COMMITTEE FOR THE

IMPLEMENTATION OF TEXTILE

AGREEMENTS

Denial of Short Supply Request under

the United States-Caribbean Basin

Trade Partnership Act (CBTPA)

April 30, 2001.

AGENCY: Committee for the

Implementation of Textile Agreements

(CITA).

ACTION: Denial of the petition alleging

that yarns of cashmere and yarns of

camel hair cannot be supplied by the

domestic industry in commercial

quantities in a timely manner.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Lori

E. Mennitt, International Trade

Specialist, Office of Textiles and

Apparel, U.S. Department of Commerce,

(202) 482–3400.

SUMMARY: On February 28, 2001 the

Chairman of CITA received a petition

from Amicale Industries, Inc. alleging

yarn of cashmere and yarn of camel

hair, classified in heading 5108.10.60 of

the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the

United States (HTSUS), cannot be

supplied by the domestic industry in

commercial quantities in a timely

manner. It requested that the President

proclaim that apparel articles of U.S.

formed fabrics of such yarns be eligible

for preferential treatment under the

CBTPA. As a result, CITA published a

Federal Register Notice on March 8,

2001 (66 FR 13913) requesting public

comments on the petition. These

comments were due March 23, 2001.

Based on currently available

information, CITA has determined that

these products can be supplied by the

domestic industry in commercial

quantities in a timely manner and

therefore denies the petition.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Authority: Section 213(b)(2)(A)(v)(II) of the

Caribbean Basin Economic Recovery Act, as

added by Section 211(a) of the CBTPA;

Section 6 of Executive Order No. 13191 of

January 17, 2001.

BACKGROUND: The CBTPA provides

for quota- and duty-free treatment for

qualifying textile and apparel products.

Such treatment is generally limited to

products manufactured from yarns or

fabrics formed in the United States or a

beneficiary country. The CBTPA also

provides for quota–and duty–free

treatment for apparel articles that are

both cut (or knit–to–shape) and sewn or

otherwise assembled in one or more

CBTPA beneficiary countries from fabric

or yarn that is not formed in the United

States or a CBTPA beneficiary country,

if it has been determined that such

fabric or yarn cannot be supplied by the

domestic industry in commercial

quantities in a timely manner and the

President has proclaimed such

treatment. In Executive Order No.

13191, the President delegated to CITA

the authority to determine whether

yarns or fabrics cannot be supplied by

the domestic industry in commercial

quantities in a timely manner under the

CBTPA and directed CITA to establish

procedures to ensure appropriate public

participation in any such determination.

On March 6, 2001, CITA published

procedures that it will follow in

considering requests. (66 FR 13502).

On February 28, 2001 the Chairman of

CITA received a petition from Amicale

Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 86 / Thursday, May 3, 2001 / Notices 22217

Industries, Inc. alleging yarn of

cashmere and yarn of camel hair,

classified in heading 5108.10.60 of the

HTSUS, cannot be supplied by the

domestic industry in commercial

quantities in a timely manner. It

requested that the President proclaim

that apparel articles of U.S. formed

fabrics of such yarns be eligible for

preferential treatment under the CBTPA.

CITA solicited public comments

regarding this request (66 FR 13913,

published on March 8, 2001)

particularly with respect to whether

yarn of cashmere and yarn of camel

hair, classified in HTSUS heading

5108.10.60, can be supplied by the

domestic industry in commercial

quantities in a timely manner.

On the basis of currently available

information, CITA has determined that

yarn of cashmere and yarn of camel hair

is spun in the United States and is

available from U.S. producers in

commercial quantities in a timely

manner. Two companies in their

submissions claim that they currently

spin the yarns in question. Two other

companies in their submissions claim to

have the spinning capacity to produce

these yarns. One company in its

submission claims it supplies camel and

cashmere hair fibers to companies that

spin it into yarn and claims that three

additional companies are capable of

supplying cashmere and camel hair yarn

to the petitioner.

Based on currently available

information, CITA has determined that

Amicale’s petition should be denied.

Amicale has not established that these

yarns cannot be supplied by the

domestic industry in commercial

quantities in a timely manner. Currently

available information indicates that the

domestic industry is able to supply

these yarns in commercial quantities in

a timely manner.

Acting Chairman, Committee for the

Implementation of Textile Agreements.
