SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Authority: The US-Colombia TPA; Section 

203(o)(4) of the United States-Colombia 

Trade Promotion Agreement Implementation 

Act (‘‘US-Colombia TPA Implementation 

Act’’), Public Law 112–42 (October 21, 2011); 

the Statement of Administrative Action, 

accompanying the US-Colombia TPA 

Implementation Act; and Presidential 

Proclamation No. 8818, 77 FR 29519 (May 

18, 2012). 

Background 

The US-Colombia TPA provides a list 

in Annex 3–B for fabrics, yarns, and 

fibers that the Parties to the USColombia TPA have determined are not 

available in commercial quantities in a 

timely manner in the territory of any 

Party. The US-Colombia TPA and the 

US-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 USColombia TPA; see also section 

203(o)(4) of the US-Colombia TPA 

Implementation Act. 

The US-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 US-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 22, 2013, the Chairman 

of CITA received a request for a 

Commercial Availability determination 

(‘‘Request’’) from AM&S Trade Services, 

LLC on behalf of Bella Bliss, LLC for 

certain cotton corduroy fabric, as 

specified below. On February 26, 2013, 

in accordance with CITA’s procedures, 

CITA notified interested parties of the 

Request, which was posted on the 

dedicated Web site for US-Colombia 

TPA Commercial Availability 

proceedings. In its notification, CITA 

advised that any Response with an Offer 

to Supply (‘‘Response’’) must be 

submitted by March 8, 2013, and any 

Rebuttal Comments to a Response must 

be submitted by March 14, 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 US-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 USColombia TPA. 

The subject product has been added 

to the list in Annex 3–B of the USColombia TPA in unrestricted 

quantities. A revised list has been 

posted on the dedicated Web site for 

US-Colombia TPA Commercial 

Availability proceedings.

Specifications: Certain Cotton Corduroy 

Fabric 

HTS Subheading: 5801.22.1000, 

5801.22.9000 

Wales: 6–10 wales per centimeter (19–23 

wales per inch) 

Fiber content: greater than 95% cotton by 

weight 

Weight: 133–147 grams per square meter 

Warp, ends per centimeter: 28–33 

Filling, picks per centimeter: 66–73 

Yarn counts: 

Warp yarn: English—38–42; Metric 65–70 

Filling yarn: English—38–42; Metric 65–70 

Width: 134–153 centimeters; 53–60 inches 

Finish: Cut, Desized 

Note: The yarn size designations describe 

a range of yarn specifications for yarn in its 

greige condition before dyeing and finishing 

of the yarn (if applicable) and 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. However, because dyeing, finishing, 

and knitting can alter the characteristic of the 

yarn as it appears in the finished fabric, the 

specification therefore includes 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. In addition, while the fabric is 

intended to be piece-dyed, the specifications 

include both piece- and yarn-dyed to 

accommodate any Customs’ findings that the 

finished fabric appears to be yarn-dyed as a 

result of dye absorption.

water resources projects, programs, 

activities and related actions; and (3) the 

Agency Specific Procedures, outlining 

agency-specific procedures for

Implementation Studies; Final 

AGENCY: Council on Environmental 

Quality. 

ACTION: Notice of Availability of Final 

Principles and Requirements. 

SUMMARY: Section 2031 of the Water 

Resources Development Act of 2007 

(Pub. L. 110–114) directed the Secretary 

of the Army to revise the ‘‘Economic 

and Environmental Principles and

This notice is to inform you that the 

Principles and Requirements, one key 

component of the Principles and 

Guidelines, are finalized and available 

at www.whitehouse.gov/administration/ 

eop/ceq/initiatives/PandG. The 

Principles and Requirements were 

developed through a collaborative 

interagency process that promoted the 

open exchange of information and 

perspectives. The process has engaged 

the public through formal public review 

and workshops, and included an 

external peer review by the National 

Academies of Science as required by the 

Water Resources Development Act of 

2007. 

Modernized Principles and 

Guidelines will improve Federal 

government decision making related to 

investment in water resource projects 

and, thus, improve how our country 

plans for infrastructure projects. 

DATES: The Principles and Requirements 

were issued on March 18, 2013.
