the specifications detailed below, 

classified in the indicated subheadings 

of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of 

the United States (HTSUS), cannot be 

supplied by the domestic industry in 

commercial quantities in a timely 

manner. The petitions request that boys’

suits, trousers, and suit-type jackets or 

blazers, sizes 2T–20, of such fabrics 

assembled in one or more CBTPA 

beneficiary countries be eligible for 

preferential treatment under the CBTPA. 

CITA hereby solicits public comments 

on these petitions, in particular with 

regard to whether this fabric can be 

supplied by the domestic industry in 

commercial quantities in a timely 

manner. Comments must be submitted 

by January 4, 2005 to the Chairman, 

Committee for the Implementation of 

Textile Agreements, Room 3001, United 

States Department of Commerce, 14th

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

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

CBERA, 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 or fabrics 

formed in the United States. 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 December 12, 2004, the Chairman 

of CITA received a petition on behalf of 

Fishman & Tobin alleging that a certain 

woven fabric, of the specifications 

detailed below, classified in the 

indicated HTSUS subheadings, cannot 

be supplied by the domestic industry in 

commercial quantities in a timely 

manner and requesting quota- and dutyfree treatment under the CBTPA for 

boys’ suits, trousers, and suit-type 

jackets or blazers, sizes 2T–20, that are 

cut and sewn in one or more CBTPA 

beneficiary countries from such fabrics.

CITA is soliciting public comments 

regarding these requests, particularly 

with respect to whether this fabric can 

be supplied by the domestic industry in 

commercial quantities in a timely 

manner. Also relevant is whether other 

fabrics that are supplied by the domestic 

industry in commercial quantities in a 

timely manner are substitutable for the 

fabric for purposes of the intended use. 

Comments must be received no later 

than January 4, 2005. 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, NW., Washington, DC 20230. 

If a comment alleges that this fabric 

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 fabric stating that it 

produces the fabric that is 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 nonconfidential 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, NW., Washington, DC 20230. 

Persons submitting comments on a 

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