COMMITTEE FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF TEXTILE AGREEMENTS


Reduction of Charges for Certain Cotton Textile Products Produced 
or Manufactured in the Republic of Turkey

November 16, 2001.
AGENCY: Committee for the Implementation of Textile Agreements (CITA).

ACTION: Issuing a directive to the Commissioner of Customs reducing 
charges.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

EFFECTIVE DATE: November 21, 2001.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Roy Unger, International Trade 
Specialist, Office of Textiles and Apparel, U.S. Department of 
Commerce, (202) 482-4212.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

    Authority: Section 204 of the Agricultural Act of 1956, as 
amended (7 U.S.C. 1854); Executive Order 11651 of March 3, 1972, as 
amended.
    On June 26, 2001, in response to a request from the Government of 
Turkey, CITA published an adjusted limit for Category 350 from Turkey. 
As a result of administrative error, the adjusted limit was incorrect, 
and the correct limit was published on September 10, 2001. During the 
interim period, the Government of Turkey issued visas, and exporters 
and importer engaged in commercial transactions, in reliance on the 
limit published on June 26. Since June 26, CITA has published other 
directives which provided additional quota to Turkey in this category. 
As parties relied on the amount published on June 26, CITA is 
instructing U.S. Customs to reduce the charges applied to the limit 
established in the directive dated October 27, 2000, for goods exported 
in 2001, for Category 350 by 9,533 dozens, the amount that CITA has 
determined would permit Turkey to ship the full amount published on 
June 26.

Acting Chairman, Committee for the Implementation of Textile 
Agreements.

    Sincerely,
