Species Covered in This Notice 

This notice is relevant to Federally 

endangered Sacramento River winterrun Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus 

tshawytscha), threatened Central Valley 

spring-run Chinook salmon (O. 

tshawytscha), threatened Central Valley 

steelhead (O. mykiss), and threatened 

Southern Distinct Population Segment 

of North American green sturgeon 

(Acipenser medirostris). 

Applications Received 

Mr. David A. Vogel requests a 2–year 

permit 1597 for an estimated take of 

7,313 juvenile winter-run Chinook 

Salmon, 1,802 juvenile spring-run 

Chinook Salmon, and 204 juvenile 

Central Valley steelhead per year to 

quantified site-specific characteristics at 

each of 4 pre-selected diversion sites to 

fish entrainment. This research will 

correlate fish entrainment with 

physical, hydraulic, and habitat 

variables during irrigation diversion 

periods over a two-year period. Mr. 

Vogel requests authorization for an 

estimated total take of 9,319 juveniles 

(with 100 percent incidental mortality) 

per year resulting from the collection of 

fish diverted out of their natural habitat. 

Sampling will be continuously from 

April 1 through October 31 each year for 

two years at the RD 108 Tyndall Mound 

Diversion (lat. 38°54′30′′ N, long. 

121°48′42′′ W), RD 108 Howell’s 

Landing Diversion (lat. 38° 55′44′ N, 

long. 121° 50′14′′ W), RD 108 Boyers 

Bend Diversion (lat. 38°57′15′′ N, long. 

121°50′27′′ W), and Feather Water 

District North Diversion (lat. 39°02′44′′ 

N, long. 121°36′37′′ W) located in the 

Sacramento and Feather Rivers. If any 

listed species are collected alive they 

will be immediately returned into rivers 

outside the influence of the diversion 

pumps. Individuals are measured and 

identified to species or run. Mr. Vogel 

will take a total of 192 juveniles of the 

threatened Southern Distinct Population 

Segment of North American green 

sturgeon (with 100 percent incidental 

mortality). This research will provide 

information to natural resource 

managers in the implementation of the 

Central Valley Project Fish Screen 

Program to better protect listed species.

Implementation of Textile Agreements 

(CITA). 

ACTION: Amending the 12-Month Cap on 

Duty and Quota Free Benefits. 

EFFECTIVE DATE: January 22, 2007. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Richard Stetson, International Trade 

Specialist, Office of Textiles and 

Apparel, U.S. Department of Commerce, 

(202) 482-3400. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Authority: Section 3103 of the Trade Act 

of 2002; Title VII of the Tax Relief and Health 

Care Act of 2006 (TRHCA 2006); Presidential 

Proclamation 7616 of October 31, 2002 (67 

FR 67283). 

Section 3103 of the Trade Act of 2002 

amended the Andean Trade Preference 

Act (ATPA) to provide for duty and 

quota-free treatment for certain textile 

and apparel articles imported from 

designated Andean Trade Promotion 

and Drug Eradication Act (ATPDEA) 

beneficiary countries. Section 

204(b)(3)(B)(iii) of the amended ATPA 

provides duty- and quota-free treatment 

for certain apparel articles assembled in 

ATPDEA beneficiary countries from 

regional fabric and components, subject 

to quantitative limitation. More 

specifically, this provision applies to 

apparel articles sewn or otherwise 

assembled in one or more ATPDEA 

beneficiary countries from fabrics or 

from fabric components formed or from 

components knit-to-shape, in one or 

more ATPDEA beneficiary countries, 

from yarns wholly formed in the United 

States or one or more ATPDEA 

beneficiary countries (including fabrics 

not formed from yarns, if such fabrics 

are classifiable under heading 5602 and 

5603 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule 

(HTS) and are formed in one or more 

ATPDEA beneficiary countries). Such 

apparel articles may also contain certain 

other eligible fabrics, fabric 

components, or components knit-toshape. 

The TRHCA of 2006 extended the 

expiration of the ATPA to June 30, 2007. 

See Section 7002(a) of the TRHCA 2006. 

The purpose of the notice is to extend 

the period of the quantitative limitation 

for preferential tariff treatment under 

the regional fabric provision for imports 

of qualifying apparel articles through 

June 30, 2007. See Limitations of Dutyand Quota-Free Imports of Apparel 

Articles Assembled in Beneficiary 

ATPDEA Countries from Regional 

Country Fabric, published in the 

Federal Register on September 26, 2006. 

(71 FR 56110). 

For the period beginning on October 

1, 2006 and extending through June 30, 

2007, the aggregate quantity of imports 

eligible for preferential treatment under 

the regional fabric provision is 

1,164,288,418 square meters equivalent. 

Apparel articles entered in excess of this 

quantity will be subject to otherwise 

applicable tariffs. 

This quantity is calculated using the 

aggregate square meter equivalents of all 

apparel articles imported into the 

United States, derived from the set of 

Harmonized System lines listed in the 

Annex to the World Trade Organization 

Agreement on Textiles and Clothing 

(ATC), and the conversion factors for 

units of measure into square meter 

equivalents used by the United States in 

implementing the ATC.

Chairman, Committee for the Implementation 

of Textile Agreements.
