Background: Chapter 3, Annex 3–A 

and Chapter 4 of the FTA contain the 

rules of origin for textiles and apparel 

for application of the tariff provisions of 

the FTA. These rules are reflected in 

General Note 30 of the Harmonized 

Tariff Schedule of the United States 

(HTS). According to the USTR’s request 

letter, U.S. negotiators have recently 

reached agreement in principle with 

representatives of the government of 

Bahrain on certain modifications to the 

rules of origin to the FTA for certain 

combed cotton yarns used in the 

production of certain home furnishings, 

as described in the attachment to the 

letter (for the text of the letter and 

attachment, see the Commission’s Web 

site for this investigation at http:// 

www.usitc.gov/research_and_analysis/ 

What_We_Are_Working_On.htm). 

Section 202(j) of the United StatesBahrain Free Trade Agreement 

Implementation Act (the Act) authorizes 

the President, subject to the 

consultation and layover requirements 

of section 104 of the Act, to proclaim 

such modifications to the rules of origin 

as are necessary to implement an 

agreement pursuant to Article 3.2.5 of 

the FTA. One of the requirements set 

out in section 104 of the Act is that the 

President obtain advice from the United 

States International Trade Commission. 

The request letter asks that the 

Commission provide advice on the 

probable effect of the proposed 

modifications on U.S. trade under the 

U.S.-Bahrain FTA, total U.S. trade, and 

on domestic producers of the affected 

articles. The USTR asked that the 

Commission provide its report 

containing its advice by July 12, 2010, 

and that the Commission shortly 

thereafter issue a public version of the 

report with any confidential business 

information deleted. Additional 

information concerning the articles and 

the proposed modifications, including a 

copy of the USTR’s request letter, can be 

obtained by accessing the Commission’s 

Web site at http://www.usitc.gov. The 

current U.S.-Bahrain FTA rules of origin 

applicable to U.S. imports can be found 

in general note 30 of the HTS (see 

‘‘General Notes’’ link at http:// 

www.usitc.gov/tata/hts/bychapter/ 

index.htm). 

Written Submissions: No public 

hearing is planned. However, interested 

parties are invited to file written 

submissions and other information 

concerning the matters to be addressed 

in this investigation. All written 

submissions should be addressed to the 

Secretary. To be assured of 

consideration by the Commission, 

written submissions relating to the 

Commission’s advice should be 

submitted at the earliest possible date, 

and should be received not later than 

5:15 p.m., April 29, 2010. All written 

submissions must conform to the 

provisions of section 201.8 of the 

Commission’s Rules of Practice and 

Procedure (19 CFR 201.8). Section 201.8 

requires that a signed original (or a copy 

so designated) and fourteen (14) copies 

of each document be filed. In the event 

that confidential treatment of a 

document is requested, at least four (4) 

additional copies must be filed, in 

which the confidential information 

must be deleted (see the following 

paragraph for further information 

regarding confidential business 

information). The Commission’s rules 

authorize the filing submissions with 

the Secretary by facsimile or electronic 

means only to the extent permitted by 

section 201.8 of the rules (see Handbook 

on Electronic Filing Procedures, http:// 

www.usitc.gov/docket_services/ 

documents/ 

handbook_on_electronic_filing.pdf). 

Persons with questions regarding 

electronic filing should contact the 

Secretary (202–205–2000). 

Any submissions that contain 

confidential business information must 

also conform with the requirements of 

section 201.6 of the Commission’s Rules 

of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 

201.6). Section 201.6 of the rules 

requires that the cover of the document 

and the individual pages be clearly 

marked as to whether they are the 

Aconfidential@ or Anon-confidential@ 

version, and that the confidential 

business information be clearly 

identified by means of brackets. All 

written submissions, except for 

confidential business information, will 

be made available for inspection by 

interested parties. 

The Commission may include some or 

all of the confidential business 

information submitted in the course of 

this investigation in the report it sends 

to the USTR and the President. As 

requested by the USTR, the Commission 

will publish a public version of the 

report. However, in the public version, 

the Commission will not publish 

confidential business information in a 

manner that would reveal the operations 

of the firm supplying the information.
