act requires the President to
establish procedures governing the submission of a request and
