                        Effective on May 10, 2001, you are directed to reduce the current limit for Category 345 in Group II  to 133,919 dozen[1]                                                 , as provided for under the Uruguay Round Agreement on Textiles and Clothing.                    

The Committee for the Implementation of Textile Agreements has determined that this action falls within the foreign affairs exception to the rulemaking provisions of 5 U.S.C. 553(a)(1).

Sincerely,

                        J. Hayden Boyd,
