Federal Register / Vol. 69, No. 225 / Tuesday, November 23, 2004 / Notices 68135

(Accession Agreement), the United 

States requested consultations with the 

Government of the People’s Republic of 

China with respect to imports of 

Chinese origin socks in Category 332/

432 and 632 part. Through a letter 

published on November 1, 2004, the 

Chairman of CITA directed the 

Commission, U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection, to establish a twelve-month 

limit on these products, beginning on 

October 29, 2004, and extending 

through October 28, 2005 (69 FR 63371). 

At the same time, the Chairman of CITA 

directed the Commissioner to require 

that shipments of these products be 

accompanied by an export visa and 

Electronic Visa Information System 

(ELVIS) transmission issued by the 

Government of the People’s Republic of 

China; this requirement did not apply to 

shipments exported prior to November 

28, 2004. The Government of the 

People’s Republic of China has objected 

to the requirement that shipments of 

products in Category 432 and 632 Part 

be accompanied by an export visa and 

ELVIS transmission. Therefore, effective 

on November 24, 2004, the United 

States is rescinding the visa and ELVIS 

requirements for products in these 

categories. However, the quota limit for 

Category 332/432 and 632 Part remains 

in effect. Goods in Category 332 shall 

remain subject to the Group II limit, and 

will continue to be subject to export visa 

and ELVIS requirements. CITA will 

revisit this issue if the situation 

warrants.

A description of the textile and 

apparel categories in terms of 

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States numbers is available in 

the CORRELATION: Textile and 

Apparel Category with the Harmonized 

Tariff Schedule of the United States (see 

Federal Register notice 69 FR 4926, 

published on February 2, 2004). Also 

see 68 FR 65445, published on 

November 20, 2003.

James C. Leonard III,

Chairman, Committee for the Implementation 

of Textile Agreements.

The Committee for the Implementation of 

Textile Agreements

November 18, 2004.

Commissioner,

Bureau of Customs and Border Protection, 

Washington, DC 20229.

Dear Commissioner: This directive 

amends, but does not cancel, the directive 

issued to you on October 28, 2004. Those 

directives concern the establishment of quota 

and visa requirements for certain cotton, 

wool, and man-made fiber socks in Category 

332/432 and 632 Part, produced or 

manufactured in China and exported during 

the period beginning on October 29, 2004, 

and extending through October 28, 2005.

Effective on November 24, 2004, you are 

directed to remove the visa and ELVIS 

requirements for textile products in Category 

432 and 632 part. However, the quota limit 

for Category 332/432 and 632 Part remains in 

effect. Goods in Category 332 shall remain 

subject to the Group II limit, and will 

continue to be subject to export visa and 

ELVIS requirements. 

The Committee for the Implementation of 

Textile Agreements has determined that this 

action falls within the foreign affairs 

exception of the rulemaking provisions of 5 

U.S.C. 553(a)(1).

Sincerely, 

James C. Leonard III,

Chairman, Committee for the 

Implementation of Textile Agreements.
