Background: The Commission issued 

an earlier version of this notice on May 

3, 2007, and sent copies to parties 

believed to have an interest in the 

matter. The notice requested that parties 

with an interest in the matter file any 

written submissions by May 16, 2007. 

However, due to a technical error, the 

notice was not published in the Federal 

Register. In view of that error, the 

Commission has extended to the close 

of business May 29, 2007, the due date 

for filing any written submissions. 

Parties that have already filed 

submissions may amend or supplement 

such submissions, provided they do so 

on or before the close of business May 

29, 2007, and in the manner provided 

for below. 

Annex 300–B, Chapter 4, and Annex 

401 of the NAFTA contain the rules of 

origin for textiles and apparel for 

application of the tariff provisions of the 

NAFTA. These rules are set forth for the 

United States in general note 12 to the 

Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS). 

According to the USTR’s letter, U.S. 

negotiators have recently reached 

agreements in principle with 

representatives of the Governments of 

Canada and Mexico concerning 

proposed modifications to the NAFTA 

rules of origin for certain sanitary 

articles and nonwoven wipes, and the 

Government of Canada only concerning 

a proposed modification to the NAFTA 

rule of origin for certain chenille fabrics. 

If implemented, the proposed rules 

changes would apply only to U.S. 

imports from and U.S. exports to the 

NAFTA parties in agreement with the 

rules changes. Section 202(q) of the 

North American Free Trade Agreement 

Implementation Act (the Act) authorizes 

the President, subject to the 

consultation and layover requirements 

of section 103 of the Act, to proclaim 

such modifications to the rules of origin 

as are necessary to implement an 

agreement with one or more of the 

NAFTA countries pursuant to paragraph 

2 of section 7 of Annex 300–B of the 

Agreement. One of the requirements of 

section 103 of the Act is that the 

President obtain advice regarding the 

proposed actions from the Commission. 

The USTR requested that the 

Commission provide advice on the 

probable effect of the proposed 

modifications of the NAFTA rules of 

origin for the specified articles on U.S. 

trade under the NAFTA, on total U.S.

trade, and on domestic producers of the 

affected articles. As requested, the 

Commission will provide its advice to 

the USTR by June 15, 2007, and will 

issue a public version of its report 

shortly thereafter, with any confidential 

business information deleted. 

The goods of Canada and Mexico 

covered by this investigation, as 

presented in part I of the attachment to 

the USTR’s letter, are sanitary towels or 

tampons classified in HTS subheading 

5601.10 and nonwoven wipes classified 

in HTS subheadings 5603.91–5603.94 

that are made from viscose rayon staple 

fibers of HTS subheading 5504.10. The 

goods of Canada only that are covered 

by this investigation, as presented in 

part II of the USTR’s attachment, are 

chenille fabrics classified in HTS 

subheading 5801.36 and made from 

acrylic fibers classified in HTS 

subheading 5503.30. The USTR’s letter 

and attachment can be viewed on the 

Commission’s Internet server at http:// 

www.usitc.gov/edis.htm. The current 

NAFTA rules of origin applicable to 

U.S. imports can be found in general 

note 12 of the 2007 HTS (see ‘‘General 

Notes’’ link at http://www.usitc.gov/ 

tata/hts/bychapter/index.htm). 

Written Submissions: No public 

hearing is planned. However, interested 

parties are invited to submit written 

statements concerning the matters to be 

addressed by the Commission in its 

report on this investigation. 

Submissions should be addressed to the 

Secretary to the Commission. To be 

assured of consideration by the 

Commission, written statements related 

to the investigation should be submitted 

to the Commission at the earliest 

practical date and should be received no 

later than the close of business on May 

29, 2007. All written submissions must 

conform with the provisions of section 

201.8 of the Commission’s Rules of 

Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 201.8). 

Section 201.8 of the rules requires that 

a signed original (or copy designated as 

an original) and fourteen (14) copies of 

each document be filed. In the event 

that confidential treatment of the 

document is requested, at least four (4) 

additional copies must be filed, in 

which the confidential business 

information must be deleted (see the 

following paragraph for further 

information regarding confidential 

business information). The 

Commission’s rules authorize filing 

submissions with the Secretary by 

facsimile or electronic means only to the 

extent permitted by section 201.8 of the 

rules (see Handbook for Electronic 

Filing Procedures, http://www.usitc.gov/ 

secretary/fed_reg_notices/rules/

documents/handbook_on_electronic_

filing.pdf). Persons with questions 

regarding electronic filing should 

contact the Secretary (202–205–2000 or 

edis@usitc.gov). 

Any submissions that contain 

confidential business information must 

also conform with the requirements of 

section 201.6 of the Commission’s Rules 

of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 

201.6). Section 201.6 of the rules 

requires that the cover of the document 

and the individual pages be clearly 

marked as to whether they are the 

‘‘confidential’’ or ‘‘nonconfidential’’

version, and that the confidential 

business information be clearly 

identified by means of brackets. All 

written submissions, except for 

confidential business information, will 

be made available in the Office of the 

Secretary to the Commission for 

inspection by interested parties. 

The Commission may include some or 

all of the confidential business 

information submitted in the course of 

this investigation in the report it sends 

to the USTR and the President. 

However, the Commission will not 

publish such confidential business 

information in the public version of its 

report in a manner that would reveal the 

operations of the firm supplying the 

information. 

Issued: May 18, 2007. 

By order of the Commission.

Secretary to the Commission.
