SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

Federal regulations at 50 CFR 229.34

limit the number of nets that can be

used in certain fisheries in the midAtlantic that appear to be most closely

linked with accidental catch of harbor

porpoises. Fishermen in these fisheries

must obtain and attach numbered tags

for their nets. Because the number of

tags per vessel is capped, the tagging

program helps to limit the number of

nets in use and helps NOAA identify

the number in use.

II. Method of Collection

Requests for tags are submitted to

NOAA on a paper form.

III. Data

OMB Number: 0648–0357.

Form Number: None.

Type of Review: Regular submission. Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations, individuals or

households.

Estimated Number of Respondents: 25

Estimated Time Per Response: 1

minute to attach a tag to a net, 2 minutes

to request tags. Estimated Total Annual Burden

Hours: 22.

Estimated Total Annual Cost to

Public: $400.

IV. Request for Comments

Comments are invited on: (a) whether

the proposed collection of information

is necessary for the proper performance

of the functions of the agency, including

whether the information shall have

practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the

agency’s estimate of the burden

(including hours and cost) of the

proposed collection of information; (c)

ways to enhance the quality, utility, and

clarity of the information to be

collected; and (d) ways to minimize the

burden of the collection of information

on respondents, including through the

use of automated collection techniques

or other forms of information

technology. Comments submitted in response to

this notice will be summarized and/or

included in the request for OMB

approval of this information collection;

they also will become a matter of public

record.

COMMITTEE FOR THE

IMPLEMENTATION OF TEXTILE

AGREEMENTS

Denial of Short Supply Request under

the United States—Caribbean Basin

Trade Partnership Act (CBTPA)

May 3, 2001.

AGENCY: Committee for the

Implementation of Textile Agreements

(CITA)

ACTION: Denial of the petition alleging

that 30 and 36 singles solution dyed

staple spun viscose yarn, for use in knit

fabrics, cannot be supplied by the

domestic industry in commercial

quantities in a timely manner.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Janet Heinzen, International Trade

Specialist, Office of Textiles and

Apparel, U.S. Department of Commerce,

(202) 482–3400.

SUMMARY: On March 12, 2001 the

Chairman of CITA received a petition

from Fabrictex alleging that 30 and 36

singles solution dyed staple spun

viscose yarn, for use in knit fabrics,

classified in subheading 5510.11.0000 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 (66 FR 154111,

March 19, 2001) requesting public

comments on the petition. These

comments were due April 3, 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 March 12, 2001 the Chairman of

CITA received a petition from Fabrictex

alleging that 30 and 36 singles solution

dyed staple spun viscose yarn, for use

in knit fabrics, classified in subheading

5510.11.0000 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 154111,

published on March 19, 2001)

particularly with respect to whether 30

and 36 singles solution dyed staple

spun viscose yarn, classified in HTSUS

heading 5510.11.0000, can be supplied

by the domestic industry in commercial

quantities in a timely manner.

On the basis of currently available

information, including its review of the

petition and public comments received

and its understanding of the industry,

CITA has determined that Fabrictex has

not established that these yarns cannot

be supplied by the domestic industry in

commercial quantities in a timely

manner, and has determined that these

yarns can be so supplied. Written

23238 Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 89 / Tuesday, May 8, 2001 / Notices

statements were provided by five U.S.

manufacturers stating that they can

produce these yarns, and U.S.

companies state that they have the

equipment, capacity, and desire to

produce these yarns in commercial

quantities in a timely manner and, in

fact, are currently producing these

yarns. After submitting the petition,

Fabrictex approached several of these

companies about their production of

these yarns. Fabrictex’s request is

denied.

Acting Chairman, Committee for the

Implementation of Textile Agreements.

of alternatives for flood damage

reduction in Clear Creek, Texas. The

alternatives will be derived from a

General Reevaluation Report study,

which will focus on developing an array

of structural (channel modification,

bypass channel, bridge alteration, levee,

detention basin, etc). components from

which detailed alternative plans can be

developed. Nonstructural alternatives

will be developed where possible.

The local sponsors for the project are

Galveston County, Harris County Flood

Control District, and Brazoria County

Drainage District No. 4.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Questions about the proposed action

and DSEIS can be answered by: Mr.

workshops. Issues to be considered in

this process include riparian and
