      Proc. No. 6763, Dec. 23, 1994, 60 F.R. 1007, as amended by Proc.
    No. 6780, Mar. 23, 1995, 60 F.R. 15849; Proc. No. 6857, Dec. 11,
    1995, 60 F.R. 64817; Proc. No. 6948, Oct. 29, 1996, 61 F.R. 56387,
    provided:
      1. On April 15, 1994, the President entered into trade agreements
    resulting from the Uruguay Round of multilateral trade negotiations
    ("the Uruguay Round Agreements"). In section 101(a) of the Uruguay
    Round Agreements Act ("the URAA") (Public Law 103-465; 108 Stat.
    4809) [19 U.S.C. 3511(a)], the Congress approved the Uruguay Round
    Agreements listed in section 101(d) of that Act.
      2. (a) Sections 1102(a) and (e) of the Omnibus Trade and
    Competitiveness Act of 1988, as amended ("the 1988 Act") (19 U.S.C.
    2902(a) and (e)), authorize the President to proclaim such
    modification or continuance of any existing duty, such continuance
    of existing duty-free or excise treatment, or such additional
    duties, as he determines to be required or appropriate to carry out
    any trade agreements entered into under those sections.
      (b) Accordingly, I have determined that it is required or
    appropriate in order to carry out the Uruguay Round Agreements,
    which were entered into under sections 1102(a) and (e) of the 1988
    Act (19 U.S.C. 2902(a) and (e)), that I proclaim the modifications
    and continuances of existing duties, duty-free treatments, excise
    treatments, and additional duties set forth in the Annex to this
    proclamation.
      3. (a) Section 111(a) of the URAA [19 U.S.C. 3521(a)] authorizes
    the President to proclaim such other modification of any duty, such
    other staged rate reduction, or such other additional duties beyond
    those authorized by section 1102 of the 1988 Act (19 U.S.C. 2902)
    as the President determines to be necessary or appropriate to carry
    out Schedule XX - United States of America, annexed to the
    Marrakesh Protocol to the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade
    1994 ("Schedule XX").
      (b) Accordingly, I have determined that it is necessary or
    appropriate to carry out Schedule XX to proclaim such other
    modifications of duties, such other staged rate reductions, and
    such other additional duties, beyond those authorized by section
    1102 of the 1988 Act (19 U.S.C. 2902), as are set forth in the
    Annex to this proclamation.
      4. Section 111(d) of the URAA [19 U.S.C. 3521(d)] requires the
    President to proclaim the rate of duty set forth in Column B of the
    table set forth in that section as the column 2 rate of duty for
    the subheading of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United
    States ("HTS") [see 19 U.S.C. 1202] that corresponds to the
    subheading in Schedule XX listed in Column A.
      5. (a) Section 22(f) of the Agricultural Adjustment Act ("the
    Adjustment Act") (7 U.S.C. 624(f)), as amended by section 401(a)(1)
    of the URAA, provides that, as of the date of entry into force of
    the Agreement Establishing the World Trade Organization ("the WTO
    Agreement"), no quantitative limitation or fee shall be imposed
    under that section with respect to any article that is the product
    of a World Trade Organization member, as defined in section 2(10)
    of the URAA [19 U.S.C. 3501(10)].
      (b) Section 401(a)(2) of the URAA [7 U.S.C. 624 note] further
    provides that, with respect to wheat, amended section 22(f) of the
    Adjustment Act (7 U.S.C. 624(f)) shall be effective on the later of
    the date of entry into force of the WTO Agreement or September 12,
    1995.
      (c) Accordingly, I have decided that it is necessary to provide
    for the termination of all quantitative limitations and fees
    previously proclaimed under section 22 of the Adjustment Act (7
    U.S.C. 624), other than those for wheat, as provided in the Annex
    to this proclamation.
      6. (a) Section 404(a) of the URAA [19 U.S.C. 3601(a)] directs the
    President to take such action as may be necessary in implementing
    the tariff-rate quotas set out in Schedule XX to ensure that
    imports of agricultural products do not disrupt the orderly
    marketing of commodities in the United States.
      (b) Section 404(d)(3) of the URAA authorizes the President to
    allocate the in-quota quantity of a tariff-rate quota for any
    agricultural product among supplying countries or customs areas and
    to modify any allocation, as he determines appropriate.
      (c) Section 404(d)(5) of the URAA authorizes the President to
    proclaim additional U.S. note 3 to chapter 17 of the HTS, dealing
    with imports of sugar, together with appropriate modifications
    thereto, to reflect Schedule XX.
      (d) Section 405 of the URAA [19 U.S.C. 3602] directs the
    President to cause to be published in the Federal Register the list
    of special safeguard agricultural goods and, if appropriate, to
    impose price-based or volume-based safeguards with respect to such
    goods consistent with Article 5 of the Agreement on Agriculture
    annexed to the WTO Agreement, and authorizes the President to
    exempt from any safeguard duty any goods originating in a country
    that is a party to the North American Free Trade Agreement ("the
    NAFTA").
      7. Presidential Proclamation No. 6641 of December 15, 1993 [108
    Stat. 5134], implemented the NAFTA with respect to the United
    States and, pursuant to sections 201 and 202 of the North American
    Free Trade Agreement Implementation Act ("the NAFTA Act") (19
    U.S.C. 3331 and 3332), incorporated in the HTS the tariff
    modifications and rules of origin necessary or appropriate to carry
    out or apply the NAFTA. Certain technical errors were made in the
    Annexes to that proclamation. I have determined that, in order to
    reflect accurately the intended tariff treatment and rules of
    origin provided for in the NAFTA, it is necessary to modify certain
    provisions of the HTS, as set forth in the Annex to this
    proclamation.
      8. Presidential Proclamation No. 6455 of July 2, 1992 [19 U.S.C.
    3202 note], implementing the Andean Trade Preference Act ("the
    ATPA") (19 U.S.C. 3201 et seq.), provided duty-free entry for all
    eligible articles, and duty reductions for certain other articles
    that are the product of any designated beneficiary country under
    that Act. Through technical error, the tariff treatment of ethyl
    alcohol, ethyl tertiary-butyl ether, and mixtures containing these
    products was incompletely stated. Accordingly, I have decided that
    it is appropriate to modify the provisions of subchapter I of
    chapter 99 of the HTS to provide fully for the tariff treatment of
    such products under the ATPA.
      9. Section 242 of the Compact of Free Association ("the Compact")
    between the United States and Palau provides that, upon
    implementation of the Compact, the President shall proclaim duty-
    free entry for most products of designated freely associated
    states. Such duty-free treatment, pursuant to the Compact of Free
    Association Approval Act ("the Compact Act") (Public Law 99-658;
    100 Stat. 3672, 48 U.S.C. 1681 note [48 U.S.C. 1931 et seq.]), is
    subject to the limitations of section 201 of the Compact Act [48
    U.S.C. 1931 note] and sections 503(b) and 504(c) of the Trade Act
    of 1974 ("the 1974 Act") (19 U.S.C. 2463(b) and 2464(c)). In
    Presidential Proclamation No. 6726 of September 27, 1994 [48 U.S.C.
    1931 note], I proclaimed that the Compact would enter into force on
    October 1, 1994. In order to accord such duty-free treatment to
    products of Palau, I have decided that it is necessary and
    appropriate to modify general note 10 to the HTS to designate the
    Republic of Palau as a freely associated state. Further, I have
    decided that it is appropriate to modify general note 4(a) to the
    HTS, which enumerates designated beneficiary countries for purposes
    of the Generalized System of Preferences, to delete Palau from the
    list of non-independent countries and territories.
      10. Presidential Proclamation No. 5759 of December 24, 1987 [102
