SUMMARY: This document notifies the public that the list of foreign 
entities identified by Customs as having violated the textile 
transshipment rules--authorized to be published by section 333(a) of 
the Uruguay Round Agreements Act--will not be published for this 
semiannual period, because Customs has not identified any violators 
during this time period that clearly fall within the purview of this

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    Section 333 of the Uruguay Round Agreements Act (URAA) (Public Law 
103-465, 108 Stat. 4809) (signed December 12, 1994), entitled Textile 
Transshipments, amended Part V of title IV of the Tariff Act of 1930 by 
creating a new section 592A, which authorizes the Secretary of the 
Treasury to publish in the Federal Register a list of foreign entities, 
i.e., the names of any producers, manufacturers, suppliers, sellers, 
exporters, or any other persons located outside the Customs territory 
of the United States, against whom Customs has issued a penalty claim 
under section 592 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, citing a 
violation of the Customs textile transshipment rules. See, 19 U.S.C. 
1592A(a)(2). The list is to be published semiannually not later than 
March 31 and September 30 of each year.
    In reviewing all information available, Customs has found that no 
one clearly falls within the purview of this section during this time 
period. Accordingly, no list will be published for the period ending 
March 31, 1995.

    Dated: March 30, 1995.

Assistant Commissioner, Office of Regulations and Rulings.
