Title 3— 

The President 

Proclamation 9771 of July 30, 2018 

To Take Certain Actions Under the African Growth and Opportunity Act and for Other Purposes 

By the President of the United States of America 

A Proclamation 

1. In Proclamation 7350 of October 2, 2000, the President designated the 

Republic of Rwanda (‘‘Rwanda’’) as a beneficiary sub-Saharan African country 

for purposes of section 506A(a)(1) of the Trade Act of 1974 (the ‘‘1974 

Act’’) (19 U.S.C. 2466a(a)(1)), as added by section 111(a) of the African 

Growth and Opportunity Act (the ‘‘AGOA’’). 

2. Sections 506A(d)(4)(C) (19 U.S.C. 2466a(d)(4)(C)) and 506A(c)(1) (19 U.S.C. 

2466a(c)(1)) of the 1974 Act authorize the President to suspend the application of duty-free treatment provided for any article described in section 

506A(b)(1) of the 1974 Act (19 U.S.C. 2466a(b)(1)) or section 112 of the 

AGOA (19 U.S.C. 3721) with respect to a beneficiary sub-Saharan African 

country if the President determines that the beneficiary country is not meeting 

the requirements described in section 506A(a)(1) of the 1974 Act, and that 

suspending such duty-free treatment would be more effective in promoting 

compliance by the country with those requirements than terminating the 

designation of the country as a beneficiary sub-Saharan African country 

for purposes of section 506A of the 1974 Act. 

3. Pursuant to section 506A(c)(1) of the 1974 Act, I have determined that 

Rwanda is not meeting the requirements described in section 506A(a)(1) 

of the 1974 Act and that suspending the application of duty-free treatment 

to certain goods would be more effective in promoting compliance by Rwanda 

with such requirements than terminating the designation of Rwanda as a 

beneficiary sub-Saharan African country. Accordingly, I have decided to 

suspend the application of duty-free treatment for all AGOA-eligible goods 

in the apparel sector from Rwanda for purposes of section 506A of the 

1974 Act. 

4. Proclamation 8039 of July 27, 2006, implemented the United StatesBahrain Free Trade Agreement (‘‘USBFTA’’) with respect to the United States 

and, pursuant to section 101(a) of the United States-Bahrain Free Trade 

Agreement Implementation Act (the ‘‘USBFTA Implementation Act’’) (19 

U.S.C. 3805 note), incorporated in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States (HTS) the rules of origin necessary or appropriate to carry 

out the USBFTA. 

5. Section 1206(a) of the Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act of 1988 

(the ‘‘1988 Act’’) (19 U.S.C. 3006(a)) authorizes the President to proclaim 

modifications to the HTS based on the recommendations of the United 

States International Trade Commission (the ‘‘Commission’’) under section 

1205 of the 1988 Act (19 U.S.C. 3005) if he determines that the modifications 

are in conformity with United States obligations under the International 

Convention on the Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System 

(the ‘‘Convention’’) and do not run counter to the national economic interest 

of the United States. 

6. In Proclamation 9549 of December 1, 2016, pursuant to the authority 

provided in section 1206(a) of the 1988 Act, the President modified the 

HTS to reflect amendments to the Convention. Bahrain is a party to the 


daltland on DSKBBV9HB2PROD with PRES DOCS
37994 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 149 / Thursday, August 2, 2018 / Presidential Documents 

Convention and likewise implemented the amendments to the Convention 

in its tariff schedule. 

7. Because of these changes in the national tariff schedules of the parties 

to the USBFTA, the rules of origin set out in Annexes 3–A and 4–A of 

the USBFTA must be changed to ensure that the tariff and certain other 

treatment accorded under the USBFTA to originating goods will continue 

to be provided under the tariff categories that were modified in Proclamation 

9549. The USBFTA parties have agreed to make these changes in a protocol 

to the USBFTA that went into effect on November 30, 2017. 