    Stat. 4942], imposed increased rates of duty on certain products of
    the European Community ("EC"), in response to the EC's
    implementation of the Council Directive Prohibiting the Use in
    Livestock Farming of Certain Substances Having a Hormonal Action.
    Austria, Finland, and Sweden have indicated that they will become
    member states of the EC on January 1, 1995. Accordingly, to clarify
    that the increased rates of duty imposed by Proclamation No. 5759
    continue to apply to the EC in its capacity as a foreign
    instrumentality, it is necessary to amend the HTS to indicate that
    the duties are to be imposed on products of the EC, including
    products of all new and future member states, and not just on
    products of countries that were members of the EC in 1987 and that
    were listed in the HTS for illustrative purposes.
      11. Additional U.S. note 24 to chapter 4 of Schedule XX provides
    for a delay in the effective date, or prorating, of the expansion
    of tariff-rate quotas for cheeses above the existing quota
    quantities provided for in subchapter IV of chapter 99 of the HTS
    that will result from the implementation of United States
    commitments under the Uruguay Round Agreements, in the case of
    countries or areas that implement their market access commitments
    on a date later than the effective date of Schedule XX. The current
    members of the European Community (Belgium, Denmark, France, the
    Federal Republic of Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg,
    the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, and the United Kingdom), Austria,
    Poland, Sweden, and Switzerland all have indicated their intention
    not to implement their market access commitments until July 1,
    1995. Accordingly, I have determined, pursuant to my authority
    under sections 111(a) and (b) of the URAA [19 U.S.C. 3521(a), (b)]
    and section 1102 of the 1988 Act (19 U.S.C. 2902), that it is
    appropriate not to make available the amounts specified in section
    K of the Annex to this proclamation until July 1, 1995.
      12. Section 604 of the 1974 Act (19 U.S.C. 2483) authorizes the
    President to embody in the HTS the substance of the relevant
    provisions of that Act, 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, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, 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 section 604 of the 1974 Act (19 U.S.C.
    2483), section 1102 of the 1988 Act (19 U.S.C. 2902), sections 201
    and 202 of the NAFTA Act (19 U.S.C. 3331 and 3332), and title I [19
    U.S.C. 3511 et seq.] and title IV [see Tables for classification]
    of the URAA, do hereby proclaim:
      (1) In order to provide generally for the tariff treatment being
    accorded under the Uruguay Round Agreements, including the
    modification or continuance of existing duties or other import
    restrictions and the continuance of existing duty-free or excise
    treatment provided for in Schedule XX, the URAA, and the other
    authorities cited in this proclamation, including the termination
    of quantitative limitations and fees previously imposed under
    section 22 of the Adjustment Act (7 U.S.C. 624), the HTS is
    modified as set forth in the Annex to this proclamation.
      (2)(a) The modifications to the HTS made by sections A (except
    with respect to paragraphs thereof specifying other effective
    dates), C, E, and IJ of the Annex to this proclamation shall be
    effective with respect to goods entered, or withdrawn from
    warehouse for consumption, on and after January 1, 1995;
      (b) The modifications to the HTS made by sections B, D(1)-(5), F,
    G, H, and L of the Annex to this proclamation, and by those
    paragraphs of section A specifying effective dates other than
    January 1, 1995, shall be effective with respect to goods entered,
    or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on and after the dates
    set forth in such sections of the Annex;
      (c) The modifications to the HTS made by section D(6) of the
    Annex to this proclamation shall be effective with respect to goods
    entered, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on and after
    the dates set forth in such section, unless the United States Trade
    Representative (USTR) announces that the scheduled staged duty
    reductions set forth in such Annex section are being withheld
    because other major countries have not afforded adequate entity
    coverage under the Agreement on Government Procurement annexed to
    the WTO Agreement, and so advises the Secretary of the Treasury and
    publishes this information in a notice in the Federal Register;
      (d) The modifications to the HTS made by section D(7) of the
    Annex to this proclamation shall be effective with respect to goods
    entered, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on and after
    the date announced by the USTR in a notice published in the Federal
    Register as the date on which other major countries have afforded
    adequate entity coverage under the Agreement on Government
    Procurement annexed to the WTO Agreement; and
      (e) Section K of the Annex to this proclamation, providing for a
    delay in implementation of the expansion of tariff-rate quotas of
    cheeses, applies during the period January 1, 1995, through June
    30, 1995, unless the USTR determines that it is in the interest of
    the United States for any such delays to apply to a different
    period and publishes notice of the determination and applicable
    period in the Federal Register. The USTR also is authorized to
    prorate over the applicable period any of the quantities that may
    be imported.
      (3) The USTR is authorized to exercise my authority under section
    404(d)(3) [19 U.S.C. 3601(d)(3)] of the URAA to allocate the in-
    quota quantity of a tariff-rate quota for any agricultural product
    among supplying countries or customs areas and to modify any
    allocation as the USTR determines appropriate.
      (4) The Secretary of Agriculture is authorized to exercise my
    authority to make determinations under section 405(a) of the URAA
    [19 U.S.C. 3602(a)] and to publish those determinations in the
    Federal Register.
      (5) Effective January 1, 1995, in order to clarify that the
    additional duty provided for in subheadings 9903.23.00 through
    9903.23.35, inclusive, of the HTS shall apply to new member states
    of the European Community, the superior text to those subheadings
    is modified as provided in the Annex to this proclamation. The USTR
    is authorized to alter the application of the increased duties
    imposed by Presidential Proclamation No. 5759 [102 Stat. 4942], as
    modified herein, by further modifying the superior text to those
    subheadings so that it reflects accurately all member states of the
    European Community or any successor organization. Notice of any
    such modification shall be published in the Federal Register.
      (6) Whenever the rate of duty in the general subcolumn of rates
    of duty column 1 of the HTS is reduced to "Free", all rates of duty
    set forth in the special subcolumn of column 1 shall be deleted
    from the HTS.
      (7) The USTR, the Secretary of Agriculture, and the Secretary of
    the Treasury are authorized to exercise my authority under the
    statutes cited in this proclamation to perform certain functions to
    implement this proclamation, as assigned to them in the Annex to
    this proclamation.
      (8) Paragraphs (1)-(4), (6), and (7) shall be effective on
    January 1, 1995, unless the USTR announces prior to that date that
    the WTO Agreement will not enter into force on that date.
      (9) All 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.
      IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-third
    day of December, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and
    ninety-four, and of the Independence of the United States of
    America the two hundred and nineteenth.
                                                     William J. Clinton.

