SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

    The Correlation: Textile and Apparel Categories based on the 
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (1998) presents the 
harmonized tariff numbers under each of the cotton, wool, man-made 
fiber, silk blend and other vegetable fiber categories used by the 
United States in monitoring imports of these textile products and in 
the administration of the textile program. The Correlation should be 
amended to include the changes indicated below. These changes were 
effective on March 1, 1998:

                     Changes to the 1998 Correlation                    
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
These are new numbers and definitions for cooler bags:                  
Add 6307.90.9905 (369)--Cooler bags with an outer surface of textile    
 materials, of cotton.                                                  
Add 6307.90.9907 (670)--Cooler bags with an outer surface of textile    
 materials, of man-made fibers.                                         
Add 6307.90.9909 (870)--Other cooler bags with an outer surface of      
 textile materials.                                                     
These numbers were renumbered due to the creation of the statistical    
 breakouts for cooler bags in chapter 63. The categories and definitions
 remain the same:                                                       
4202.92.3015 (369) becomes 4202.92.3016 (369).                          
4202.92.3030 (670) becomes 4202.92.3031 (670).                          
4202.92.3090 (870) becomes 4202.92.3091 (870).                          
Additional change:                                                      
Replace 6505.90.9095 (859) with 6505.90.9085 (859)--Other hats and other
 headgear, knitted or crocheted, not elsewhere specified or included.
