COMMITTEE FOR THE 

IMPLEMENTATION OF TEXTILE 

AGREEMENTS 

Denial of Commercial Availability 

Request Under the United States—

Caribbean Basin Trade Partnership Act 

(CBTPA) 

October 5, 2004.

AGENCY: The Committee for the 

Implementation of Textile Agreements 

(CITA).

ACTION: Denial of the request alleging 

that certain woven fabrics, of the 

specifications detailed below, for use in 

apparel articles, cannot be supplied by 

the domestic industry in commercial 

quantities in a timely manner under the 

CBTPA.

SUMMARY: On August 3, 2004 the 

Chairman of CITA received four 

petitions from Sharretts, Paley, Carter & 

Blauvelt, P.C., on behalf of Fishman & 

Tobin, alleging that certain woven 

fabrics, of the specifications detailed 

below, classified in the indicated 

subheadings of the Harmonized Tariff 

Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), 

for use in apparel articles, cannot be 

supplied by the domestic industry in 

commercial quantities in a timely 

manner. It requested that apparel of 

such fabrics be eligible for preferential 

treatment under the CBTPA. Based on 

currently available information, CITA 

has determined that these subject fabrics 

can be supplied by the domestic 

industry in commercial quantities in a 

timely manner and therefore denies the 

request.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Authority: Section 213(b)(2)(A)(v)(II) of the 

Caribbean Basin Economic Recovery Act, as 

added by Section 211(a) of the CBTPA; 

Section 6 of Executive Order No. 13191 of 

January 17, 2001.

Background: 

The CBTPA provides for quota- and 

duty-free treatment for qualifying textile 

and apparel products. Such treatment is 

generally limited to products 

manufactured from yarns and fabrics 

formed in the United States or a 

beneficiary country. The CBTPA also 

provides for quota- and duty-free 

treatment for apparel articles that are 

both cut (or knit-to-shape) and sewn or 

otherwise assembled in one or more 

CBTPA beneficiary countries from fabric 

or yarn that is not formed in the United 

States, if it has been determined that 

such fabric or yarn cannot be supplied 

by the domestic industry in commercial 

quantities in a timely manner. In 

Executive Order No. 13191, the 

President delegated to CITA the 

authority to determine whether yarns or 

fabrics cannot be supplied by the 

domestic industry in commercial 

quantities in a timely manner under the 

CBTPA and directed CITA to establish 

procedures to ensure appropriate public 

participation in any such determination. 

On March 6, 2001, CITA published 

procedures that it will follow in 

considering requests. (66 FR 13502). 

On August 3, 2004, the Chairman of 

CITA received four petitions from 

Sharretts, Paley, Carter & Blauvelt, P.C., 

on behalf of Fishman & Tobin, alleging 

that certain woven fabrics, of the 

specifications detailed below, classified 

in the indicated subheadings of the 

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States (HTSUS), for use in 

apparel articles, cannot be supplied by 

the domestic industry in commercial 

quantities in a timely manner and 

requesting quota- and duty-free 

treatment under the CBTPA for apparel 

articles that are both cut and sewn in 

one or more CBTPA beneficiary 

countries from such fabrics. The 

petition for Fabric Number 2 was 

subsequently withdrawn. 

On August 9, 2004, CITA solicited 

public comments regarding the three 

petitions (69 FR 48224), particularly 

with respect to whether these fabrics 

can be supplied by the domestic 

industry in commercial quantities in a 

timely manner. On August 25, 2004, 

CITA and the Office of the U.S. Trade 

Representative offered to hold 

consultations with the relevant 

Congressional committees. We also 

requested the advice of the U.S. 

International Trade Commission and the 

relevant Industry Trade Advisory 

Committees. 

Based on the information provided, 

including review of the petitions, public 

comments, advice received, and our 

knowledge of the industry, CITA has 

determined that certain woven fabrics, 

of the specifications detailed below, 

classified in the indicated subheadings 

of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of 

the United States (HTSUS), for use in 

apparel articles, can be supplied by the 

domestic industry in commercial 

quantities in a timely manner. Sharretts, 

Paley, Carter & Blauvelt’s requests are 

denied.
