Background: Section 404 of the
Dominican Republic-Central AmericaUnited States Free Trade Agreement
Implementation Act (DR–CAFTA Act)
(19 U.S.C. 4112) required the Secretary
of Commerce to establish an Earned
Import Allowance Program (EIAP) and
directed the Commission to conduct
annual reviews of the program to
evaluate its effectiveness and make
recommendations for improvements.
Section 404 of the DR–CAFTA Act
authorizes certain apparel articles
wholly assembled in an eligible country
to enter the United States free of duty
if accompanied by a certificate that
shows evidence of the purchase of
certain U.S. fabric. The term ‘‘eligible
country’’ is defined to mean the
Dominican Republic. More specifically,
the program allows producers (in the
Dominican Republic) that purchase a
certain quantity of qualifying U.S. fabric
to produce certain cotton bottoms in the
Dominican Republic to receive a credit
that can be used to ship a certain
quantity of eligible apparel using thirdcountry fabrics from the Dominican
Republic to the United States free of
duty.
Section 404(d) directs the
Commission to conduct an annual
review of the program to evaluate the
effectiveness of the program and make
recommendations for improvements.
The Commission is required to submit
its reports containing the results of its
reviews to the House Committee on
Ways and Means and the Senate
Committee on Finance. Copies of the
Commission’s prior reports are available
on the Commission’s website at
www.usitc.gov, including the eighth
annual report, which was published on
September 28, 2017 (ITC Publication
4730). The Commission expects to
submit its report on its ninth annual
review by August 3, 2018.
The Commission instituted this
investigation pursuant to section 332(g)
of the Tariff Act of 1930 to facilitate
docketing of submissions and also to
facilitate public access to Commission
records through the Commission’s EDIS
electronic records system. The
Commission published notice of
