SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Authority: The CAFTA–DR; Section
203(o)(4) of the Dominican RepublicCentral America-United States Free
Trade Agreement Implementation Act
(‘‘CAFTA–DR Implementation Act’’),
Public Law 109–53; the Statement of
Administrative Action accompanying
the CAFTA–DR Implementation Act;
and Presidential Proclamation 7987
(February 28, 2006).
Background: The CAFTA–DR
provides a list in Annex 3.25 for fabrics,
yarns, and fibers that the Parties to the
CAFTA–DR have determined are not
available in commercial quantities in a
timely manner in the territory of any
Party. The CAFTA–DR provides that
this list may be modified pursuant to
Article 3.25.4, when 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 of the
CAFTA–DR; see also section
203(o)(4)(C) of the CAFTA–DR
Implementation Act.
The CAFTA–DR Implementation 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 Proclamation
7987, the President delegated to CITA
the authority under section 203(o)(4) of
CAFTA–DR Implementation Act for
modifying the Annex 3.25 list. Pursuant
to this authority, on September 15,
2008, CITA published modified
procedures it would follow in
considering requests to modify the
Annex 3.25 list of products determined
to be not commercially available in the
territory of any Party to the CAFTA–DR
(Modifications to Procedures for
Considering Requests Under the
Commercial Availability Provision of
the Dominican Republic-Central
America-United States Free Trade
Agreement, 73 FR 53200) (‘‘CITA’s
Procedures’’).
On December 27, 2023, CITA received
a Commercial Availability Request
(‘‘Request’’) from The Powers
Manufacturing Company d/b/a Powers
Athletic (‘‘Powers Athletic’’) for certain
nylon dobby weave fabric, as specified
below. On December 29, 2023, in
accordance with CITA’s Procedures,
CITA notified interested parties of the
Request, which was posted 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
January 11, 2024, and any Rebuttal to a
Response (‘‘Rebuttal’’) must be
submitted by January 18, 2024, in
accordance with sections 6 and 7 of
CITA’s Procedures. No interested entity
submitted a Response to the Request
advising CITA of its objection to the
Request with an offer to supply the
subject product.
In accordance with section
203(o)(4)(C) of the CAFTA–DR
Implementation Act, and section 8(c)(2)
of CITA’s Procedures, as no interested
entity submitted a Response objecting to
the Request and providing an offer to
supply the subject product, CITA has
determined to add the specified fabric to
the list in Annex 3.25 of the CAFTA–
DR.
The subject product has been added
to the list in Annex 3.25 of the CAFTA–
DR Agreement in unrestricted
quantities. A revised list has been
posted on the dedicated website for
CAFTA–DR Commercial Availability
proceedings, at https://

Note: The yarn size designations describe
a range of specifications for yarn in its greige
condition. They are intended as
specifications to be followed by the mill in
sourcing yarn to produce the fabric. Weaving,
dyeing, and finishing can alter the
characteristic of the yarn as it appears in the
finished fabric. This specification therefore
includes yarns appearing in the finished
fabric as finer or coarser than the designated
yarn sizes, provided that the variation occurs
after processing of the greige yarn and
production of the fabric. Such processing
may alter the measurements.

including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions;
• Propose ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and
• Propose ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on those who are to respond, including
through the use of appropriate
automated, electronic, mechanical, or
other technological collection
techniques or other forms of information
technology.
Comments
A 60-day Notice requesting public
comment was published in the Federal
Register on September 7, 2023 at 88 FR
61575. This comment period ended
November 6, 2023. One public comment
was received from this notice. The
comment received inquired about (1)
data collection and data ownership, (2)
the purpose and need for the Public
Health AmeriCorps Technical
Assistance and Training Form, and (3)
the length of the Public Health
AmeriCorps Outcome Evaluation Draft
survey. Responses are:
• All data collected will be managed
and securely stored by the contractor
and delivered to the AmeriCorps Office
of Research and Evaluation (ORE) in
aggregate form during the contract term,
and after the contract ends, will be
delivered to ORE as a de-identified
public use data file and a restricted use
data file. ORE will securely store the
data and AmeriCorps programs will not
have access to the data except in
aggregate form, upon request.
• The Public Health AmeriCorps
Technical Assistance and Training form
was a requested instrument from the
program team. This instrument will
allow for the contractor to distill any
information that wasn’t already
collected in the grantee survey or focus
group guide. The instrument will be
used as a supplemental tool to capture
any additional information that wasn’t
collected in other activities.
• The evaluation team has been
mindful of the length and burden of the
member survey. The survey has gone
through several iterations and has been
shortened. The contractor piloted the
instrument with up to nine members
and conducted cognitive interviews
after the members completed the survey.
The version the contractor piloted took
participants on average less than 30
minutes to complete and participants
did not express dissatisfaction with the
length of the survey. The reason for
keeping questions that are also found in
the Member Exit Survey (MES) is that
participants in the Public Health
AmeriCorps evaluation might not

Jkt 262001

complete the MES, and consequently it
would not be possible to merge the two
surveys. It is important for the Public
Health AmeriCorps survey to include
complete data to address the evaluation
questions and to create more complete
datasets across the agency. We want to
ensure we close any gaps (intake
information and member surveys) and
confirm information already received.
The purpose of reaching out to members
who exited early is to better understand
their experience and the challenges they
encountered in completing their service.
This data may inform programmatic
changes with the aim of minimizing
attrition among members. We will also
benchmark the Public Health
AmeriCorps survey to other similar
public health program to see how Public
Health AmeriCorps is achieving the goal
of creating a pathway to public health
careers.
Title of Collection: Evaluation of
Public Health AmeriCorps.
OMB Control Number: 3045–NEW.
Type of Review: New.
Respondents/Affected Public:
Individuals and Households
(AmeriCorps Members) and Businesses
and Organizations (Grantees).
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 2,198.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 2,097.
Abstract: The evaluation will examine
the extent to which Public Health
AmeriCorps is progressing toward its
goals to address public health needs and
develop the next generation of public
health leaders. The evaluation will
answer questions about the challenges
and successes with program
implementation, recruitment and
retention of members, partnership
between grantees and other
organizations such as state and local
health departments, members’ career
intentions, and members’ professional
development. This information
collection request includes several
information collection instruments: a
member alumni survey, an early exit
survey, a grantee survey, a training and
technical assistance form, grantee focus
group questions, early exit interview
questions, and partner interview
questions. The burden hour per
response for each of these instruments
ranges from 15 minutes to an hour and
a half. Throughout the evaluation design
process, AmeriCorps received feedback
and guidance from partners and
advisory groups, including AmeriCorps
staff, CDC staff, and public health and
