and 12/27/2010 (75 FR 81235–81236), 

the Committee for Purchase From 

People Who Are Blind or Severely 

Disabled published notices of proposed 

additions to the Procurement List. 

After consideration of the material 

presented to it concerning capability of 

qualified nonprofit agencies to provide 

the services and impact of the additions 

on the current or most recent 

contractors, the Committee has 

determined that the services listed 

below are suitable for procurement by

1. The action will not result in any 

additional reporting, recordkeeping or 

other compliance requirements for small 

entities other than the small 

organizations that will provide the 

services to the Government. 

2. The action will result in 

authorizing small entities to provide the 

services to the Government. 

3. There are no known regulatory 

alternatives which would accomplish 

the objectives of the Javits-WagnerO’Day Act (41 U.S.C. 46–48c) in 

connection with the services proposed 

for addition to the Procurement List. 

End of Certification 

Accordingly, the following services 

are added to the Procurement List:

COMMITTEE FOR THE 

IMPLEMENTATION OF TEXTILE 

AGREEMENTS 

Procedures for Considering Requests 

From the Public for Textile and Apparel 

Safeguard Actions on Imports From 

Peru 

AGENCY: The Committee for the 

Implementation of Textile Agreements. 

ACTION: Notice of Procedures. 

SUMMARY: This notice sets forth the 

procedures the Committee for the 

Implementation of Textile Agreements 

(the Committee) will follow in 

considering requests from the public for 

textile and apparel safeguard actions as 

provided for in Title III, Subtitle B, 

Section 321 through Section 328 of the 

United States-Peru Trade Promotion 

Agreement Implementation Act. 

DATES: Effective Date: February 18, 

2011. 

ADDRESSES: Requests must be submitted 

to: the Chairman, Committee for the 

Implementation of Textile Agreements, 

Room H3100, U.S. Department of 

Commerce, 14th and Constitution 

Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20230. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Robert Carrigg, Office of Textiles and 

Apparel, U.S. Department of Commerce, 

(202) 482–2573. 

Background 

Title III, Subtitle B, Section 321 

through Section 328 of the United 

States-Peru Trade Promotion Agreement 

Implementation Act (the ‘‘Act’’) 

implements the textile and apparel 

safeguard provisions, provided for in 

Article 3.1 of the Agreement. The 

safeguard mechanism applies when, as 

a result of the elimination of a customs 

duty under the Agreement, a Peruvian 

textile or apparel article is being 

imported into the United States in such 

increased quantities, in absolute terms 

or relative to the domestic market for 

that article, and under such conditions 

as to cause serious damage or actual 

threat thereof to a U.S. industry 

producing a like or directly competitive 

article. In these circumstances, Article 

3.1 permits the United States to increase 

WReier-Aviles on DSKGBLS3C1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 34 / Friday, February 18, 2011 / Notices 9557 

duties on the imported article from Peru 

to a level that does not exceed the lesser 

of the prevailing U.S. most- favorednation (MFN) duty rate for the article or 

the U.S. MFN duty rate in effect on the 

day before the Agreement enters into 

force. 

The import tariff relief is effective 

beginning on the date that the 

Committee determines that a ‘‘Peruvian 

textile or apparel article,’’ as defined in 

Section 301(2) of the Act, is being 

imported into the United States in such 

increased quantities, in absolute terms 

or relative to the domestic market for 

that article, and under such conditions 

that imports of the article cause serious 

damage, or actual threat thereof, to a 

U.S. industry producing an article that 

is like, or directly competitive with, the 

imported article. Consistent with 

Section 323(a) of the Act, the maximum 

period of import tariff relief, as set forth 

in Section 3 of this notice, shall be two 

years. However, consistent with Section 

323(b) of the Act, the Committee may 

extend the period of import relief for a 

period of not more than 1 year if the 

Committee determines that the 

continuation is necessary to remedy or 

prevent serious damage or actual threat 

thereof and to facilitate adjustment by 

the domestic industry to import 

competition, and that the domestic 

industry is, in fact, making a positive 

adjustment to import competition. 

