Pursuant to section 201 of the United 

States-Chile Free Trade Agreement 

Implementation Act (Pub. L. 108–77; 19 

U.S.C. 3805 note), Presidential 

Proclamation No. 7746 of December 30, 

2003 (68 FR 75789) implemented the 

Chile FTA on behalf of the United States 

and modified the HTSUS to reflect the 

tariff treatment provided for in the Chile 

FTA. 

Note 3(a) to subchapter XXII of 

HTSUS chapter 98 requires USTR to 

publish annually a determination of the 

amount of Chile’s trade surplus, by 

volume, with all sources for goods in 

Harmonized System (HS) subheadings 

1701.12, 1701.13, 1701.14, 1701.91, 

1701.99, 1702.20, 1702.30, 1702.40, 

1702.60, 1702.90, 1806.10, 2101.12,

Chile’s imports of goods classified

tariff treatment under the Chile FTA are 

not included in the calculation of 

Chile’s trade surplus. 

Note 3(b) to subchapter XXII of 

HTSUS chapter 98 provides duty-free

those goods by 677,267 metric tons 

according to data published by its

data, USTR has determined that Chile’s 

trade surplus is negative. Therefore, in 

accordance with U.S. Note 3(b) to 

subchapter XXII of HTSUS chapter 98, 

goods of Chile are not eligible to enter 

the United States duty-free under

except that Morocco’s imports of U.S. 

goods classified under HS subheadings 

1702.40 and 1702.60 that qualify for

subheading 9822.05.20 in an amount 

equal to the lesser of that country’s trade 

surplus or the specific quantity set out

Costa Rica for CY2024).

Petitioner: The Boeing Company. 

Section(s) of 14 CFR Affected: 

§ 21.9(a)(2). 

Description of Relief Sought: The 

Boeing Company (Boeing) is seeking 

relief from 14 CFR 21.9(a)(2), which

that article unless it is produced under 

an FAA production approval. 

Specifically, Boeing is proposing the 

FAA grant an amendment to Exemption 

No. 16637B to produce, represent for 

sale, and sell new replacement parts for 

installation on Model CH–47D and CH– 

47F rotorcraft that commercial operators 

procured from United States allies, not 

just from the U.S. Army. United States 

allies, such as the Royal Netherlands Air 

Force, Royal Canadian Air Force, and
