Meat Import Limitations; First Quarterly Estimate

    Public Law 88-482, enacted August 22, 1964, as amended (19 U.S.C. 
2253 note (the ``Act''), provided for limiting the quantity of fresh, 
chilled, or frozen meat of bovine, sheep except lamb, and goats; and 
processed meat of beef or veal (Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 
United States subheadings 0201.10.00, 0201.20.20, 0201.10.40, 
0201.20.60, 0201.30.20, 0201.30.40, 0201.30.60, 0202.10.00, 0202.20.20, 
0202.20.40, 0202.20.60, 0202.30.20, 0202.30.40, 0202.30.60, 0204.21.00, 
0204.22.40, 0204.23.40, 0204.41.00, 0204.42.40, 0204.43.40, and 
0204.50.00), other than Canada and Mexico, which may be imported into 
the United States in any Calendar year. Such limitations are to be 
imposed when the Secretary of Agriculture estimates that imports of 
articles, other than products of Canada and Mexico, provided for in 
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States subheadings 0201.10.00, 
0201.20.40, 0201.20.60, 0201.30.40, 0201.30.60, 0202.10.00, 0202.20.40, 
0202.20.60, 0202.30.40, 0202.30.60, 0204.21.00, 0204.22.40, 0204.23.40, 
0204.41.00, 0204.42.40, 0204.43.40, and 0204.50.00 (hereinafter 
referred to as ``meat articles''), in the absence of limitations under 
the Act during such calendar year, would equal or exceed 110 percent of 
the estimated aggregate quantity of meat articles prescribed for 
calendar year 1994 by subsection 2(c) as adjusted under subsection 2(d) 
of the Act.
    In accordance with the requirements of the Act, I have made the 
following estimates:
    1. The estimated aggregate quantity of meat articles prescribed by 
subsection 2(c) as adjusted by subsection 2(d) of the Act for calendar 
year 1994 is 1,108.1 million pounds.
    2. The first quarterly estimate of the aggregate quantity of meat 
articles which would, in the absence of limitations under the Act, be 
imported during calendar year 1994 is 1,218.8 million pounds.

    Done at Washington, DC this 30th day of December, 1993.
Mike Espy,
Secretary.