Import tariff relief may not be applied 

to the same article at the same time 

under these procedures if relief 

previously has been granted with 

respect to that article under: (1) These 

provisions; (2) Subtitle A to Title III of 

the Act; or (3) Chapter 1 of Title II of 

the Trade Act of 1974. 

Authority to provide import tariff 

relief with respect to a Peruvian textile 

or apparel article will expire five years 

after the date on which the Agreement 

enters into force. 

Under Article 3.1.7 of the Agreement, 

if the United States provides relief to a 

domestic industry under the textile and 

apparel safeguard, it must provide Peru 

‘‘mutually agreed trade liberalizing 

compensation in the form of 

concessions having substantially 

equivalent trade effects or equivalent to 

the value of the additional duties 

expected to result from the textile 

safeguard measure.’’ Such concessions 

shall be limited to textile and apparel 

products, unless the United States and 

Peru agree otherwise. If the United 

States and Peru are unable to agree on 

trade liberalizing compensation, Peru 

may increase customs duties 

equivalently on U.S. products. The 

obligation to provide compensation 

terminates upon termination of the 

safeguard relief. Section 327 of the Act 

extends the President’s authority to 

provide compensation under section 

123 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 

2133), as amended, to measures taken 

pursuant to the Agreement’s textile and 

apparel safeguard provisions. 

In order to facilitate the 

implementation of Title III, Subtitle B, 

section 321 through section 328 of the 

Peru Trade Promotion Agreement 

Implementation Act, the Committee has 

determined that actions taken under this 

safeguard fall within the foreign affairs 

exception to the rulemaking provision 

of 5 U.S.C. 553(a)(1), and this notice 

does not waive that determination. 

These procedures are not subject to the 

requirement to provide prior notice and 

opportunity for public comment, 

pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(a)(1) and 

553(b)(A). 

1. Requirements for Requests. 

Pursuant to Section 321(a) of the Act 

and Paragraph 8 of Presidential 

Proclamation 8341 of January 16, 2009, 

an interested party may file a request for 

a textile and apparel safeguard action 

with the Committee. The Committee 

will review requests from an interested 

party sent to the Chairman, Committee 

for the Implementation of Textile 

Agreements, Room 3100, U.S. 

Department of Commerce, 14th and 

Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, 

DC 20230. Ten copies of any such 

request must be provided. As provided 

in Section 328 of the Act, the Committee 

will protect from disclosure any 

business confidential information that is 

marked ‘‘business confidential’’ to the 

full extent permitted by law. To the 

extent that business confidential 

information is provided, two copies of 

a non-confidential version must also be 

provided, in which business 

confidential information is summarized 

or, if necessary, deleted. At the 

conclusion of the request, an interested 

party must attest that ‘‘all information 

contained in the request is complete and 

accurate and no false claims, statements, 

or representations have been made.’’ 

Consistently with Section 321(a), the 

Committee will review a request 

initially to determine whether to 

commence consideration of the request 

on its merits. Within 15 working days of 

receipt of a request, the Committee will 

determine whether the request provides 

the information necessary for the 

Committee to consider the request in 

light of the considerations set forth 

below. If the request does not, the 

Committee will promptly notify the 

requester of the reasons for this 

determination and the request will not 

be considered. However, the Committee 

will reevaluate any request that is 

resubmitted with additional 

information. 

Consistent with longstanding 

Committee practice in considering 

textile safeguard actions, the Committee 

will consider an interested party to be 

an entity (which may be a trade 

association, firm, certified or recognized 

union, or group of workers) that is 

representative of either: (A) A domestic 

producer or producers of an article that 

is like or directly competitive with the 

subject Agreement country textile or 

apparel article; or (B) a domestic 

producer or producers of a component 

used in the production of an article that 

is like or directly competitive with the 

subject Peruvian textile or apparel 

article. 

A request will only be considered if 

the request includes the specific 

information set forth below in support 

of a claim that a textile or apparel article 

from Peru is being imported into the 

United States in such increased 

quantities, in absolute terms or relative 

to the domestic market for that article, 

and under such conditions as to cause 

serious damage, or actual threat thereof, 

to a U.S. industry producing an article 

that is like, or directly competitive with, 

the imported article. 

A. Product description. Name and 

description of the imported article 

concerned, including the category or 

categories or part thereof of the U.S. 

