                Proclamation 7468 of September 19, 2001

                
To Modify Duty-Free Treatment Under the 
                Generalized System of Preferences

                By the President of the United States of America

                A Proclamation

                1. Section 503(c)(2)(C) of the Trade Act of 1974, as 
                amended (the ``1974 Act'') (19 U.S.C. 2463(c)(2)(C)), 
                provides that a country that is no longer treated as a 
                beneficiary developing country with respect to an 
                eligible article for purposes of the Generalized System 
                of Preferences (GSP) because imports of the article 
                from that country exceeded the competitive need 
                limitations in section 503(c)(2)(A) of the 1974 Act (19 
                U.S.C. 2463(c)(2)(A)) may be redesignated as a 
                beneficiary developing country with respect to the 
                article if imports of the article from that country did 
                not exceed those limitations during the preceding 
                calendar year.

                2. Pursuant to section 503(c)(2)(C) of the 1974 Act, I 
                have determined that Indonesia should be redesignated 
                as a beneficiary developing country with respect to 
                certain eligible articles that previously had been 
                imported in quantities exceeding the competitive need 
                limitations of section 503(c)(2)(A).

                3. Section 604 of the 1974 Act (19 U.S.C. 2483), 
                authorizes the President to embody in the Harmonized 
                Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS) the 
                substance of the relevant provisions of that Act, and 
                of other acts affecting import treatment, and actions 
                thereunder, including the removal, modification, 
                continuance, or imposition of any rate of duty or other 
                import restriction.

                NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the 
                United States of America, acting under the authority 
                vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the 
                United States of America, including title V and section 
                604 of the 1974 Act, do proclaim that:

                    (1) In order to provide that Indonesia, which has 
                not been treated as a beneficiary developing country 
                with respect to certain eligible articles, should be 
                redesignated as a beneficiary developing country with 
                respect to those articles for purposes of the GSP:
                    (a) general note 4(d) to the HTS is modified as 
                provided in paragraph (1) of the Annex to this 
                proclamation; and
                    (b) the Rates of Duty 1-Special subcolumn for each 
                of the HTS subheadings enumerated in paragraph (2) of 
                the Annex to this proclamation is modified as provided 
                in such paragraph.
                    (2) Any provisions of previous proclamations and 
                Executive Orders that are inconsistent with the actions 
                taken in this proclamation are superseded to the extent 
                of such inconsistency.
                    (3) The modifications made by the Annex to this 
                proclamation shall be effective with respect to 
                articles entered, or withdrawn from warehouse for 
                consumption, on or after the date of publication of 
                this proclamation in the Federal Register.
