Laminate Description and performance: 

Bonded laminate with durable 

water repellency (air permeability

NOTE (ranges): Ranges in these 

specifications reflect a tolerance 

from the target figures of up to three 

percent for fiber content, yarn size, 

and thread count; up to ten percent 

for weight; and up to five 

centimeters (two inches) for width. 

NOTE (processing variations): The yarn 

size designations describe a range of 

yarn specifications for yarn before 

knitting, dyeing and finishing of the 

fabric. They are intended as 

specifications to be followed by the 

mill in sourcing yarn used to 

produce the fabric. Dyeing, 

finishing, and knitting can alter the 

characteristic of the yarn as it 

appears in the finished 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

Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 52 / Monday, March 18, 2013 / Notices 16663 

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.
