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.

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 

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 12- 

month 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.
