2. We are deleting the footnote

‘‘Coverage limited to fabric, wholly or in

part of fine animal hair’’ from HTS

subheadings 5112.1120 and 5112.1990.

3. We are deleting HTS subheadings

5701.1016 and 5805.0025 because

products covered under these HTS

subheadings were excluded from the

original TSUSA-defined scope of this

countervailing duty order.

4. As a result of HTS subheading

changes made effective on January 1,

1995, the HTS subheading 5701.1020

was replaced by 5701.1040 and

5701.1090. However, since 5701.1040

covers hand-made carpets, which were

excluded from the original TSUSAdefined scope, we are replacing

5701.1020 only with 5701.1090, which

covers other carpets.

5. We are inserting HTS subheadings

5407.7100, 5407.7200, 5407.7300, and

D.C. 20230.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION AND AN

APPLICATION PACKAGE CONTACT:

Heyward Davenport, Regional Director

at (212) 264–3262.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Contingent upon the availability of

Federal funds, the cost of performance

for the first budget period (13 months)

from October 1, 1995 to October 31,

1996, is estimated at $222,196. The total

Federal amount of $188,867 and is

composed of $184,260 plus the Audit

Fee amount of $4,607. The application

must include a minimum cost share

15% ($33,329) in non-federal (cost

sharing) contributions for a total project

cost of $222,196. Cost-sharing

contributions may be in the form of

cash, client fees, third party in-kind

contributions, non-cash applicant

contributions or combinations thereof.

The funding instrument for this

project will be a cooperative agreement.

For those applicants who are not

incumbent organizations or who are

incumbents that have experienced

closure due to a break in service, a 30-

day start-up period will be added to

their first budget period, making it a 13-

month award. Competition is open to
21074 Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 83 / Monday, May 1, 1995 / Notices

individuals, non-profit and for-profit

organizations, state and local

governments, American Indian tribes

and educational institutions.

Applications will be evaluated on the

following criteria: the knowledge,

background and/or capabilities of the

firm and its staff in addressing the needs

of the business community in general

and, specifically, the special needs of

minority businesses, individuals and

organizations (45 points), the resources

available to the firm in providing

business development services (10

points); the firm’s approach (techniques

and methodologies) to performing the

work requirements included in the

application (20 points); and the firm’s

estimated cost for providing such

assistance (25 points). An application

must receive at least 70% of the points

assigned to each evaluation criteria

category to be considered

programmatically acceptable and

responsive. Those applications

determined to be acceptable and

responsive will then be evaluated by the

Director of MBDA. Final award

selections shall be based on the number

of points received, the demonstrated

responsibility of the applicant, and the

determination of those most likely to

further the purpose of the MBDA

program. Negative audit findings and

recommendations and unsatisfactory

performance under prior Federal awards

may result in an application not being

considered for award. The applicant

with the highest point score will not

necessarily receive the award.

The MBDC shall be required to

contribute at least 15% of the total

project cost through non-Federal

contributions. To assist in this effort, the

MBDC may charge client fees for

services rendered. Fees may range from

$10 to $60 per hour based on the gross

receipts of the client’s business.

Periodic reviews culminating in yearto-date evaluations will be conducted to

determine if funding for the project

should continue. Continued funding

will be at the total discretion of MBDA

based on such factors as the MBDC’s

performance, the availability of funds

and Agency priorities.

Anticipated processing time of this

award is 120 days. Executive order

12372, ‘‘Intergovernmental Review of

Federal Programs’’, is not applicable to

this program. Federal funds for this

project include audit funds for non-CPA

recipients, in the event that a CPA firm

wins the competition, the funds

allocated for audits are not applicable.

Questions concerning the preceding

information can be answered by the

contact person indicated above, and

copies of application kits and applicable

regulations can be obtained at the above

address. The collection of information

and requirements for this project have

been approved by the Office of

Management and Budget (OMB) and

assigned OMB control number 0640–

0006.

Pre-Award Costs

Applicants are hereby notified that if

they incur any costs prior to an award

being made, they do so solely at their

own risk of not being reimbursed by the

Government. Notwithstanding any

verbal assurance that an applicant may

have received, there is no obligation on

the part of the Department of Commerce

to cover pre-award costs.

Awards under this program shall be

subject to all Federal laws, and Federal

and Departmental regulations, policies,

and procedures applicable to Federal

financial assistance awards.

