the comments may be resubmitted with 

or without name and address within a 

specified number of days. 

The Forest Service believes, at this 

early stage, it is important to give 

reviewers notice of several court rulings 

related to public participation in the 

environmental review process. First, 

reviewers of a draft EIS must structure 

their participation in the environmental 

review of the proposal so that it is 

meaningful and alerts an agency to the 

reviewer’s position and contentions 

[Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Corp. 

v. NRDC, 435 U.S. 519, 553 (1978)1. 

Also, environmental objections that 

could be raised at the draft EIS stage but 

that are not raised until after completion 

of the final EIS may be waived or 

dismissed by the courts [City of Angoon 

v. Harris, 490 F. Supp. 1334, 1338 (E.D. 

Wis. 1980)]. Because of these court 

rulings, it is very important that those 

interested in this process participate by 

the close of the 45-day comment period 

so that substantive comments and 

objections are made available to the 

Forest Service at a time when it can 

meaningfully consider them and 

respond to them in the final EIS. 

Reviewers may wish to refer to the 

Council on Environmental Quality 

Regulations for implementing the 

procedural provisions of the National 

Environmental Policy Act at 40 CFR 

1503.3 in addressing these points. 

In the final EIS, the Forest Service is 

required to respond to substantive 

comments received during the comment 

period for the draft and supplemental 

draft EIS’s. The Forest Service is the 

lead agency and the responsible official 

is the Forest Supervisor, Angeles 

National Forest. The responsible official 

will decide whether and how to issue 

Special Use authorizations for the 

proposed project or alternatives. The 

responsible official will also decide how 

to mitigate impacts of these actions and 

will determine when and how 

monitoring of effects will take place. 

The Tehachapi Renewable 

Transmission Project decision and the 

reasons for the decision will be 

documented in the record of decision. 

That decision will he subject to Forest 

Service Appeal Regulations (35 CFR 

part 215).

Request for Public Comment on a 

Commercial Availability Request Under 

the U.S.-Singapore Free Trade 

Agreement 

February 2, 2010. 

AGENCY: Committee for the 

Implementation of Textile Agreements 

(CITA). 

ACTION: Request for public comments 

concerning a request for modification of 

the U.S.-Singapore Free Trade 

Agreement (USSFTA) rules of origin for 

certain apparel articles 

SUMMARY: On October 29, 2008, the 

Government of the United States 

received a request from the Government 

of Singapore for consultations under 

Article 3.18.4(a)(i) of the USSFTA. 

Singapore is seeking agreement to revise 

the rules of origin for certain apparel 

articles to address availability of supply 

of certain fabrics in the territories of the 

Parties. The President may proclaim a 

modification to the USSFTA rules of 

origin for textile and apparel products 

after reaching an agreement with the 

Government of Singapore on the 

modification. CITA hereby solicits 

public comments on this request, in 

particular with regard to whether 

certain fabrics can be supplied by the 

domestic industry in commercial 

quantities in a timely manner. 

Comments must be submitted by March 

10, 2010 to the Chairman, Committee for 

the Implementation of Textile 

Agreements, Room 3001, United States 

Department of Commerce, Washington, 

DC 20230.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Authority: Section 202(o)(2) of the United 

States—Singapore Free Trade Agreement 

Implementation Act (19 U.S.C. 3805 note) 

(USSFTA Implementation Act); Executive 

Order 11651 of March 3, 1972, as amended. 

Background 

Under the USSFTA, the Parties are 

required to progressively eliminate 

customs duties on originating goods. 

See Article 2.2. The USSFTA provides 

that, after consultations, the Parties may 

agree to revise the rules of origin for 

textile and apparel products to address 

issues of availability of supply of fibers, 

yarns, or fabrics in the free trade area. 

See Article 3.18.4. In the consultations, 

each Party must consider data presented 

by the other party showing substantial 

production in its territory of the 

particular good. Substantial production 

has been shown if domestic producers 

are capable of supplying commercial 

quantities of the good in a timely 

manner. See Article 3.18.4. 

The USSFTA Implementation Act 

provides the President with the 

authority to proclaim modifications to 

the USSFTA rules of origin as are 

necessary to implement the Agreement 

after complying with the consultation 

and layover requirements of Section 103 

of the USSFTA Implementation Act. See 

Section 202(o)(2). Executive Order 

11651 established CITA to supervise the 

implementation of textile trade 

agreements and authorizes the 

Chairman of CITA to take actions or 

recommend that the United States take 

actions necessary to implement textile 

trade agreements. 37 FR 4699 (March 4,

sourcing yarn used to produce the fabric. 

Dyeing, finishing and weaving can alter the 

characteristic of the yarn as it appears in the
