Meat Import Limitations; Third Quarterly Estimate

    The Meat Import Act of 1979, as amended (19 U.S.C. 2253 note) (the 
``Act''), provides 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, 0201.20.40, 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 
products of 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 section 2(c) as adjusted under section 2(d) of the Act.
    As announced in the Notice published in the Federal Register on 
January 6, 1994 (59 FR 727), the estimated aggregate quantity of meat 
articles other than products of Canada and Mexico prescribed by section 
2(c) as adjusted by section 2(d) of the Act for calendar year 1994 is 
1,108.1 million pounds.
    In accordance with the requirements of the Act, I have determined 
that the third quarterly estimate of the aggregate quantity of meat 
articles other than products of Canada and Mexico 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 June, 1994.
Mike Espy,
Secretary of Agriculture.
