5408 and products classified in HTSUS 

chapter 58 should be modified to allow 

the use of non-North American filament 

yarns of cellulose acetate. 

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 

filament yarn of cellulose acetate of 

HTSUS heading 5403 can be supplied 

by the domestic industry in commercial 

quantities in a timely manner. 

Comments must be submitted by 

September 20, 2006 to the Chairman, 

Committee for the Implementation of 

Textile Agreements, Room 3001, United 

States Department of Commerce, 

Washington, D.C. 20230.

Martin J. Walsh, International Trade 

Specialist, Office of Textiles and 

Apparel, U.S. Department of Commerce, 

(202) 482-2818. 

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 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 

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 

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. 

On July 21, 2006 the Government of 

the United States received a request 

from the Government of Mexico alleging 

that filament yarn of cellulose acetate, 

classified in heading 5403 of the 

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States (HTSUS), cannot be 

supplied by the Mexican industry in 

commercial quantities in a timely 

manner and requesting that the 

governments of Canada and the United 

States consult to consider whether the 

NAFTA rule of origin for woven fabrics 

classified under HTSUS heading 5408 

and products classified in HTSUS 

chapter 58 should be modified to allow 

the use of non-North American filament 

yarns of cellulose acetate. 

CITA is soliciting public comments 

regarding this request, particularly with 

respect to whether filament yarn of 

cellulose acetate can be supplied by the 

domestic industry in commercial 

quantities in a timely manner. 

Comments must be received no later 

than September 20, 2006. 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 filament 

yarn of cellulose acetate 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 filament yarn 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 

non-confidential 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, N.W., Washington, DC 20230. 

Persons submitting comments on a 

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

Chairman, Committee for the Implementation 

of Textile Agreements.

collected in accordance with the 

National Defense Authorization Act for 

Fiscal Year 2001 (Pub. L. 106–398), 

section 723(b)(E). These collection 

instruments serve as applications for 

enrollment in the Primary Care Manager 

(PCM) Change and disenrollment from 

the Department of Defense’s TRICARE 

Prime programs established in 

accordance with Title 10 U.S.C. 1099

retiree enrollment fees for TRICARE 

Prime are established in accordance 

with Title 10 U.S.C. 1097a(c). The 

information collected on the TRICARE 

Prime Enrollment Application/PCM 

Change form provides the necessary

to identify the selection of a health care 

option, and to change the designated 

PCM when the beneficiary is relocating 

or merely requests a local PCM change. 

The information collected on the 

TRICARE Prime disenrollment form 

provides the necessary data to disenroll 

a beneficiary from TRICARE Prime. The 

disenrollment application is needed to 

implement disenrollment from 

TRICARE Prime, TRICARE Prime 

Remote or the Uniformed Services 

Family Health Plan as requested by the 

enrollee. Failure to provide information 

will result in continued enrollment and 

beneficiaries’ responsibility for payment 

of an enrollment fee. 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

households. 

Annual Burden Hours: 22,317. 

Number of Respondents: 72,905. 

Responses Per Respondent: 1. 

Average Burden Per Response:

Application/PCM Change Form: 20 

minutes or .33% of an hour/TRICARE

completing both forms is 18.36 hours or 

.30% of an hour). 

Frequency: On occasion. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Summary of Information Collection 

The Department of Defense 

established TRICARE Prime as a 

managed-care option, similar to a 

civilian HMO (health maintenance 

organization). Active duty service 

members are required to be enrolled in 

TRICARE Prime or TRICARE Prime 

Remote. They must take action to enroll 

by filling out the appropriate enrollment 

form and submitting it to the Managed 

Care Support Contractor (MCSC). 

TRICARE Prime is also available to 

other TRICARE beneficiaries who are 

also required to fill out the appropriate 

enrollment or disenrollment forms. 

TRICARE Prime enrollee’s health care is 

coordinated by a primary care manager 

(PCM) whom could be a part of a 

military treatment facility, a civilian 

network or TRICARE Prime Remote 

where eligible. In order to carry out this 

program, it is necessary that certain 

beneficiaries electing to enroll/disenroll 

in TRICARE Prime, TRICARE Prime 

Remote or change a PCM complete an 

enrollment application request. 

Completion of the enrollment form is an 

essential element of the TRICARE Prime 

program.
