SUPPLEMENTARYINFORMATION: 

Authority: Section 203(o)(4) of the 

Dominican Republic-Central America-United 

States Free Trade Agreement Implementation 

Act (CAFTA-DR Act); the Statement of 

Administrative Action (SAA), accompanying 

the CAFTA-DR Act; Presidential 

Proclamations 7987 (February 28, 2006) and 

7996 (March 31, 2006). 

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)-(56), 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 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 

February 23, 2006, CITA published 

interim procedures it would follow in 

considering requests to modify the 

Annex 3.25 list (71 FR 9315). 

On January 17, 2007, the Chairman of 

CITA received a commercial availability 

request from Alston & Bird, LLP, on 

behalf of Glen River Trading, for certain 

two-way stretch woven fabrics of 

polyester, rayon, and elastomeric yarns, 

of the specifications detailed below. On 

January 19, 2007, CITA notified 

interested parties of, and posted on its 

website, the accepted petition and 

requested that interested entities 

provide, by January 31, 2007, a response 

advising of its objection to the 

commercial availability request or its 

ability to supply the subject product. 

CITA also explained that rebuttals to 

responses were due to CITA by February 

6, 2007. 

No interested entity filed a response 

advising of its objection to the request 

or its ability to supply the subject 

product. 

In accordance with Section 

203(o)(4)(C) of the CAFTA-DR Act, and 

its procedures, as no interested entity 

submitted a response objecting to the 

request or expressing an ability to 

supply the subject product, CITA has 

determined to add the specified fabrics 

to the list in Annex 3.25 of the CAFTADR Agreement. 

The subject fabrics are added to the 

list in Annex 3.25 of the CAFTA-DR 

Agreement in unrestricted quantities.
