availability provision in Chapter 3,
Article 3.25, Paragraphs 4–6 of the
Agreement. Under this provision,
interested entities from Panama or the
United States have the right to request
that a specific fabric, yarn, or fiber be
added to, or removed from, the list of
commercially unavailable fabrics, yarns,
and fibers in Annex 3.25 of the
Agreement.
Pursuant to Chapter 3, Article 3.25,
paragraph 6 of the Agreement, which
requires that the President publish
procedures for parties to exercise the
right to make these requests, Section
203(o)(4) of the Act authorizes the
President to establish procedures to
modify the list of fabrics, yarns, or fibers
not available in commercial quantities
in a timely manner in either the United
States or Panama as set out in Annex
3.25 of the Agreement. The President
delegated the responsibility for
publishing the procedures and
administering commercial availability
requests to the Committee for the
Implementation of Textile Agreements
(‘‘CITA’’), which issues procedures and
acts on requests through the U.S.
Department of Commerce, Office of
Textiles and Apparel (‘‘OTEXA’’) (See
Proclamation No. 8894, 77 FR 66507,
November 5, 2012).
The intent of the U.S.-Panama TPA
Commercial Availability Procedures is
to foster the use of U.S. and regional
products by implementing procedures
that allow products to be placed on or
removed from a product list, on a timely
basis, and in a manner that is consistent
with normal business practice. The
procedures are intended to facilitate the
transmission of requests; allow the
market to indicate the availability of the
supply of products that are the subject
of requests; make available promptly, to
interested entities and the public,
information regarding the requests for
products and offers received for those
products; ensure wide participation by
interested entities and parties; allow for
careful review and consideration of
information provided to substantiate
requests and responses; and provide
timely public dissemination of
information used by CITA in making
commercial availability determinations.
CITA must collect certain information
about fabric, yarn, or fiber technical
specifications and the production
capabilities of Panamanian and U.S.
textile producers to determine whether
certain fabrics, yarns, or fibers are
available in commercial quantities in a
timely manner in the United States or
Panama, subject to Section 203(o) of the
Act.
