SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Olympic Coast National Marine 

Sanctuary (OCNMS) Advisory Council 

seats are for a three-year term and have 

a designated primary member and an 

alternate. The OCNMS Advisory 

Council meets bi-monthly in public 

sessions in communities in and around 

Olympic Coast National Marine 

Sanctuary. 

The OCNMS Advisory Council was 

established in December 1998 to assure 

continued public participation in the 

management of the sanctuary. Serving 

in a volunteer capacity, the advisory 

council’s 15 voting members represent a 

variety of local user groups, as well as 

the general public. In addition, six 

Federal government agencies and the 

state Marine Resource Committee 

representatives serve as non-voting, ex 

officio members. Since its 

establishment, the advisory council has 

played a vital role in advising OCNMS 

and NOAA on critical issues. In 

addition to providing advice on 

management issues facing the 

Sanctuary, council members serve as a 

communication bridge between 

constituents and OCNMS staff.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

notice replaces the Federal Register 

notice in Vol. 77, No. 190 published on 

Monday, October 1, 2012 by Committee 

for the Implementation of Textile 

Agreements (CITA) titled ‘Amendment 

of Limitation of Duty- and Quota-Free 

Imports of Apparel Articles Assembled 

in Beneficiary ATPDEA Countries From 

Regional Country Fabric’. Specifically, 

this notice corrects the quantity of 

imports eligible for preferential 

treatment under the regional fabric 

provision. The original notice 

incorrectly listed the quantity of imports 

eligible for preferential treatment to be 

1,341,030,128. As corrected below, the

preferential treatment is 1,239,899,947. 

Authority: Section 3103 of the Trade Act 

of 2002, Pub. L. 107–210; Presidential

Section 3103 of the Trade Act of 2002 

amended the Andean Trade Preference 

Act (ATPA) to provide for duty and 

quota-free treatment for certain textile 

and apparel articles imported from 

designated Andean Trade Promotion 

and Drug Eradication Act (ATPDEA) 

beneficiary countries. Section 

204(b)(3)(B)(iii) of the amended ATPA 

provides duty- and quota-free treatment 

for certain apparel articles assembled in 

ATPDEA beneficiary countries from 

regional fabric and components, subject 

to quantitative limitation. More 

specifically, this provision applies to 

apparel articles sewn or otherwise 

assembled in one or more ATPDEA 

beneficiary countries from fabrics or 

from fabric components formed or from 

components knit-to-shape, in one or 

more ATPDEA beneficiary countries, 

from yarns wholly formed in the United 

States or one or more ATPDEA 

beneficiary countries (including fabrics 

not formed from yarns, if such fabrics 

are classifiable under heading 5602 and 

5603 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule 

(HTS) and are formed in one or more 

ATPDEA beneficiary countries). Such 

apparel articles may also contain certain 

other eligible fabrics, fabric 

components, or components knit-toshape. 

Title VII of the Tax Relief and Health 

Care Act (TRHCA) of 2006, Pub L. No. 

107–432, extended the expiration of the 

ATPA to June 30, 2007. See Section 

7002(a) of the TRHCA 2006. H.R. 1830, 

110th Cong. (2007), further extended the 

expiration of the ATPA to February 29, 

2008. H.R. 5264, 110th Cong. (2008), 

further extended the expiration of the 

ATPA to December 31, 2008. H.R. 7222, 

110th Cong. (2008), further extended the 

expiration of the ATPA to December 31, 

2009. H.R 4284, 111th Cong. (2009), 

further extended the expiration of the 

ATPA to December 31, 2010. H.R 6517, 

111th Cong. (2010), further extended the 

expiration of the ATPA to February 12, 

2011. H.R 3078, 112th Cong. (2011), 

further extended the expiration of the 

ATPA to July 31, 2013. 

For the period beginning on October 

1, 2012 and extending through July 31, 

2013, preferential tariff treatment is 

limited under the regional fabric 

provision to imports of qualifying 

apparel articles in an amount not to 

exceed 5 percent of the aggregate square 

meter equivalents of all apparel articles 

imported into the United States in the 

preceding 12-month period for which 

data are available. The 12-month period 

for which data are available is the 12- 

month period that ended July 31, 2012. 

This quantity is calculated using the 

aggregate square meter equivalents of all 

apparel articles imported into the 

United States, derived from the set of 

Harmonized System lines listed in the 

Annex to the World Trade Organization 

Agreement on Textiles and Clothing 

(ATC), and the conversion factors for

units of measure into square meter 

equivalents used by the United States in 

implementing the ATC. In Presidential 

Proclamation 7616 (published in the 

Federal Register on November 5, 2002, 

67 FR 67283), the President directed 

CITA to publish in the Federal Register 

the aggregate quantity of imports 

allowed during each period. 

The purpose of this notice is to extend 

the period of the quantitative limitation 

for preferential tariff treatment under 

the regional fabric provision for imports 

of qualifying apparel articles from 

Ecuador through July 31, 2013. For the 

period beginning on October 1, 2012 

and extending through July 31, 2013, 

the aggregate quantity of imports 

eligible for preferential treatment under 

the regional fabric provision is 

1,239,899,947 square meters equivalent. 

Apparel articles entered in excess of this 

quantity will be subject to otherwise 

applicable tariffs.
