COMMITTEE FOR THE 

IMPLEMENTATION OF TEXTILE 

AGREEMENTS 

Extension of Period of Determination 

on Request for Textile and Apparel 

Safeguard Action on Imports from 

China 

November 4, 2005. 

AGENCY: The Committee for the 

Implementation of Textile Agreements 

(the Committee). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Committee is extending 

through December 31, 2005, the period 

for making a determination on whether 

to request consultations with China 

regarding imports of cotton, wool and 

man-made fiber socks (Category 332/432 

and 642 Part). 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jay 

Dowling, Office of Textiles and Apparel, 

U.S. Department of Commerce, (202) 

482-4058. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Authority: Section 204 of the Agriculture 

Act of 1956, as amended; Executive Order 

11651, as amended. 

Background 

On July 8, 2005, the Committee 

received a request from the Domestic 

Manufacturers Committee of The 

Hosiery Association, the American 

Manufacturing Trade Action Coalition, 

the National Council of Textile 

Organizations, and the National Textile 

Association requesting that the 

Committee reapply a twelve-month 

limit that was established on October 

29, 2004, on imports from China of 

cotton, wool, and man-made socks 

(Category 332/432 and 632 Part). 

The Committee determined that this 

request provided the information 

necessary for the Committee to consider 

the request and solicited public 

comments for a period of 30 days. See 

Solicitation of Public Comments on 

Request for Textile and Apparel 

Safeguard Action on Imports from 

China, 70 FR 44565 (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. 

On that date, the United States and 

China signed an agreement to limit 

imports of socks from China from 

November 1 through December 31, 

2005. The Committee decided to extend 

through December 31, 2005, the period 

for making a determination on this case 

because of consultations with the 

Government of China on a broader 

agreement on textiles. 

James C. Leonard III, 

Chairman, Committee for the Implementation 

of Textile Agreements.

Team, Regulatory Information 

Management Services, Office of the 

Chief Information Officer, publishes that 

notice containing proposed information 

collection requests prior to submission 

of these requests to OMB. Each 

proposed information collection,

e.g. new, revision, extension, existing or 

reinstatement; (2) Title; (3) Summary of 

the collection; (4) Description of the 

need for, and proposed use of, the 

information; (5) Respondents and

of burden accurate; (4) how might the

Academies—Follow-Up Forms for 

Students and Teachers. 

Frequency: Annually. 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

household. 

Reporting and Recordkeeping Hour 

Burden: 

Responses: 2,288. 

Burden Hours: 2,288. 

Abstract: The original OMB package 

requested clearance for the baseline 

intake and administrative records 

instruments to be used in the Evaluation 

of the Impact of Literacy Interventions 

in Freshman Academies. This package 

requests clearance for additional followup instruments to collect information 

from teachers and high school ninthgrade students at the end of the school 

year. The teacher instruments gather 

data about implementation issues, and 

the student instrument focuses on 

student outcomes related to reading 

attitudes and behaviors. The study has 

also been expanded to include an 

additional cohort of students, and thus 

will examine the impacts of these 

literacy interventions on student 

outcomes for two cohorts of students 

instead of one.
