SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Authority: Executive Order 11651 of March

3, 1972, as amended; section 204 of the

Agricultural Act of 1956, as amended (7

U.S.C. 1854).

In a notice published in the Federal

Register on June 28, 1993 (58 FR 34568),

CITA announced that Customs would be

conducting other investigations of

transshipments of textiles produced in

China and exported to the United States.

Based on these investigations, the U.S.

Customs Service has determined that

textile products in Categories 338, 339,

347 and 352, produced or manufactured

in China and entered into the United

States with the incorrect country of

origin and as non-textile products, were

transshipped in circumvention of the

Memorandum of Understanding dated

January 17, 1994 between the

Governments of the United States and

the People’s Republic of China.

Consultations were held between the

Governments of the United States and

the People’s Republic of China on this

matter December 6 through December 8,

1994 and March 6 through March 8,

1995. Accordingly, in the letter

published below, the Chairman of CITA

directs the Commissioner of Customs to

charge the following amounts to the

1995 quota levels for the categories

listed below:

Category Amounts to be

charged

338 .......................... 162,000 dozen.

339 .......................... 147,492 dozen.

347 .......................... 173,669 dozen.

352 .......................... 632,114 dozen.

As a result of the charges, the current

limit for Category 352 will be highly

filled.

U.S. Customs continues to conduct

other investigations of such

transshipments of textiles produced in

China and exported to the United States.

The charges resulting from these

investigations will be published in the

Federal Register.

The U.S. Government is taking this

action pursuant to U.S. letters dated

October 5, 1994 and April 17, 1995, and

the Memorandum of Understanding

dated January 17, 1994 between the

Govenments of the United States and

the People’s Republic of China.

A description of the textile and

apparel categories in terms of HTS

numbers is available in the

CORRELATION: Textile and Apparel

Categories with the Harmonized Tariff

Schedule of the United States (see

Federal Register notice 59 FR 65531,

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

Department of the Air Force

Finding of No Significant Impact

(FONSI) for the Joint Primary Aircraft

Training System

Pursuant to the Council on

Environmental Quality regulations (40

CFR 1500–1508) implementing the

procedural provisions of the National

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and

Department of Defense Instruction

5000.2, Defense Acquisition

Management Policy and Procedures, the

U.S. Air Force gives notice that an

Environmental Assessment (EA) and

draft FONSI has been prepared to

support the decision to proceed to

Manufacturing Development of the Joint

Primary Aircraft Training System

(JPATS) and is available for review.

The JPATS is proposed to replace the

two primary training aircraft and

ground-based training systems used by

the U.S. air Force (USAF) and the U.S.

Navy (USN) with one commercialderivative aircraft. The proposed action

includes the missionization, testing, and

low-rate production of 55 aircraft

meeting the technical requirements of

the USAF and the USN over the next

four years. The aircraft procured aircraft

would more closely resemble the more

advanced training and fighter aircraft

used by the USAF and the USN with

respect to design and equipment. The

aircraft would also offer better

performance and improvements in

safety, reliability, and maintainability

compared to the current aircraft over a

20-year life of the program.

This assessment analyzes the

potential environmental impacts of the

decision to proceed with JPATS into the

Manufacturing Development phase.

Additionally, the EA provides an initial

overview of impacts associated with

future decisions which could lead to the

production of 656 additional aircraft,

beddown and operations at 9 Air Force

Bases and Naval Air Stations, and

eventual system disposal.

For further information and/or a copy

of the EA and draft FONSI, please

contact: Lt Col Frank Szalejko, JPATS

Program Manager, ASC/YT, Wright

Patterson AFB, OH 45430, Phone: 513–
