SUMMARY: On August 3, 2004, the Chairman of CITA received four 
petitions from Sharretts, Paley, Carter & Blauvelt, P.C., on behalf of 
Fishman & Tobin, alleging that certain woven fabrics, of certain 
specifications, cannot be supplied by the domestic industry in 
commercial quantities in a timely manner. The petitions requested that 
apparel articles of such fabrics assembled in one or more CBTPA 
beneficiary countries be eligible for preferential treatment under the 
CBTPA. On August 9, 2004, CITA published a notice in the Federal 
Register (69 FR 48224) soliciting public comments on these petitions, 
in particular with regard to whether these fabrics can be supplied by 
the domestic industry in commercial quantities in a timely manner.
    On August 24, 2004, CITA received letter from Sharretts, Paley, 
Carter & Blauvelt, P.C. withdrawing one of the petitions. The fabric 
covered by the petition that is being withdrawn was identified as 
Fabric 2 in the Federal Register notice. The specifications of this 
fabric are repeated below.
