                Memorandum of June 30, 1994

 

Actions Concerning the Generalized System of 
                Preferences

                Memorandum for the United States Trade Representative

                Pursuant to section 504 of the Trade Act of 1974, as 
                amended (the 1974 Act) (19 U.S.C. 2464), I am 
                authorized and to modify the application of duty-free 
                treatment under the Generalized System of Preferences 
                (GSP) currently being afforded to such beneficiary 
                developing countries as a result of my determinations.

                Pursuant to section 504 of the 1974 Act, after 
                considering various requests for a waiver of the 
                application of section 504(c) of the 1974 Act (19 
                U.S.C. 2464)(c)) with respect to certain eligible 
                articles, I have determined that it is appropriate to 
                modify the application of duty-free treatment under the 
                GSP currently being afforded to certain articles and to 
                certain beneficiary developing countries.

                Specifically, pursuant to section 504(c)(3) of the 1974 
                Act (19 U.S.C. 2464(c)(3)), I have determined that it 
                is appropriate to waive the application of section 
                504(c) of the 1974 Act with respect to certain eligible 
                articles from certain beneficiary developing countries. 
                I have received the advice of the United States 
                International Trade Commission on whether any 
                industries in the United States are likely to be 
                adversely affected by such waivers, and I have 
                determined, based on that advice and on the 
                considerations described in sections 501 and 502(c) of 
                the 1974 Act (19 U.S.C. 2461 and 2462(c)), that such 
                waivers are in the national economic interest of the 
                United States. The waivers of the application of 
                section 504(c) of the 1974 Act apply to the eligible 
                articles in the HTS subheadings and the beneficiary 
                developing countries set opposite such HTS subheadings 
                enumerated below.
