SUMMARY:

Authority: The CAFTA–DR Agreement;
Section 203(o)(4) of the Dominican RepublicCentral America-United States Free Trade
Agreement Implementation Act (‘‘CAFTA–
DR Implementation Act’’), Public Law 109–
53; the Statement of Administrative Action,
accompanying the CAFTA–DR
Implementation Act; and Presidential
Proclamations 7987 (February 28, 2006) and
7996 (March 31, 2006).
Background: The CAFTA–DR
Agreement provides a list in Annex 3.25
for fabrics, yarns, and fibers that the
Parties to the CAFTA–DR Agreement
have determined are not available in
commercial quantities in a timely
manner in the territory of any Party. The
CAFTA–DR Agreement provides that
this list may be modified pursuant to
Article 3.25.4 and 3.25.5, 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 3.25 of the
CAFTA–DR Agreement; see also section
203(o)(4)(C) of the CAFTA–DR
Implementation Act.
The CAFTA–DR 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 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

Commercial Availability determination

April 26, 2016, and any Rebuttal

accordance with sections 6 and 7 of
CITA’s procedures. No interested entity
