SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Authority: Section 203(o)(4) of the 

Dominican Republic-Central America-United 

States Free Trade Agreement Implementation 

Act (CAFTA-DR Act); the Statement of 

Administrative Action (SAA), accompanying 

the CAFTA-DR Act; 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. Articles that otherwise meet the 

rule of origin to qualify for preferential 

treatment are not disqualified because 

they contain one of the products on the 

Annex 3.25 list. 

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. The CAFTA-DR Act states 

that the President will make a 

determination on whether additional 

fabrics, yarns, and fibers are available in 

commercial quantities in a timely 

manner in the territory of any Party. 

The CAFTA-DR 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 the CAFTA-DR Act for 

modifying the Annex 3.25 list. On 

March 21, 2007, CITA published final 

procedures it would follow in 

considering requests to modify the 

Annex 3.25 list (72 FR 13256). 

On July 6, 2007, the Chairman of 

CITA received a request from Sandler, 

Travis & Rosenberg, P.A., on behalf of 

their client, Garan Manufacturing, for 

certain circular knit, three-end fleece 

fabrics of the specifications detailed 

below. On July 10, 2007, CITA notified 

interested parties of, and posted on its 

website, the accepted request and 

requested that any interested entity 

provide, by July 20, 2007, a response 

advising of its objection to the request 

or its ability to supply the subject 

product, and rebuttals to responses by 

July 26, 2007. 

No interested entity filed a response 

advising of its objection to the request 

or its ability to supply the subject 

product. 

In accordance with Section 

203(o)(4)(C)(iii)(II) of the CAFTA-DR 

Act, and its procedures, as no interested 

entity submitted a response objecting to 

the request or expressing an ability to 

supply the subject product, CITA has 

determined to add the specified fabrics 

to the list in Annex 3.25 of the CAFTADR Agreement. 

The subject fabrics are added to the 

list in Annex 3.25 of the CAFTA-DR 

Agreement in unrestricted quantities. A 

revised list has been published on-line.

collected; and 

• Minimize the burden of collection 

of information on those who are to 

respond, including through the use of

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology; e.g., permitting 

electronic submission of responses. 

Burden of Statement: The respondent 

burden for this collection is estimated to 

average .83 hours per response. These 

estimates include the time needed to 

review instructions; develop, acquire,

instructions and requirements; train 

personnel to be able to respond to a 

collection of information; and transmit 

or otherwise disclose the information.

11,006. 

Estimated number of responses: 

13,118. 

Estimated total Annual Burden on 

Respondents: 57 hours.
