Agreement (DR-CAFTA) Implementation Act (the Act) and the Federal Register Notice of February 21, 2006 published by the Committee for the Implementation of Textile Agreements, we submit this request regarding a modification to the list of fabrics, yarns and fibers not available in commercial quantities in a timely manner in the countries of the Dominican Republic-Central America-United States Free Trade Agreement, and request that the subject fabric be placed in a timely manner on the list in Annex 3.25 of the Agreement.

The fabric in question is a circular knit napped fleece fabric employing three yarn systems (three threads): the yarn appearing on the technical face of the fabric, a binder or “tie” yarn and the fleece or backing yarn which floats on the technical back of the fabric and is heavily napped to produce the fleece effect. Complete details of the fabric's composition and physical parameters are shown on the accompanying Exhibit.
