                Proclamation 7505 of November 21, 2001

                
To Modify the Tariff-Rate Quota Applicable to 
                Imports of Steel Wire Rod

                By the President of the United States of America

                A Proclamation

                1. On February 16, 2000, pursuant to section 203 of the 
                Trade Act of 1974, as amended (the ``Trade Act'') (19 
                U.S.C. 2253), President Clinton issued Proclamation 
                7273, which imposed a tariff-rate quota (TRQ) on 
                certain steel wire rod imports provided for in 
                subheadings 7213.91, 7213.99, 7227.20 and 7227.90.60 of 
                the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States 
                (HTS) for a period of 3 years plus 1 day. Proclamation 
                7273 did not allocate the in-quota quantity of the TRQ 
                among supplier countries.

                2. Pursuant to section 203(g) of the Trade Act (19 
                U.S.C. 2253(g)), in order to provide for the efficient 
                and fair administration of the TRQ, I have determined 
                that the in-quota quantity of the TRQ should be 
                allocated among supplier countries in the manner set 
                forth in the Annex to this proclamation.

                3. Section 604 of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2483) 
                authorizes the President to embody in the 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 but not limited to 
                sections 203 and 604 of the Trade Act, do proclaim 
                that:

                    (1) In order to allocate the in-quota quantity of 
                the TRQ on wire rod imports, subchapter III of chapter 
                99 of the HTS is modified as set forth in the Annex to 
                this proclamation.
                    (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) Effective at the close of March 1, 2004, or 
                such other date that is 1 year from the close of this 
                relief, the U.S. note and tariff provisions established 
                in the Annex of this proclamation shall be deleted from 
                the HTS.
                    (4) The modifications to the HTS made by this 
                proclamation and the Annex hereto shall be effective 
                with respect to goods entered, or withdrawn from 
                warehouse for consumption, after the close of November 
                23, 2001, and shall continue in effect through the 
                close of March 1, 2003, unless such actions are earlier 
                expressly modified or terminated.