                                   ANNEX                               
      The Annex of Proclamation 6763, which amended the Harmonized
    Tariff Schedule of the United States, is not set out under this
    section because the Harmonized Tariff Schedule is not set out in
    the Code. See Publication of Harmonized Tariff Schedule note set
    out under section 1202 of this title.

    PROC. NO. 6780. TO IMPLEMENT CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF TRADE AGREEMENTS
     RESULTING FROM URUGUAY ROUND OF MULTILATERAL TRADE NEGOTIATIONS,
                          AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES
      Proc. No. 6780, Mar. 23, 1995, 60 F.R. 15845, provided:
      1. On April 15, 1994, I entered into trade agreements resulting
    from the Uruguay Round of multilateral trade negotiations ("the
    Uruguay Round Agreements"). In section 101(a) of the Uruguay Round
    Agreements Act ("the URAA") (Public Law 103-465; 108 Stat. 4814)
    (19 U.S.C. 3511(a)), the Congress approved the Uruguay Round Trade
    Agreements listed in section 101(d) of that Act.
      2. Pursuant to section 101(b) of the URAA [19 U.S.C. 3511(b)], I
    decided to accept the Agreement Establishing the World Trade
    Organization ("the WTO Agreement") on behalf of the United States,
    and I determined that the WTO Agreement entered into force for the
    United States on January 1, 1995.
      3. (a) Sections 1102(a) and (e) of the Omnibus Trade and
    Competitiveness Act of 1988, as amended ("the 1988 Act") (19 U.S.C.
    2902(a) and (e)), authorize the President to proclaim such
    modification or continuance of any existing duty, such continuance
    of existing duty-free or excise treatment, or such additional
    duties, as he determines to be required or appropriate to carry out
    any trade agreement entered into under these sections.
      (b) Section 111(a) of the URAA (19 U.S.C. 3521(a)) authorizes the
    President to proclaim such other modification of any duty, such
    other staged rate reduction, or such other additional duties beyond
    those authorized by section 1102 of the 1988 Act (19 U.S.C. 2902)
    as the President determines to be necessary or appropriate to carry
    out Schedule XX - United States of America, annexed to the
    Marrakesh Protocol to the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade
    1994 ("Schedule XX").
      (c) Section 103(a) of the URAA (19 U.S.C. 3513(a)) authorizes the
    President to proclaim such actions as may be necessary to ensure
    that any provision or amendment made by the URAA that takes effect
    on the date that any of the Uruguay Round Agreements enters into
    force with respect to the United States is appropriately
    implemented on such date.
      4. Proclamation 6763 of December 23, 1994 [set out above],
    implemented the Uruguay Round Agreements, including Schedule XX,
    with respect to the United States; and incorporated in the
    Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States ("the HTS") [see 19
    U.S.C. 1202] tariff modifications necessary and appropriate to
    carry out the Uruguay Round Agreements and certain conforming
    changes in rules of origin for the North American Free Trade
    Agreement ("NAFTA"). Certain technical errors, including
    inadvertent omissions, were made in that proclamation. I have
    determined that it is necessary, to reflect accurately the intended
    tariff treatment provided for in the Uruguay Round Agreements and
    to ensure the continuation of the agreed NAFTA rules of origin, to
    modify certain provisions of the HTS, as set forth in the Annex to
    this proclamation.
      5. (a) One of the Uruguay Round Agreements approved by the
    Congress in sections 101(a) and 101(d) of the URAA (19 U.S.C.
    3511(a) and (d)) is the Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of
    Intellectual Property Rights ("the TRIPs Agreement").
      (b) Section 104A of title 17, United States Code, as amended by
    section 514 of the URAA, provides for copyright protection in
    restored works. Section 104A(h), as amended, provides that the date
    of restoration of a restored copyright shall be the date on which
    the TRIPs Agreement enters into forcewith [sic] respect to the
    United States, if the source country is a nation adhering to the
    Berne Convention or a World Trade Organization (WTO) member on such
    date.
      (c) Article 65, paragraph 1, of the TRIPs Agreement provides that
    no WTO member shall be obliged to apply the provisions of this
    Agreement until one year after the date of entry into force of the
    WTO Agreement. The date of entry into force of the WTO Agreement
    with respect to the United States was January 1, 1995.
      (d) The statement of administrative action, approved by the
    Congress in section 101(a)(2) of the URAA (19 U.S.C. 3511(a)(2)),
    provides that, "in general, copyright will be restored on the date
    when the TRIPs Agreement's obligations take effect for the United
    States."
      (e) Accordingly, I have decided that it is necessary and
    appropriate, in order to implement the TRIPs Agreement and to
    ensure that section 514 of the URAA [amending sections 104A and 109
    of Title 17, Copyrights] is appropriately implemented, to proclaim
    that the date on which the obligations of the TRIPs Agreement will
    take effect for the United States is January 1, 1996.
      6. (a) Section 902(a)(2) of title 17, United States Code,
    authorizes the President to extend protection under chapter 9 of
    title 17, United States Code, to mask works of owners who are
    nationals, domiciliaries, or sovereign authorities of, and to mask
    works, which are first commercially exploited in, a foreign nation
    that grants United States mask work owners substantially the same
    protection that it grants its own nationals and domiciliaries, or
    that grants protection to such works on substantially the same
    basis as does chapter 9 of title 17, United States Code.
      (b) Australia, Canada, Japan, Switzerland, and the Member States
    of the European Community provide adequate and effective protection
    for mask works within the meaning of 17 U.S.C. 902(a)(2), and have
    been subject to interim protection under 17 U.S.C. 914.
    Consequently, I find that these countries satisfy the requirements
    of 17 U.S.C. 902(a)(2), and are to be extended full protection
    under chapter 9 of title 17, United States Code, effective on July
    1, 1995.
      (c) In addition, 17 U.S.C. 902(a)(1)(A)(ii) provides that mask
    work owners who are nationals, domiciliaries, or sovereign
    authorities of a foreign nation that is a party to a treaty
    affording protection to mask works to which the United States is
    also a party are eligible for protection under chapter 9 of title
    17, United States Code. The TRIPs Agreement, which requires all WTO
    members to provide protection equivalent to that provided under
    chapter 9 of title 17 on the basis of national treatment, is such
    an agreement. Because the United States is a member of the WTO and
    thus of the TRIPs Agreement, and because the TRIPs Agreement will
    be effective for the United States on January 1, 1996, all other
    WTO members will become eligible for full protection under chapter
    9 of title 17, United States Code, on January 1, 1996.
      7. Section 491 of the Trade Agreements Act of 1979, as amended
    ("the 1979 Act") (19 U.S.C. 2578), requires the President to
    designate an agency to be responsible for informing the public of
    the sanitary and phytosanitary standard-setting activities of each
    international standard-setting organization. I have decided to
    designate the Department of Agriculture as the agency responsible
    for providing the public with this information.
      8. (a) The March 24, 1994, Memorandum of Understanding on the
    Results of the Uruguay Round Market Access Negotiations on
    Agriculture Between the United States of America and Argentina
    ("the MOU"), submitted to the Congress along with the Uruguay Round
    Agreements, provides for "an appropriate certificate of origin" for
    imports of peanuts and peanut butter and peanut paste from
    Argentina.
      (b) Proclamation 6763 [set out above] proclaimed the Schedule XX
    tariff rate quotas for peanuts and peanut butter and peanut paste.
    However, that proclamation did not specify which agency should
    implement the MOU.
      (c) Section 404 of the URAA (19 U.S.C. 3601) requires the
    President to take such action as may be necessary to ensure that
    imports of agricultural products do not disrupt the orderly
    marketing of commodities in the United States.
      (d) Accordingly, I have decided to delegate to the United States
    Trade Representative ("the USTR") my authority under section 404 of
    the URAA to implement the MOU, through such regulations as the
    USTR, or, at the direction of the USTR, other appropriate agencies,
    may issue.
      9. Section 604 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended (19 U.S.C.
    2483) ("the 1974 Act"), authorizes the President to embody in the
    HTS the substance of the relevant provisions of that Act, 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, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the United
    States of America, acting under the authority vested in me by the
    Constitution and the laws of the United States, including but not
    limited to section 301 of title 3, United States Code, section
    902(a)(1) and (2) of title 17, United States Code, section 604 of
    the 1974 Act, as amended (19 U.S.C. 2483), section 491 of the 1979
    Act, as amended (19 U.S.C. 2578), section 1102 of the 1988 Act, as
    amended (19 U.S.C. 2902), title I of the URAA (19 U.S.C. 3511-
    3551), and section 404 of the URAA (19 U.S.C. 3601), do hereby
    proclaim that:
      (1) To more completely implement the tariff treatment accorded
    under the Uruguay Round Agreements, the HTS is modified as set
    forth in the Annex to this proclamation.
      (2) The obligations of the TRIPs Agreement shall enter into force
    for the United States on January 1, 1996.
      (3) Australia, Canada, Japan, Switzerland, and the Member States
    of the European Community shall be extended full protection under
    chapter 9 of title 17, United States Code, effective on July 1,
    1995. In addition, as of January 1, 1996, full protection under
    chapter 9 of title 17, United States Code, shall be extended to all
    WTO Members.
      (4) The Secretary of Agriculture is designated, under section 491
    of the 1979 Act, as amended (19 U.S.C. 2578), as the official
    responsible for informing the public of the sanitary and
    phytosanitary standard-setting activities of each international
    standard-setting organization.
      (5) The USTR is authorized to exercise my authority under section
    404 of the URAA (19 U.S.C. 3601) to implement the MOU with
    Argentina, through such regulations as the USTR, or, at the
    direction of the USTR, other appropriate agencies, may issue.
      (6) In order to make conforming changes and technical corrections
    to certain HTS provisions, pursuant to actions taken in
    Proclamation 6763 [set out above], the HTS and Proclamation 6763
    are modified as set forth in the Annex to this proclamation.
      (7) All 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.
      (8) This proclamation shall be effective upon publication in the
    Federal Register.
      IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-third
    day of March, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-
    five, and of the Independence of the United States of America the
    two hundred and nineteenth.
                                                     William J. Clinton.

