SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Authority: The CAFTA–DR Agreement; 

Section 203(o)(4) of the Dominican RepublicCentral America-United States Free Trade 

Agreement Implementation Act (‘‘CAFTA– 

DR Implementation Act’’), Public Law 109– 

53; the Statement of Administrative Action, 

accompanying the CAFTA–DR 

Implementation Act; and Presidential 

Proclamations 7987 (February 28, 2006) and 

7996 (March 31, 2006). 

Background 

The CAFTA–DR Agreement provides 

a list in Annex 3.25 for fabrics, yarns, 

and fibers that the Parties to the 

CAFTA–DR Agreement have 

determined are not available in 

commercial quantities in a timely 

manner in the territory of any Party. The 

CAFTA–DR Agreement provides that 

this list may be modified pursuant to 

Article 3.25(4)-(5), when the President 

of the United States determines that a 

fabric, yarn, or fiber is not available in 

commercial quantities in a timely 

manner in the territory of any Party. See 

Annex 3.25 of the CAFTA–DR 

Agreement; see also section 203(o)(4)(C) 

of the CAFTA–DR Implementation Act. 

The CAFTA–DR Implementation Act 

requires the President to establish 

procedures governing the submission of 

a request and providing opportunity for 

interested entities to submit comments 

and supporting evidence before a 

commercial availability determination is 

made. In Presidential Proclamations 

7987 and 7996, the President delegated 

to CITA the authority under section 

203(o)(4) of CAFTA–DR Implementation 

Act for modifying the Annex 3.25 list. 

Pursuant to this authority, CITA 

published modified procedures it would 

follow in considering requests to modify 

the Annex 3.25 list of products 

determined to be not commercially 

available in the territory of any Party to 

CAFTA–DR (Modifications to 

Procedures for Considering Requests 

Under the Commercial Availability 

Provision of the Dominican Republic– 

Central America–United States Free 

Trade Agreement, 73 FR 53200 

(September 15, 2008)) (‘‘CITA’s 

procedures’’). 

On July 20, 2011, the Chairman of 

CITA received a request from Parkdale 

Mills and Buhler Quality Yarns for a 

Commercial Availability determination 

to remove or restrict (‘‘Request’’) certain 

compacted, plied, ring spun cotton 

yarns, currently on Annex 3.25. 

Parkdale Mills and Buhler Quality 

Yarns offered to supply yarns 

substitutable for the specified yarns and 

provided documentation demonstrating 

their ability to supply commercial 

quantities in a timely manner. On July 

22, 2011, in accordance with CITA’s 

procedures, CITA notified interested 

parties of the Request, which was 

posted on the dedicated Web site for 

CAFTA–DR Commercial Availability 

proceedings. In its notification, CITA 

advised that any Response to the 

Request (‘‘Response’’) must be 

submitted by August 3, 2011, and any 

Rebuttal Comments to a Response 

(‘‘Rebuttal’’) must be submitted by 

August 9, 2011, in accordance with 

Sections 6, 7 and 9 of CITA’s 

procedures. No interested entity 

submitted a Response advising CITA of 

its objection to the Request. 

In accordance with section 

203(o)(4)(C) of the CAFTA–DR 

Implementation Act, Section 8(a) and 

(b), and Section 9(c)(1) of CITA’s 

procedures, as no interested entity 

submitted a Response objecting to the 

Request, CITA has determined to 

remove the subject product from Annex 

3.25. Pursuant to Section 9(c)(3)(iii)(A), 

textile and apparel articles containing 

the subject product are not to be treated 

as originating in a CAFTA–DR country 

if the subject product is obtained from 

non-CAFTA–DR sources, effective for 

goods entered into the United States on 

or after 180 calendar days after the date 

of publication of this notice. A revised 

list in Annex 3.25, noting the effective 

date of the removal of the subject 

product, has been posted on the 

dedicated Web site for CAFTA–DR 

Commercial Availability proceedings.