Textile and Apparel Category System 

(see ‘‘Textile Correlation’’ at http:// 

otexa.ita.doc.gov/corr.htm) http:// 

otexa.ita.doc.gov/corr.html) under 

which such article is classified, the 

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States subheading(s) under 

which such article is classified, and the 

name and description of the like or 

directly competitive domestic article 

concerned. 

B. Import data. The following data, in 

quantity by category unit (see ‘‘Textile 

Correlation’’), on total imports of the 

subject article into the United States and 

imports from Peru into the United 

States: 

* Annual data for the most recent 

three full calendar years for which such 

data are available; 

* Quarterly data for the most recent 

year for which such data are partially 

available, and quarterly data for the 

same quarter(s) of the previous year 

(e.g., January–March 2005, April–June 

2005 and January–March 2004, April– 

June 2004). 

The data should demonstrate that 

imports of a Peruvian origin textile or 

apparel article that is like or directly 

competitive with the article produced 

by the domestic industry concerned are 

WReier-Aviles on DSKGBLS3C1PROD with NOTICES

9558 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 34 / Friday, February 18, 2011 / Notices 

increasing in absolute terms or relative 

to the domestic market for that article. 

C. Production data. The following 

data, in quantity by category unit (see 

‘‘Textile Correlation’’), on U.S. domestic 

production of the like or directly 

competitive article of U.S. origin 

indicating the nature and extent of the 

serious damage or actual threat thereof: 

* Annual data for the most recent 

three full calendar years for which such 

data are available; 

* Quarterly data for the most recent 

year for which such data are partially 

available, and quarterly data for the 

same quarter(s) of the previous year (e.g. 

January–March 2005, April–June 2005 

and January–March 2004, April–June 

2004). 

If the like or directly competitive 

article(s) of U.S. origin does not 

correspond to a category or categories of 

the U.S. Textile and Apparel Category 

system for which production data are 

available from official statistics of the 

U.S. Department of Commerce (see ‘‘U.S. 

Imports, Production, Markets, Import 

Production Ratios and Domestic Market 

Shares for Textile and Apparel Products 

Categories, at Web site http:// 

otexa.ita.doc.gov/ipbook.pdf), the 

requester must provide a complete 

listing of all sources from which the 

data were obtained and an affirmation 

that to the best of the requester’s 

knowledge, the data represent 

substantially all of the domestic 

production of the like or directly 

competitive article(s) of U.S. origin. In 

such cases, data should be reported in 

the first unit of quantity in the 

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States (http://www.usitc.gov/ 

tata/hts) for the Peruvian textile and/or 

apparel articles and the like or directly 

competitive articles of U.S. origin. 

D. Market Share Data. The following 

data, in quantity by category unit (see 

‘‘Textile Correlation’’), on imports from 

Peru as a percentage of the domestic 

market (defined as the sum of domestic 

production of the like or directly 

competitive article and total imports of 

the subject article); on total imports as 

a percentage of the domestic market; 

and on domestic production of like or 

directly competitive articles as a 

percentage of the domestic market: 

* Annual data for the most recent 

three full calendar years for which such 

data are available; 

* Quarterly data for the most recent 

year for which such data are partially 

available, and quarterly data for the 

same quarter(s) of the previous year 

(e.g., January–March 2005, April–June 

2005 and January–March 2004, April– 

June 2004). 

E. Additional data showing serious 

damage or actual threat thereof. All 

data available to the requester showing 

changes in productivity, utilization of 

capacity, inventories, exports, wages, 

employment, domestic prices, profits, 

and investment, and any other 

information, relating to the existence of 

serious damage, or actual threat thereof, 

caused by imports from Peru to the 

industry producing the like or directly 

competitive article that is the subject of 

the request. To the extent that such 

information is not available, the 

requester should provide best estimates 

and the basis therefore: 

* Annual data for the most recent 

three full calendar years for which such 

data are available; 

* Quarterly data for the most recent 

year for which such data are partially 

available, and quarterly data for the 

same quarter(s) of the previous year 

(e.g., January–March 2005, April–June 

2005 and January–March 2004, April– 

June 2004). 