                                   ANNEX                               
      The Annex of Proclamation 6780, which amended the Harmonized
    Tariff Schedule of the United States, is not set out under this
    section because the Harmonized Tariff Schedule is not set out in
    the Code. See Publication of Harmonized Tariff Schedule note set
    out under section 1202 of this title.

    EX. ORD. NO. 13042. IMPLEMENTING FOR UNITED STATES ARTICLE VIII OF
     AGREEMENT ESTABLISHING WORLD TRADE ORGANIZATION CONCERNING LEGAL
                  CAPACITY AND PRIVILEGES AND IMMUNITIES
      Ex. Ord. No. 13042, Apr. 9, 1997, 62 F.R. 18017, provided:
      By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution
    and the laws of the United States of America, including section
    101(b) of the Uruguay Round Agreements Act (Public Law 103-465) [19
    U.S.C. 3511(b)] and section 1 of the International Organizations
    Immunities Act (22 U.S.C. 288), I hereby implement for the United
    States the provisions of Article VIII of the Agreement Establishing
    the World Trade Organization.
      Section 1. The provisions of the Convention on the Privileges and
    Immunities of the Specialized Agencies (U.N. General Assembly
    Resolution 179 (II) of November 21, 1947, 33 U.N.T.S. 261) shall
    apply to the World Trade Organization, its officials, and the
    representatives of its members, provided: (1) sections 19(b) and
    15, regarding immunity from taxation, and sections 13(d) and
    section 20, regarding immunity from national service obligations,
    shall not apply to U.S. nationals and aliens admitted for permanent
    residence; (2) with respect to section 13(d) and section 19(c),
    regarding exemption from immigration restrictions and alien
    registration requirements, World Trade Organization officials and
    representatives of its members shall be entitled to the same, and
    no greater, privileges, exemptions, and immunities as are accorded
    under similar circumstances to officers and employees of foreign
    governments, and members of their families; (3) with respect to
    section 9(a) regarding exemption from taxation, such exemption
    shall not extend to taxes levied on real property, or that portion
    of real property, which is not used for the purposes of the World
    Trade Organization. The leasing or renting by the World Trade
    Organization of its property to another entity or person to
    generate revenue shall not be considered a use for the purposes of

    are used for the purposes of the World Trade Organization shall be
    determined within the sole discretion of the Secretary of State or
    the Secretary's designee; (4) with respect to section 25(2)(II)

    Minister" shall mean the Secretary of State or the Secretary's

    extended above, having found that the World Trade Organization is a
    public international organization in which the United States
    participates within the meaning of the International Organizations
    Immunities Act [22 U.S.C. 288 et seq.], I hereby designate the
    World Trade Organization as a public international organization
    entitled to enjoy the privileges, exemptions, and immunities
    conferred by that Act, except that section 6 of that Act [22 U.S.C.
    288c], providing exemption from property tax imposed by, or under
    the authority of, any Act of Congress, shall not extend to taxes
    levied on property, or that portion of property, that is not used
    for the purposes of the World Trade Organization. The leasing or
    renting by the World Trade Organization of its property to another
    entity or person to generate revenue shall not be considered a use
    for the purposes of the World Trade Organization. Whether property
    or portions thereof are used for the purposes of the World Trade
    Organization shall be determined within the sole discretion of the
    Secretary of State or the Secretary's designee. This designation is
    not intended to abridge in any respect privileges, exemptions, or
    immunities that the World Trade Organization otherwise enjoys or
    may acquire by international agreements or by congressional action.

      Memorandum for the United States Trade Representative
      Being advised that Canada, the European Community, Mexico, Japan,
    and other major trading countries have committed to acceptance of
    the Uruguay Round Agreements, I have determined that a sufficient
    number of foreign countries are accepting the obligations of those
    Agreements, in accordance with article XIV of the Agreement
    Establishing the World Trade Organization (WTO Agreement), to
    ensure the effective operation of, and adequate benefits for the
    United States under, those Agreements.
      Pursuant to section 101(b) of the Uruguay Round Agreements Act
    (Public Law 103-465; 108 Stat. 4809) [19 U.S.C. 3511(b)] and
    section 301 of title 3, United States Code, I hereby direct the
    United States Trade Representative, or his designee, to accept the
    Uruguay Round Agreements, as described in section 101(d) of that
    Act, on behalf of the United States in accordance with article XIV
    of the WTO Agreement.
      You are authorized and directed to publish this memorandum in the
    Federal Register.
                                                     William J. Clinton.

