Abstract: This collection of information is necessary to administer Tariff Rate Quotas (TRQ) for domestic manufacturers who cut and sew men’s and boy’s cotton shirts in the United States from imported woven fabrics of cotton containing 85 percent or more by weight of cotton.

Emergency Justfication: The Department must collect certain information in order to fairly allocate the TRQ to eligible persons. Failure to make public the information requirements before the end of March, would cause the Department to delay allocation of the TRQ, until well beyond the effective date of January 1, 2007. Recipients of a TRQ allocation require sufficient time to order cotton woven fabric eligible for the TRQ from abroad, and for such merchandise to be shipped and cleared through U.S. Customs before the end of 2007, if they are to benefit from the statute as intended by Congress