2. Consideration of Requests. 

Consistent with Section 321(b) of the 

Act, if the Committee determines that 

the request provides the information 

necessary for it to be considered, the 

Committee will cause to be published in 

the Federal Register a notice seeking 

public comments regarding the request, 

which will include a summary of the 

request and the date by which 

comments must be received. The 

Federal Register notice and the request, 

with the exception of information 

marked ‘‘business confidential,’’ will be 

posted by the Department of 

Commerce’s Office of Textiles and 

Apparel (‘‘OTEXA’’) on the Internet 

(http://otexa.ita.doc.gov). The comment 

period shall be 30 calendar days. To the 

extent business confidential information 

is provided, a non-confidential version 

must also be provided, in which 

business confidential information is 

summarized or, if necessary, deleted. At 

the conclusion of its submission of such 

public comments, an interested party 

must attest that ‘‘all information 

contained in the comments is complete 

and accurate and no false claims, 

statements, or representations have been 

made.’’ Comments received, with the 

exception of information marked 

‘‘business confidential,’’ will be 

available in the Department of 

Commerce’s Trade Information Center 

for review by the public. If a comment 

alleges that there is no serious damage 

or actual threat thereof, or that the 

subject imports are not the cause of the 

serious damage or actual threat thereof, 

the Committee will closely review any 

supporting information and 

documentation, such as information 

about domestic production or prices of 

like or directly competitive articles. In 

the case of requests submitted by 

entities that are not the actual producers 

of a like or directly competitive article, 

particular consideration will be given to 

comments representing the views of 

actual producers in the United States of 

a like or directly competitive article. 

Any interested party may submit 

information to rebut, clarify, or correct 

public comments submitted by any 

other interested party at any time prior 

to the deadline provided in this section 

for submission of such public 

comments. If public comments are 

submitted less than 10 days before, or 

on, the applicable deadline for 

submission of such public comments, 

an interested party may submit 

information to rebut, clarify, or correct 

the public comments no later than 10 

days after the applicable deadline for 

submission of public comments. 

With respect to any request 

considered by the Committee, the 

Committee will make a determination 

within 60 calendar days of the close of 

the comment period. If the Committee is 

unable to make a determination within 

60 calendar days, it will cause to be 

published in a notice in the Federal 

Register, including the date by which it 

will make a determination. If the 

Committee makes a negative 

determination, it will cause this 

determination and the reasons therefore 

to be published in the Federal Register. 

3. Determination and Provision of 

Relief. The Committee shall determine 

whether, as a result of the reduction or 

elimination of a duty under the 

Agreement, Peru’s textile or apparel 

article is being imported into the United 

States in such increased quantities, in 

absolute terms or relative to the 

domestic market for that article, and 

under such conditions as to cause 

serious damage, or actual threat thereof, 

to a domestic industry producing an 

article that is like, or directly 

competitive with, the imported article. 

In making this determination, the 

Committee: (1) Shall examine the effect 

of increased imports on the domestic 

industry as reflected in such relevant 

economic factors as output, 

productivity, utilization of capacity, 

inventories, market share, exports, 

wages, employment, domestic prices, 

profits, and investment, none of which 

is necessarily decisive; and (2) shall not 

consider changes in technology or 

consumer preference as factors 

supporting a determination of serious 

damage or actual threat thereof. The 

Committee, without delay, will provide 

written notice of its decision to the 

WReier-Aviles on DSKGBLS3C1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 34 / Friday, February 18, 2011 / Notices 9559 

Government of Peru and will consult 

with said party upon its request. 

If a determination under this section 

is affirmative, the Committee may 

provide import tariff relief to a U.S. 

industry to the extent necessary to 

remedy or prevent the serious damage 

or actual threat thereof and to facilitate 

adjustment by the domestic industry to 

import competition. Such relief may 

consist of an increase in duties to the 

lower of: (1) The NTR/MFN duty rate in 

place for the textile or apparel article at 

the time the relief is granted; or (2) the 

NTR/MFN duty rate for that article on 

the day before the Agreement enters into 

force. 

The import tariff relief is effective 

beginning on the date that the 

Committee’s affirmative determination 

is published in the Federal Register. 

