authorize decommissioning of its Bay 

City, Michigan site was previously 

noticed in the Federal Register on July 

19, 1996, and July 10, 1997. 

In letters dated July 21, 1997, April 

13, 2005 and October 6, 2005, TDCC 

provided final radiological status 

surveys to demonstrate that the site met 

the license termination criteria in 10 

CFR part 20 subpart E. NRC staff 

conducted numerous inspections and 

confirmatory surveys including the 

collection of samples and independent 

measurements of on-site soils and 

building surfaces. 

The NRC staff evaluated TDCC’s 

requests and reviewed the results of the 

final radiological surveys. Based on 

those reviews, the staff determined that 

the site met the unrestricted release 

criteria in 10 CFR part 20 subpart E. The 

staff prepared a Safety Evaluation 

Report (SER) (ADAMS ML062500107) to 

support its termination of TDCC’s Bay 

City license. 

II. Further Information 

In accordance with 10 CFR part 2.790 

of the NRC’s ‘‘Rules of Practice,’’ details 

with respect to this action, including the 

SER, are available electronically at the 

NRC’s Electronic Reading Room at

OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES 

TRADE REPRESENTATIVE 

Generalized System of Preferences 

(GSP): Import Statistics Relating to 

Competitive Need Limitations; 2006 

Annual GSP Review; Petitions 

Requesting CNL Waivers 

AGENCY: Office of the United States 

Trade Representative. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: This notice is to inform the 

public of the availability of eight-month 

2006 import statistics relating to 

competitive need limitations (CNLs) 

under the Generalized System of 

Preferences (GSP) program. The eightmonth 2006 import statistics identify 

those articles for which the 2006 trade 

levels may exceed statutory CNLs. The 

interim trade data is available at: 

http://www.ustr.gov/ 

Trade_Development/ 

Preference_Programs/GSP/ 

Section_Index.html. 

As previously announced in the 

Federal Register (71 FR 37129 (June 29, 

2006)), the deadline for submission of 

product petitions to waive the CNLs for 

individual beneficiary developing 

countries with respect to GSP-eligible 

articles is 5 p.m., November 17, 2006. 

Petitions must conform to the 

requirements as set forth in the June 29, 

2006 Federal Register notice. Public 

comments regarding possible de 

minimis waivers and possible GSP 

redesignations will be requested in a 

subsequent Federal Register notice. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Contact the GSP Subcommittee of the 

Trade Policy Staff Committee, Office of 

the United States Trade Representative, 

1724 F Street, NW., Room F–220, 

Washington, DC 20508. The telephone 

number is (202) 395–6971. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Competitive Need Limitations 

The GSP program provides for the 

duty-free importation of designated 

articles when imported from designated 

beneficiary developing countries 

(BDCs). The GSP program is authorized 

by title V of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 

U.S.C. 2461, et seq.), as amended (the 

‘‘1974 Act’’), and is implemented in 

accordance with Executive Order 11888 

of November 24, 1975, as modified by 

subsequent Executive Orders and 

Presidential Proclamations. 

Section 503(c)(2)(A) of the 1974 Act 

sets out the two competitive need 

limitations (CNLs). When the President 

determines that a BDC exported to the 

United States during a calendar year 

either (1) a quantity of a GSP-eligible 

article having a value in excess of the 

applicable amount for that year ($125 

million for 2006), or (2) a quantity of a 

GSP-eligible article having a value equal 

to or greater than 50 percent of the value 

of total U.S. imports of the article from 

all countries (the ‘‘50 percent CNL’’), the 

President must terminate GSP duty-free 

treatment for that article from that BDC 

by no later than July 1 of the next 

calendar year. 

Under section 503(c)(2)(F) of the 1974 

Act, the President may also waive the 50 

percent CNL with respect to an eligible 

article imported from a BDC if the value 

of total imports of that article from all 

countries during the calendar year did 

not exceed the applicable de minimis 

amount for that year ($18 million for 

2006). Further, under section 

503(c)(2)(C) of the 1974 Act, if imports 

of an eligible article from a BDC ceased 

to receive duty-free treatment due to 

exceeding a CNL in a prior year, the 

President may redesignate such an 

article for duty free treatment if imports 

in the most recently completed year did 

not exceed the CNLs. Comments on de 

minimis waivers and redesignations will 

be requested after publication of a 

separate Federal Register notice. 

Section 505 of the 1974 Act states that 

duty-free treatment provided under the 

GSP shall not remain in effect after 

December 31, 2006. If the program 

expires without reauthorization on that 

date, the 2006 Annual GSP review will 

be conducted according to a schedule to 

be issued in the Federal Register, if and 

when the program is reauthorized. 

II. Implementation of Competitive Need 

Limitations 

Exclusions from GSP duty-free 

treatment where CNLs have been 

exceeded will be effective July 1, 2007, 

unless previously granted a waiver by 

the President. CNL exclusions will be 

based on full 2006 calendar year import 

statistics. 

III. Interim 2006 Import Statistics 

In order to provide advance notice of 

articles that may exceed the CNLs for 

2006, ‘‘Interim 2006 Import Statistics 

Relating to Competitive Need 

Limitations’’ that cover the first eight 

months of 2006 can be viewed at: 

http://www.ustr.gov/ 

Trade_Development/ 

Preference_Program/GSP/ 

Section_Index.html. If unable to access 

these statistics, contact the GSP 

Subcommittee of the Trade Policy Staff 

Committee, which will make alternate 

arrangements to provide the lists. Full 

calendar-year 2006 data for individual 

tariff subheadings will be available in 

February 2007 on the Web site of the 

U.S. International Trade Commission at 

http://dataweb.usitc.gov/. 

The Interim 2006 Statistics are 

organized to show, for each article, the 

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States (HTSUS) subheading and 

BDC of origin, the value of imports of 

the article for the first eight months of 

2006, and the percentage of total 

imports of that article from all countries. 

The list includes the GSP-eligible 

articles from BDCs that have already 

exceeded the CNLs by their import 

levels amounting to more than $125 

million, or by an amount greater than 

50% of the total value of U.S. imports 

of that product in 2006. The list also 

includes GSP-eligible articles that, 

based upon interim eight-month 2006 

data, exceed $95 million dollars, or an 

amount greater than 42 percent of the
