OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES

TRADE REPRESENTATIVE

Generalized System of Preferences

(GSP); Copper Wire Bars From Russia

AGENCY: Office of the United States

Trade Representative.

ACTION: Notice of correction.

SUMMARY: The purpose of this notice is

to correct the Harmonized Tariff

Schedule of the United States (HTS) to

reflect the correct treatment under the

GSP program of refined copper wire

bars imported from Russia.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: GSP

subcommittee, Office of the United

States Trade Representative, 600 17th

Street, NW, Room 518, Washington, DC

20508 (Tel. 202/395–6971).

EFFECTIVE DATE: The correction made in

this notice is effective with respect to

articles entered, or withdrawn from

warehouse for consumption, on or after

July 1, 1999.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The GSP

program grants duty-free treatment to

designated eligible articles that are

imported from certain developing

countries. The GSP program is

authorized by Title V of the Trade Act

of 1974, as amended (‘‘Trade Act’’) (19

U.S.C. 2461 et seq). Each year, certain

products from eligible countries are

excluded from GSP treatment to the

extent imports of those products have

exceeded the applicable competitive

need limits (CNL) during the previous

year (19 U.S.C. 2463 (2)(A)). Based on

import data from the U.S. Bureau of

Census showing that imports of refined

copper wire bars (HTS subheading

7403.12.00) from Russia had exceeded

the applicable CNL, the President

revoked duty-free treatment for those

articles beginning July 1, 1999.

(Proclamation 206, 64 FR 36229, 36234

(July 2, 1999); 64 FR 36952 (July 8,

1999)). Revised Bureau of Census

statistics show that imports of copper

wire bars from Russia did not exceed

the applicable CNL and thus that dutyfree treatment for those articles should

not have been withdrawn.

Accordingly, pursuant to authority

granted by Congress to the President in

section 604 of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C.

2483) and delegated by the President to

the United States Trade Representative

in Proclamation 6969 of January 27,

1997 (62 FR 4415), effective with

respect to articles entered, or withdrawn

from warehouse for consumption, on or

after July 1, 1999, general note 4(d) to

the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the

United States is modified by striking ‘‘;

Russia’’ after subheading 7403.12.00 in

the enumeration of designated

beneficiary countries that are ineligible

to receive GSP benefits for that tariff

provision.

Requests for application of the tariff

modification and duty treatment

provided for herein must contain

sufficient information to enable the

Customs Service to identify each

relevant entry (including but not limited

to the entry number for the shipment

concerned).

Charlene Barshefsky,

United States Trade Representative.
