Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 223 / Tuesday, November 18, 2008 / Notices 68421 

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, Note; see 

also section 203(o)(4)(C) of the CAFTADR Act. 

The CAFTA-DR 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 Act for 

modifying the Annex 3.25 list. On 

September 15, 2008, CITA published 

modified procedures it would follow in 

considering requests to modify the 

Annex 3.25 list (73 FR 53200) 

(‘‘procedures’’). 

On October 9, 2008, the Chairman of 

CITA received a request for a 

commercial availability determination 

(‘‘Request’’) under the CAFTA-DR from 

Sharretts, Paley, Carter & Blauvelt, P.C., 

on behalf of Fishman & Tobin, for 

certain 100% polyester stripe fabrics. 

On October 10, 2008, in accordance 

with CITA’s procedures, CITA notified 

interested parties of the Request and 

posted the Request on the dedicated 

website for CAFTA-DR Commercial 

Availability proceedings. In its 

notification, CITA advised that any 

Response with an Offer to Supply 

(‘‘Response’’) must be submitted by 

October 24, 2008, and any Rebuttal be 

submitted by October 30, 2008. No 

interested entity submitted a Response 

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 Act, and 

CITA’s procedures, as no interested 

entity submitted a Response objecting to 

the Request and demonstrating its 

ability 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 CAFTADR Agreement in unrestricted 

quantities. A revised list has been 

posted on the dedicated website for 

CAFTA-DR Commercial Availability 

proceedings.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Part 38—Designated Contract 

Markets, OMB Control No. 3038–0052. 

This is a request for extension of a 

currently approved information 

collection. 

Abstract: Designated contract markets 

are fully regulated commodity futures 

and options exchanges. Such markets, 

prior to registration and on an ongoing 

basis, must demonstrate compliance 

with the criteria for designation (set 

forth in Section 5(b) of the Commodity 

Exchange Act, 7 U.S.C. 7(b)), the core 

principles for operation (set forth in 

Section 5(d) of the Act, 7 U.S.C. 7(d)), 

and the provisions of Part 38 of the 

Commission’s regulations, 17 CFR Part 

38. Part 38 of the Commission’s 

regulations governs the activities of 

designated contract markets. The 

information collected thereunder is 

necessary for the Commission to 

evaluate whether entities operating as, 

or applying to become, designated 

contract markets are in compliance with 

the designation criteria and the core 

principles delineated in the Act and the 

Commission’s regulations adopted 

thereunder. Appendix A to Part 38 

provides guidance to applicants on how 

the specific conditions for initial 

designation may be met by an applicant. 

Appendix B to Part 38 provides 

guidance to applicants on how 

designated contract markets can remain 

in compliance with the core principles. 

An agency may not conduct or 

sponsor, and a person is not required to 

respond to, a collection of information 

unless it displays a currently valid OMB 

control number. The OMB control 

numbers for the Commission’s 

regulations were initially published on 

December 30, 1981. See 46 FR 63035 

(Dec. 30, 1981). The Federal Register 

notice with a 60-day comment period 

soliciting comments on this collection 

of information was published on
