Clearance its Interim Procedures 

requiring the collection of information 

under the emergency provisions of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

(‘‘PRA’’) (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). In 

accordance with the PRA, CITA has 

estimated the ‘‘burden’’ (in number of 

hours) on the public to submit 

information required by CITA under its 

Interim Procedures. In a Federal 

Register notice published on July 31, 

2009, (74 FR 38169), CITA solicited 

public comment on its estimated 

burden. CITA hereby provides the 

public further opportunity to provide 

comment on its estimates of the burden 

on the public to submit information to 

CITA under the Interim Procedures. 

Estimate of Burden as a Result of 

Information Collection: Based on 

estimates on the number of Requests, 

Rebuttals and Responses filed per year, 

and the average amount of time required 

to submit a Request, Rebuttal, and 

Response, CITA estimates that the total 

annual burden to the public is 89 hours. 

A further breakdown of its estimates for 

the number of hours to collect and 

provide information to CITA for 

Requests, Responses and Rebuttals is 

provided in detail below. 

Requests: CITA estimates that 10 

Requests will be filed per year under the 

US-PERU TPA commercial availability

(NAFTA) 

August 11, 2009. 

AGENCY: Committee for the 

Implementation of Textile Agreements 

(CITA). 

ACTION: Request for Public Comments 

concerning a request for modification of 

the NAFTA rules of origin for articles of 

apparel and clothing accessories, not 

knitted or crocheted made from certain 

yarn-dyed poplin fabric. 

SUMMARY: On August 5, 2009, the 

Chairman of CITA received a request 

from Sorini Samet & Associates LLC, on

alleging that certain yarn-dyed poplin 

fabric, as specified below, classified 

under subheading 5513.31 of the 

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States (HTSUS), cannot be 

supplied by the domestic industry in 

commercial quantities in a timely 

manner and requesting that CITA 

consider whether the North American 

Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) rule of 

origin for articles of apparel and 

clothing accessories, not knitted or 

crocheted, classified under HTSUS 

Chapter 62, should be modified to allow 

the use of certain non-North American 

yarn-dyed poplin fabric, as specified 

below. The President may proclaim a 

modification to the NAFTA rules of 

origin only after reaching an agreement 

with the other NAFTA countries on the 

modification. CITA hereby solicits 

public comments on this request, in 

particular with regard to whether 

certain yarn-dyed poplin fabric, as 

specified below, can be supplied by the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Authority: Section 204 of the Agricultural 

Act of 1956, as amended (7 USC 1854); 

Section 202(q) of the North American Free 

Trade Agreement Implementation Act (19 

USC 3332(q)); Executive Order 11651 of 

March 3, 1972, as amended. 

BACKGROUND: 

Under the North American Free Trade 

Agreement (NAFTA), NAFTA countries 

are required to eliminate customs duties 

on textile and apparel goods that qualify 

as originating goods under the NAFTA 

rules of origin, which are set out in 

Annex 401 to the NAFTA. The NAFTA 

provides that the rules of origin for 

textile and apparel products may be 

amended through a subsequent 

agreement by the NAFTA countries. See

Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Changed 

Circumstances Review, and Intent to Revoke Order 

in Part, 74 FR 31696 (July 2, 2009) (‘‘Preliminary 

Results’’). 

Section 202(q) of the NAFTA 

Implementation Act. In consultations 

regarding such a change, the NAFTA 

countries are to consider issues of 

availability of supply of fibers, yarns, or 

fabrics in the free trade area and 

whether domestic producers are capable 

of supplying commercial quantities of 

the good in a timely manner. The 

Statement of Administrative Action 

(SAA) that accompanied the NAFTA 

Implementation Act stated that any 

interested person may submit to CITA a 

request for a modification to a particular 

rule of origin based on a change in the 

availability in North America of a 

particular fiber, yarn or fabric and that 

the requesting party would bear the 

burden of demonstrating that a change 

is warranted. NAFTA Implementation 

Act, SAA, H. Doc. 103-159, Vol. 1, at 

491 (1993). The SAA provides that CITA 

may make a recommendation to the 

President regarding a change to a rule of 

origin for a textile or apparel good. SAA 

at 491. The NAFTA Implementation Act 

provides the President with the 

authority to proclaim modifications to 

the NAFTA rules of origin as are 

necessary to implement an agreement 

with one or more NAFTA country on 

such a modification. See section 202(q) 

of the NAFTA Implementation Act. 

CITA is soliciting public comments 

regarding this request, particularly with 

respect to whether the certain yarn-dyed 

poplin fabric, as specified below, can be 

supplied by the domestic industry in 

commercial quantities in a timely 

manner. Comments must be received no 

later than September 14, 2009. 

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 the specified 

yarn-dyed poplin 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 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
