China, 70 FR 44568 (August 3, 2005). 

The Committee’s Procedures, 68 FR 

27787 (May 21, 2003) state that the 

Committee will make a determination 

within 60 calendar days of the close of 

the public comment period as to 

whether the United States will request 

consultations with China. If the 

Committee is unable to make a 

determination within 60 calendar days, 

it will cause to be published a notice in 

the Federal Register, including the date 

by which it will make a determination. 

The 60-day determination period for 

this case expired on November 1, 2005.

this case because of consultations with 

the Government of China on a broader 

agreement on textiles.

COMMITTEE FOR THE 

IMPLEMENTATION OF TEXTILE 

AGREEMENTS 

Solicitation of Public Comments on 

Request for Textile and Apparel 

Safeguard Action on Imports from 

China 

November 2, 2005. 

AGENCY: The Committee for the 

Implementation of Textile Agreements 

(the Committee). 

ACTION: Solicitation of public comments 

concerning a request for safeguard 

action on imports from China of cotton 

terry and other pile towels (Category 

363). 

SUMMARY: On October 11, 2005, the 

Committee received a request from the 

American Manufacturing Trade Action 

Coalition, the National Council of 

Textile Organizations, the National 

Textile Association, and UNITE HERE 

requesting that the Committee limit 

imports from China of cotton terry and 

other pile towels (Category 363). They 

request that a textile and apparel 

safeguard action, as provided for in the 

Report of the Working Party on the 

Accession of China to the World Trade 

Organization (the Accession Agreement) 

be applied on imports of such towels. 

The Committee hereby solicits public 

comments on this request, in particular 

with regard to whether imports from 

China of such towels are, due to market 

disruption, threatening to impede the 

orderly development of trade in this 

product. Comments must be submitted 

by December 7, 2005 to the Chairman, 

Committee for the Implementation of 

Textile Agreements, Room 3001A, 

United States Department of Commerce, 

14th and Constitution Avenue, N.W., 

Washington, DC 20230.

Dowling, Office of Textiles and Apparel,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Authority: Section 204 of the Agriculture 

Act of 1956, as amended; Executive Order 

11651, as amended. 

Background: 

The Report of the Working Party on 

the Accession of China to the World 

Trade Organization (WTO) provides 

that, if a WTO Member, such as the 

United States, believes that imports of 

Chinese origin textile and apparel 

products are, ‘‘due to market disruption, 

threatening to impede the orderly 

development of trade in these 

products’’, it may request consultations 

with China with a view to easing or 

avoiding the disruption. Pursuant to this 

provision, if the United States requests 

consultations with China, it must, at the 

time of the request, provide China with 

a detailed factual statement showing (1) 

the existence or threat of market 

disruption; and (2) the role of products 

of Chinese origin in that disruption. 

Beginning on the date that it receives 

such a request, China must restrict its 

shipments to the United States to a level 

no greater than 7.5 percent (6 percent 

for wool product categories) above the 

amount entered during the first 12 

months of the most recent 14 months 

preceding the month in which the 

request was made. 

The Committee has published 

procedures (the Procedures) it follows 

in considering requests for Accession 

Agreement textile and apparel safeguard 

actions (68 FR 27787, May 21, 2003; 68 

FR 49440, August 18, 2003), including 

the information that must be included 

in such requests in order for the 

Committee to consider them. 

On October 11, 2005, the Committee 

received a request that an Accession 

Agreement textile and apparel safeguard 

action be applied on imports from China 

of cotton terry and other pile towels 

(Category 363). The Committee has 

determined that this request provides 

the information necessary for the 

Committee to consider the request in 

light of the considerations set forth in 

the Procedures. The text of the request 

is available at http://otexa.ita.doc.gov/ 

Safeguard05.htm. 

The Committee is soliciting public 

comments on this request, in particular 

with regard to whether imports from 

China of such towels are, due to market 

disruption, threatening to impede the 

orderly development of trade in this 

product. 

Comments may be submitted by any 

interested person. Comments must be 

received no later than December 7, 

2005. Interested persons are invited to 

submit ten copies of such comments to 

the Chairman, Committee for the 

Implementation of Textile Agreements, 

Room 3001A, U.S. Department of 

Commerce, 14th and Constitution 

Avenue N.W., Washington, DC 20230. 

If a comment alleges that there is no 

market disruption or that the subject 

imports are not the cause of market 

disruption, the Committee will closely 

review any supporting information and 

documentation, such as information 

about domestic production or prices of 

like or directly competitive products. 

Particular consideration will be given to 

comments representing the views of 

actual producers in the United States of 

a like or directly competitive product. 

The Committee will protect any 

business confidential information that is 

marked ‘‘business confidential’’ from 

disclosure to the full extent permitted 

by law. To the extent that business 

confidential information is provided, 

two copies of a non-confidential version 

must also be provided in which 

business confidential information is 

summarized or, if necessary, deleted. 

Comments received, with the exception 

of information marked ‘‘business 

confidential’’, will be available for 

inspection between Monday - Friday, 

8:30 a.m and 5:30 p.m in the Trade 

Reference and Assistance Center Help 

Desk, Suite 800M, USA Trade 

Information Center, Ronald Reagan 

Building, 1300 Pennsylvania Avenue, 

NW, Washington, DC, (202) 482-3433. 

The Committee expects to make a 

determination within 60 calendar days 

of the close of the comment period as 

to whether the United States will 

request consultations with China. If, 

however, the Committee is unable to 

make a determination within 60 

calendar days, it will cause to be 

published a notice in the Federal 

Register, including the date by which it 

will make a determination. If the 

Committee makes a negative 

determination, it will cause this 

determination and the reasons therefore 

to be published in the Federal Register. 

If the Committee makes an affirmative 

determination that imports of Chinese 

origin cotton terry and other pile towels 

are, due to market disruption, 

threatening to impede the orderly 

Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 214 / Monday, November 7, 2005 / Notices 67459 

development of trade in these products, 

the United States will request 

consultations with China with a view to 

easing or avoiding such market 

disruption in accordance with the 

Accession Agreement and the 

Committee’s Procedures.
