specific types of textiles and apparel

products that are most likely to be

produced in Sub-Saharan African

countries, and which would have the

most significant impact on U.S.

producers, workers, and consumers. As

Commission will seek to provide its

advice not later than September 2, 1997.

Background

Among the provisions in H.R. 4198 is

one relating to increased U.S. market

access for textiles and apparel from SubSaharan Africa. According to the

Committee’s request, Sub-Saharan

Africa supplied less than 1 percent, or

about $400 million, of U.S. imports of

textiles and apparel in 1995. H.R. 4198

provides that, until imports of these

articles from Sub-Saharan Africa reach a

much higher level, the transitional

safeguards provided in Article 6 of the

Uruguay Round Agreement on Textiles

and Clothing should not apply. In

addition, H.R. 4198 would eliminate

existing U.S. quotas on imports of

textiles and apparel from Sub-Saharan

Africa. The Sub-Saharan African

countries currently covered by U.S.

textiles and apparel quotas are Kenya

and Mauritius.

The Sub-Saharan African countries

covered in this investigation include the

following 48 countries: Angola, Benin,

Botswana, Burkina Faso, Burundi,

Cameroon, Cape Verde, Central African

Republic, Chad, Comoros, Congo, Coˆte

d’Ivoire, Djibouti, Equatorial Guinea,

Eritrea, Ethiopia, Gabon, The Gambia,

Ghana, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Kenya,

Lesotho, Liberia, Madagascar, Malawi,

Mali, Mauritania, Mauritius,

Mozambique, Namibia, Niger, Nigeria,

Rwanda, Sa ̃o Tome ́ and Principe,

Senegal, Seychelles, Sierra Leone,

Somalia, South Africa, Sudan,

Swaziland, Togo, Tanzania, Uganda,

Zaire, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.

this investigation is scheduled to begin

JUDICIAL CONFERENCE OF THE

UNITED STATES

Committee on Automation and

Technology; Notice of Opportunity To

Comment and of Public Hearing on the

ABA Citation Resolution

AGENCY: Judicial Conference of the

United States, Committee on

Automation and Technology.

ACTION: Notice of opportunity to

comment and of public hearing on the

ABA Citation Resolution.

In August 1996, the American Bar

Association (ABA) approved a

resolution made by its Special

Committee on Citation Issues calling for

state and federal courts to develop a

standard citation system and

recommending a format that could be

used by state and federal courts. That

resolution calls for courts to identify the

citation on each decision at the time it

is made available to the public. The

ABA resolution is available through the

Internet (http://www.ABANET.ORG/

citation/home.html).

The federal judiciary seeks written

public comments from judges, court

personnel, the bar, and the public as to:

(1) Whether the federal courts should

adopt the form of official citation for

court decisions recommended by the

ABA resolution; and,

(2) The costs and benefits such a

decision would have on the courts, the

bar, and the public.

In addition, a public hearing will be

held on Thursday, April 3, beginning at

9 a.m. in the ceremonial courtroom of

the U.S. District Court for the District of

Columbia, 3rd and Constitution Ave.,

N.W., Washington, D.C. to address

issues (1) and (2) stated above.

Persons and organizations wishing to

submit written comments should do so

by sending them to: Appellate Court and

Circuit Administration Division, ATTN:

ABA Citation Resolution, Suite 4–512,

Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts,

Washington, D.C. 20544, Fax (202) 273–

1555. Internet address:

citation@ao.uscourts.gov.

Submission of written comments is

preferred in electronic form and should

be sent to citation@ao.uscourts.gov in

ASCII or WordPerfect 6.1 or earlier

versions. Alternatively, comments may

be submitted in printed form through

mail or facsimile. Persons without

access to Internet may send a diskette.

If printed comments are submitted, ten

copies should be provided. Written

comments are due no later than Friday,

March 14, 1997. All comments received

will be considered public information.

