Title III, Subtitle B, Section 321 through Section 328 of the U.S.-Oman Free Trade Agreement Implementation Act (the "Act") implements the textile and apparel safeguard provisions, provided for in Article 3.1 of the U.S.-Oman Free Trade Agreement. This safeguard mechanism applies when, as a result of the elimination of a customs duty, a textile or apparel import from Oman is being imported into the U.S. in such increased quantities as to cause serious damage or actual threat thereof to a U.S. industry producing a like or directly competitive article. In these circumstances, the U.S. can increase duties on the imported article from Oman, to the most-favored-nation (MFN) duty rate. The Statement of Administrative Action accompanying the Act provides that the Committee for the Implementation of Textile Agreements (CITA) will issue procedures for requesting such safeguard measures, for making its determinations under section 322(a) of the Act, and for providing relief under section 322(b) of the Act. In Proclamation No. 8332 (73 FR 80289, December 31, 2008), the President delegated to CITA his authority with respect to textile and apparel safeguard measures. CITA must collect information to determine whether a domestic textile or apparel industry is being adversely impacted by imports of these products from Oman, thereby allowing CITA to take corrective action.
