Committee for the
Implementation of Textile Agreements.
ACTION: Notice; request for public

Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 80 / Wednesday, April 24, 2024 / Notices
(‘‘Canada’’) to initiate consultations
under Article 6.4.1 of the United StatesMexico-Canada Agreement (‘‘USMCA’’).
Canada is requesting that the United
States and Mexico (with Canada,
collectively ‘‘the Parties’’) consider
changing the rules of origin for certain
end-use fabrics used in the production
of fire hose based on the lack of
commercial availability for certain hightenacity polyester yarns in the territories
of the Parties. The yarns are described
as high-tenacity polyester yarn, single or
multiple, multifilament, untwisted,
untextured, and measuring more than
920 decitex, used in the production of
fire hose, with or without lining, armor
or accessories of other materials. The
President of the United States may
proclaim a modification to the USMCA
rules of origin for textile and apparel
products if the United States reaches an
agreement with Canada and Mexico on
a modification under Article 6.4.3 of the
USMCA to address issues of availability
of supply of fibers, yarns, or fabrics in
the territories of the Parties. The
President authorized, in Presidential
Proclamation 10053 (July 1, 2020), the
Committee for the Implementation of
Textile Agreements (‘‘CITA’’) to review
requests for modifications to a rule of
origin for textile and apparel goods
based on a change in the availability of
the textile or apparel good in the
territory of the Parties, and to make a
recommendation as to whether a
requested modification is warranted.
CITA hereby solicits public comments
on this request to modify the USMCA
rules of origin, particularly regarding
whether certain high-tenacity polyester
yarns used in the production of fire hose
can be supplied by the U.S. domestic
industry in commercial quantities in a
timely manner.
DATES: Comments must be submitted by
May 24, 2024.
ADDRESSES: Submit public comments
electronically to the Chairman,
Committee for the Implementation of
Textile Agreements at OTEXA.USMCA@

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Authority: Article 6.4 of the USMCA;
Section 103(c)(5)(B)(ii) of the United
States–Mexico–Canada Agreement
Implementation Act (‘‘USMCA
Implementation Act’’); Executive Order
11651 of March 3, 1972, as amended;
Presidential Proclamation 10053 of July
1, 2020 (85 FR 39826).
Background: Under the USMCA, the
Parties are required to eliminate
customs duties on textile and apparel
goods that qualify as originating goods
under the USMCA rules of origin, which
are set out in Annex 4–B of the USMCA.
Article 6.4.1 of the USMCA provides
that, on the request of a Party, the
Parties shall consult to consider
whether the rules of origin applicable to
a particular textile or apparel good
should be revised to address issues of
availability of supply of fibers, yarns, or
fabrics in the territories of the Parties. In
the consultations, pursuant to Article
6.4.2 of the USMCA, each Party shall
consider the data presented by the other
Parties demonstrating substantial
production in its territory of a particular
fiber, yarn, or fabric. The Parties shall
consider that there is substantial
production if a Party demonstrates that
its domestic producers are capable of
supplying commercial quantities of the
fiber, yarn, or fabric in a timely manner.

the USMCA Implementation Act. (See

actions or recommend that appropriate
officials or agencies of the United States
take actions necessary to implement
textile trade agreements. (See 37 FR

based on a change in the availability in
the territories of the [Parties] of a

The President may use this
recommendation from CITA as part of
the consultations with the Parties
regarding the proposed change to the
USMCA rules of origin.
On February 20, 2024, Canada
submitted a request to the United States
and Mexico to consult on whether the
USMCA rule of origin for certain enduse fabrics for use in fire hose should be
modified to allow the use of certain
high-tenacity polyester yarns that are
not originating under the USMCA. The

pursuant to Article 6.4.2 of the USMCA, each Party shall consider the

Parties shall consider that there is substantial production if a Party
demonstrates that its domestic producers are capable of supplying
