INTERNATIONAL TRADE 

COMMISSION 

[Investigation No. 332–458] 

Commercial Availability of Apparel 

Inputs (2004): Effect of Providing 

Preferential Treatment to Apparel From 

Sub-Saharan African, Caribbean Basin, 

and Andean Countries

AGENCY: United States International 

Trade Commission.

ACTION: Institution of investigation.

EFFECTIVE DATE: February 2, 2004.

SUMMARY: Following receipt of a request 

from the United States Trade 

Representative (USTR) on January 27, 

2004, the Commission instituted 

investigation No. 332–458, Commercial 

Availability of Apparel Inputs (2004): 

Effect of Providing Preferential 

Treatment to Apparel from Sub-Saharan 

African, Caribbean Basin, and Andean 

Countries. The Commission instituted 

the investigation under section 332(g) of 

the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 

1332(g)) to provide advice regarding the 

probable economic effect of granting 

preferential treatment to apparel made 

from fabrics or yarns that are the subject 

of petitions filed in 2004 with the 

Committee for the Implementation of 

Textile Agreements (CITA) under the 

‘‘commercial availability’’ provisions of 

the African Growth and Opportunity 

Act (AGOA), the United StatesCaribbean Basin Trade Partnership Act 

(CBTPA), and the Andean Trade 

Promotion and Drug Eradication Act 

(ATPDEA). The Commission conducted 

similar investigations in the years 2001–

03 to provide advice with respect to 

petitions filed in those years.

general information, contact Jackie W. 

Jones (202–205–3466, jones@usitc.gov)

accessing its Internet server (http://

www.usitc.gov). The public record for 

this investigation may be viewed on the 

Commission’s electronic docket (EDIS) 

http://edis.usitc.gov.

Background: The Commission will 

follow procedures similar to those 

followed in the commercial availability 

reviews in 2003 under investigation No. 

332–450. Thus, in 2004, the 

Commission will provide advice for 

each commercial availability review 

under one investigation number. In 

addition, the Commission will post a 

notification letter announcing the 

initiation of each review on its Internet 

site (http://www.usitc.gov) and send the 

notification letter to a list of interested 

parties who wish to be automatically 

notified via facsimile about any requests 

for which the Commission initiated 

analysis. Interested parties may be 

added to this list by notifying Jackie W. 

Jones (202–205–3466, jones@usitc.gov). 

The notification letter will specify the 

article(s) under consideration, the 

deadline for submission of public 

comments on the proposed preferential 

treatment, and the name, telephone 

number, and Internet e-mail address of 

a staff contact for additional 

information. The Commission has a 

special area on its Internet site (http://

www.usitc.gov/332s/shortsup/

shortsupintro.htm) to provide the public 

with information on the status of each 

request for which the Commission 

initiated analysis. CITA publishes a 

summary of each request from 

interested parties in the Federal 

Register and posts them on its Internet 

site (U.S. Department of Commerce, 

Office of Textiles and Apparel, at 

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

The Commission will submit its 

reports to the USTR not later than the 

42nd day after receiving a request for 

advice. The Commission will issue a 

public version of each report as soon as 

possible thereafter, with any
