threshold percentage of value added in
Haiti, the United States, and/or certain
beneficiary countries. The provision is
subject to a quantitative limitation,
which is calculated as a percentage of
total apparel imports into the United
States for each 12-month annual period.
For the annual period from December
20, 2018 through December 19, 2019,
the quantity of imports eligible for
preferential treatment under the valueadded provision is 372,889,066 square
meters equivalent.
DATES: Applicable Date: December 20,
2018.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Laurie Mease, International Trade
Specialist, Office of Textiles and
Apparel, U.S. Department of Commerce,
(202) 482–2043.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Authority: Section 213A of the
Caribbean Basin Economic Recovery Act
(19 U.S.C. 2703a) (‘‘CBERA’’), as
amended; and as implemented by
Presidential Proc. No. 8114, 72 FR
13655 (March 22, 2007), and No. 8596,
75 FR 68153 (November 4, 2010).
Background: Section 213A(b)(1)(B) of
CBERA, as amended (19 U.S.C.
2703a(b)(1)(B)), outlines the
requirements for certain apparel articles
imported directly from Haiti to qualify
for duty-free treatment under a ‘‘valueadded’’ provision. In order to qualify for
duty-free treatment, apparel articles
must be wholly assembled, or knit-toshape, in Haiti from any combination of
fabrics, fabric components, components
knit-to-shape, and yarns, as long as the
sum of the cost or value of materials
produced in Haiti or one or more
beneficiary countries, as described in
CBERA, as amended, or any
combination thereof, plus the direct
costs of processing operations
performed in Haiti or one or more
beneficiary countries, as described in
CBERA, as amended, or any
combination thereof, is not less than an
applicable percentage of the declared
customs value of such apparel articles.
Pursuant to CBERA, as amended, the
applicable percentage for the period
December 20, 2018 through December
19, 2019, is 60 percent.
For every twelve-month period
following the effective date of CBERA,
as amended, duty-free treatment under
the value-added provision is subject to
a quantitative limitation. CBERA, as
amended, provides that the quantitative
limitation will be recalculated for each
subsequent 12-month period. Section
213A (b)(1)(C) of CBERA, as amended
(19 U.S.C. 2703a(b)(1)(C)), requires that,
for the twelve-month period beginning
on December 20, 2018, the quantitative
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 247001
limitation for qualifying apparel
imported from Haiti under the valueadded provision will be an amount
equivalent to 1.25 percent of the
aggregate square meter equivalent of all
apparel articles imported into the
United States in the most recent 12month period for which data are
available. The aggregate square meters
equivalent of all apparel articles
imported into the United States is
derived from the set of Harmonized
System lines listed in the Annex to the
World Trade Organization Agreement
on Textiles and Clothing (‘‘ATC’’), and
the conversion factors for units of
measure into square meter equivalents
used by the United States in
implementing the ATC. For purposes of
this notice, the most recent 12-month
period for which data are available as of
December 20, 2018 is the 12-month
period ending on October 31, 2018.
Therefore, for the one-year period
beginning on December 20, 2018 and
extending through December 19, 2019,
the quantity of imports eligible for
preferential treatment under the valueadded provision is 372,889,066 square
meters equivalent. Apparel articles
entered in excess of these quantities will
be subject to otherwise applicable
tariffs.

During the 2014–2015 Ebola
epidemic, dilute hypochlorite solutions
were widely used for hand hygiene in
hospitals, Ebola Treatment Units
(ETUs), and community spaces
throughout West Africa. The World
Health Organization has recommended
that health facilities use soap or alcohol
instead of hypochlorite for hand
hygiene. However, there are knowledge
gaps about whether hypochlorite could
be used for routine hand hygiene and
about how best to implement hand
hygiene changes in health facilities.

Hypochlorite could be safe, effective,
and easier to implement for routine
hand hygiene, especially after the Ebola
epidemic catalyzed institutional and
individual behavior change.
Respondents will include Liberian
hospital administrators, healthcare
workers, family caregivers, and patients
in four study hospitals in Liberia. The
research as planned cannot be
completed without the survey data. The
scientific merit and utility to DoD of this
research were evaluated in a formal peer
review process adjudicated in October
2016.