Anyone submitting written comments

who also is interested in testifying at the
8038 Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 35 / Friday, February 21, 1997 / Notices

public hearing should submit a written

request to the above address no later

than Friday, March 14, 1997. Since it is

expected that only a limited number of

requests can be granted, the request

should set forth reasons why an oral

presentation in addition to written

comments would be helpful to

consideration of these issues. The

request should identify the persons who

wish to testify, the subjects to be

addressed, the estimated amount of time

desired (the maximum is 15 minutes),

and the organization represented, phone

number, and fax number. If possible,

advance copies of testimony should be

submitted.

Any questions about this notice may

be directed to Joan Countryman at (202)

Drug Enforcement Administration

[Docket No. 95–29]

Roger D. McAlpin, D.M.D., Grant of

Restricted Registration

On March 7, 1995, the Deputy

Assistant Administrator, Office of

Diversion Control, Drug Enforcement

Administration (DEA) issued an Order

to Show Cause to Roger McAlpin,

D.M.D. (Respondent) of Louisville,

Kentucky, notifying him of an

opportunity to show cause as to why

DEA should not deny his application for

registration as a practitioner under 21

U.S.C. 823(f), for reason that such

registration would be inconsistent with

the public interest.

By letter dated March 29, 1995, the

Respondent, acting pro se, timely filed

a request for a hearing, and following

prehearing procedures, a hearing was

held in Louisville, Kentucky on

February 21, 1996, before

Administrative Law Judge Mary Ellen

Bittner. At the hearing, both parties

called witnesses to testify and the

Government introduced documentary

evidence. After the hearing, the

Government submitted proposed

findings of fact, conclusions of law and

argument. On July 3, 1996, Judge Bittner

issued her Opinion and Recommended

Ruling. Findings of Fact, Conclusions of

Law and Decision, recommending that

Respondent’s application for a DEA

Certificate of Registration should be

granted in Schedules III non-narcotic, IV

and V subject to various restrictions. On

July 22, 1996, the Government filed

exceptions to the Recommended Ruling

of the Administrative Law Judge, and on

August 6, 1996, Judge Bittner

transmitted the record of these

proceedings, including the

Government’s exceptions to the Deputy

Administrator.

The Acting Deputy Administrator has

considered the record in it entirety, and

pursuant to 21 CFR 1316.67, hereby

issues his final order based upon

findings of fact and conclusions of law

as hereinafter set forth. The Acting

Deputy Administrator adopts, except as

specifically noted below, the Opinion

and Recommended Ruling, Findings of

Fact, Conclusions of Law and Decision

of the Administrative Law Judge. The

Acting Deputy Administrator’s adoption

is in no manner diminished by any

recitation of facts, issues and

conclusions herein, or of any failure to

mention a matter of fact or law.

The Acting Deputy Administrator

finds that Respondent received his

D.M.D. degree from the University of

Kentucky in 1979. Following

graduation, Respondent worked for a

non-profit dental clinic in California for

approximately two years. Over the

ensuing years, Respondent practiced

dentistry at various times in Kentucky,

Illinois and Tennessee.

According to Respondent, he began

using cocaine recreationally while in

dental school. He testified that he quit

using cocaine after graduation, but then

resumed using cocaine and other

controlled substances in 1981.

Respondent quit abusing drugs again

after approximately two years and then

recommenced his abuse in the late

1980’s. According to Respondent, in

April 1988 he entered into a 30-day inpatient rehabilitation treatment facility.

Following his discharge from the

facility, he continued to attend

Narcotics Anonymous and Alcoholics

Anonymous meetings three to four

nights a week. Subsequently,

Respondent concluded that he was

cured of his addiction, stopped

attending support meetings, and broke

off all contact with his sponsor.

In 1989, Respondent was working for

a dental clinic in Tennessee which was

owned by an individual who was not a

dentist. In November 1989, the

Tennessee Department of Health and

Environment, Health Related Boards

initiated an investigation of Respondent

after receiving a complaint from a local

pharmacist that Respondent was

possibly overprescribing and

distributing controlled substances. A

review of Respondent’s prescriptions

revealed that several of Respondent’s

patients had received Schedule II
