BILLING CODE 3510–22–P 

COMMITTEE FOR THE 

IMPLEMENTATION OF TEXTILE 

AGREEMENTS 

Exemption from Category 647/648 of 

Ski and Snowboard Pants 

Manufactured in the People’s Republic 

of China 

October 26, 2005. 

AGENCY: Committee for the 

Implementation of Textile Agreements 

(CITA). 

ACTION: Issuing a directive to the 

Commissioner, Customs and Border 

Protection, to not subject ski and 

snowboard pants to limits on category 

647/648 and to release them from the 

current embargo for goods manufactured 

in the People’s Republic of China. 

EFFECTIVE DATE: November 1, 2005. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Philip J. Martello, Director, Trade and 

Data Division, Office of Textiles and 

Apparel, U.S. Department of Commerce, 

(202) 482-3400. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Authority: Section 204 of the Agriculture 

Act of 1956 (7 U.S.C. 1854); Executive Order 

11651, 37 Fed. Reg. 4699 (Mar. 3, 1972), as 

amended. 

CITA has determined that certain 

imports of ski and snowboard pants 

from China do not contribute to the 

market disruption found in category 

647/648 goods. CITA based this 

determination on its belief that these ski 

and snowboard pant imports of Chinese 

origin were not, due to market 

disruption, threatening to impede the 

orderly development of trade in these 

products. Specifically, CITA determined 

that ski/snowboard pants should not be 

covered by the 2005 safeguard quota. 

CITA has received new information 

indicating that there is minimal 

domestic production of the ski/ 

snowboard pants products; the ski/ 

snowboard pants products are seasonal 

products with limited end-use; the ski/ 

snowboard pants products account for 

de minimis import quantities; thus, the 

exclusion does not undermine the 

market disruption finding or require the 

readjustment of the quota calculation; 

and the ski/snowboard pants products 

are easily definable in the HTS schedule 

for enforcement purposes and the 

specificity of the definition ensures that 

this provision will apply only to those 

items that meet the narrow parameters 

established in the tariff items and in the 

statistical note of the Harmonized Tariff 

Schedule of the United States (HTSUS). 

The HTSUS has been modified to 

establish a new statistical note for ski/ 

snowboard pants applicable to HTSUS 

items 6203.43.3510, 6204.63.3010, 

6210.40.5031, and 6210.50.5031. Ski 

and snowboard pants can also be 

imported as parts of ski suits, classified 

under HTSUS items 6211.20.1525 and 

6211.20.1555. 

Effective on November 1, 2005, for 

goods produced or manufactured in the 

People’s Republic of China, that meet 

the definition of ski/snowboard pants, 

provided below, classified in HTSUS 

items 6203.43.3510, 204.63.3010, 

6210.40.5031, and 6210.50.5031, and 

trousers imported as parts of ski-suits 

classified under HTSUS items 

6211.20.1525 and 6211.20.1555, CITA is 

directing the Commissioner, Customs 

and Border Protection, to not subject 

these products to restrictions 

established for category 647/648 in 2005 

and to allow entry of such goods no 

longer subject to the embargo currently 

in effect for category 647/648 goods. 

Definition: 

For the purposes of subheadings 

6203.43.3510, 6204.63.3010, 

6210.40.5031, and 6210.50.5031: 

The term ‘‘ski/snowboard pants’’

means ankle-length pants made of 

synthetic fabrics, with or without 

insulation for cold weather protection, 

with zippered or hook and loop 

enclosed pockets, sealed seams and 

hidden elastic leg sleeves, and with one 

or more of the following: side openings, 

scuff guards or reinforcement in the 

seat. A sealed seam is one that has been 

covered, on the backside of the fabric, 

with tape or a coating to ‘‘bridge’’ the 

seam so that air and water cannot pass 

through. The tape or coating may be 

applied using heat and/or pressure. 

James C. Leonard III, 

Chairman, Committee for the Implementation 

of Textile Agreements. 

Committee for the Implementation of Textile 

Agreements

Dear Commissioner: On May 26, 2005, the

65890 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 210 / Tuesday, November 1, 2005 / Notices 

through December 31, 2005. The limit

Effective on November 1, 2005, you are 

directed to exempt from the 2005 restraint 

established for category 647/648 goods 

manufactured in China, goods that meet the 

definition of ski/snowboard pants, provided 

below, classified in items 6203.43.3510,

Schedule of the United States and trousers 

imported as parts of ski-suits, classified in 

items 6211.20.1525 and 6211.20.1555. You 

are further directed to release from the 

embargo on category 647/648 and allow entry 

of such ski and snowboard pants, produced 

or manufactured in the People’s Republic of 

China and entered for consumption or 

withdrawn from warehouse for consumption 

into the United States on and after November 

1, 2005. 

Definition: 

For the purposes of headings 6203.43.3510, 

6204.63.3010, 6210.40.5031, and 

6210.50.5031: 

The term ‘‘ski/snowboard pants’’ means 

ankle-length pants made of synthetic fabrics, 

with or without insulation for cold weather 

protection, with zippered or hook and loop 

enclosed pockets, sealed seams and hidden 

elastic leg sleeves, and with one or more of 

the following: side openings, scuff guards or 

reinforcement in the seat. A sealed seam is 

one that has been covered, on the backside 

of the fabric, with tape or a coating to 

‘‘bridge’’ the seam so that air and water 

cannot pass through. The tape or coating may 

be applied using heat and/or pressure. 

The Committee for the Implementation of 

Textile Agreements has determined that this 

action falls within the foreign affairs 

exception to the rulemaking provisions of 5 

U.S.C. 553(a)(1). 

Sincerely, 

James C. Leonard III, 

Chairman, Committee for the 

Implementation of Textile Agreements.
