SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Authority: The CAFTA–DR Agreement; 

Section 203(o)(4) of the Dominican RepublicCentral America-United States Free Trade 

Agreement Implementation Act (‘‘CAFTA– 

DR Implementation Act’’), Pub. Law 109–53; 

the Statement of Administrative Action, 

accompanying the CAFTA–DR 

Implementation Act; and 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. 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. See 

Annex 3.25 of the CAFTA–DR 

Agreement; see also section 203(o)(4)(C) 

of the CAFTA–DR Implementation Act. 

The CAFTA–DR Implementation 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 CAFTA–DR Implementation 

Act for modifying the Annex 3.25 list. 

Pursuant to this authority, on September 

15, 2008, CITA published modified 

procedures it would follow in 

considering requests to modify the 

Annex 3.25 list of products determined 

to be not commercially available in the 

territory of any Party to CAFTA–DR 

(Modifications to Procedures for 

Considering Requests Under the 

Commercial Availability Provision of 

the Dominican Republic-Central 

America-United States Free Trade 

Agreement, 73 FR 53200) (‘‘CITA’s 

procedures’’). 

On November 10, 2011, the Chairman 

of CITA received a request for a 

Commercial Availability determination 

(‘‘Request’’) from Sorini Samet & 

Associates, on behalf of Hansoll Textile, 

Ltd. for certain cotton/nylon/spandex 

raschel knit, open crepe, piece dyed 

fabric, as specified below. On November 

15, 2011, in accordance with CITA’s 

procedures, CITA notified interested 

parties of the Request, which was 

posted on the dedicated Web site for 

CAFTA–DR Commercial Availability 

proceedings. In its notification, CITA 

advised that any Response with an Offer 

to Supply (‘‘Response’’) must be 

submitted by November 28, 2011, and 

any Rebuttal Comments to a Response 

(‘‘Rebuttal’’) must be submitted by 

December 2, 2011, in accordance with 

sections 6 and 7 of CITA’s procedures. 

No interested entity submitted a 

Response to the Request advising CITA 

of its objection to the Request and its 

ability to supply the subject product. 

In accordance with section 

203(o)(4)(C) of the CAFTA–DR 

Implementation Act, and section 8(c)(2) 

of CITA’s procedures, as no interested 

entity submitted a Response objecting to 

the Request and demonstrating its 

ability to supply the subject product, 

CITA has determined to add the 

specified fabric to the list in Annex 3.25 

of the CAFTA–DR Agreement. 

The subject product has been added 

to the list in Annex 3.25 of the CAFTA– 

DR Agreement in unrestricted 

quantities. A revised list has been 

posted on the dedicated Web site for 

CAFTA–DR Commercial Availability 

proceedings.
