Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 152 / Wednesday, August 6, 2008 / Notices 45747 

of the USAFTA Implementation Act. 

See Section 203(o)(2)(B)(i) of the 

USAFTA Implementation Act. 

Executive Order 11651 established CITA 

to supervise the implementation of 

textile trade agreements and authorizes 

the Chairman of CITA to take actions or 

recommend that the United States take 

actions necessary to implement textile 

trade agreements. 37 FR 4699 (March 4, 

1972). 

On February 1, 2008, the Chairman of 

CITA received a request from Gentry 

Mills, alleging that certain viscose rayon 

fiber, classified in HSTUS subheading 

5504.10.0000, cannot be supplied by the 

domestic or Australian industry in 

commercial quantities in a timely 

manner and requesting that CITA 

consider whether the USAFTA rule of 

origin for 52% viscose/48% polyester 

blended yarn, classified under HTSUS 

subheading 5510.90.2000 should be 

modified to allow the use of non-U.S. 

and non-Australian viscose rayon fiber. 

On February 26, 2008, CITA published 

in the Federal Register a request for 

public comment on the proposed 

modification (73 FR 10227). No public 

comments were received alleging that 

viscose rayon fiber could be supplied in 

commercial quantities in a timely 

manner. Subsequently, the United 

States requested consultations with the 

Government of Australia on Gentry 

Mills’ request. In those consultations, 

the Government of Australia proposed 

expanding the scope of the modification 

of the rule of origin to all yarns under 

HTSUS subheading 5510.90 to allow the 

use of non-U.S. and non-Australian 

viscose rayon fiber. 

CITA is soliciting public comments 

regarding this proposal to expand the 

scope of the rule of origin modification 

to all yarns in HTSUS subheading 

5510.90 to allow the use of non-U.S. and 

non-Australian viscose rayon fiber. 

Comments must be received no later 

than September 5, 2008. Interested 

persons are invited to submit six copies 

of such comments or information to the 

Chairman, Committee for the 

Implementation of Textile Agreements, 

Room 3001, U.S. Department of 

Commerce, 14th and Constitution 

Avenue, N.W., Washington, DC 20230. 

CITA will protect any business 

confidential information that is marked 

‘‘business confidential’’ from disclosure 

to the full extent permitted by law. 

CITA will make available to the public 

non-confidential versions of the request 

and non-confidential versions of any 

public comments received with respect 

to a request in room 3001 in the Herbert 

Hoover Building, 14th and Constitution 

Avenue, N.W., Washington, DC 20230. 

Persons submitting comments on a 

request are encouraged to include a nonconfidential version and a nonconfidential summary. 

R. Matthew Priest, 

Chairman, Committee for the Implementation 

of Textile Agreements.