    Sec. 3512. Relationship of agreements to United States law and
      State law

-STATUTE-
    (a) Relationship of agreements to United States law
      (1) United States law to prevail in conflict
        No provision of any of the Uruguay Round Agreements, nor the

      that is inconsistent with any law of the United States shall have
      effect.
      (2) Construction
        Nothing in this Act shall be construed - 
          (A) to amend or modify any law of the United States,
        including any law relating to - 
            (i) the protection of human, animal, or plant life or
          health,
            (ii) the protection of the environment, or

    (b) Relationship of agreements to State law
      (1) Federal-State consultation
        (A) In general
          On December 8, 1994, the President shall, through the
        intergovernmental policy advisory committees on trade
        established under section 2114c(2)(A) of this title, consult
        with the States for the purpose of achieving conformity of
        State laws and practices with the Uruguay Round Agreements.
        (B) Federal-State consultation process
          The Trade Representative shall establish within the Office of
        the United States Trade Representative a Federal-State
        consultation process for addressing issues relating to the
        Uruguay Round Agreements that directly relate to, or will
        potentially have a direct effect on, the States. The Federal-
        State consultation process shall include procedures under
        which - 
            (i) the States will be informed on a continuing basis of
          matters under the Uruguay Round Agreements that directly
          relate to, or will potentially have a direct impact on, the
          States;
            (ii) the States will be provided an opportunity to submit,
          on a continuing basis, to the Trade Representative
          information and advice with respect to matters referred to in
          clause (i); and
            (iii) the Trade Representative will take into account the
          information and advice received from the States under clause
          (ii) when formulating United States positions regarding

        The Federal Advisory Committee Act (5 U.S.C. App.) shall not
        apply to the Federal-State consultation process established by
        this paragraph.
        (C) Federal-State cooperation in WTO dispute settlement
          (i) When a WTO member requests consultations with the United
        States under Article 4 of the Understanding on Rules and
        Procedures Governing the Settlement of Disputes referred to in
        section 3511(d)(16) of this title (hereafter in this subsection
        referred to as the "Dispute Settlement Understanding")
        concerning whether the law of a State is inconsistent with the
        obligations undertaken by the United States in any of the
        Uruguay Round Agreements, the Trade Representative shall notify
        the Governor of the State or the Governor's designee, and the
        chief legal officer of the jurisdiction whose law is the
        subject of the consultations, as soon as possible after the
        request is received, but in no event later than 7 days
        thereafter.
          (ii) Not later than 30 days after receiving such a request
        for consultations, the Trade Representative shall consult with
        representatives of the State concerned regarding the matter. If
        the consultations involve the laws of a large number of States,
        the Trade Representative may consult with an appropriate group
        of representatives of the States concerned, as determined by
        those States.
          (iii) The Trade Representative shall make every effort to
        ensure that the State concerned is involved in the development
        of the position of the United States at each stage of the
        consultations and each subsequent stage of dispute settlement
        proceedings regarding the matter. In particular, the Trade
        Representative shall - 
            (I) notify the State concerned not later than 7 days after
          a WTO member requests the establishment of a dispute
          settlement panel or gives notice of the WTO member's decision
          to appeal a report by a dispute settlement panel regarding
          the matter; and
            (II) provide the State concerned with the opportunity to
          advise and assist the Trade Representative in the preparation
          of factual information and argumentation for any written or
          oral presentations by the United States in consultations or
          in proceedings of a panel or the Appellate Body regarding the
          matter.

          (iv) If a dispute settlement panel or the Appellate Body
        finds that the law of a State is inconsistent with any of the
        Uruguay Round Agreements, the Trade Representative shall
        consult with the State concerned in an effort to develop a
        mutually agreeable response to the report of the panel or the
        Appellate Body and shall make every effort to ensure that the
        State concerned is involved in the development of the United
        States position regarding the response.
        (D) Notice to States regarding consultations on foreign
          subcentral government laws
          (i) Subject to clause (ii), the Trade Representative shall,
        at least 30 days before making a request for consultations
        under Article 4 of the Dispute Settlement Understanding
        regarding a subcentral government measure of another WTO
        member, notify, and solicit the views of, appropriate
        representatives of each State regarding the matter.
          (ii) In exigent circumstances clause (i) shall not apply, in
        which case the Trade Representative shall notify the
        appropriate representatives of each State not later than 3 days
        after making the request for consultations referred to in
        clause (i).
      (2) Legal challenge
        (A) In general
          No State law, or the application of such a State law, may be
        declared invalid as to any person or circumstance on the ground
        that the provision or application is inconsistent with any of
        the Uruguay Round Agreements, except in an action brought by
        the United States for the purpose of declaring such law or
        application invalid.
        (B) Procedures governing action
          In any action described in subparagraph (A) that is brought
        by the United States against a State or any subdivision thereof
        - 
            (i) a report of a dispute settlement panel or the Appellate
          Body convened under the Dispute Settlement Understanding
          regarding the State law, or the law of any political
          subdivision thereof, shall not be considered as binding or
          otherwise accorded deference;
            (ii) the United States shall have the burden of proving
          that the law that is the subject of the action, or the
          application of that law, is inconsistent with the agreement
          in question;
            (iii) any State whose interests may be impaired or impeded
          in the action shall have the unconditional right to intervene
          in the action as a party, and the United States shall be
          entitled to amend its complaint to include a claim or cross-
          claim concerning the law of a State that so intervenes; and
            (iv) any State law that is declared invalid shall not be
          deemed to have been invalid in its application during any
          period before the court's judgment becomes final and all
          timely appeals, including discretionary review, of such
          judgment are exhausted.
        (C) Reports to congressional committees
          At least 30 days before the United States brings an action
        described in subparagraph (A), the Trade Representative shall
        provide a report to the Committee on Ways and Means of the
        House of Representatives and the Committee on Finance of the
        Senate - 
            (i) describing the proposed action;
            (ii) describing efforts by the Trade Representative to
          resolve the matter with the State concerned by other means;
          and
            (iii) if the State law was the subject of consultations
          under the Dispute Settlement Understanding, certifying that
          the Trade Representative has substantially complied with the
          requirements of paragraph (1)(C) in connection with the
          matter.

      Following the submission of the report, and before the action is
      brought, the Trade Representative shall consult with the
      committees referred to in the preceding sentence concerning the
      matter.
      (3) "State law" defined
        For purposes of this subsection - 
          (A) the term "State law" includes - 
            (i) any law of a political subdivision of a State; and

        of law, any action or inaction by any department, agency, or
        other instrumentality of the United States, any State, or any
        political subdivision of a State on the ground that such action
        or inaction is inconsistent with such agreement.
      (2) Intent of Congress
        It is the intention of the Congress through paragraph (1) to
      occupy the field with respect to any cause of action or defense
      under or in connection with any of the Uruguay Round Agreements,
      including by precluding any person other than the United States

    (a) Action by United States International Trade Commission
      (1) Advisory report
        If a dispute settlement panel finds in an interim report under
      Article 15 of the Dispute Settlement Understanding, or the
      Appellate Body finds in a report under Article 17 of that
      Understanding, that an action by the International Trade
      Commission in connection with a particular proceeding is not in

      Antidumping Agreement, the Safeguards Agreement, or the Agreement
      on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures, the Trade
      Representative may request the Commission to issue an advisory
      report on whether title VII of the Tariff Act of 1930 [19 U.S.C.
      1671 et seq.] or title II of the Trade Act of 1974 [19 U.S.C.

