Subject:  Determination Under Subsection 402(d)(1) of the Trade Act of

Republic of China

    Pursuant to the authority vested in me under the Trade Act of 1974, 
as amended, Public Law 93-618, 88 Stat. 1978 (the ``Act''), I have 
determined, pursuant to section 402(d)(1) of the Act, 19 U.S.C.

by section 402(c) of the Act will substantially promote the objectives 
of section 402 of the Act. I further determine that continuation of the 
waiver applicable to the People's Republic of China will substantially 
promote the objectives of section 402 of the Act.
    You are authorized and directed to publish this determination in the
