SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

Title II, Section 203(o) of the United 

States-Colombia Trade Promotion 

Agreement Implementation Act (the 

‘‘Act’’) [Pub. L. 112–42] implements the 

commercial availability provision 

provided for in Article 3.3 of the United 

States-Colombia Trade Promotion 

Agreement (the ‘‘Agreement’’). The 

Agreement entered into force on May 

15, 2012. Subject to the rules of origin 

in Annex 4.1 of the Agreement, 

pursuant to the textile provisions of the 

Agreement, fabric, yarn, and fiber 

produced in Colombia or the United 

States and traded between the two 

countries are entitled to duty-free tariff 

treatment. Annex 3–B of the Agreement 

also lists specific fabrics, yarns, and 

fibers that the two countries agreed are 

not available in commercial quantities 

in a timely manner from producers in 

Colombia or the United States. The 

fabrics listed are commercially 

unavailable fabrics, yarns, and fibers, 

which are also entitled to duty-free 

treatment despite not being produced in 

Colombia or the United States. 

The list of commercially unavailable 

fabrics, yarns, and fibers may be 

changed pursuant to the commercial 

availability provision in Chapter 3, 

Article 3.3, Paragraphs 5–7 of the 

Agreement. Under this provision, 

interested entities from Colombia or the 

United States have the right to request 

that a specific fabric, yarn, or fiber be 

added to, or removed from, the list of 

commercially unavailable fabrics, yarns, 

and fibers in Annex 3–B of the 

Agreement. 

Chapter 3, Article 3.3, paragraph 7 of 

the Agreement requires that the 

President ‘‘promptly’’ publish 

procedures for parties to exercise the 

right to make these requests. Section 

203(o)(4) of the Act authorizes the 

President to establish procedures to 

modify the list of fabrics, yarns, or fibers 

not available in commercial quantities 

in a timely manner in either the United 

States or Colombia as set out in Annex 

3–B of the Agreement. The President 

delegated the responsibility for 

publishing the procedures and 

administering commercial availability 

requests to the Committee for the 

Implementation of Textile Agreements 

(‘‘CITA’’), which issues procedures and 

acts on requests through the U.S. 

Department of Commerce, Office of 

Textiles and Apparel (‘‘OTEXA’’) (See 

Proclamation No. 8818, 77 FR 29519, 

May 18, 2012). 

The intent of the U.S.-Colombia TPA 

Commercial Availability Procedures is 

to foster the use of U.S. and regional 

products by implementing procedures 

that allow products to be placed on or 

removed from a product list, on a timely 

basis, and in a manner that is consistent 

with normal business practice. The 

procedures are intended to facilitate the 

transmission of requests; allow the 

market to indicate the availability of the 

supply of products that are the subject 

of requests; make available promptly, to 

interested entities and the public, 

information regarding the requests for 

products and offers received for those 

products; ensure wide participation by 

interested entities and parties; allow for 

careful review and consideration of 

information provided to substantiate 

requests, responses and rebuttals; and 

provide timely public dissemination of 


amozie on DSK3GDR082PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 141 / Monday, July 23, 2018 / Notices 34831 

information used by CITA in making 

commercial availability determinations. 

CITA must collect certain information 

about fabric, yarn, or fiber technical 

specifications and the production 

capabilities of Colombian and U.S. 

textile producers to determine whether 

certain fabrics, yarns, or fibers are 

available in commercial quantities in a 

timely manner in the United States or 

Colombia, subject to Section 203(o) of 

the Act. 

II. Method of Collection 

Participants in a commercial 

availability proceeding must submit 

public versions of their Requests, 

Responses or Rebuttals electronically 

(via email) for posting on OTEXA’s 

website. Confidential versions of those 

submissions which contain business 

confidential information must be 

delivered in hard copy to the Office of 

Textiles and Apparel (OTEXA) at the 

U.S. Department of Commerce.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Section 204(d) of the MagnusonStevens Act (16 U.S.C. 1824(d)) 

authorizes the Secretary of Commerce 

(Secretary) to issue a transshipment 

permit authorizing a vessel other than a 

vessel of the United States to engage in 

fishing consisting solely of transporting 

fish or fish products at sea from a point 

within the United States Exclusive 

Economic Zone (EEZ) or, with the 

concurrence of a state, within the 

boundaries of that state, to a point 

outside the United States. In addition, 

Public Law 104–297, section 105(e), 

directs the Secretary to issue section 

204(d) permits to up to 14 Canadian 

transport vessels that are not equipped 

for fish harvesting or processing, for the 

transshipment of Atlantic herring 

harvested by United States fishermen 

and to be used solely in sardine 

processing. Transshipment must occur 

from within the boundaries of the State 

of Maine or within the portion of the 

EEZ east of the line 69 degrees 30 

minutes west and within 12 nautical 

miles from Maine’s seaward boundary. 

Section 204(d)(3)(D) of the MagnusonStevens Act provides that an application 

may not be approved until the Secretary 

determines that no owner or operator of 

a vessel of the United States which has 

adequate capacity to perform the 

transportation for which the application 

is submitted has indicated an interest in 

performing the transportation at fair and 

reasonable rates. NMFS is publishing 

this notice as part of its effort to make 

such a determination with respect to the 

application described below. 

Summary of Application 

NMFS received an application 

requesting authorization for four 

Canadian transport vessels to receive 

transfers of herring from United States 

purse seine vessels, stop seines, and 

weirs for the purpose of transporting the 

herring to Canada for sardine 

processing. The transshipment 

operations will occur within the 

boundaries of the State of Maine or 

within the portion of the EEZ east of the 

line 69° 30′ W longitude and within 12 

nautical miles from Maine’s seaward 

boundary.
