Miscellaneous International Trade Notices
The International Trade Administration (ITA) has issued a notice announcing the allocation of the calendar year 2005 tariff-rate quotas (TRQs) for the importation of two types of worsted wool fabrics at the in-quota (low) TRQ duty rate to qualifying U.S. makers of men's and boys' worsted wool suits, suit-type jackets, and trousers. The ITA notes that while its notice contains the names of the allocation recipients, it is not publishing these recipients' allocation amounts because these amounts are based on applicant data that is generally considered business confidential. (ITA notice, FR Pub 12/14/04) available at http://a257.g.akamaitech.net/7/257/2422/06jun20041800/edocket.access.gpo.gov/2004/pdf/E4-3642.pdf.)
