SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

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)-(5), 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 CAFTADR 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 

September 15, 2008, CITA published 

modified procedures it would follow in 

considering requests to modify the 

Annex 3.25 list (73 FR 53200) 

(‘‘Procedures’’). 

On December 1, 2008, the Chairman 

of CITA received a Request for a 

commercial availability determination 

(‘‘Request’’) under the CAFTA-DR from 

Sorini Samet & Associates, LLC, on 

behalf of Hansoll Textile, Ltd., for 

certain printed raschel knit open work 

crepe fabric. On December 2, 2008, in 

accordance with CITA’s Procedures, 

CITA notified interested parties of the 

Request and posted the Request on the 

dedicated website for CAFTA-DR 

Commercial Availability proceedings. In 

its notification, CITA advised that any 

Response with an Offer to Supply 

(‘‘Response’’) must be submitted by 

December 15, 2008, and any Rebuttal be 

submitted by December 19, 2008. No 

interested entity submitted a Response 

advising CITA of its objection to the 

Request and its ability to supply the 

subject product. 

In accordance with section 

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

CITA’s Procedures, as no interested 

entity submitted a Response objecting to 

the Request and demonstrating its 

ability to supply the subject product, 

CITA has determined to add the 

specified fabric to the list in Annex 3.25 

of the CAFTA-DR Agreement. 

The subject product has been added 

to the list in Annex 3.25 of the CAFTADR Agreement in unrestricted
