                Proclamation 7445 of May 30, 2001

                
To Provide for the Efficient and Fair 
                Administration of Action Taken With Regard to Imports 
                of Lamb Meat and for Other Purporse

                By the President of the United States of America

                A Proclamation

                1. On July 7, 1999, President Clinton issued 
                Proclamation 7208, which implemented action of a type 
                described in section 203(a)(3) of the Trade Act of 
                1974, as amended (19 U.S.C. 2253(a)(3)) (the ``Trade 
                Act''), with respect to imports of fresh, chilled, or 
                frozen lamb meat, provided for in subheadings 
                0204.10.00, 0204.22.20, 0204.23.20, 0204.30.00, 
                0204.42.20, and 0204.43.20 of the Harmonized Tariff 
                Schedule of the United States (HTS). Proclamation 7208 
                took effect on July 22, 1999.

                2. Proclamation 7208 established import relief in the 
                form of tariff-rate quotas (TRQs) and increased duties 
                but did not make specific provision for their 
                administration. Accordingly, on July 30, 1999, 
                President Clinton issued Proclamation 7214, which 
                exempted from the TRQ goods that were exported prior to 
                July 22, 1999, and delegated the President's authority 
                to administer the TRQs to the United States Trade 
                Representative. Proclamation 7214 took effect on July 
                30, 1999.

                3. I have determined under section 203(g)(1) of the 
                Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2253(g)(1)) that it is necessary 
                for the efficient and fair administration of the 
                actions undertaken in Proclamation 7208 and 
                Proclamation 7214 to grant second-year ``in-quota'' 
                treatment to certain goods covered by the entry numbers 
                set forth in the Annex to this proclamation.

                4. Section 604 of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2483) 
                authorizes the President to embody in the HTS the 
                substance of the relevant provisions of that Act, and 
                of other acts affecting import treatment, and actions 
                thereunder, including the removal, modification, 
                continuance, or imposition of any rate of duty or other 
                import restriction.

                NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the 
                United States of America, acting under the authority 
                vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the 
                United States of America, including but not limited to 
                sections 203 and 604 of the Trade Act, and section 301 
                of title 3, United States Code, do proclaim that:

                    (1) In order to provide for the efficient and fair 
                administration of the TRQs on imports of fresh, 
                chilled, or frozen lamb meat classified in HTS 
                subheadings 0204.10.00, 0204.22.20, 0204.23.20, 
                0204.30.00, 0204.42.20, and 0204.43.20, notwithstanding 
                the provisions of subheadings 9903.02.01 through 
                9903.02.04 and immediately superior text thereto, goods 
                covered by the entry numbers set forth in the Annex to 
                this proclamation that are covered by a second quota 
                year export certificate and that were exported in the 
                first quota year shall be charged against the in-quota 
                quantity provided for in HTS subheading 9903.02.03.
                    (2) Any provisions of previous proclamations and 
                Executive Orders that are inconsistent with the actions 
                taken in this proclamation are superseded to the extent 
                of such inconsistency.

                    (3) The actions taken in this proclamation shall be 
                effective on the date of signature of this proclamation 
                and shall continue in effect through the close of the 
                dates on which actions proclaimed in Proclamation 7208 
                and Proclamation 7214 cease to be effective, unless 
                such actions are earlier expressly modified or 
                terminated.

                IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 
                thirtieth day of May, in the year of our Lord two 
                thousand one, and of the Independence of the United 
                States of America the two hundred and twenty-fifth.

                    (Presidential Sig.)B
