SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Authority: The CAFTA–DR
Agreement; Section 203(o)(4) of the
Dominican Republic-Central AmericaUnited 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
(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 March 20, 2017, the Chairman of
CITA received a request for a
Commercial Availability determination
(‘‘Request’’) from BWA Inc. (‘‘BWA’’)
and Dillard’s Inc. for certain woven
modal-polyester print fabric. On March
21, 2017, in accordance with CITA’s
procedures, CITA notified interested
parties of the Request, which was
posted on the dedicated Web site for

proceedings. In its notification, CITA
advised that anyResponse with an Offer
to Supply (‘‘Response’’) must be
submitted by April 3, 2017, and any
Rebuttal Comments to a Response must
be submitted by April 7, 2017, 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 offer 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, at https://otexa.trade.gov/

Abstract: The International Early
Learning Study (IELS), scheduled to be

sponsored by the Organization for
Economic Cooperation and
Development (OECD), an
intergovernmental organization of
industrialized countries. In the United
States, the IELS is conducted by the
National Center for Education Statistics
(NCES). The IELS focuses on young
children and their cognitive and noncognitive skills and competencies as
they transition to primary school. The
IELS is designed to examine: Children’s
early learning and development in a
broad range of domains, including
social and cognitive skills; the
relationship between children’s early
learning and children’s participation in
early childhood education and care
(ECEC); the role of contextual factors,
including children’s individual
characteristics and their home
backgrounds and experiences, in
promoting young children’s growth and
development; and how early learning
varies across and within countries prior
to beginning primary school. In 2018, in
the participating countries, including
the United States, the IELS will assess
nationally-representative samples of
children ages 5.0–5.5 years (in
kindergarten in the United States)
through direct and indirect measures,
and will collect contextual data about
their home learning environments,
ECEC histories, and demographic
characteristics. The IELS will measure
