Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 89 / Wednesday, May 9, 2007 / Notices 26335 

Agency Form Number: None. 

OMB Number: None. 

Type of Request: Emergency 

submission. 

Burden Hours: 10. 

Number of Respondents: 10. 

Average Hours Per Response: 1. 

Needs and Uses: The Tax Relief and 

Heath Care Act of 2006 (‘‘the Act’’) 

contains provisions to assist the men’s 

and boys’’ cotton shirting industry. 

Among these provisions, the Act creates 

an annual tariff rate quota (TRQ) 

providing for temporary reductions 

through December 31, 2009 in the 

import duties of cotton woven fabrics 

suitable for making men’s and boys’

cotton shirts (new Harmonized Tariff 

Schedule of the United States (HTS) 

headings 9902.52.08, 9902.52.09, 

9902.52.10, 9902.52.11, 9902.52.12, 

9902.52.13, 9902.52.14, 9902.52.15, 

9902.52.16, 9902.52.17, 9902.52.18, and 

9902.52.19). The reduction in duty is 

limited to 85 percent of the total square 

meter equivalents of all imported woven 

fabrics of cotton containing 85 percent 

or more by weight cotton used by 

manufacturers in cutting and sewing 

men’s and boy’s cotton shirts in the 

United States and purchased by such 

manufacturer during calendar year 

2000. 

Section 406(b)(1) of the Act requires 

the Secretary of Commerce to fairly 

allocate the tariff rate quota. More 

specifically, the Secretary of Commerce 

must issue licenses and ensure that the 

tariff rate quota is fairly allocated to 

eligible manufacturers under such 

headings 9902.52.08 through 

9902.52.19. The TRQ is effective for 

goods entered or withdrawn from 

warehouse for consumption, on or after 

January 1, 2007, and will remain in 

force through 2009. The TRQ will be 

allocated each year and a TRQ 

allocation will be valid only in the year 

for which it is issued. 

The reduction of import duties 

provided by the TRQ will be of 

considerable benefit to firms that 

receive TRQ allocations. It will lower 

the firms’ cost of production, enabling 

them to better compete with foreign 

imports. 

The Department of Commerce has 

prepared, and will transmit to OMB for 

approval, an interim final rule to 

implement these responsibilities. The 

major firms that stand to benefit from 

the TRQ were consulted during this 

process. 

The Department must collect a 

notarized affidavit in order to carry out 

its responsibilities under the Act 

pursuant to Section 406(b)(3) of the Act 

. 

Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations. 

Frequency: Annually.
