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. 

Title VII of the Tax Relief and Health 

Care Act (TRHCA) of 2006, Pub L. No.

The purpose of this 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 from 

Colombia and Ecuador for a six-week 

period, through February 12, 2011. With 

respect to qualifying apparel articles

For the period beginning on October 

1, 2010 and extending through February

imports eligible for preferential 

treatment under the regional fabric 

provision is 1,238,203,339 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

212 of the Consumer Product Safety 

Improvement Act of 2008 (Pub. L. 110– 

314) (‘‘CPSIA’’) requires the Commission 

to establish and maintain a product 

safety information database that is 

available to the public. Specifically, 

section 212 of the CPSIA amended the 

Consumer Product Safety Act (‘‘CPSA’’) 

to create a new section 6A of the CPSA, 

titled ‘‘Publicly Available Consumer 

Product Safety Information Database’’ 

(‘‘Database’’). Section 6A(a)(1) of the 

CPSA requires the Commission to 

establish and maintain a database on the 

safety of consumer products, and other 

products or substances regulated by the 

Commission. The Database must be 

publicly available, searchable, and 

accessible through the Commission’s 

Web site. 

In the Federal Register of December 9, 

2010 (75 FR 76832), we published a 

final rule to establish the Database. The 

final rule will become effective on 

January 10, 2011. 

Through this notice, we are 

announcing that we will conduct two 

Web conferences to demonstrate certain 

aspects of the Database. The first Web 

conference, which will be held on 

January 11, 2011, will focus on the 

incident form that the public will use to 

file a report of harm and the search 

function of the Database. The Web 

conference is intended to inform all 

interested stakeholders of the 

information required on the form to be 

used to report an incident, in addition 

to an explanation of the public search 

function of the Database. 

The second Web conference, which 

will be held on January 20, 2011, will 

focus on the industry registration and 

comment features, the process for 

reporting incidents, and the public 

search component of the Database. 

Persons interested in viewing either 

Web conference or attending a webcast 

in person should register in advance as 

explained in the ADDRESSES section of 

this notice. The CPSC Web link at
