Federal Register / Vol. 69, No. 202 / Wednesday, October 20, 2004 / Notices 61659

added by Section 211(a) of the CBTPA; 

Section 6 of Executive Order No. 13191 of 

January 17, 2001.

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 or a beneficiary country, 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 October 12, 2004, the Chairman of 

CITA received a petition from Sandler, 

Travis & Rosenberg, P.A., on behalf of 

Bernette Textile Co, LLC of New York, 

NY, alleging that certain colored open 

end spun yarns ranging in size from 6/

1 to 18/1 English count (10.16/1 to 

30.47/1 metric) of a blend of reclaimed 

and reprocessed cotton and acrylic 

staple fiber, for use in chief weight 

cotton sweaters, cannot be supplied by 

the domestic industry in commercial 

quantities in a timely manner requesting 

quota- and duty-free treatment under 

the CBTPA for apparel articles that are 

cut and sewn in one or more CBTPA 

beneficiary countries from such yarns.

uncombed fibers

CITA is soliciting public comments 

regarding this request, particularly with 

respect to whether this yarn can be 

supplied by the domestic industry in 

commercial quantities in a timely 

manner. Also relevant is whether other 

yarns that are supplied by the domestic 

industry in commercial quantities in a 

timely manner are substitutable for 

these yarns for purposes of the intended 

use. Comments must be received no 

later than November 4, 2004. Interested 

persons are invited to submit six copies 

of such comments or information to the 

Chairman, Committee for the 

Implementation of Textile Agreements, 

room 3100, U.S. Department of 

Commerce, 14th and Constitution 

Avenue, N.W., Washington, DC 20230.

If a comment alleges that this yarn can 

be supplied by the domestic industry in 

commercial quantities in a timely 

manner, CITA will closely review any 

supporting documentation, such as a 

signed statement by a manufacturer of 

the yarns stating that it produces the 

yarns that are the subject of the request, 

including the quantities that can be 

supplied and the time necessary to fill 

an order, as well as any relevant 

information regarding past production.

CITA will protect any business 

confidential information that is marked 

‘‘business confidential’’ from disclosure 

to the full extent permitted by law. 

CITA will make available to the public 

non-confidential versions of the request 

and non-confidential versions of any 

public comments received with respect 

to a request in room 3100 in the Herbert 

Hoover Building, 14th and Constitution 

Avenue, N.W., Washington, DC 20230. 

Persons submitting comments on a 

request are encouraged to include a nonconfidential version and a nonconfidential summary.

Chairman, Committee for the Implementation 

of Textile Agreements.
