Commissioner of Customs,

Department of the Treasury, Washington, DC

Dear Commissioner: This directive

amends, but does not cancel, the directive

issued to you on November 4, 1996, by the

Chairman, Committee for the Implementation

of Textile Agreements. That directive

concerns imports of certain cotton, wool and

man-made fiber textile products, produced or

manufactured in Guatemala and exported

during the twelve-month period which began

on January 1, 1997 and extends through

December 31, 1997.

Effective on August 26, 1997, you are

directed to adjust the limits for the following

categories, as provided for under the Uruguay

Round Agreements Act and the Uruguay

Round Agreement on Textiles and Clothing

(ATC):

Category Adjusted twelve-month

limit 1

340/640 .................... 1,245,302 dozen.

443 ........................... 74,967 numbers.

448 ........................... 44,370 dozen.

1The limits have not been adjusted to account for any imports exported after December

31, 1996.

The Guaranteed Access Levels for the

foregoing categories remain unchanged.

The Committee for the Implementation of

Textile Agreements has determined that

these actions fall within the foreign affairs

exception of the rulemaking provisions of 5

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

Sincerely,

Troy H. Cribb,

Chairman, Committee for the Implementation

of Textile Agreements.
