determines that a fabric, yarn, or fiber is 

not available in commercial quantities 

in a timely manner in the territory of 

any Party; or when the United States 

determines that a fabric, yarn, or fiber 

currently on the list is available in 

commercial quantities in a timely 

manner. The CAFTA–DR 

Implementation Act authorizes the 

President to make such modifications to 

the list in Annex 3.25. See Annex 3.25 

of the CAFTA–DR Agreement; see also 

section 203(o)(4)(C) and (E) of the 

CAFTA–DR Implementation Act. 

The CAFTA–DR 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 

7987, the President delegated to CITA 

the authority under section 203(o)(4) of 

CAFTA–DR Implementation Act for 

modifying the list in Annex 3.25. 

Pursuant to this authority, CITA 

published modified procedures it would 

follow in considering requests to modify 

the Annex 3.25 list of products 

determined to be not commercially 

available in the territory of any Party to 

CAFTA–DR (Modifications to 

Procedures for Considering Requests 

Under the Commercial Availability 

Provision of the Dominican RepublicCentral America-United States Free 

Trade Agreement, 73 FR 53200 

(September 15, 2008)) (‘‘CITA’s 

procedures’’). 

On June 12, 2014, the Acting 

Chairman of CITA received a request 

from Alston & Bird LLP, on behalf of 

Buhler Quality Yarns (‘‘Buhler’’) for a 

Commercial Availability determination 

to remove or restrict (‘‘Request to 

Remove’’) certain ring spun single yarns 

of micro modal fibers, currently listed in 

Annex 3.25. Buhler offered to supply 

the specified yarn and provided 

information demonstrating their ability 

to supply commercial quantities in a 

timely manner. On June 13, 2014, in 

accordance with CITA’s procedures, 

CITA notified interested parties of the 

Request to Remove, which was posted 

on the dedicated Web site for CAFTA– 

DR commercial availability proceedings. 

In its notification, CITA advised that 

any Response to the Request to Remove 

must be submitted by June 26, 2014, and 

any Rebuttal Comments to a Response 

must be submitted by July 2, 2014, in 

accordance with Sections 6, 7 and 9 of 

CITA’s procedures. No Response to the 

Request to Remove was placed on the 

record of the proceeding. 

In accordance with section 

203(o)(4)(C) of the CAFTA–DR 

Implementation Act, Section 8(a) and 

(b), and Section 9(c)(1) of CITA’s 

procedures, as no interested entity 

submitted a Response objecting to the 

Request to Remove, CITA has 

determined to approve the Request to 

Remove the subject product from the list 

in Annex 3.25. Pursuant to Section 

9(c)(3)(iii)(A), textile and apparel 

articles containing the subject product 

are not to be treated as originating in a 

CAFTA-DR country if the subject 

product is obtained from non-CAFTA– 

DR sources, effective for goods entered 

into the United States on or after 180 

calendar days after the date of 

publication of this notice. A revised list 

in Annex 3.25, noting the effective date 

of the removal of the subject product, 

has been posted on the dedicated Web 

site for CAFTA–DR commercial 

availability proceedings.

Responses per Respondent: 1. 

Annual Responses: 13,541. 

Average Burden per Response: 20 

minutes. 

Annual Burden Hours: 4,514. 

Needs and Uses: Executive Order 

12829, ‘‘National Industrial Security 

Program (NISP),’’ (January 6, 1993, as 

amended), established the NISP, the 

purpose of which is to ‘‘safeguard 

classified information that may be 

released or has been released to current, 

prospective, or former contractors, 

licensees, or grantees of United States 

agencies.’’ Pursuant to paragraph 202(a) 

of the Executive Order, the Secretary of 

Defense serves as the ‘‘executive agent 

for inspecting and monitoring the 

contractors, licensees, and grantees who 

require or will require access to, or who 

store, or will store, classified 

information; and for determining the 

eligibility for access to classified 

information of contractors, licensees, 

and grantees and their respective 

employees.’’ 

The DSS Director has been assigned 

specific responsibility for administering 

the NISP on behalf of DoD components 

and those Executive Branch 

departments and agencies that have 

entered into agreements with the 

Secretary of Defense for industrial 

security services required for 

safeguarding classified information 

disclosed to industry by these DoD 

components and executive Branch 

departments or agencies (collectively 

referred to hereafter as Government 

Contracting Activities (GCAs). (See DoD 

Directive 5105.42, ‘‘Defense Security 

Service,’’ and DoD Instruction 5220.22, 

‘‘National Industrial Security Program.’’ 

DSS carries out its NISP administration 

mission in part by assessing the security 

posture of cleared contractor facilities in 

order to determine if the cleared 

facilities are complying with the 

provisions of the National Industrial 

Security Program Operating Manual 

(NISPOM) and by verifying that cleared 

contractors mitigate and ensuring 

identified security vulnerabilities. This 

public information collection is focused 

on strengthening DSS analysis of threats 

to classified information and cleared 

personnel at cleared contractor facilities 

by ensuring the accuracy of contract, 

technology, program, and facility data in 

the DSS Industrial Security Facilities 

Database (ISFD). DSS will be able to 

more effectively and efficiently perform 

its NISP administration mission if DSS 

can analyze accurate information in 

ISFD. In turn, this will allow DSS to 

better tailor vulnerability assessments 

and other products and support for 

cleared facilities. Responding to this 

public information collection is 

voluntary. This collection of

Act’’), and 41 CFR 102–3.50(a). 

The Panel is a non-discretionary 

Federal advisory committee that shall 

provide the Secretary of Defense and the

the Under Secretary of Defense for 

Personnel and Readiness (USD(P&R)), 

the Assistant Secretary of Defense for 

Health Affairs (ASD(HA)), and the 

Director, Defense Health Agency,

changes to the uniform formulary. 

The Panel shall report to the Secretary 

of Defense and the Deputy Secretary of 

Defense through the USD(P&R), the

Health Agency. The USD(P&R) may act 

upon the Panel’s advice and 

recommendations. 

The Department of Defense (DoD), 

through the office of the USD(P&R) and 

the Defense Health Agency, shall 

provide support, as deemed necessary, 

for the Panel’s performance, and shall 

ensure compliance with the 

requirements of the FACA, the 

Government in the Sunshine Act of 

1976 (5 U.S.C. 552b, as amended) (‘‘the 

Sunshine Act’’), governing Federal 

statutes and regulations, and established 

DoD policies and procedures. 

The Panel, pursuant to 10 U.S.C. 

1074g(c)(2), shall be comprised of no

Secretary of Defense, or the USD(P&R), 

as the Panel’s sponsor. 

Such subcommittees shall not work

on behalf of the Panel, directly to the 

DoD or any Federal officer or employee.

term of service of one-to-four years, with 

annual renewals, even if the member in 

question is already a member of the 

Panel. Subcommittee members shall not 

serve more than two consecutive terms 

of service unless authorized by the 

Secretary of Defense or the Deputy 

Secretary of Defense. 

Subcommittee members, if not fulltime or permanent part-time Federal