Outstanding Account Receivable

No award of Federal funds shall be

made to an applicant who has an

outstanding delinquent Federal debt

until either the delinquent account is

paid in full, repayment schedule is

established and at least one payment is

received, or other arrangements

satisfactory to the Department of

Commerce are made.

Name Check Policy

All non-profit and for-profit

applicants are subject to a name check

review process. Name checks are

intended to reveal if any key individuals

associated with the applicant have been

convicted of or are presently facing

criminal charges such as fraud, theft,

perjury or other matters which

significantly reflect on the applicant’s

management honesty or financial

integrity.

Award Termination

The Departmental Grants Officer may

terminate any grant/cooperative

agreement in whole or in part at any

time before the date of completion

whenever it is determined that the

award recipient has failed to comply

with the conditions of the grant/

cooperative agreement. Examples of

some of the conditions which can cause

termination are failure to meet costsharing requirements; unsatisfactory

performance of the MBDC work

requirements; and reporting inaccurate

or inflated claims of client assistance.

Such inaccurate or inflated claims may

be deemed illegal and punishable by

law.

False Statements

A false statement on an application

for Federal financial assistance is

grounds for denial or termination of

funds, and grounds for possible

punishment by a fine or imprisonment

as provided in 18 U.S.C. 1001.

IMPLEMENTATION OF TEXTILE

AGREEMENTS

Final List of Products for Second,

Third and Final Phase Integration of

Textile and Apparel Products into

GATT 1994

April 26, 1995.

AGENCY: Committee for the

Implementation of Textile Agreements.

NOTICE: Announcement of the Textile

and Apparel Products to be Integrated

into the GATT 1994 in the Second,

Third and Final Phases.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Julie

Carducci, Office of Textiles and

Apparel, U.S. Department of Commerce,

(202) 482–3588.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

Uruguay Round Agreement on Textiles

and Clothing (ATC), approved by

Congress as part of the Uruguay Round

Agreements Act, provides for the

integration of the textiles and clothing

sectors into the World Trade

Organization.

The second and third phases of the

integration will commence on January 1,

1998, and January 1, 2002, respectively.

According to the provisions in the ATC,

products in the second integration

phase will account for not less than

17% of the total volume of imports in

1990 of the products in the annex to the

ATC. Products in the third integration

phase will account for not less than

18% of this total volume. (The first

integration phase took effect on January

1, 1995 and the list of products in the

first integration phase was published in

the Federal Register on October 13,

1994 (59 FR 51942). The final phase of

the integration will commence on

January 1, 2005, and will include textile

and apparel products in the annex to the

ATC which were not integrated during

the first, second or third integration

phases.) Products were selected from

the ATC’s four required groups:

clothing, fabric, made-up textile

products and tops and yarn.

In determining the products to be

integrated in phases two and three,

CITA has proceeded in accordance with

the ATC, implementing legislation and

Statement of Administrative Action.

CITA has followed the Administration’s

commitment, made in the Statement of

Administrative Action, that ‘‘integration

of the most sensitive products will be

deferred until the end of the ten-year

period’’. Accordingly, CITA requested

comments from interested parties and

received over 80 submissions from

individuals, companies, trade

associations, unions and foreign

governments. Also, the Committee

consulted and met with individuals,

advisory groups, and association

representatives, and held a public

hearing at which testimony from 32

parties was presented. The comments

received on integration reflect a broad

cross-section of views on its

implementation.

On January 30, 1995, CITA published

in the Federal Register (60 FR 5625) a

draft list of the second and third phases

of integration and announced that a

public hearing would be held in midMarch. The deadline to submit public

comment on the draft integration list

was February 23, 1995. The deadline for

submissions of testimony for the public

hearing was March 2, 1995. Due to the

demand for additional time and late

submissions, the Committee extended

the date until March 15, 1995. The

public hearing was held on March 20,

1995. CITA heard from importers,

retailers, textile and apparel

manufacturers, trade associations,

unions and individuals who make up

the soft goods chain. During the process,

all public comments and testimony

received from interested parties were

available for viewing at the U.S.

Department of Commerce, Office of

Textiles and Apparel. In accordance

with the U.S. Uruguay Round

commitment, CITA has weighed all

comments, testimonies, and other

submissions to conclude the following

list.

Parties interested in obtaining the

final list for the second, third and final

phases electronically, can access the

lists through the U.S. Department of

Commerce’s Economic Bulletin Board,