8. Section 202 of the USBFTA Implementation Act provides certain rules 

for determining whether a good is an originating good for purposes of 

implementing tariff treatment under the USBFTA. Section 202(j)(1) of the 

USBFTA Implementation Act authorizes the President to proclaim the rules 

of origin set out in the USBFTA and any subordinate categories necessary 

to carry out the USBFTA, subject to certain exceptions set out in section 

202(j)(2)(A). 

9. I have determined that modifications to the HTS proclaimed pursuant 

to section 1206(a) of the 1988 Act are necessary or appropriate to ensure 

the continuation of treatment accorded originating goods under tariff categories modified in Proclamation 9549. 

10. Following the amendments to the Convention reflected by the modifications to the HTS made in Proclamation 9549, the World Customs Organization 

issued a small number of conforming amendments to the Convention that 

should have been included in the amendments that were implemented on 

January 1, 2017, pursuant to Proclamation 9549. The Commission then recommended additional modifications to the HTS pursuant to section 1205 

of the 1988 Act to conform the HTS to these most recent amendments 

to the Convention. I have determined that these recommended modifications 

to the HTS proclaimed in this proclamation pursuant to section 1206(a) 

of the 1988 Act are in conformity with United States obligations under 

the Convention and do not run counter to the national economic interest 

of the United States. 

11. Proclamation 9693 of January 23, 2018, implemented action in the form 

of a safeguard measure under section 203 of the 1974 Act (19 U.S.C. 2253) 

with respect to certain crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells, whether or 

not partially or fully assembled into other products (such as modules). 

12. The safeguard measure imposed a tariff-rate quota, for a period of 4 

years, on imports of solar cells that are not partially or fully assembled 

into other products, and an increase in duties on imports of modules, 

as defined by Note 18(g) in subchapter III of chapter 99 of the HTS, also 

for a period of 4 years. 

13. 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, and of other Acts affecting import treatment, and actions thereunder, 

including removal, modification, continuance, or imposition of any rate 

of duty or other import restriction. 

14. Proclamation 9693 modified chapter 99 of the HTS to implement the 

safeguard measure described in paragraphs 11 and 12 of this proclamation. 

Those modifications included certain technical errors, and I have determined, 

pursuant to section 604 of the 1974 Act, that modifications to the HTS 

are necessary to correct them. 

15. Section 1206(c) of the 1988 Act provides that modifications proclaimed 

by the President under section 1206(a) may not take effect before the thirtieth 

day after the date on which the text of the proclamation is published 

in the Federal Register. 

NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States 

of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution 

and the laws of the United States of America, including but not limited

of the 1988 Act; and sections 203 and 604 of the 1974 Act, do proclaim 

that:

(3) In order to reflect in the HTS the modifications to the rules of origin 

under the USBFTA, general note 30 to the HTS is modified as provided

with respect to goods entered for consumption, or withdrawn from warehouse

Convention, the HTS is modified as set forth in Annex III to this proclamation. 

(6) The modifications to the HTS set forth in Annex III shall be effective 

with respect to goods entered for consumption, or withdrawn from warehouse 

for consumption, on or after the later of (i) the date that is 30 days after 

the date of publication of this proclamation in the Federal Register, or 

(ii) the first day of the month that follows after such thirtieth day. 

(7) In order to correct technical errors in the annex to Proclamation 9693, 

Note 18(c)(iii) in subchapter III of chapter 99 of the HTS is modified by 

deleting the phrase ‘‘Subheadings 9903.45.21 and 9903.45.22 shall likewise’’ 

and by inserting in lieu thereof the phrase ‘‘Subheading 9903.45.25 shall’’; 

and Note 18(g) is modified by deleting ‘‘For purposes of’’ and by inserting 

in lieu thereof ‘‘Subject to the provisions of subdivision (c)(iii) of this 

note, for purposes of’’. 

(8) Any 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 thirtieth day 

of July, in the year of our Lord two thousand eighteen, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and forty-third.
