SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 1, 

2004, Cyprus, the Czech Republic, 

Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, 

Malta, Poland, the Slovak Republic, and 

Slovenia acceded to the European 

Community (EC), and the EC customs 

union of 15 member countries (‘‘EC–

15’’) was enlarged to a customs union of 

25 member countries (‘‘EC–25’’). At that 

time, Cyprus, the Czech Republic, 

Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, 

Malta, Poland, the Slovak Republic, and 

Slovenia withdrew their tariff schedules 

under the World Trade Organization 

(WTO) and applied the common 

external tariff of the EC–15 to imports 

into the EC–25. To recognize the 

membership of Cyprus, the Czech 

Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, 

Lithuania, Malta, Poland, the Slovak 

Republic, and Slovenia in the EC–25, 

the tariff-rate quota (TRQ) allocations 

for certain cheeses from the EC–15 will 

be available to the EC–25, and the TRQ 

allocation for certain cheeses from the 

Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, and 

the Slovak Republic will become part of 

the total TRQ allocations for certain 

cheeses from the EC–25. 

Section 404(d)(3) of the Uruguay 

Round Agreements Act (URAA) (19 

U.S.C. 3601(d)(3)) authorizes the 

President to allocate in-quota quantities 

of a TRQ for any agricultural product 

among supplying countries or customs 

areas and to modify any allocation as 

the President determines appropriate. 

Section 604 of the Trade Act of 1974, as 

amended (‘‘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. 

In paragraph (3) of Proclamation 6763 

of December 23, 1994, the President 

delegated his authority under section 

404(d)(3) of the URAA to the United 

States Trade Representative (USTR). In 

paragraph 5 of Proclamation 6914 of 

August 26, 1996, the President 

determined that it is appropriate to 

authorize the USTR to exercise his 

authority under section 604 of the Trade 

Act to embody in the HTS the substance 

of any action taken by USTR under 

section 404(d)(3) of the URAA. 

Modification of the HTS 

Pursuant to the authority delegated to 

the USTR in Proclamations 6763 and 

6914, the USTR has determined that it 

is appropriate to modify the TRQ 

allocations of Cyprus, the Czech 

Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, 

Lithuania, Malta, Poland, the Slovak 

Republic, and Slovenia and to embody 

such modifications in the HTS. Effective 

with respect to articles entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse for 

consumption, on or after January 1, 

2005:
