AGENCY: Office of the United States

Trade Representative.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: The United States Trade

Representative has determined that

Saint Lucia and Barbados are making

substantial progress toward

implementing and following the

customs procedures required by the

Caribbean Basin Trade Partnership Act

and, therefore, imports of eligible

products from Saint Lucia and Barbados

EFFECTIVE DATE: June 1, 2001.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Christopher Wilson, Director for Central

America and the Caribbean, Office of

the United States Trade Representative,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

Caribbean Basin Trade Partnership Act

(Title II of the Trade and Development

Act of 2000, Pub. L. No. 106–200)

(CBTPA) amended the Caribbean Basin

Economic Recovery Act (CBERA) to

provide preferential tariff treatment for

imports of certain products of

beneficiary Caribbean and Central

American countries. The trade benefits

provided by the CBTPA are available to

imports of eligible products from

countries that the President designates

as ‘‘CBTPA beneficiary countries,’’

provided that these countries have

implemented and follow, or are making

substantial progress toward

implementing and following, certain

customs procedures that assist the

Customs Service in verifying the origin

of the products.

In Proclamation 7351 of October 2,

2000, the President designated all 24

current beneficiaries under the CBERA

as ‘‘CBTPA beneficiary countries.’’

Proclamation 7351 delegated to the

United States Trade Representative

(USTR) the authority to determine

whether the designated CBTPA

beneficiary countries have implemented

and follow, or are making substantial

progress toward implementing and

following, the customs procedures

required by the CBTPA. The President

directed the USTR to announce any

such determinations in the Federal

Register and to implement them

through modifications of the

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the

United States (HTS).

Based on information and

commitments provided by the

Governments of Saint Lucia and

Barbados, I have determined that Saint

Lucia and Barbados are making

substantial progress toward

implementing and following the

customs procedures required by the

CBTPA. Accordingly, pursuant to the

authority vested in the USTR by

Proclamation 7351, general note 17(a) to

the HTS, U.S. note 7(b) to subchapter II

of chapter 98 of the HTS, and U.S. note

1 to subchapter XX of chapter 98 of the

HTS are each modified by inserting in

alphabetical sequence in the list of

eligible CBTPA beneficiary countries

the names ‘‘Barbados’’ and ‘‘Saint

Lucia’’. The foregoing modifications to

the HTS are effective with respect to

articles entered, or withdrawn from

warehouse for consumption, on or after

the effective date of this notice.

Robert B. Zoellick,

United States Trade Representative.
