BACKGROUND: Section 404 of the 

Dominican Republic-Central AmericaUnited States Free Trade Agreement 

Implementation Act (DR–CAFTA Act) 

(19 U.S.C. 4112) required the Secretary 

of Commerce to establish an Earned 

Import Allowance Program (EIAP) and 

directed the Commission to conduct 

annual reviews of the program for the 

purpose of evaluating its effectiveness 

and making recommendations for 

improvements. Section 404 of the DR– 

CAFTA Act authorizes certain apparel 

articles wholly assembled in an eligible 

country to enter the United States free 

of duty if accompanied by a certificate 

that shows evidence of the purchase of 

certain U.S. fabric. The term ‘‘eligible 

country’’ is defined to mean the 

Dominican Republic. More specifically, 

the program allows producers (in the 

Dominican Republic) that purchase a 

certain quantity of qualifying U.S. fabric 

for use in the production of certain 

bottoms of cotton in the Dominican 

Republic to receive a credit that can be 

used to ship a certain quantity of 

eligible apparel using third country 

fabrics from the Dominican Republic to 

the United States free of duty. 

Section 404(d) directs the 

Commission to conduct an annual 

review of the program for the purpose 

of evaluating the effectiveness of the 

program and making recommendations 

for improvements. The Commission is 

required to submit its reports containing 

the results of its reviews to the House 

Committee on Ways and Means and the 

Senate Committee on Finance. The 

Commission submitted its report on its 

first annual review (USITC Publication 

4175) on July 28, 2010, its report on its 

second annual review (USITC 

Publication 4246) on July 22, 2011, and 

it expects to submit its report on its 

third annual review by July 26, 2011. 

The Commission instituted this 

investigation pursuant to section 332(g) 

of the Tariff Act of 1930 to facilitate 

docketing of submissions and also to 

facilitate public access to Commission 

records through the Commission’s EDIS 

electronic records system. 

Submissions: Interested parties are 

invited to file written submissions 

concerning this third annual review. All 

written submissions should be 

addressed to the Secretary and must 

conform to the provisions of section 

201.8 of the Commission’s Rules of 

Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 201.8). 

Section 201.8 requires that a signed 

original (or a copy so designated) and 

fourteen (14) copies of each document 

be filed. If confidential treatment of a 

document is requested, at least four (4) 

additional copies must be filed, in 

which the confidential information 

must be deleted (see the following 

paragraph for further information 

regarding confidential business 

information). The Commission’s rules 

authorize filing submissions with the 

Secretary by facsimile or electronic 

means only to the extent permitted by 

section 201.8 of the rules (see Handbook 

for Electronic Filing Procedures, http:// 

www.usitc.gov/secretary/ 

fed_reg_notices/rules/documents/ 

handbook_on_electronic_filing.pdf ). 

Persons with questions regarding 

electronic filing should contact the 

Secretary (202–205–2000). 

Any submissions that contain 

confidential business information must 

also conform to the requirements of 

section 201.6 of the Commission’s Rules 

of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 

201.6). Section 201.6 of the rules 

requires that the cover of the document 

and the individual pages be clearly 

marked as to whether they are the 

‘‘confidential’’ or ‘‘non-confidential’’ 

version, and that the confidential 

business information is clearly 

identified by means of brackets. All 

written submissions, except for 

confidential business information, will 

be made available for inspection by 

interested parties. 

The Commission intends to publish 

only a public report in this review. 

Consequently, the report that the 

Commission sends to the committees 

will not contain any confidential 

business information. Any confidential 

business information received by the 

Commission in this investigation and 

used in preparing its report will not be 

published in a manner that would 

reveal the operations of the firm 

supplying the information. 

By order of the Commission. 

Issued: March 7, 2012. 

James R. Holbein, 

Secretary to the Commission.
