File No. 17367: The permit holder is 

issued a five year permit to study 

captive shortnose and Atlantic sturgeon 

to conduct scientific research 

facilitating the development of new 

methods needed for achieving species 

recovery in four facilities located in the 

Southeast Region of the USFWS. 

Research would include, but is not 

limited to, nutrition, physiology, 

propagation, contaminants, genetics, 

fish health, cryopreservation, tagging, 

refugia, as well as, collaborative 

research with other researchers. 

Additionally, work with captive animals 

would examine abiotic factors (e.g., pH, 

temperature, salinity dissolved oxygen, 

etc.) potentially influencing distribution 

and abundance in the wild. 

File No. 17364: The permit holder is 

issued a five year permit to refine 

propagation and culture techniques of 

captive Atlantic sturgeon held in refugia 

at the USFWS’s Northeast Fisheries 

Center, providing a source of research 

animals for studies related to tagging, 

tracking, behavior, physiology, genetics, 

health, cryopreservation, and other 

methods for population conservation, 

recovery, or enhancement of the species 

in the wild. 

Issuance of this permit, as required by 

the ESA, was based on a finding that 

such permit (1) Was applied for in good 

faith, (2) will not operate to the 

disadvantage of such endangered or 

threatened species, and (3) is consistent 

with the purposes and policies set forth 

in section 2 of the ESA.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Authority: The CAFTA–DR 

Agreement; Section 203(o)(4) of the 

Dominican Republic-Central AmericaUnited States Free Trade Agreement 

Implementation Act (‘‘CAFTA–DR 

Implementation Act’’), Pub. L. 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, on September 

15, 2008, 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) (‘‘CITA’s 

procedures’’). 

On February 21, 2013, the Chairman 

of CITA received a request for a 

Commercial Availability determination 

(‘‘Request’’) from Sorini Samet & 

Associates LLC on behalf of Garan 

Manufacturing, Inc. for certain piece 

dyed three-thread fleece fabric, as 

specified below. On February 25, 2013, 

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 with an Offer to Supply 

(‘‘Response’’) must be submitted by 

March 7, 2013, and any Rebuttal 

Comments to a Response must be 

submitted by March 13, 2013, in 

accordance with sections 6 and 7 of 

CITA’s procedures. No interested entity 

submitted a Response to the Request 

advising CITA of its objection to the 

Request and its ability to supply the 

subject product. 

In accordance with section 

203(o)(4)(C) of the CAFTA–DR 

Implementation Act, and section 8(c)(2) 

of CITA’s procedures, as no interested 

entity submitted a Response objecting to 

the Request and providing an offer to 

supply the subject product, CITA has 

determined to add the specified fabric to 

the list in Annex 3.25 of the CAFTA– 

DR Agreement. 

The subject product has been added 

to the list in Annex 3.25 of the CAFTA– 

DR Agreement in unrestricted 

quantities. A revised list has been 

posted on the dedicated Web site for 

CAFTA–DR Commercial Availability 

proceedings.
