They are intended as specifications to be followed by the mill in sourcing yarn used to produce the fabric.

These specifications therefore include yarns appearing in the finished fabric as finer or coarser than the designated yarn sizes provided that the variation occurs after processing of the greige yarn and production of the fabric. The specifications for the fabric apply to the fabric itself prior to cutting and sewing of the finished garment. Such processing may alter the
measurements.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :** 

Authority: The U.S.-Colombia TPA;Section 203(o)(4) of the United StatesColombia Trade Promotion Agreement Implementation Act (‘‘U.S.-Colombia TPA Implementation Act’’), Public Law 112–42 (October 21, 2011); the Statement of Administrative Action, accompanying the U.S.-Colombia TPA Implementation Act; and Presidential Proclamation No. 8818, 77 FR 29519 (May 18, 2012). Background

The U.S.-Colombia TPA provides a list in Annex 3–B for fabrics, yarns, and fibers that the Parties to the U.S.- Colombia TPA have determined are not available in commercial quantities in a timely manner in the territory of any Party. The U.S.-Colombia TPA and the U.S.-Colombia TPA Implementation Act provides that this list may be modified 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–B of the U.S.- Colombia TPA; see also section 203(o)(4) of the U.S.-Colombia TPA Implementation Act.

The U.S.-Colombia TPA 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 Proclamation 8818, the President delegated to CITA the authority under section 203(o)(4) of the U.S.-Colombia TPA Implementation Act for modifying the Annex 3–B list. Pursuant to this authority, on November 6, 2012, CITA published interim procedures it would follow in considering requests to modify the Annex 3–B list of products determined to be not commercially available in the territory of either the United States or Colombia ( Interim Procedures for Considering Requests Under the Commercial Availability Provision of the United States-Colombia Trade Promotion Agreement, 77 FR 66588) (‘‘CITA’s procedures’’).

On February 11, 2013, the Chairman of CITA received a request for a Commercial Availability determination (‘‘Request’’) from Sorini Samet & Associates LLC on behalf of Patagonia, Inc. for certain laminated composite fabric, as specified below. On February 12, 2013, 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 February 25, 2013, and any Rebuttal Comments to a Response must be submitted by March 1, 2013, 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) of the U.S.-Colombia TPA Implementation Act, and section 8(c)(2) of CITA’s procedures, as no interested entity submitted a Response objecting to the Request and providing an offer to supply the subject product, CITA has determined to add the specified fabric to the list in Annex 3–B of the U.S.- Colombia TPA.

The subject product has been added to the list in Annex 3–B of the U.S.- Colombia TPA in unrestricted quantities. A revised list has been posted on the dedicated Web site for U.S.-Colombia TPA Commercial Availability proceedings.