      or the Appellate Body concerning those obligations. The Trade
      Representative shall notify the congressional committees of such
      request.
      (2) Time limits for report
        The Commission shall transmit its report under paragraph (1) to
      the Trade Representative - 
          (A) in the case of an interim report described in paragraph
        (1), within 30 calendar days after the Trade Representative
        requests the report; and
          (B) in the case of a report of the Appellate Body, within 21
        calendar days after the Trade Representative requests the
        report.
      (3) Consultations on request for Commission determination
        If a majority of the Commissioners issues an affirmative report
      under paragraph (1), the Trade Representative shall consult with
      the congressional committees concerning the matter.
      (4) Commission determination
        Notwithstanding any provision of the Tariff Act of 1930 [19
      U.S.C. 1202 et seq.] or title II of the Trade Act of 1974 [19
      U.S.C. 2251 et seq.], if a majority of the Commissioners issues
      an affirmative report under paragraph (1), the Commission, upon
      the written request of the Trade Representative, shall issue a
      determination in connection with the particular proceeding that
      would render the Commission's action described in paragraph (1)
      not inconsistent with the findings of the panel or Appellate
      Body. The Commission shall issue its determination not later than
      120 days after the request from the Trade Representative is made.
      (5) Consultations on implementation of Commission determination
        The Trade Representative shall consult with the congressional
      committees before the Commission's determination under paragraph
      (4) is implemented.
      (6) Revocation of order
        If, by virtue of the Commission's determination under paragraph
      (4), an antidumping or countervailing duty order with respect to
      some or all of the imports that are subject to the action of the
      Commission described in paragraph (1) is no longer supported by
      an affirmative Commission determination under title VII of the
      Tariff Act of 1930 [19 U.S.C. 1671 et seq.] or this subsection,
      the Trade Representative may, after consulting with the
      congressional committees under paragraph (5), direct the
      administering authority to revoke the antidumping or
      countervailing duty order in whole or in part.
    (b) Action by administering authority
      (1) Consultations with administering authority and congressional
        committees
        Promptly after a report by a dispute settlement panel or the
      Appellate Body is issued that contains findings that an action by
      the administering authority in a proceeding under title VII of
      the Tariff Act of 1930 [19 U.S.C. 1671 et seq.] is not in
      conformity with the obligations of the United States under the
      Antidumping Agreement or the Agreement on Subsidies and
      Countervailing Measures, the Trade Representative shall consult
      with the administering authority and the congressional committees
      on the matter.
      (2) Determination by administering authority
        Notwithstanding any provision of the Tariff Act of 1930 [19
      U.S.C. 1202 et seq.], the administering authority shall, within
      180 days after receipt of a written request from the Trade
      Representative, issue a determination in connection with the
      particular proceeding that would render the administering
      authority's action described in paragraph (1) not inconsistent
      with the findings of the panel or the Appellate Body.
      (3) Consultations before implementation
        Before the administering authority implements any determination
      under paragraph (2), the Trade Representative shall consult with
      the administering authority and the congressional committees with
      respect to such determination.
      (4) Implementation of determination
        The Trade Representative may, after consulting with the
      administering authority and the congressional committees under
      paragraph (3), direct the administering authority to implement,
      in whole or in part, the determination made under paragraph (2).
    (c) Effects of determinations; notice of implementation
      (1) Effects of determinations

    Sec. 3555. Objectives for extended negotiations

-STATUTE-
    (a) Trade in financial services
      The principal negotiating objective of the United States in the
    extended negotiations on financial services to be conducted under
    the auspices of the WTO is to seek to secure commitments, from a
    wide range of commercially important developed and developing
    countries, to reduce or eliminate barriers to the supply of
    financial services, including barriers that deny national treatment
    or market access by restricting the establishment or operation of
    financial services providers, as the condition for the United
    States - 
        (1) offering commitments to provide national treatment and
      market access in each of the financial services subsectors, and
        (2) making such commitments on a normal trade relations basis.
    (b) Trade in basic telecommunications services
      The principal negotiating objective of the United States in the
    extended negotiations on basic telecommunications services to be
    conducted under the auspices of the WTO is to obtain the opening on
    nondiscriminatory terms and conditions of foreign markets for basic
    telecommunications services through facilities-based competition or
    through the resale of services on existing networks.
    (c) Trade in civil aircraft
      (1) Negotiations
        The principal negotiating objectives of the United States in
      the extended negotiations on trade in civil aircraft to be
      conducted under the auspices of the WTO are - 
          (A) to obtain competitive opportunities for United States
        exports in foreign markets substantially equivalent to those
        afforded to foreign products in the United States,
          (B) to obtain the reduction or elimination of specific tariff
        and nontariff barriers, including through expanded membership
        in the Agreement on Trade in Civil Aircraft and in the US-EC
        bilateral agreement for large civil aircraft,
          (C) to maintain vigorous and effective disciplines on
        subsidies practices with respect to civil aircraft products
        under the Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures
        referred to in section 3511(d)(12) of this title,
          (D) to maintain the scope and coverage on indirect support as
        specified in the US-EC bilateral agreement on large civil
        aircraft, and
          (E) to obtain increased transparency with respect to foreign
        subsidy programs in the civil aircraft sector, both through
        greater government disclosure with respect to the use of
        taxpayer moneys and higher financial disclosure standards for
        companies receiving government supports (including disclosure

