SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Authority: The CAFTA–DR Agreement; 

Section 203(o)(4) of the Dominican RepublicCentral America-United States Free Trade 

Agreement Implementation Act (‘‘CAFTA– 

DR Implementation Act’’), Public Law 109– 

53; the Statement of Administrative Action, 

accompanying the CAFTA–DR 

Implementation Act; and Presidential 

Proclamations 7987 (February 28, 2006) and 

7996 (March 31, 2006). 

Background: 

The CAFTA–DR Agreement provides 

a list in Annex 3.25 for fabrics, yarns, 

and fibers that the Parties to the 

CAFTA–DR Agreement have 

determined are not available in 

commercial quantities in a timely 

manner in the territory of any Party. The 

CAFTA–DR Agreement provides that 

this list may be modified pursuant to 

Article 3.25(4)–(5), 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 3.25 of the CAFTA–DR 

Agreement; see also section 203(o)(4)(C) 

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 Proclamations 

7987 and 7996, the President delegated 

to CITA the authority under section 

203(o)(4) of CAFTA–DR Implementation 

Act for modifying the Annex 3.25 list. 

Pursuant to this authority, on September 

15, 2008, 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 Republic-Central 

America-United States Free Trade 

Agreement, 73 FR 53200) (‘‘CITA’s 

procedures’’). 

On July 25, the Chairman of CITA 

received a request for a Commercial 

Availability determination (‘‘Request’’) 

from Alston & Bird, LLP on behalf of 

SPC Global, LLC, for certain polyester/ 

nylon cut corduroy fabric, as specified 

below. On July 29, 2013, in accordance 

with CITA’s procedures, CITA notified 

interested parties of the Request, which 

was posted on the dedicated Web site 

for CAFTA–DR Commercial Availability 

proceedings. In its notification, CITA 

advised that any Response with an Offer 

to Supply (‘‘Response’’) must be 

submitted by August 8, 2013, and any 

Rebuttal Comments to a Response must 

be submitted by August 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)(C) of the CAFTA–DR 

Implementation Act, and section 8(c)(2) 

of CITA’s procedures, as no interested 

entity submitted a Response to object to 

the Request with an offer to supply the 

subject product, CITA has determined to 

add the specified fabric to the list in 

Annex 3.25 of the CAFTA–DR 

Agreement. 

The subject product has been added 

to the list in Annex 3.25 of the CAFTA– 

DR Agreement in unrestricted 

quantities. A revised list has been 

posted on the dedicated Web site for 

CAFTA–DR Commercial Availability 

proceedings. 

Specifications: Certain Polyester/

Nylon Cut Corduroy Fabric. 

HTS: 5801.32.0000.

NOTE 1: In the bi-constituent yarn, the 

polyester and nylon are mixed prior to

describe a range of specifications for yarn in 

its greige condition. They are intended as 

specifications to be followed by the mill in 

sourcing yarn used to produce the fabric. 

Weaving, dyeing, and finishing can alter the 

characteristics of the yarn as it appears in the 

finished fabric. This 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.
