SUMMARY:

Public
Law 109–53, the Dominican RepublicCentral America-United States Free
Trade Agreement Implementation Act
(the ‘‘CAFTA–DR Act’’) approved the
CAFTA–DR Agreement. Presidential
Proclamations 7987 of February 28,
2006, 7991 of March 24, 2006, 7996 of
March 31, 2006, 8034 of June 30, 2006,
8111 of March 1, 2007, and 8331 of
December, 23 2008, implemented the
CAFTA–DR Agreement with respect to
the United States and, pursuant to the
CAFTA–DR Act, incorporated in the
HTS the tariff modifications and rules of
origin necessary or appropriate to carry
out the CAFTA–DR Agreement. On
February 23, 2011, the CAFTA–DR
Agreement Free Trade Commission
adopted a decision to modify certain
rules of origin for textile and apparel
products set forth in Annex 4.1 of the
CAFTA–DR.
Public Law 112–163 enacted these
modifications into the HTS, however,
they have not entered into force. The
law provides that these modifications
apply to goods of a CAFTA–DR Party
that are entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse for consumption, on or after
the date that the USTR determines is the
first date on which the equivalent
amendments to the rules of origin to the
CAFTA–DR have entered into force in
all other CAFTA–DR Parties. After
making this determination, the USTR is
to publish notice of such determination
in the Federal Register. This notice
announces that the USTR has
determined that the date on which the
equivalent amendments to the rules of
origin to the CAFTA–DR have entered
into force in all other CAFTA–DR
Parties is October 13, 2012, and that the
modifications to the HTS pursuant to

Total Annual Burden: 891.
Needs and Uses: 14 CFR part 380
establishes the regulations of the
Department’s terms and conditions
governing Public Charter operators to
conduct air transportation using direct
air carriers. Public Charter operators
arrange transportation for groups of
people on chartered aircraft. This
arrangement is less expensive for the
travelers than individually buying a
ticket. Part 380 exempts charter
operators from certain provisions of the
U.S. code in order that they may
provide this service. A primary goal of
Part 380 is to seek protection for the
consumer. Accordingly, the rule
stipulates that the charter operator must
file evidence (a prospectus—consisting
of OST Forms 4532, 4533, 4534 and
4535) with the Department for each
charter program certifying that it has
entered into a binding contract with a
direct air carrier to provide air
transportation and that it has also
entered into agreements with
Department-approved financial
institutions for the protection of charter
participants’ funds. The prospectus
must be approved by the Department
prior to the operator’s advertising,
selling or operating the charter. If the
prospectus information were not
collected it would be extremely difficult
to assure compliance with agency rules
and to assure that public security and
other consumer protection requirements
were in place for the traveling public.
The information collected is available
for public inspection (unless the
respondent specifically requests
confidential treatment). Part 380 does
not provide any assurances of
confidentiality.

19, 2012.
