SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Title V of the Trade and Development 

Act of 2000 (the Act) created two tariff 

rate quotas (TRQs), providing for 

temporary reductions in the import 

duties on limited quantities of two 

categories of worsted wool fabrics 

suitable for use in making suits, suittype jackets, or trousers: (1) For worsted 

wool fabric with average fiber diameters 

greater than 18.5 microns (Harmonized 

Tariff Schedule of the United States 

(HTS) heading 9902.51.11); and (2) for 

worsted wool fabric with average fiber 

diameters of 18.5 microns or less (HTS 

heading 9902.51.12). On August 6, 2002, 

President Bush signed into law the 

Trade Act of 2002, which includes 

several amendments to Title V of the 

Act. On December 3, 2004, the Act was 

further amended pursuant to the 

Miscellaneous Trade Act of 2004, Public 

Law 108–429. The 2004 amendment 

included authority for the Department 

to allocate a TRQ for new HTS category, 

HTS 9902.51.16. This HTS category 

refers to worsted wool fabric with 

average fiber diameter of 18.5 microns 

or less. The amendment provided that 

HTS 9902.51.16 is for the benefit of 

persons (including firms, corporations, 

or other legal entities) who weave such 

worsted wool fabric in the United States 

that is suitable for making men’s and 

boys’ suits. The TRQ for HTS 

9902.51.16 provided for temporary 

reductions in the import duties on 

2,000,000 square meters annually for 

2005 and 2006. The amendment 

requires that the TRQ be allocated to 

persons who weave worsted wool fabric 

with average fiber diameter of 18.5 

microns or less, which is suitable for 

use in making men’s and boys’ suits, in 

the United States. On August 17, 2006, 

the Act was further amended pursuant 

to the Pension Protection Act of 2006, 

Public Law 109–280, which extended 

the TRQ for HTS 9902.51.16 through 

2009. The Emergency Economic 

Stabilization Act of 2008 extended the 

TRQ for HTS 9902.51.16 through 2014. 

On October 24, 2005, the Department 

adopted final regulations establishing 

procedures for allocating the TRQ. See 

70 FR 61363; 19 CFR 335. In order to 

be eligible for an allocation, an 

applicant must submit an application on 

the form provided at http:// 

web.ita.doc.gov/tacgi/wooltrq.nsf/ 

TRQApp/fabric to the address listed 

above by 5 p.m. on October 2, 2009 in 

compliance with the requirements of 15

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Introduction 

The Consumer Product Safety Act 

(‘‘CPSA’’), at section 14(a)(3)(B)(vi), as 

added by section 102(a)(2) of the 

Consumer Product Safety Improvement 

Act of 2008 (‘‘CPSIA’’), Public Law 110– 

314, directs the CPSC to publish a 

notice of requirements for accreditation 

of third party conformity assessment 

bodies (also referred to as ‘‘third party 

laboratories’’) to assess children’s 

products for conformity with ‘‘other 

children’s product safety rules.’’ Section 

14(f)(1) of the CPSA defines ‘‘children’s 

product safety rule’’ as ‘‘a consumer 

product safety rule under [the CPSA] or 

similar rule, regulation, standard, or ban 

under any other Act enforced by the 

Commission, including a rule declaring 

a consumer product to be a banned 

hazardous product or substance.’’ Under 

section 14(a)(3)(A) of the CPSA, each 

manufacturer (including the importer) 

or private labeler of products subject to 

those regulations must have products 

that are manufactured more than 90 

days after the Federal Register 

publication date of this notice tested by 

a third party conformity assessment 

body accredited to do so and must issue 

a certificate of compliance with the 

applicable regulations based on that 

testing. (The Commission notes, 

however, that in the Federal Register of 

February 9, 2009 (74 FR 6396), the