-STATUTE-
    (a) Assistance regarding multilateral subsidy remedies
      The administering authority shall provide information to the
    public upon request, and, to the extent feasible, assistance and
    advice to interested parties concerning - 
        (1) remedies and benefits available under relevant provisions
      of the Subsidies Agreement, and
        (2) the procedures relating to such remedies and benefits.
    (b) Prohibited subsidies
      (1) Notification of Trade Representative
        If the administering authority determines pursuant to title VII
      of the Tariff Act of 1930 [19 U.S.C. 1671 et seq.] that a class
      or kind of merchandise is benefiting from a subsidy which is
      prohibited under Article 3 of the Subsidies Agreement, the
      administering authority shall notify the Trade Representative and
      shall provide the Trade Representative with the information upon
      which the administering authority based its determination.
      (2) Request by interested party regarding prohibited subsidy
        An interested party may request that the administering
      authority determine if there is reason to believe that
      merchandise produced in a WTO member country is benefiting from a
      subsidy which is prohibited under Article 3 of the Subsidies
      Agreement. The request shall contain such information as the
      administering authority may require to support the allegations
      contained in the request. If the administering authority, after
      analyzing the request and other information reasonably available
      to the administering authority, determines that there is reason
      to believe that such merchandise is benefiting from a subsidy
      which is prohibited under Article 3 of the Subsidies Agreement,
      the administering authority shall so notify the Trade
      Representative, and shall include supporting information with the
      notification.
    (c) Subsidies actionable under Agreement
      (1) In general
        If the administering authority determines pursuant to title VII
      of the Tariff Act of 1930 [19 U.S.C. 1671 et seq.] that a class
      or kind of merchandise is benefiting from a subsidy described in
      Article 6.1 of the Subsidies Agreement, the administering
      authority shall notify the Trade Representative, and shall
      provide the Trade Representative with the information upon which
      the administering authority based its determination.
      (2) Request by interested party regarding adverse effects
        An interested party may request the administering authority to
      determine if there is reason to believe that a subsidy which is
      actionable under the Subsidies Agreement is causing adverse
      effects. The request shall contain such information as the
      administering authority may require to support the allegations
      contained in the request. At the request of the administering
      authority, the Commission shall assist the administering
      authority in analyzing the information pertaining to the
      existence of such adverse effects. If the administering
      authority, after analyzing the request and other information
      reasonably available to the administering authority, determines
      that there is reason to believe that a subsidy which is
      actionable under the Subsidies Agreement is causing adverse
      effects, the administering authority shall so notify the Trade
      Representative, and shall include supporting information with the
      notification.
    (d) Initiation of section 2411 investigation
      On the basis of the notification and information provided by the
    administering authority pursuant to subsection (b) or (c) of this
    section, such other information as the Trade Representative may
    have or obtain, and where applicable, after consultation with an
    interested party referred to in subsection (b)(2) or (c)(2) of this
    section, the Trade Representative shall, unless such interested
    party objects, determine as expeditiously as possible, in
    accordance with the procedures in section 302(b)(1) of the Trade
    Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 2412(b)(1)), whether to initiate an
    investigation pursuant to title III of that Act (19 U.S.C. 2411 et
    seq.). At the request of the Trade Representative, the
    administering authority and the Commission shall assist the Trade
    Representative in an investigation initiated pursuant to this
    subsection.
    (e) Nonactionable subsidies
      (1) Compliance with Article 8 of the Subsidies Agreement
        (A) Monitoring
          In order to monitor whether a subsidy meets the conditions
        and criteria described in Article 8.2 of the Subsidies
        Agreement and is nonactionable, the Trade Representative shall
        provide the administering authority on a timely basis with any
        information submitted or report made pursuant to Article 8.3 or
        8.4 of the Subsidies Agreement regarding a notified subsidy
        program. The administering authority shall review such
        information and reports, and where appropriate, shall recommend
        to the Trade Representative that the Trade Representative seek
        pursuant to Article 8.3 or 8.4 of the Subsidies Agreement
        additional information regarding the notified subsidy program
        or a subsidy granted pursuant to the notified subsidy program.
        If the administering authority has reason to believe that a
        violation of Article 8 of the Subsidies Agreement exists, the
        administering authority shall so notify the Trade
        Representative, and shall include supporting information with
        the notification.
        (B) Request by interested party regarding violation of Article
          8
          An interested party may request the administering authority
        to determine if there is reason to believe that a violation of
        Article 8 of the Subsidies Agreement exists. The request shall
        contain such information as the administering authority may
        require to support the allegations contained in the request. If
        the administering authority, after analyzing the request and
        other information reasonably available to the administering
        authority, determines that additional information is needed,
        the administering authority shall recommend to the Trade
        Representative that the Trade Representative seek, pursuant to
        Article 8.3 or 8.4 of the Subsidies Agreement, additional
        information regarding the particular notified subsidy program
        or a subsidy granted pursuant to the notified subsidy program.
        If the administering authority determines that there is reason
        to believe that a violation of Article 8 of the Subsidies
        Agreement exists, the administering authority shall so notify
        the Trade Representative, and shall include supporting
        information with the notification.
        (C) Action by Trade Representative
          (i) If the Trade Representative, on the basis of the
        notification and information provided by the administering
        authority pursuant to subparagraph (A) or (B), and such other
        information as the Trade Representative may have or obtain, and
        after consulting with the interested party referred to in
        subparagraph (B) and appropriate domestic industries,
        determines that there is reason to believe that a violation of
        Article 8 of the Subsidies Agreement exists, the Trade
        Representative shall invoke the procedures of Article 8.4 or
        8.5 of the Subsidies Agreement.
          (ii) For purposes of clause (i), the Trade Representative
        shall determine that there is reason to believe that a
        violation of Article 8 exists in any case in which the Trade
        Representative determines that a notified subsidy program or a
        subsidy granted pursuant to a notified subsidy program does not
        satisfy the conditions and criteria required for a
        nonactionable subsidy program under this Act, the Subsidies
        Agreement, and the statement of administrative action approved
        under section 3511(a) of this title.
        (D) Notification of administering authority
          The Trade Representative shall notify the administering
        authority whenever a violation of Article 8 of the Subsidies
        Agreement has been found to exist pursuant to Article 8.4 or
        8.5 of that Agreement.
      (2) Serious adverse effects
        (A) Request by interested party
          An interested party may request the administering authority
        to determine if there is reason to believe that serious adverse
        effects resulting from a program referred to in Article 8.2 of
        the Subsidies Agreement exist. The request shall contain such
        information as the administering authority may require to
        support the allegations contained in the request.
        (B) Action by administering authority
          Within 90 days after receipt of the request described in
        subparagraph (A), the administering authority, after analyzing
        the request and other information reasonably available to the
        administering authority, shall determine if there is reason to
        believe that serious adverse effects resulting from a program
        referred to in Article 8.2 of the Subsidies Agreement exist. If
        the determination of the administering authority is
        affirmative, it shall so notify the Trade Representative and
        shall include supporting information with the notification. The
        Commission shall assist the administering authority in
        analyzing the information pertaining to the existence of such
        serious adverse effects if the administering authority requests
        the Commission's assistance. If the subsidy program that is
        alleged to result in serious adverse effects has been the
        subject of a countervailing duty investigation or review under
        subtitle A or C of title VII of the Tariff Act of 1930 [19
        U.S.C. 1671 et seq., 1675 et seq.], the administering authority
        shall take into account the determinations made by the
        administering authority and the Commission in such
        investigation or review and the administering authority shall
        complete its analysis as expeditiously as possible.
        (C) Action by Trade Representative
          The Trade Representative, on the basis of the notification
        and information provided by the administering authority
        pursuant to subparagraph (B), and such other information as the
        Trade Representative may have or obtain, shall determine as
        expeditiously as possible, but not later than 30 days after
        receipt of the notification provided by the administering
        authority, if there is reason to believe that serious adverse
        effects exist resulting from the subsidy program which is the
        subject of the administering authority's notification. The
        Trade Representative shall make an affirmative determination
        regarding the existence of such serious adverse effects unless
        the Trade Representative finds that the notification of the
        administering authority is not supported by the facts.
        (D) Consultations
          If the Trade Representative determines that there is reason
        to believe that serious adverse effects resulting from the
        subsidy program exist, the Trade Representative, unless the
        interested party referred to in subparagraph (A) objects, shall
        invoke the procedures of Article 9 of the Subsidies Agreement,
        and shall request consultations pursuant to Article 9.2 of the
        Subsidies Agreement with respect to such serious adverse
        effects. If such consultations have not resulted in a mutually
        acceptable solution within 60 days after the request is made
        for such consultations, the Trade Representative shall refer
        the matter to the Subsidies Committee pursuant to Article 9.3
        of the Subsidies Agreement.
        (E) Determination by Subsidies Committee
          If the Trade Representative determines that - 
            (i) the Subsidies Committee has been prevented from making
          an affirmative determination regarding the existence of
          serious adverse effects under Article 9 of the Subsidies
          Agreement by reason of the refusal of the WTO member country
          with respect to which the consultations have been invoked to
          join in an affirmative consensus - 
              (I) that such serious adverse effects exist, or
              (II) regarding a recommendation to such WTO member
            country to modify the subsidy program in such a way as to
            remove the serious adverse effects, or