The maximum period of import tariff 

relief shall be three years. However, if 

the initial period for import relief is less 

than three years, the Committee may 

extend the period of import relief to the 

maximum three-year period if the 

Committee determines that the 

continuation is necessary to remedy or 

prevent serious damage or actual threat 

thereof by the domestic industry to 

import competition, and that the 

domestic industry is, in fact, making a 

positive adjustment to import 

competition. Import tariff relief may not 

be imposed for an aggregate period 

greater than three years. Import tariff 

relief may not be applied to the same 

article at the same time under these 

procedures if relief previously has been 

granted with respect to that article 

under: (1) These provisions; (2) Subtitle 

A to Title III of the Act; or (3) Chapter 

1 of Title II of the Trade Act of 1974. 

Authority to provide import tariff 

relief for a textile or apparel article from 

Peru that is being imported into the 

United States in such increased 

quantities, in absolute terms or relative 

to the domestic market for that article, 

and under such conditions as to cause 

serious damage or actual threat thereof 

to a U.S. industry producing a like or 

directly competitive article, will expire 

five years after the date on which the 

Agreement enters into force. 

4. Self Initiation. The Committee may, 

on its own initiative, consider whether 

imports of a textile or apparel article 

from Peru are being imported into the 

United States in such increased 

quantities, in absolute terms or relative 

to the domestic market for that article, 

and under such conditions as to cause 

serious damage or actual threat thereof 

to a U.S. industry producing a like or 

directly competitive article. In such 

considerations, the Committee will 

follow procedures consistent with those 

set forth in Section 2 of this notice, 

including causing to be published in the 

Federal Register a notice seeking public 

comment regarding the action it is 

considering. 

5. Record Keeping and Business 

Confidential Information. OTEXA will 

maintain an official record for each 

request on behalf of the Committee. The 

official record will include all factual 

information, written argument, or other 

material developed by, presented to, or 

obtained by OTEXA regarding the 

request, as well as other material 

provided to the Department of 

Commerce by other government 

agencies for inclusion in the official 

record. The official record will include 

Committee memoranda pertaining to the 

request, memoranda of Committee 

meetings, meetings between OTEXA 

staff and the public, determinations, and 

notices published in the Federal 

Register. The official record will contain 

material which is public, business 

confidential, privileged, and classified, 

but will not include pre-decisional 

inter-agency or intra-agency 

communications. If the Committee 

decides it is appropriate to consider 

materials submitted in an untimely 

manner, such materials will be 

maintained in the official record. 

Otherwise, such material will be 

returned to the submitter and will not 

be maintained as part of the official 

record. OTEXA will make the official 

record public except for business 

confidential information, privileged 

information, classified information, and 

other information the disclosure of 

which is prohibited by U.S. law. The 

public record will be available to the 

public for inspection and copying in a 

public reading room located in the 

Department of Commerce, Trade 

Information Center. 

Information designated by the 

submitter as business confidential will 

normally be considered to be business 

confidential unless it is publicly 

available. The Committee will protect 

from disclosure any business 

confidential information that is marked 

‘‘business confidential’’ to the full extent 

permitted by law. To the extent that 

business confidential information is 

provided, two copies of a nonconfidential version must also be 

provided, in which business 

confidential information is summarized 

or, if necessary, deleted. The Committee 

will make available to the public nonconfidential versions of the request that 

is being considered, non-confidential 

versions of any public comments 

received with respect to a request, and, 

in the event consultations are requested, 

the statement of the reasons and 

justifications for the determination 

subsequent to the delivery of the 

statement to Peru.

proposed renewal and revision of its 

AmeriCorps VISTA Concept Paper and

the Project Progress Report (PPR) and 

VISTA Progress Report Supplement 

(VPRS) (OMB Control Number 3045– 

0043), which will expire on September 

30, 2011. 

This renewal with minor changes 

reflects the Corporation’s intent to 

modify selected sections of the 

collection instrument to reduce burden 

on respondents and to reflect changes in 

data considered core reporting 

information to meet a variety of needs, 

including adding new data elements as 

needed to ensure the information 

collection captures appropriate data for 

the Corporation’s required performance 

measurement and other reporting.
