Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 223 / Tuesday, November 18, 2008 / Notices
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 October 9, 2008, the Chairman of
CITA received a request for a
commercial availability determination
(‘‘Request’’) under the CAFTA-DR from
Sharretts, Paley, Carter & Blauvelt, P.C.,
on behalf of Fishman & Tobin, for
certain 100% polyester stripe fabrics.
On October 10, 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
October 24, 2008, and any Rebuttal be
submitted by October 30, 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 CAFTA-

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Title: Part 38—Designated Contract
Markets, OMB Control No. 3038–0052.
This is a request for extension of a
currently approved information
collection.
Abstract: Designated contract markets
are fully regulated commodity futures
and options exchanges. Such markets,
prior to registration and on an ongoing
basis, must demonstrate compliance
with the criteria for designation (set
forth in Section 5(b) of the Commodity
Exchange Act, 7 U.S.C. 7(b)), the core
principles for operation (set forth in
Section 5(d) of the Act, 7 U.S.C. 7(d)),
and the provisions of Part 38 of the
Commission’s regulations, 17 CFR Part
38. Part 38 of the Commission’s
regulations governs the activities of
designated contract markets. The
information collected thereunder is
necessary for the Commission to
evaluate whether entities operating as,
or applying to become, designated
contract markets are in compliance with
the designation criteria and the core
principles delineated in the Act and the
Commission’s regulations adopted
thereunder. Appendix A to Part 38
provides guidance to applicants on how
the specific conditions for initial
designation may be met by an applicant.
Appendix B to Part 38 provides
guidance to applicants on how
designated contract markets can remain
in compliance with the core principles.
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number. The OMB control
numbers for the Commission’s
regulations were initially published on
December 30, 1981. See 46 FR 63035
(Dec. 30, 1981). The Federal Register
notice with a 60-day comment period
soliciting comments on this collection
of information was published on
September 12, 2008 (73 FR 52959). No
comments were received in response to
this publication.
