Requirements for a Certain Part-Category Produced or Manufactured in 
Malaysia

May 9, 2002.
AGENCY: Committee for the Implementation of Textile Agreements (CITA).

ACTION: Issuing a directive to the Commissioner of Customs amending 
coverage for an import limit and visa and certification requirements.

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

EFFECTIVE DATE: May 15, 2002.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Keith Daly, International Trade 
Specialist, Office of Textiles and Apparel, U.S. Department of 
Commerce, (202) 482-3400.

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.
    The Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS) has been 
amended, and goods formerly classified in HTS heading 6110.10.2070 are 
now classified in HTS heading 6110.12.2070. The Uruguay Round Agreement 
on Textiles and Clothing and the U.S.-Malaysia export visa arrangement 
both utilize the HTS and include such goods within their scope. To 
facilitate implementation of these agreements, CITA is directing the 
Commissioner of Customs to amend monitoring and import control 
directives and visa and certification requirement directives for 
Malaysia to account for this change, amending part-Category 438-O.
    In the letter published below, the Chairman of CITA directs the 
Commissioner of Customs to amend monitoring, import control, and visa 
and certification requirements with respect to part-Category 438-O.

James C. Leonard III,
Chairman, Committee for the Implementation of Textile Agreements.
