DATES: Public comments are due by 5

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Competitive Need Limitations, De 

Minimis Waivers, and Redesignations 

The GSP program provides for the 

duty-free importation of designated 

articles when imported from designated 

beneficiary developing countries 

(BDCs). The GSP program is authorized 

by Title V of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 

U.S.C. 2461, et seq.), as amended (the 

‘‘1974 Act’’), and is implemented in 

accordance with Executive Order 11888 

of November 24, 1975, as modified by 

subsequent Executive Orders and 

Presidential Proclamations. 

Section 503(c)(2)(A) of the 1974 Act 

sets out the two CNLs. If the President 

determines that a BDC exported to the 

United States during a calendar year 

either: (1) A quantity of a GSP-eligible 

article having a value in excess of the 

applicable amount for that year ($150 

million for 2011), or (2) a quantity of a 

GSP-eligible article having a value equal 

to or greater than 50 percent of the value 

of total U.S. imports of the article from 

all countries (the ‘‘50 percent’’ CNL), the 

President must terminate GSP duty-free 

treatment for that article from that BDC 

by no later than July 1 of the next 

calendar year. 

De minimis waivers: Under section 

503(c)(2)(F) of the 1974 Act, the 

President may waive the 50 percent 

CNL with respect to an eligible article 

imported from a BDC, if the value of 

total imports of that article from all 

countries during the calendar year did 

not exceed the applicable de minimis 

amount for that year ($20.5 million for 

2011). 

Redesignations: Under section 

503(c)(2)(C) of the 1974 Act, if imports 

of an eligible article from a BDC ceased 

to receive duty-free treatment due to 

exceeding a CNL in a prior year, the 

President may, subject to the 

considerations set forth in sections 501 

and 502 of the 1974 Act, redesignate 

such an article for duty-free treatment if 

imports of that article from that country 

did not exceed the CNLs in the most 

recently completed calendar year. 

CNL waiver revocation: Under Section 

503(d)(5) of the 1974 Act, a CNL waiver 

remains in effect until the President 

determines that it is no longer 

warranted due to changed 

circumstances. Section 503(d)(4)(B)(ii) 

of the 1974 Act, as amended by Public 

Law 109–432, also provides that, ‘‘[n]ot 

later than July 1 of each year, the 

President should revoke any waiver that 

has then been in effect with respect to 

an article for 5 years or more if the 

beneficiary developing country has 

exported to the United States (directly 

or indirectly) during the preceding 

calendar year a quantity of the article— 

having an appraised value in excess of 

1.5 times the applicable amount set 

forth in subsection (c)(2)(A)(ii) for that 

calendar year ($225 million in 2011); or 

exceeding 75 percent of the appraised 

value of the total imports of that article 

into the United States during that 

calendar year.’’ 

Exclusions from GSP duty-free 

treatment where CNLs have been 

exceeded will be effective July 1, 2012, 

unless granted a waiver by the 

President. Any CNL-based exclusions, 

CNL waiver revocations, and decisions 

with respect to de minimis waivers and 

redesignations will be based on full 

2011 calendar year import data. 

II. 2011 Import Statistics 

In order to provide notice of articles 

that have exceeded the CNLs for 2011 

and to afford an opportunity for 

comment regarding: (1) The potential 

revocation of waivers subject to the CNL 

waiver thresholds for 2011, (2) potential 

de minimis waivers, and (3) 

redesignations. Lists of relevant 

products are posted on the USTR Web 

site at http://www.ustr.gov/trade-topics/ 

trade-development/preferenceprograms/generalized-systempreference-gsp/current-review-4 under 

the title ‘‘2011 GSP Annual Product 

Review: Import Statistics Relating to 

Competitive Need Limitations, Potential 

Revocations, De Minimis Waivers, and 

Product Redesignations.’’ These lists 

can also be found at 

www.regulations.gov in Docket Number 

USTR–2011–0015. Full 2011 calendar 

year data for individual tariff 

subheadings may also be viewed on the 

Web site of the U.S. International Trade 

Commission at http://dataweb.usitc.gov. 

The lists available on the USTR Web 

site contain, for each article, the 

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States (HTSUS) subheading and 

BDC country of origin, the value of 

imports of the article for the 2011 

calendar year, and the percentage of 

total imports of that article from all 

countries accounted for by imports from 

the relevant BDC. 

The computer-generated lists 

published on the USTR Web site are for 

informational purposes only. They may 

not include all articles to which the GSP 

CNLs may apply. Each interested party 

is advised to conduct its own review of 

2011 import data with respect to the 

possible application of the GSP CNL 

provisions. 

List I on the USTR Web site shows 

GSP-eligible articles from BDCs that 

exceeded a CNL by having been 

exported in excess of $150 million, or in 

a quantity equal to or greater than 50 

percent of the total U.S. import value, in 

2011. These products will be removed 

from eligibility for GSP for the subject 

countries on July 1, 2012, unless the 

President grants a waiver for the 

product for the subject country in 

response to a petition filed by an 

interested party. Such petitions for CNL 

waivers must have been submitted 

earlier in the 2011 GSP Annual Review. 

(See 76 FR 67531 and 77 FR 10034.) The 

last column in List I shows those 

products for which petitions have been 

accepted and are now under review. 

List II identifies GSP-eligible articles 

from BDCs that are above the 50 percent 

CNL, but that are eligible for a de 

minimis waiver of the 50 percent CNL. 

Articles eligible for de minimis waivers 

are automatically considered in the GSP 

annual review process, without the 

filing of a petition. List III shows GSPeligible articles from certain BDCs that 

are currently not receiving GSP dutyfree treatment, but that may be 

considered for GSP redesignation based 

on 2011 trade data and consideration of 

certain statutory factors, as described 

above. List IV shows articles subject to 

CNL waiver revocation based on the 

provisions of Section 503(d)(4)(B)(ii) of 

the 1974 Act, as amended by Public Law 

109–432. 

Recommendations to the President on 

de minimis waivers, redesignations, and 

revocation of waivers will be made as 

part of the 2011 GSP annual review 

process, and public comments 

(including comments in support of or in 

opposition to granting de minimis 

waivers, redesignations, and revocation 

of CNL waivers) are invited in 

accordance with the Requirements for 

Submissions below.