            (ii) the Subsidies Committee has not presented its
          conclusions regarding the existence of such serious adverse
          effects within 120 days after the date the matter was
          referred to it, as required by Article 9.4 of the Subsidies
          Agreement,

        the Trade Representative shall, within 30 days after such
        determination, make a determination under section 304(a)(1) of
        the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 2414(a)(1)) regarding what
        action to take under section 301(a)(1)(A) of that Act [19
        U.S.C. 2411(a)(1)(A)].
        (F) Noncompliance with Committee recommendation
          In the event that the Subsidies Committee makes a
        recommendation under Article 9.4 of the Subsidies Agreement and
        the WTO member country with respect to which such
        recommendation is made does not comply with such recommendation
        within 6 months after the date of the recommendation, the Trade
        Representative shall make a determination under section
        304(a)(1) of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 2414(a)(1))
        regarding what action to take under section 301(a) of that Act
        [19 U.S.C. 2411(a)].
    (f) Notification, consultation, and publication
      (1) Notification of Congress
        The Trade Representative shall submit promptly to the Committee
      on Ways and Means of the House of Representatives, the Committee
      on Finance of the Senate, and other appropriate committees of the
      Congress any information submitted or report made pursuant to

        felted, entangled, or transformed by any other fabric-making
        process in that country, territory, or possession; or
          (D) the product is any other textile or apparel product that
        is wholly assembled in that country, territory, or possession

    Sec. 3601. Administration of tariff-rate quotas

-STATUTE-
    (a) Orderly marketing
      In implementing the tariff-rate quotas set out in Schedule XX for
    the entry, or withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption of goods
    in the United States, the President shall take such action as may
    be necessary to ensure that imports of agricultural products do not
    disrupt the orderly marketing of commodities in the United States.
    (b) Inadequate supply
      Where imports of an agricultural product are subject to a tariff-
    rate quota, and where the President determines and proclaims that
    the supply of the same or directly competitive or substitutable
    agricultural product will be inadequate, because of a natural
    disaster, disease, or major national market disruption, to meet
    domestic demand at reasonable prices, the President may temporarily
    increase the quantity of imports of the agricultural product that
    is subject to the in-quota rate of duty established under the
    tariff-rate quota.
    (c) Monitoring
      The Secretary of Agriculture shall monitor the domestic supply of
    agricultural products subject to a tariff-rate quota as the
    Secretary considers appropriate and shall advise the President when
    the domestic supply of the products and substitutable products
    combined with the estimated imports of the products under the
    tariff-rate quota may be inadequate to meet domestic demand at
    reasonable prices.
    (d) Coverage of tariff-rate quotas
      (1) Exclusions
        The President may, subject to terms and conditions determined
      appropriate by the President, provide that the entry, or
      withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption in the United States
      of an agricultural product shall not be subject to the over-quota
      rate of duty established under a tariff-rate quota if the
      agricultural product - 
          (A) is imported by, or for the account of, any agency of the
        United States or of any foreign embassy;
          (B) is imported as a sample for taking orders, for the
        personal use of the importer, or for the testing of equipment;
          (C) is a commercial sample or is entered for exhibition,
        display, or sampling at a trade fair or for research; or
          (D) is a blended syrup provided for in subheadings
        1702.20.28, 1702.30.28, 1702.40.28, 1702.60.28, 1702.90.58,
        1806.20.92, 1806.20.93, 1806.90.38, 1806.90.40, 2101.10.38,
        2101.20.38, 2106.90.38, or 2106.90.67 of Schedule XX, if
        entered from a foreign trade zone by a foreign trade zone user
        whose facilities were in operation on June 1, 1990, to the
        extent that the annual quantity entered into the customs
        territory from such zone does not contain a quantity of sugar
        of nondomestic origin greater than the quantity authorized by
        the Foreign Trade Zones Board for processing in that zone
        during calendar year 1985.
      (2) Reclassification
        Subject to the consultation and layover requirements of section
      3524 of this title, the President may proclaim a modification to
      the coverage of a tariff-rate quota for any agricultural product
      if the President determines the modification is necessary or
      appropriate to conform the tariff-rate quota to Schedule XX as a
      result of a reclassification of any item by the Secretary of the
      Treasury.
      (3) Allocation
        The President may allocate the in-quota quantity of a tariff-
      rate quota for any agricultural product among supplying
      countries or customs areas and may modify any allocation as
      determined appropriate by the President.
      (4) Bilateral agreement
        The President may proclaim an increase in the tariff-rate quota
      for beef if the President determines that an increase is
      necessary to implement - 
          (A) the March 24, 1994, agreement between the United States
        and Argentina; or
          (B) the March 9, 1994, agreement between the United States
        and Uruguay.
      (5) Continuation of sugar headnote
        The President is authorized to proclaim additional United
      States note 3 to chapter 17 of the HTS, and to proclaim the
      modifications to the note, as determined appropriate by the
      President to reflect Schedule XX.

                       THE SECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE
      Proc. No. 7235, Oct. 7, 1999, 64 F.R. 55611, provided:
      1. On April 15, 1994, the President entered into trade agreements
    resulting from the Uruguay Round of multilateral trade negotiations
    ("Uruguay Round Agreements"). As part of those agreements, the
    United States converted quotas on imports of beef, cotton, dairy
    products, peanuts, peanut butter and peanut paste, sugar, and sugar-
    containing products (as defined in additional U.S. notes 2 and 3
    of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States [see 19
    U.S.C. 1202]) into tariff-rate quotas. In section 101(a) of the
    Uruguay Round Agreements Act [19 U.S.C. 3511(a)] (the "URAA")
    (Public Law 103-65 [Pub. L. 103-465]; 108 Stat. 4809), Congress
    approved the Uruguay Round Agreements listed in section 101(d) of
    that Act, including the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade
    1994.
      2. On December 23, 1994, the President issued Presidential
    Proclamation 6763 [19 U.S.C. 3511 note], implementing the Uruguay
    Round Agreements consistent with the URAA. Presidential
    Proclamation 6763 included a delegation of the President's
    authority under the statutes cited in the proclamation, including
    section 404(a) of the URAA, 19 U.S.C. 3601(a), to the Secretary of
    Agriculture, the Secretary of the Treasury, and the United States
    Trade Representative, as necessary to perform functions assigned to
    them to implement the proclamation. Section 404(a) directs the
    President to take such action as may be necessary in implementing
    the tariff-rate quotas set out in Schedule XX - United States of
    America, annexed to the Marrakesh Protocol to the General Agreement
    on Tariffs and Trade 1994, to ensure that imports of agricultural
    products do not disrupt the orderly marketing of commodities in the
    United States.
      3. I have determined that it is necessary to delegate my
    authority under section 404(a) to administer the tariff-rate quotas
    relating to cotton, dairy products, peanuts, peanut butter and
    peanut paste, sugar, and sugar-containing products to the United
    States Trade Representative and to delegate to the Secretary of
    Agriculture authority to issue licenses governing the importation
    of such products under the applicable tariff-rate quotas. The
    Secretary of Agriculture shall exercise such licensing authority in
    consultation with the United States Trade Representative.
      NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, 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 section 301 of title 3, United States
    Code, and section 404(a) of the URAA, do hereby proclaim:
      (1) The United States Trade Representative is authorized to
    exercise my authority pursuant to section 404(a) of the URAA to
    take all action necessary, including the promulgation of
    regulations, to administer the tariff-rate quotas relating
    respectively, to cotton, dairy products, peanuts, peanut butter and
    peanut paste, sugar, and sugar-containing products, as the latter
    products are defined in additional U.S. notes 2 and 3 of the
    Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States. The Secretary of
    Agriculture, in consultation with the United States Trade
    Representative, is authorized to exercise my authority pursuant to
    section 404(a) to issue import licenses governing the importation
    of such products within the applicable tariff-rate quotas.
      (2) All 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.
      IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this seventh day
    of October, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-
    nine, and of the Independence of the United States of America the
    two hundred and twenty-fourth.
                                                     William J. Clinton.
